THE COLLEGE APPLICATION ESSAY

By Sarah Myers McGinty. Perhaps one of the most dreaded parts of a student’s college application process, the personal statement is really just a way to "let students write themselves in." This helpful book turns the challenges and anxieties of writing the essay into a fun, imaginative process by helping students find a topic, erase writer’s block, and open themselves up. Over 50 real application questions are offered, along with 12 sample "good" and "bad" essays with critique. Suggested readings. Index. College Board. 160 pages. Sixth Edition. ©2015.
