Gelbâ€™s ten-step approach has garnered great results for the students who have tried it, many of whom were accepted into their dream schools (Harvard, Brown, Yale, and more). This to-the-point handbook shows you how to identify an engaging essay topic, and then teaches you how to use creative writing techniques to craft a narrative that expresses your unique personality, strengths, and goals. Whether youâ€™re an A-student looking for an extra boost or a less-confident writer who needs more intensive help, Gelbâ€™s reassuring and concise guidance will help you every step of the way, from your initial draft to final revision. In the end, you will have a well-polished, powerful, and profound personal statement that you can feel proud ofâ€”a college essay that doesnâ€™t feel â€œpre-fab,â€ but is a real reflection of your own individuality.Â
