WRITING THE PERFECT COLLEGE ADMISSION ESSAY

Help students transform dull admission essays into impressive narratives by demonstrating how to bring a storytelling quality to personal statements.

Classic journalistic "ledes" and essential style techniques enhance the personal statement that places college applications at the top of the "accepted" pile. Grades 9–12. Color.
