TWITTER: @GMATRules
Are you planning to take the GMAT? Are you enrolling into an MBA program? If you are, you should read GMAT RULES! Author Harry Lee gives a no BS account of his recent MBA adventure and liberally dispenses common sense advice on deciding if this is the correct route for you.
Most GMAT books are understandably focused on Quantitative and Verbal test strategies. GMAT RULES is solely concerned with helping you answer the most important question: "Why am I taking the GMAT in the first place?" More than 250,000 people a year enroll to take the GMAT. Many of those people end up applying to Business School. In the hyperactive age we live in, how many of those people take the time to sit and reflect on whether this is actually the right decision?
Bouncing around from a liberal arts major to a finance career in the US and Asia, Harry Lee believes that he shortchanged himself by never really sitting back and reflecting on what he wanted to do with his life. Caught up in the chase for "prestigious" titles and "high-paying" jobs, Harry found himself on the proverbial hamster wheel.
Now that he's completed his MBA, Harry wants to relate his experience so that any other prospective students can have a different perspective before committing time and serious money (often more than $300,000 when opportunity costs are considered).
In the book you'll find:
- Why you shouldn't stress about the test
- Mistakes Harry made during his decision-making process
- A list of succesful people that did NOT have it figured in their mid-20s
- What careers to consider moving forward
- Why investment banking and consulting may not be for you
Often scathing and always hilarious, GMAT RULES is a worthy tool to add to your decision-making arsenal. Any one interested in an eye-opening take on the GMAT, an MBA, Work and What to do With Your Life should pick up GMAT RULES. It'll take you less than 60 minutes to read and could potentially shake up your current life trajectory!
