This book is completely out of date – but perhaps may oil the creative gears – no modern essay question addressed – the content on Essayedge.com is free & far better.. Another Ivy League lawyer doing things besides practicing law .. you gotta love it ..

There was nothing unique about this book. I bought 4 different books to help me write my personal statement. They all said the same thing with the same insight. Talk about plagarism. They weren’t word-for-word, but the gist was the same.
Save your money and buy only 1 book!

This book was great!! While applying for law school, I found that there was very little information regarding essays (tons of stuff about the LSAT, but what about the essay??). These examples were extremely helpful. I enjoyed reading how successful students had approached the task of presenting themselves in a few short pages. After reading this book I felt that basically anything goes in terms of law school application essays. I was finally ready to tackle writing my own essay(yikes!).

I have a biology and computer science background and was very nervous about my ability to write an impressive essay compared to other applicants with a background in english, history,and political science. I quickly identified with the essays of non traditional applicants, but also learned a great deal from the wit, charm, and literary styles of the other essays. I found the book to be invaluable in my application efforts. Thank you.

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.
