<p>Thanks for highlighting this book, Sally.
I just finished it and I liked it, too. It is a quick read that will be interesting to CC devotees.<br>
I thought the counselor places more emphasis on the essay writing process and the importance of the essay in admissions than is standard. The author points out that admissions offices often comment on the strength of the essays from this high school and that a number were featured in an outstanding essay book. Still, it seems excessive to me to have seniors take a five-day-a-week class that is primarily devoted to just writing their admissions essays.</p>
