Admit One: Writing Your Way into the Best Colleges by Thomas Richards
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 372 KB
Overview: College admissions―that is, admission to the school of your choice―has become incredibly competitive. Students and their families prepare from grade school onward to shape school "careers" that will give them a leg up in applying to selective colleges. But sterling academic performance, AP classes, high test scores, and sports and other extracurricular activities are no longer enough to guarantee a slot at Stanford, Johns Hopkins, or the Ivies.
In Admit One, Thomas Richards focuses on a key aspect of the college admissions decision, one that makes all the difference in applications: good writing. This involves mastering the dreaded personal essay―but more than that, it means "writing" a college application with a consistent overarching narrative, one that tells a student’s intimate story. Writing has the ability to render the grain of a student’s own voice, fully integrated and fully under their own control. More than any other element of the application, strong writing is capable of revealing applicants as individuals from the inside out, allowing admissions committees to make fine distinctions between otherwise identical candidates.
