Product description...


Gloria Chun has written an artful book that applies insights from the best personal essays, behavioral neuroscience, and motivational science to the art of crafting the college application essay. —Gina Snyder, MA, MEd, Career Counselor at St. Mary’s College Mastering the College Application Essay guides you in writing a personal essay that will stand out from the rest. Gloria Chun challenges you to transform the college application essay into an exploration of who you are. Her deceptively simple prose leads you on a journey to self-discovery through writing. —Joyce Park, MEd from Teacher’s College at Columbia University, Writing Instructor I learned that good writing is about being honest. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that colleges are not looking for proof of achievements as much as insight into what makes us tick. —Alyssa Gee, UCLA class of 2017
