Peterson's Writing Successful College Applications offers outstanding suggestions and detailed expert advice to help students create a college application package that will help them stand out from a crowd of competitive candidates.

'It's more than just the essay.' This guide reviews all the components of a successful college application process in an honest and engaging way.

  • This new book offers proven strategies to help students craft a successful essay or personal statement, with tips and insights to guide them through the writing process.
  • There are over 50 sample personal statements from successful students plus bonus information on how to write strong activity and academic paragraphs to highlight your leadership and teamwork skills.
  • The guide provides advice and writing tips on the all-important "Why This School" paragraph to emphasize the student's interest.

Interviews with Deans of Admission offer valuable information on what colleges are really looking for in an admission essay. Often, it's not what you think. Be unique and bright - but also have a great story that will make you memorable. If the Dean is still thinking about your personal statement two days later, it achieved its purpose.

Today's multiple college applications involve writing more than just one long essay. The myriad required paragraphs and supplemental statements demand skill, finesse, tenacity, and patience.

Peterson's Writing Successful College Applications reminds the reader that what defines the application are the little details like:

  • biographical information
  • GPA and transcript
  • standardized tests
  • strong letters of recommendation
  • extracurricular and volunteer activities on a resume
  • A writing project or art or music portfolio add to the memorability factor, if the student has talent or writing skills to showcase.

The advice about writing an essay that only this student could write is excellent. Be unique and tell your own story. But remember - 'It's more than just the essay.'

Love this color brown! Very nice shirt!
Size: XX-Large, Color: Brown, Size: XX-Large, Color: Brown
Purchased for my husband for a fall wedding! The fit was great and it was wrinkle resistant. The material was soft and comfortable. It was warm enough for a fall wedding but also breathable and he looked amazing in it! I LOVE the color!

Vary comfortable
Size: X-Large, Color: Brown
I really like these shirts. I got one in the brown color because I didn't have a nice brown shirt. They fit so well and they have a very smooth feel, almost like silk. My wife said that I look great and that's what matters most. She also likes the fact that they are wrinkle free so there's less ironing. 😃 I now have five different colors, and they all fit perfectly, and I love the way they look and feel. Thank you

Great Color Dress shirt
Size: Medium, Color: Light Green
I purchased this dress shirt for my husband when he needed something to wear as a wedding guest. My dress had a bit of turquoise in it so we thought this would be a good compliment to what I was wearing. We ordered his normal dress shirt size and this was a perfect fit.My husband is slim and it was nice that this shirt wasn't boxy at all. The neck was a comfortable size and the arm length was spot on. He has nicer, more expensive dress shirts of better quality but this seemed to work out just fine for what we needed. The color was a nice shade of turquoise.. not too green and not too blue so we lucked out in that area also. We did wash this before wearing. My husband didn't complain about any stiffness/scratchiness etc.the whole day! I would say anyone wanting to purchase this shirt, that they will be pretty happy with the overall fit and comfort.

A dress shirt that allows for needed length.
Size: X-Large, Color: Light Green
Very nice dress shirt for a reasonable price, and for a size XL, the sleeves are actually long enough. The fit is relaxed and looked very professional, with a tie if one is appropriate.
