Reviews
As admission officers give less weight to ACT and SAT scores, they give more attention to crisp, clear, authentic essays. This pragmatic guide from four proven pros teaches applicants and their parents how to craft essays that capitalize on each student's strengths. -- John P. McCormick, former editorial page editor, Chicago Tribune Even though I am a college professor, I was unsure how to advise my children when they asked for feedback on their college admission essays. Of course, I told them to check grammar rules and avoid typo's at all costs, but that was not much help. This book would have been the perfect guide, providing a clear road map of what to avoid (hackneyed themes) and how to use the essay writing process as a way to learn more about themselves. What a great blessing to families navigating the college admissions process! -- Cynthia Conlon, JD, PhD, adjunct faculty Northwestern University The Franklins and their coauthors are knowledgeable and caring parents whose practical suggestions for writing college application essays are effective and to the point (which you will learn from this book is an improvement over impactful and focused ). -- Eugene Sunshine, former chief administrative, business, financial and personnel officer of Northwestern University
