Summary: Top Essays, Good Critiques, A Bit Too Polished?
Comment: I purchased 3 College Essay books (100 Successful College Application Essays, 50 Successful Harvard Application Essays, and Essays That Worked), and have the following comments... I believe that the Harvard book has the best suggestions on how to write an essay, along with the best commentary/critique. However, the essays are a bit too polished. I think for 90% of prospective college students, their essays would be more like those in and patterned like those in Essays That Worked. For varied ideas on essays, the 100 Successful book gives some good ideas, but I believe many of the essays to be subpar. I did each book to have some interesting general reading, especially if one likes "short stories"... or if one is interested in 17 & 18 year olds, and what goes thru their minds.

Summary: Helpful to the College Applicant
Comment: Forget the Harvard label; this book will help the college applicant understand what kinds of essays catch the attention of the admissions people at any selective university.
A really great feature are the comments and critiques after each essay. Some of the essays seemed odd to me, but after reading the Crimson staff comments, I realized that a certain type of essay succeeds in these circumstances.
Frank, useful critiques. A good read for that college applicant.
Oh, and after using this, my kid got into a different Ivy League school.

Summary: This Book Really Helped Me
Comment: I know when I was applying to the University of Michigan, this book really gave me a lot of help. There are pointers from the Harvard students and advice that really works!
This book is definitely worth using to help you get into your dream school.
