<p>Please suggest me books that is useful when it comes to writing an application. So for example, the books that are useful for college essay writing, admission books, etc. I am so many choices and don't know which one is good. I would like to see a lot of rec. Gonna go buy the books this summer!! So please, HELP!</p>
<p>Here's a few, maybe they'll help:</p>
<p>A is for Admission by Michele Hernandez</p>
<p>Acing the College Application by Michele Hernandez</p>
<p>On Writing the College Application Essay by Harry Bauld</p>
<p>The Early Admissions Game by Christopher Avery, Andrew Fairbanks and Richard Zeckhauser</p>
<p>The Truth About Getting In by Katherine Cohen</p>
<p>College Admissions Trade Secrets by Andrew Allen</p>
<p>Harvard Schmarvard by Jay Mathews</p>
<p>Admissions Confidential by Rachel Toor</p>
<p>And I would say that the first one is tops w/ the fourth book being the best if you're looking into EA/ED, and good luck, but don't try to hard to beat the system but rather work with it. The last two I couldn't tell you much about just heard from others.</p>
<p>I suggest a book that eliminates "gonna" from your vocabulary. Definitely not one for the admissions essay</p>
<p>do these books really help you that much? isn't most of the stuff common sense or accessible through GC?</p>
