Summary: For students applying to college, this book is a must read.
Review: 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.

Summary: Reality
Review: This book has lots of college essays that could be used for reference when writing an college essay. However, it's too concentrated on Ivy League schools and not other competitive schools. The comments that are suppose to be reviewed by college counselors and admissions officers are poor. Most of them just explains that they are creative. It does not comment much on how the author should redo or learn from their mistakes and do this thing. Not as informative as they claim to be.

Summary: Amazing
Review: This book is simply amazing. Thanks to this book, I'm now studying neurology at Harvard. As a matter of fact, I'm in my room and I decided to look for things that would bring back pre-college memories when I came across this one. It helped me a lot with my essay and I know some of the people that wrote it. They are pretty good at what they do. If you want to get into a good college and hate looking at that blank piece of paper, then this is the book for you.

Summary: Reality
Review: This book starts off with informative advice from Admissions counselors. The book, however, did not focus on admissions to average Graduate Schools. It seemed to appeal to new college students, ivy-league admissions, and essays for financial award contests. I was disappointed.
