How to Write a Winning Personal Statement for Graduate and Professional School

Rating:
Summary: I recommend this book wholeheartedly!!!!!
Review: The best book in the market, it touches all the points to write an introspective essay.Will give you the right question to come up with the best possible personal statement (if you manage to answer all the mentioned questions in the book).
The are very few essays which one can relate to.You can see different opinions from Dean of Admission of many schools about their admissions and what they are looking in a student essays.
On top of all a thin 100 page book, I recommend this book wholeheartedly.
I have researched a lot and the othe two decent books in the market are the Montauk's book and the ABC MBA advantage book.

Summary: A great essay writing guide
Review: The two stars go in honor of the questions asked early in the book, which do suggest many useful things to include in your statement. Very quickly, however, the book takes a one-way street that only the extreme cases can follow. The example essays include people who have escaped the communist regime of Cuba, been haunted by the Russian KGB, lived in a car, and an Olympic Skier. If you do have an extreme tear-jerker for the academy, buy this book--but that is the only style of essay discussed. If you happen to be among the average applicants, though, and you trying to get an edge, this may not be the right place to look. I am applying to Public Health school, and found more useful info in a book on getting into Law schools. I would suggest checking out the Degree of Difference Series over this book.
