Ivy League Playbook

<p>Elite American admissions systems seem shrouded in mystery. Plummeting acceptance rates suggest that even the most stellar academic record no longer suffices to differentiate a candidate from the rest of the applicant pool. <p/>The personal essay is an exercise in self-marketing in underscoring your authentic value-add to a college campus. Without the right frameworks and insights on how to approach this task many applicants miss the opportunity to convey something profound about themselves. <p/><b>After a decade of studying what works for the world's most selective admissions committees we've crystalized the elements that distinguish winning essays from those cast upon the dreaded rejected pile.</b> <p/><b>Through in-depth analyses of 25 Common Application Essays that have succeeded at Ivy League and Ivy+ (Stanford Caltech UChicago) universities you'll discover the transformative journey of composing an outstanding college essay that leaves a lasting impression.</b> And beyond the samples you'll gain actionable tools and concrete exercises in our workbook to compose your very own.</p>
