<p>I recently got my hands on On Writing the College Application Essay by Harry Bauld. It’s a fascinating read, but it’s somewhat old (copyright 1987) and I like to think of myself as a critical reader. So, my question for you is two-fold:</p>
<li>Have you read this book before?</li>
<li>What criticisms of some of the views/advice/applicability of things in the book do you have (if you answered yes for question 1)</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks!</p>
