We analyze the properties of the energy landscape of {\it finite-size} fully connected $p$-spin-like models. In the thermodynamic limit the high temperature phase is described by the schematic Mode Coupling Theory of super-cooled liquids. In this limit the barriers between different basins are infinite below the critical dynamical temperature the ergodicity is broken on in infinite times. We show that {\it finite-size} fully connected $p$-spin-like models, where activated processes are possible, do exhibit properties typical of real super-cooled liquid when both are near the critical glass transition. Our results support the conclusion that fully-connected $p$-spin-like models are the natural statistical mechanical models for studying the glass transition in super-cooled liquids.
