"Helped a literature student like me, understand Net Present Value and method of calculating return on investment." - UK (Stanford MBA Candidate)
"The exhaustive school specific research compiled in the Guide, covering history, culture, courses and specialties, saved me from spending countless hours on forums and gave me an adequate understanding of the school". - India/Japan (MIT Sloan MBA)
"I stumbled on the research guide after reading the article Top 20 MBA programs - Tuition Fee in F1GMAT's blog. I didn't have high expectations for the book, but reading the chapter on Net Present Value was the tipping point. The thought and thoroughness with which the chapters have been written make the book different from what other consultants have written. The book is not a teaser for any consulting service. It is a Master reference book" - US (Harvard MBA)
"This book challenges you to think and question the assumptions and confirmation biases you see in MBA tours and information sessions. A book for those who love numbers, trends and deep analysis. Brilliant!" - US (London Business School MBA Candidate)
