5.0 out of 5 stars A 'must have' for anyone applying for US Graduate School, 17 Dec 2000
By A Customer
Getting into Graduate School in the United States is extremely competitive. Donald Asher acknowledges this and gives excellent advice and detailed examples on how to write an essay that will stand out from the thousands of statements received by universities each year.

The index is clear and the introduction explains clearly what you can expect by following the guidelines of the DOs and DON'Ts in writing a 'winning' personal statement.

The main part of the book is the fifty example essays. These all vary in style and content, and although different essays are required for different programmes and universities they were a great help to me. Helpful comments are noted in the margins of the essay text, which reiterate what is good writing material and what isn't.

In addition, the book includes helpful guidelines on writing effective reference letters for graduate applicants.

This is certainly the best book I have come across in my search for 'helpful hints' in writing an essay that will be noticed by the admissions board.

I now have to wait 3 months to find out whether Asher's book has made me write my way into the Graduate School of my choice!
