Ahead of the Curve: A Perspective on Business School

For all MBA wannabes out there, I definitely recommend getting your hands on this book, Ahead of the Curve by Philip Delves Broughton.


Philip Broughton is a thirty-something journalist (read: someone with no business background) who was fortunate enough to be accepted to HBS. All I can say is, this is one book you want to read if you're wondering what business school would be like, what your classmates would be like, what the subjects would be teaching you, what it feels to be a student to a world-renowned, top-ranked school. Just keep in mind that this book is the perspective of one of the hundreds of Harvard alumni out there.


PS. This book stresses the major advantages that applicants with finance and business experience have over the other students. I wish it wasn't like that, but there you are.
