Review title: tips for writing your essay
Product review: One of the most useful of the essay collections for college applicants.Tips are good, and well-organized. It is great to be able to read actual "winning" essays. At first read, I was far less than impressed with many of them. I wished for a more specific critiquing system, as in "Fifty Successful Harvard Application Essays," also available thru amazon. (In contrast, the Harvard Crimson book actually includes critiquing on every essay... reader can see what qualities made the essay a winner, and also some ideas on what could have made it even better).But in general, the tips are good, and this should be a guide for ALL high school students who wish to write better essays.Oh, yes. After using this book as a guide, my son got accepted, early decision, into a great school. So that's worth a few stars.
