Having worked in college admissions since the late ‘90s, I am always skeptical of new books about the admission process. Often they’re filled with impractical suggestions that create more stress or gimmicks that rub admission officers the wrong way. This book, by contrast, is fantastic. It is filled with useful suggestions, valuable examples, and plenty of reminders that this is not a one-size-fits-all process. Dr. Weinstein’s advice is both warm and wise. This book will surely help students not only write great essays but also minimize their stress. I will be ordering it for my clients and sharing it with my colleagues.
