<p>i was looking for some good books on how to go about the college essays and the application process..
would anyone like to suggest some books that helped them , or those that did not ..
i ve been checking out a few on amazon..
"conquering the college admission essay in 10 steps" seems good..
as well as a few others..
but many of the reviews on there are baised..so i wanted some true reviews
Thanks!</p>
<p>You must buy Michele Hernandez’ “Acing the College Application…”.
Also, Bauld’s “On Writing the College Application Essay…” (also, a very funny book), McGinty’s “The College Application Essay” (a lot of essay theory: structure, layout, type of argumentation, etc) and “50 Successful Harvard Essays”</p>
<p>Good Luck! :)</p>
<p>So i finally ordered a few…</p>
<p>The Fiske Guide
On writing the college application essay
Rock Hard Apps
and Conquering the college admission essay in 10 Steps</p>
<p>I would advise not to use books about college essays only because people naturally tend to try to copy them. I am not saying that you shouldn’t read a few to get a feel for the college essay, but remember to be original. Colleges want to see YOU, not what someone else.</p>
<p>Yeah… i quite agree with you… Thanks for the advice…
the essay is one thing thats scaring me the most!</p>
