Reviews for Writing Impressive College Essays

"Did we need another book on how to write the college application essay? You'll answer a resounding yes after reading Writing Impressive College Essays by Aimee Weinstein. She presents the information you need to know in clear, easy-to-absorb chapters that cover all the bases of this formidable task. From Common Application essays to those unique supplemental prompts required by special institutions, this book will guide you to write your most effective application essay. If you know nothing of the process, you will become so much more confident ― and if you have some awareness already, your engagement with this book will enhance your self-reliance. Basically, Aimee holds your hand as firmly or gently as you need while whispering, ""Don't worry, you can do this."" --Cathy Colglazier, College Essay Tutor 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. --Reena Kamins, Founder, College Career Life"
