Title: Essays That Will Get You into College (Essays That Will Get You into College) by Amy Burnham, Dan Kaufman, Daniel Kaufman, Chris Dowhan ISBN: 0-7641-0610-4 Publisher: Barrons Educational Series Pub. Date: October, 1998 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $11.95 |

Summary: Pretty good, but it's available online
Comment: This book tells you the basics of what colleges want in an essay, and goes into a lot of detail for all the tips. It also tells about a lot of excercises to help you write in general, which a mediocre writer might find useful. The 50 sample essays are usually from students who got into some of the top schools, such as Cornell. Some of them are really good, but a lot of them aren't (this might raise your confidence). It has some of the essays in the back graded by admissions officers with a few lines of comment. Basically, this is a good book to get, but 90% of it is available for free on the essayedge editing website. I see no reason to pay for it if they make it available for free.

Summary: It will get you into college
Comment: As a college applicant in a foreign country, I had no idea of what American colleges wanted in an essay. I had bought one book previously, but it contained hazy advice and poor sample essays (also lacking commentry). These essays are brilliant, and well analysed. It helped me, and I hear of many advisors who use only this book to give students an idea as to what to write. BUY IT!!

Summary: An excellent book to get you started!
Comment: As someone who works privately with students, helping them with admissions essays for college, I highly recommend this book. When students call me in regard to assistance with their essays, I recommend that they first buy this book as a means to get started. The guidelines and essays have helped my clients not only to gather their thoughts, but also to organize and write them into interesting and creative essays. By the time they come to me for feedback and editing, they are well on the way to getting into the college of their choice.
