Let Me In: The Practical College Essay Guide - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

In much of the world, college admission offices simply weigh test scores and grades against their standards to decide whether to let you in. This process may be harsh, but at least you know why you did—or didn’t—make the cut.

Not so in the U.S., where you’ll find your path to college littered with essay prompts. Some will ask you to weigh in on life’s oldest mysteries. Others could be copied from online personality quizzes. Many pose questions that seem simple but can cut to the bone: Why do you want to attend this college? What do you want from your future? Writing college essays can feel like playing a game where only the referee knows the rules.

Kieran Lyons has transformed his years of teaching, writing, literary scholarship, and college counseling into practical writing advice for college applicants. Inside, you will find guides to the core personal statement, the most common types of supplemental essays, and other written materials, along with examples, exercises, and resource tables. With the concrete guidance of Let Me In, the doors to college will open for you.
