Description

 

Application essays need to say "PICK ME" and the best will take admission officers beyond the numbers to show who you are, how you think, and what you will add to the in-coming class. And looked at correctly, you will find you've done this before...many times. 

Updated to reflect recent changes to the application format, this easy-to-follow guide provides the tools to deliver a successful and memorable essay. 

Features:

  • Best approaches to all the essay and supplement questions
  • Insight into how admission personnel evaluate essays
  • Simple steps for successful drafts
  • Revision strategies
  • Quick fixes for procrastinators
  • The right role of parents in the process
  • Guidance for transfers, international students, veterans, and ex-pats
  • Best practices and common mistakes
  • Critiques of samples essays and supplement answers

This is the 7th edition of McGinty's classic guide to the application essay process. Her work in secondary education, admissions, and as a writing instructor at Harvard University give this guide unique breadth and depth of expertise.
