Free B-School Snapshot Guides

In the spirit of phantombanker's post last year "Free B-School Guides!", Clear Admit has recently come out with 2013-214 guides here: School Snapshots

From Phantombanker's post last year:

The Clear Admit Shop currently has free b-school "snapshot" guides available for download here

The guides aren't terribly comprehensive, but can serve as a pre-liminary dive into schools that you are considering. This is very thoughtful of the folks at Clear Admit given that this is probably the time of year that those of us applying for b-school should be researching the schools that we are interested in given that they will be releasing their essay questions very soon.

It is obviously a way for Clear Admit to drum up business for themselves, but if you like what you see, it might not hurt to buy a couple of guides for the schools that you are interested in. I know a lot of companies offer these guides, and if the members who have successfully applied to b-school can please comment on which guides they used / found most helpful, it would be greatly appreciated.

I hope this is helpful - I am going through 11 guides as we speak and so far I am relatively impressed / appreciative of how much time this will save me in getting up to speed on a lot of programs quickly.

From Clear Admit:

The School Snapshots are designed to give prospective applicants concise overviews of leading MBA programs as they begin the process of finding the right business school. Created especially for early-stage applicants with limited knowledge of MBA programs at leading business schools, each School Snapshot provides essential information about a given school’s MBA program, including faculty, curriculum, campus life, job placement statistics, and more. As a series, the Snapshots provide an excellent, objective introduction to MBA programs in the United States and abroad, making them the perfect resource for candidates who are trying to determine which business schools’ strengths and offerings best fit their needs and goals. We recommend the full-length School Guides to applicants who are working on written applications or preparing for interviews.
