<p>From Sparknotes.</p>
<p>10 Things You Gotta Know
College Application Essays.</p>
<p>Costs 8 dollars. Best book period. The only thing I used. =]</p>
<p>spark notes rocks!</p>
<p>My biggest tip for using that book is first read it through. The whole thing. Then, come up with your topics and do what it says. </p>
<p>The essays in the back are great for tipping you off for what's good and what's not. Though, I personally disliked the Allison Stanford 2006 essay + Soraya Connecticut 2007 essay, the others were really nice to see. Also, it gives you practice prompts ...quite similar to what you might get. So, definitely check it out.</p>
<p>It's cheap, but worthy.</p>
<p>Thanx asdfjkl1! I will definitely be buying that book. Any one else have any suggestions?</p>
<p>I suggest you read some great speeches/stories/essays and then try to find out what makes them so great. This way you are inspired by your own interpretation, not what someone else tells you to interpret.</p>
