Very well written and not boring at all!
I'm glad I found a recommendation for this book online! For those looking for good writing tips for college essays, this one is a must! The book is not boring, very well written and it brings great examples of success! Highly recommended!! (Note: When you read it with attention you can extract from it a nice portion of knowledge. It's not a "step by step" thing, it's something for those who can read beyond words. I'm not a Harvard student, but I wish one day I can get there.)

Good but not outstanding collection of essays
I think the idea of collecting the essays from applicants admitted to Harvard is an excellent one. I got this book after reading two winner essays from a Newsweek book on essay writing for high schoolers. Now, those winners really impressed me. The ones from this book, however, are not at that level, fortunately. They are a bit contrived. In fact, some essays seem like they got a lot of help from an experienced writer. I do like the comments after each essay. I would recommend this book for that reason.

Awesome book
Love the diversity of stories and the comments! I got this book when I was feeling uninspired and stuck on my application. It offered many new approaches to writing essays. I actually got in Harvard after reading this book! 5 stars for sure!

I really like the choice of essays
I really like the choice of essays. There is a common thread that runs through all of them and it is very useful to analyze with my students. However, the portfolio of each student can be intimidating for the students. I generally tell them to ignore it.

Essays with commentary!
Essays are helpful to read but the commentary is even more helpful.
