The book is so great for written such a great easy that I actually GOT INTO HARVARD because I did everything he says and I got in because of it. After all I was always a really good writer but I didn’t think I had need to use an guide book after all, but I read it after all and look, it really did it work!!! My good written got even better and made me get into any really great school. So if you think you don’t need help you are a good writer to, you might be actually surprized by you actually IMPROVE you’re all ready good stile, but try it anyway and you will actually see just how many more easys you actually CAN write…do what he says and you to actually will get into the colege of you’re DREAMS! Im so excited. Thank you mr Bauld.

I cannot comment on the utility of this book for applying to undergraduate schools. It may be fabulous. The author does use humor and lots of examples to help. However, I was applying to graduate school, and the essay style is completely different (at least it was for all of my applications).
The graduate essay requires a wealth of specific information to be included. Specific, biographical information including past jobs and relevant experiences. This book discourages such broad essays – the very ones required by most graduate programs (at least in psychology). For grad school applicants, I recommend “How to Write a Winning Personal Statement for Graduate and Professional School” by Richard Stelzer. Not only is it thought-provoking and well written, it includes sections for specific programs (medical, law, business, etc.)
