Book Excerpts


Do-It Write:
How to Prepare a Great College Application

10th Edition
by G. Gary Ripple, Ph.D.


Writing the college essay is the most difficult part of the application process, and often the only "personal" contact the applicant has with the admission committee. Do-It Write shows how to get started and gives hints for writing essays that will stand out in a crowd. It also answers questions about the rest of the application so you are sure to complete each step of the process with ease. For example:

  • Can you explain why some essays are considered good? Why some are bad? Can you give examples?
  • How long will the admission committee spend on my application?
  • Who should write my letters of recommendation?
  • How important is my transcript? My SAT scores?
