Praise for The Best College Admission Essays
By Cynthia C. Muchnick, M.A.
“I WAS ACCEPTED EVERYWHERE I APPLIED!!
This book helped me come up with essays that ultimately led to my acceptance at all 12 schools to which I applied (two of which are IVY league schools and all of which are ranked by US News at within the top 50 Doctoral Universities in the Nation)! I honestly don't think I would have had a chance had it not been for this book!”

“One of the most useful of the essay collections for college applicants. Tips are good, and well-organized. It is great to be able to read actual “winning” essays. . . .in general, the tips are good, and this should be a guide for ALL high school students who wish to write better essays. Oh, yes. After using this book as a guide, my son got accepted, early decision, into a great school. So that's worth a few stars.”

“Very comprehensive with valuable insights. I really liked this book because of the Advise From Experts section. The book consulted the Dean of Admissions from a dozen different colleges. The Admission officials discuss what they look for and what they hate. It was a candid section, and it had a unique outlook. The book also gave actual admission essays from students that everyone wanted and they grouped them into categories. This gave me valuable insights into what other students have done and what these students consider valuable experiences. Lastly, the book talks about do's and dont’s. They weren't the typical do's and don'ts that you find in all of the other books. They had a unique spin and opened my eyes to some little known don'ts. Great book! Worth the investment! ...the essays are great reading!”
