<p>I’m glad so many people agree =D. There are many things that strike me as off about CC, but that was the one that jumped out, after reading “amazing” for the hundredth time.</p>
<p>My common app essay was a lousy stinking mess that the most hardened jani-editor would not touch. :D</p>
<p>Nah, but it was a mess. A couple supplements were pretty good though.</p>
<p>

<p>I’ve always wanted to read that one. Old, but classic.</p>
<p>College Confidential’s other favorite essay book is this one: [Concise Advice: Jump-Starting Your College Admissions Essays](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Concise-Advice-Jump-Starting-College-Admissions/dp/0974386707/”>http://www.amazon.com/Concise-Advice-Jump-Starting-College-Admissions/dp/0974386707/</a>) written by some weird guy named digmedia. The second edition is also out, but currently temporarily out of stock.</p>
<p>CC’s review is here: [College</a> Confidential Book Review: College Application Essays](<a href=“http://www.collegeconfidential.com/college_books/college-application-essays.htm]College”>http://www.collegeconfidential.com/college_books/college-application-essays.htm)</p>
