Features: "One of the best books ever written about tackling the admissions essay." "A helpful guide for students concerned about putting their best foot forward in preparing their admission essay." "These sample essays are interesting and, because they reflect the lives, interests, and writing styles of other teenagers, they will certainly fascinate this book's audience. Highly recommended." When a college or university requires an application essay, what is the admissions committee really looking for? Many schools are now stressing the admissions essay and grades over SAT and other test results. Offering a wide array of proven methods, sound advice, and varied samples of successful student essays, this book dispels the mystery and dread often associated with writing an application essay and guides the student painlessly from the "stop worrying" to the "start writing" stage.
