Summary: Perfect for applicants
Comment: I am an educational counselor and received all four of the new "Essays That Worked" books recently. These newly revised editions are perfect for any applicant stumped by or anxious about writing a personal statement. The essays are inspiring, and the advice is frank and fresh. The authors did a great job of updating these classics, and I highly recommend them to anyone applying to college, law school, business school, or med school.

Summary: Completely out of date
Comment: This book is completely out of date - but perhaps my oil the creative gears - no modern essayquestion addressed - the content on Essayedge.com is free & far better.. Author Ivy League lawyer doing things besides practicing law ..

Summary: Good and Not-So-Good
Comment: This book has good and bad qualities. It segments various "types" of essays such that you will likely see examples of the type of essay you would like to write. This is helpful if you want to write, say, a "why I got bad grades" type of essay. Also, the authors give good tips about what to hit on, and what not to touch. So, in this regard, it's a helpful guide. However, I am an older student and I found the content of most essays to be very naive and difficult to relate to. It's hard to imagine many of these being considered "good" samples by admissions departments, especially by today's standards (some of the essays are from the 1980's). The tips are disappointing too. For example, they offer feedback from admissions officers, but it's very thin stuff; there's no depth on perceptions and perspectives of these individuals. For example, in "Law School Confidential" by Robert Miller, he conducted a candid interview with a Director of Admissions. This level of depth is missing in this book. You get the surfacy stuff that can spawn ideas for your own essays, but not a lot of perspective. So, it was helpful to me but it lacked the depth I hoped for.
