Hello friends, classmates, Facebook family, and Applicants! 

As many of you know, when I applied to business school I fully immersed myself in the application process.  I knew that I had some weaknesses in my application but I had hoped that I would be able to overcome them.  In order to figure out "the secret" I bought all of the MBA Admissions guides, white-papers, and books that were on the market, but they all seemed very similar.  

Getting to the Core is the book i wish I'd had when I applied.  It would have made my process much easier and less stressful.  The other books on the market seemed to be written by "stellar" candidates with high GMAT scores & GPAs combined with a phenomenal work experience and Undergraduate institution pedigree.  Those books didn't speak to me, the seemingly unlikely candidate with a low GMAT score and GPA.  

As I continued writing my MBA journey blog "Ellipsing My Way...To Business School" I found myself giving advice that resonated with candidates also going through the application process - which is how the idea for this book came about.  

"Richard was a savior for me and I honestly think I would be writing business school essays again this Fall if I didn't get help from Richard. I had a high GMAT and a high GPA, adequate work experience and various community service activities; I was very discouraged when I was put on the waitlist from Stern; I reached out to Richard and asked him to look at my complete application and my admission essays; he gave me incredible tips on how I can tell my story more effectively and better connect with the Stern Admissions. He guided me to write a wait-list update letter and BOOM, I will now start my Stern journey this Fall." - NYU Stern 2015 Candidate

What's in the Book Getting to the Core is 300+ thoughtful pages broken up into three main parts: 

• Part 1: My grueling year-long application story
• Part 2: The Business School experience
• Part 3: How to PROPERLY navigate the application process to gain admissions to a top MBA program.  From school research -> conveying fit -> rocking the interview!

Throughout the book, I leverage my experiences (both positive & negative) to reveal how one can navigate the business school application process SUCCESSFULLY. I definitely tried to add my own sense of humor into the book but I'm also very candid and blunt.  I didn't see a need to sugarcoat things because really... who has time for that?  I simply tell it like it is because that's the only way I know how!

Since graduating from Johnson at Cornell University in May of 2013, I have been helping business school applicants prepare for the 2013-2014 MBA admissions cycle.  As such, I'm offering various consulting options as rewards for pledging to this campaign.  I've been featured on Poets & Quants, BeatTheGMAT, GMATClub, Clear Admit, MBA Podcaster and MBA.com as a featured video blogger.

This Indiegogo campaign will cover (trust me, I've done the math):
- production costs
- printing costs
- order fulfillment
- illustration
- content & copy editing
- and hiring other professionals

Thank you for reading! Please pledge and spread the word. I'm excited to get this book published so that it can get out there on the market for the current applicants.  PLEASE HELP ME TO HELP OTHERS!
