This project was started by two former Harvard Business School students, myself (Paul) and Andrew. I was introduced to Andrew by a mutual friend when he was visiting HBS as a prospective student. Coming from a private equity background, I had all of the advantages I could hope for as a business school applicant. My firm had a very specific process, including a full-time, dedicated admissions expert, to help me get into a top school. This was a fine-tuned process based on years of successfully sending a high percentage of Analysts and Associates to HBS and Stanford. I was given access to tons of proprietary information, and a formula for cracking the system.
Andrew was working at a well-respected Fortune 500 company. After talking to me, he quickly realized that despite reading all of the major business school admissions books and scouring the BusinessWeek forums for hours on end each day, he still didn’t really understand the system and how it worked – information only applicants from the most elite and exclusive firms had access to.
I went home, found all of the admissions materials that were given to me by my firm and the in-house admissions expert, and passed them on to Andrew.
That spring, Andrew got accepted into HBS.
A few years ago, we met again and began collaborating with a few of our friends from other top MBA programs who had similar revelations. Together, we took the proprietary and confidential admissions materials from feeder firms, assembled these documents into this manual, and then distributed it to our closest friends and family. We knew we had something special when all 26 of the people we gave this manual to were accepted into one of their top 2 choices.
Subsequently, we have continued to share this manual only via word-of-mouth every year. Since its first release, so many people have told us what an incredible tool it is and encouraged us to release it to the public. We are excited to finally be able to do that now here on Bschooladmissionsformula.com.
After you read this manual, you’ll understand why the admissions process isn’t arbitrary at all and that there is a formula you can use to crack the system.

“Paul W’s guide was excellent and helped bring my essays to the next level. It was definitely the best advice I received during my entire application process, and got my application up to par for Wharton! For example, I would not advise that you write up your ST and LT goals essay for H/W/S without reading his section on crafting a career essay. Let’s just say Paul’s book will make you realize that the forums and the Montauk and Isiadinso books are a complete waste. Also, you definitely need this book if you have a Finance background and are looking to differentiate yourself.”

“You seem to me more like The Sherlock Holmes of Admissions Business! The only reason that I contacted you was because after reading the first 8 pages of your sample pdf, I knew you had some very intimate understanding of business schools, especially Harvard.”
