EssaySnark’s MBA Strategy Guides provide insights to putting together a powerful application based on your target schools’ unique preferences and policies. Strategy guides are available for select schools through online-only access here on essaysnark.com.
“Awesome guides by the way – big ups!”
Be careful about buying used copies on other sites; they are guaranteed to be OUT OF DATE.
All used paperbacks and ebook versions of school-specific guides that you may find for sale on the internet are **OLD VERSIONS** (for 2014 apps and even older).
We’ve got more than half the guides updated for the 2018 requirements already! Given the massive changes in requirements announced by so many schools, this is a bigger effort than usual this year, so please be patient with us (the more time we spend on the guide, the easier your job will be in writing your essays for that school). You can identify the 2018 editions with the red “New Edition 2018” circle; the 2017 versions had a blue “Updated” stamp instead. All school-specific essay guides are only available online here at essaysnark.com. The waitlist and accepted student guides are current in Kindle and other ebook formats so you’re good to go in buying any of those from Amazon and other sites (the interviewing and reapplicant guides are mostly current in those other editions; there was an update to each of them in the past year and those new versions are only available at essaysnark.com, though for both, you’d still be fine using the prior versions if that’s what you ended up with). If you’re buying a school-specific essay guide in paperback from a reseller or private party, there is no chance that it is for the current 2018 admissions season!
All sales for these online versions purchased here at essaysnark.com are final; you get instant access to an information product, thus no refunds are available.

Here’s what one BSer sent us after submitting apps in Round 1 2014:
“In hindsight:
Your strategy guides are awesome; I was a bit skeptical at first because I had another company’s “strategy guides”–and they were literally useless. Just regurgitated information I could find on wikipedia or on the school’s website.
I think what really helped me, and something I would 100% tout to other candidates, is understanding through your strategy guides what each school is looking for. Once I realized that [school] was more concerned with [specific insights gained from guides] than anything else, it made it much easier to pitch my essay.
In retrospect, I was trying to pack too much into my “goals” essays with all my ‘sellability competencies’. All the different countries I’ve traveled to and worked in. My unique background. Etc. What ended up happening was the kitchen soup issue.
Thanks for your help; I may purchase a couple more essay reviews before the app season is over. And I’ll keep you posted.
Cheers”

Another note from a successful BSer – received in March 2015 after this person got in during Round 2 with literally no outside help from us – a true do-it-yourselfer!
“I am very very excited-it still doesn’t feel totally real (after two years of working to make it happen)! Big thanks to you guys-the blog and the strategy guides I used really made a huge difference in the way I approached the process and helped immensely! I appreciate it so much! :)”
Our guides have only gotten better since then! We do a complete review and often a near-complete rewrite of every single guide when we publish for the new season.
