(成功申请大学的个人陈述范例) 100 Successful College Application Essays pdf 免费 地址 txt lrf 下载 kindle umd

The essay is the one part of the college application that allows an admissi*** committee to get a glimpse not only of what you are (grades, scores, club member), but of who you are. "Applicants are c***tantly advised to 'put their best foot forward,'" says Fred Hargadon, the dean of admissi*** at Princeton University and a contributor to this book. "But I must confess that I always liked the ones who put both feet forward." That doesn't mean that your essay needs to shock. It means you must put everything you've got into it. It means that "if you think the college might receive even one other essay like yours," according to Brooks School college counselor William K. Poirot, "rewrite it."

The bulk of this book, as its title promises, comprises 100 examples of successful college-application essays. There are those who believe that reading essays will make you a better essay writer and those who don't. But reading these essays--and the experts' comments on them--will help you figure out what you want to write and how best to write it. From the essays included here, one surmises that the narrower your focus, the more effective the essay, as long as your narrowness doesn't cross over into insignificance. What matters most is not what you write about (these essays take on late-night TV game shows, self-induced baldness, the picture on a bag of Goldfish crackers, a family drive on the New Jersey Turnpike, and even a seven-inch plastic Godzilla), but what you do with your subject matter. --Jane Steinberg --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
