David Miller, Director of College Counseling, Stevenson School I would like to extend my greatest appreciation to your Accepted publication. I recently applied to Cornell University. I read your book from cover to back, wrote an essay about Snorkeling in Okinawa (which most people criticized), and got ACCEPTED to Cornell. Thank you very much for your help, and I'll be sure to refer this book to anyone applying to college. Jason Clemmey If you're struggling with your essays, the Tanabes offer some encouragement.
