Description

This popular guide helps students write essays that win admission. Winning college application essays take admission officers beyond the numbers and show them what the students really care about, how they think, and who they really are. This easy-to-follow guide provides the tools to tell a memorable story. Updated to reflect recent changes to the all-important Common Application, which nearly all applicants to competitive colleges use, this book provides a clear path to an essay that says, "Pick me!" Features include the best approaches to the new Common Application questions, clues to how colleges read essays, simple steps for successful drafts, revision strategies, quick fixes for procrastinators, and the right role of parents in the process. Critiques of actual sample essays guide students toward the best practices and away from common mistakes. No other book on this topic has this breadth and depth of expertise.
