The Foreword is contributed by Nafeez Amin, founder of Smart with a Heart GRE Prep, who brings over a decade of test prep and MBA admissions expertise to this edition.

What people are saying:

This book changed my life. After applying to MBA programs twice and receiving multiple rejections, I decided to read this book as I prepared for yet another application cycle. Armed with the knowledge in this book and Alec’s steps in mind, I applied to six programs, five of which were M7. I got accepted into all of them. I simply would not be where I am today without this book. Thank you, Alec, for writing this book, thank you, Service to School, for your guidance and mentorship, and thank you, Smart with a Heart, for enabling me to achieve my target test scores at a price and time commitment that any Active Duty service member can afford. If you don’t know what those organizations are, read this book!

MBA Made Simple

I recently listened Breaking Business School on Kindle and finished it in just two days. The wisdom it offers is invaluable—I was so impressed I purchased a hard copy.

It provides a clear, holistic view of the MBA journey—before, during, and after—helping me set realistic expectations and understanding how to position myself for success. Even if you're unsure about pursuing an MBA, the insights are valuable for personal, academic and professional growth.

Thanks to the author for this remarkable resource!
