Obtaining a place in a top MBA programme is a long road in which TOEFL and GMAT are two milestones. Generally, the TOEFL is not a great obstacle; however the GMAT is a significant difficulty. In EAS Milan I found Bob Stanton, a professor who has an amazing experience and deep knowledge of the GMAT. Bob provided me with the tools that allowed me to improve my performance.  But we must not forget that high test scores alone do not warrant a place in a prestigious MBA. The admission committee examines applications globally, and therefore outstanding essays are compulsory. Bob has read hundreds of essays of people who have been admitted. He knows what an admission committee is looking for and what would be considered an exceptional essay. Bob supplied me with useful tips and wise advice that let me enhance my application and achieve the dream of being admitted in one of the best MBA programmes in the world.
