<p>Is there a website or list of some good college essays? I want to get a feel for what a "good" essay delivers before I start mine.</p>
<p>I googled “College Entrance Essays” and I came upon this site, which seemed good:</p>
<p>[Sample</a> College Admission Essays and Sample Personal Statements](<a href=“college-admission-essay.com - college admission essay Resources and Information.”>college-admission-essay.com - college admission essay Resources and Information.)
It has different examples of essays.</p>
<p>I also got this, which are links on the Amazon website for books with different essays from students
