Very good
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
The essays are seperated into topics (eg. Applying to College, work experience, coming to america), and each include good essays. The book includes essays of the admittants to top tier colleges (Ivies), and some second tier ones. Interestingly, there are no essays from MIT! (No surprise though, considering the rivalry betwene MIT and Harvard -- the book was organized by Harvard newspaper) Overall, great book.

Before I bought this book I thought my essay was pretty good until I bought this book. Then I knew that I could make my essay even better just by just following the essays in the book. I didn't even think I needed to get a guide book for my essay because I thought it was pretty good already without help from an essay book. But apparently this book worked really good because I did not get deferred from college! I got into my first choice just by using this book and I recommend it to anyone even to those who do not think they need a guide book for their essays because they think their essays are already pretty good like I thought mine was.BUY THIS BOOK!
For students applying to college, this book is a must read.

There are many books devoted to the "How to write a college admissions essay" topic, but after all these years this book continues to top our list (along with our very own application and essay kits).We've read almost every book remotely related the college and graduate school admissions process, and most of them will prove to be a waste of your money. This book, however, is well worth its cost.We strongly encourage all students applying to college to read this book. We know because we're the admissions essay authority.
a sure help

I read this book at my career counsellor's office. It was indeed a wonderful book, I tried to order it but I could'nt get it as the online ordering facility was not working. I also tried various book stores but could'nt find a copy of it.
