"Prior to purchasing this book, I felt extremely lost in the world of college applications and didn't quite understand what was expected of the admissions essays. However, especially through the uncertainty of the pandemic, I can assure you that this book is your key to clearing up any confusion of the sort. Mooney's words are clear and concise, allowing you to develop a complete and thorough understanding of what exactly will set you up for success. He includes seemingly simple, yet relevant journal entries that can later set you up for a solid essay...along with specific examples of what & what not to do throughout the general process.
However, the most helpful component of this book would have to be the sample essays. Going through and reading those stellar essays opened up my eyes to the levels of creativity and revision that the best of essays are composed of. Not only did they help me develop new approaches to previous ideas, but they ignited quite the spark of inspiration. I am not quite finished with my essays yet, but I know that I would be absolutely nowhere near where I currently am if it weren’t for this book."
