Summary: I WAS ACCEPTED EVERYWHERE I APPLIED!!
Review: I really liked this book because of the Advise From Experts section. The book consulted the Dean of Admissions from a dozen different colleges. The Admission officials discuss what they look for and what they hate. It was a candid section, and it had a unique outlook. The book also gave actual admission essays from students that everyone wanted and they grouped them into categories. This gave me valuable insights into what other students have done and what these students consider valuable experiences. Lastly, the book talks about do's and don'ts. They weren't the typical do's and don'ts that you find in all of the other books. They had a unique spin and opened my eyes to some little known don'ts. Great book! Worth the investment! Even if you don't like it for the content, the essays are great reading!

Summary: "Avoid Careless Errors and Grammatical Blunders"
Review: page 26
"There is no excuse for spelling errors in your essay!"Okay, authors, so please take your own advice - it's "Seuss" not "Suess" (page 19), "Dave Barry" not "Dave Berry" (page 9). These are the authors' mistakes, not from the students' essays. Good ideas - Sloppy editing = Lost credibility.

Summary: I WAS ACCEPTED EVERYWHERE I APPLIED!!
Review: This book helped me come up with essays that ultimately led to my acceptance at all 12 schools to which I applied (two of which are IVY league schools and all of which are ranked by US News at within the top 50 Doctoral Universities in the Nation)! I honestly don't think I would have had a chance had it not been for this book!
