Great Applications for Business School, Second Edition Review: A Successfully-Matriculated Executive MHA Thanks To Great Applications for Business School - I read and referenced Paul's book (Great Application's for Business School) as I worked on my application essay for the University of Minnesota's Executive Master of Healthcare Administration program - it made all the difference. Although the primary audience for this book is MBA applicants, the tips and insights were exactly what I needed to compose a successful MHA statement of purpose. Similar to top MBA programs (and other masters' programs), the top MHA programs are highly competitive. Added to this is the competition for one of a few slots for an "executive" program - where standard applicants are highly accomplished healthcare professionals. The University of Minnesota has firmly held a top three slot among MHA programs for countless years running and has an impressive alumni base. As a non-clinician and early career professional, I had a steep road to acceptance. My first attempt at a statement of purpose was written without the insights and guidance of Paul's book - when I read it now, even I am painfully bored! After reading this book, I was able to craft a compelling narrative that pulled together my personal story, my experience, and the unique aspects of the program so as to clearly articulate how the program was a natural fit for me and my career path. More importantly, I was able to paint the picture of how I was the perfect fit for the program. So, what was the result? I was amazed to receive an enthusiastic acceptance within the first round. Overall, I credit Paul and Great Applications for Business School for my successful application. Review: Best Business School Essay Book so far! Awaiting 2nd Edition - I am the founder of GMAT Club, a massive online MBA community, representing 10% of the incoming class at top business schools this year. Here are my thoughts about the book: This is by far the best book on MBA Essays I have reviewed. It is motivating to read and contains nuggets of value on every page. Even the obvious points in the "what not to do" section are strong PROS + Great self-diagnostic/reflection methodology + Real essays and real examples + What not-to-do section with every chapter + Practical - it is not a bunch of tricks or gimmicks but solid value + Numerous quotes from admissions officers + Section on Letters of Recommendation (LOR) CONS - Essays are getting a bit dated in this edition, so awaiting the second edition - None really Bottom line: taking into consideration that an Admissions consultant could cost $2-4K per school, this is a great guide. I wish this book was out when I was applying. Let me know if any questions about this book, I respond to comments and own/reviewed most of other MBA Admissions/GMAT books Best Regards, BB, MBA, GMAT 750 Founder of GMAT Club ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,588,066 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #144 in Business School Guides (Books) #410 in Graduate School Guides #1,250 in Leadership Training | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 174 Reviews | ## Images ![Great Applications for Business School, Second Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fYytEbOjL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Successfully-Matriculated Executive MHA Thanks To Great Applications for Business School *by A***R on January 24, 2017* I read and referenced Paul's book (Great Application's for Business School) as I worked on my application essay for the University of Minnesota's Executive Master of Healthcare Administration program - it made all the difference.

I was hoping to glean a few tips to tweak my essays and tighten up my resume. After reading Bodine's advice, I now feel that I'd have been remiss to skip this reference. Clearly a veteran strategist, Bodine succinctly outlines his recommendations in an effective combination of theory and real-life examples. His writing style is smooth and accessible, and I found his information immediately useful. I especially recommend this book to those who already possess the scores, involvement, and experience necessary for top-tier admissions; this book will provide such applicants with a clearly marked path to a cogent and appropriately unique product for the adcoms. As a side note, I have since contacted Bodine via his webpage in order to utilize his consulting services. I have been impressed by his thoroughness and responsiveness - each of my e-mails was answered within minutes or hours. ## Frequently Bought Together - Great Applications for Business School, Second Edition (Great Application for Business School) - 65 Successful Harvard Business School Application Essays, Second Edition: With Analysis by the Staff of The Harbus, the Harvard Business School Newspaper - Your MBA Game Plan, Third Edition: Proven Strategies for Getting Into the Top Business Schools --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1609944-great-applications-for-business-school-second-edition](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1609944-great-applications-for-business-school-second-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
