College Application Essay, The : Revised edition (The College Application Essay)

Summary: Probably one of the worst investments I can think of.
Review: I have no idea what the point of this book is. However, I can say that it is a singular waste of time and money. The tips are essentially useless and far too abstract to have any real impact on your writing. Ms. Myers' teaching strategy conforms to the 'my way or the highway' philosophy and does not encourage you to work with your strengths. Do yourself a favor and buy a book of successful essays instead -- you'll learn far more from those examples than from this manifesto.
