Based on thousands of interviews with successful grad students and graduate admissions officers, Graduate Admissions Essays deconstructs and demystifies the ever-challenging and seemingly more impersonal application process for getting into graduate and scholarship programs. The book presents 50 sample essays in a comprehensive range of subjects, detailed strategies that have proven successful for some of the most notoriously competitive graduate programs in the country, as well as sample letters of recommendation, essays for residencies and fellowships, and postgrad applications. Review: Just buy it - This book was so helpful in my graduate application process. Im the first college grad in my immediate family... so I didn't know much about grad school or how to get into grad school. This book was like the mentor I never had. It helped me write a killer personal statement/essay and I landed a spot in an amazing doctoral program. I highly recommend. Review: I would definitely recommend this book - I would definitely recommend this book! This book was great for several reasons... First, it gives you a LOT of context. You get a better picture about who is reading your essay, what they are looking for, what the purpose of the essay is, and a better understanding of the application process in general. Obviously, you will need to pick and choose what applies to your field/program because certain things won't necessarily apply (which the author mentions). There is a lot of input from admissions committee members about what they do and don't like reading, which I thought was particularly helpful. The writing exercises are excellent because they are less daunting than trying to write the essay all at once, and once you complete these short prompts, you will find the scaffolding of your essay is already there for you. There were also a lot of helpful suggestions for the revision process. I would not waste time reading tons of the sample essays. I would find a couple that are in your field of study (or something similar) and look over how they were structured and to get ideas for style. If you are in a crunch though, just read chapters 4-7. The author does a great job helping you draw on your entire life experience to help you supplement your essay and make you stand out as a genuine and interesting person. I was really worried about my application being unimpressive. Never underestimate the power of a great essay! So far I have heard back from 5 of my schools and have been offered 5 interviews! I really think I owe a lot of that to this book and having an essay that stood out. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #282,898 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #9 in Business School Guides (Books) #98 in Graduate School Guides #2,959 in Education Workbooks (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 306 Reviews | ## Images ![Graduate Admissions Essays, Fourth Edition: Write Your Way into the Graduate School of Your Choice - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Pwtbt2PsL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just buy it *by A***E on November 18, 2024* This book was so helpful in my graduate application process.

This book provides ideas to help you, it will not write the essay for you or tell you exactly what to write, it will help you. It helped me. By most standard measures, there is no way I should have had a chance at a top school, nevertheless, the number 1 ranked school for what I want to study. With a 2.3 undergrad GPA (albeit a 3.9 grad gpa in a masters program) and average GRE scores, admission to a top school was a long shot. However, I got a call from a professor at the top school in the country for what I want and she told me candidly that my essay was what caught their attention. The book helped, but it is NOT to be followed to the tee, You still need to put your own thoughts and ideas into your essays. The book helped me in a few ways. First, it provided exercises to help brainstorm topics to write about. Second, and most important, I followed the advice of mention specific faculty members in my essays. DO THIS. When I talked to faculty members that liked my essay, they said that they liked how I mention specific faculty at their schools. In short, there were some things that I found to be great, but be choosy, as the author says, not everything in the book applies to all areas of study. Good luck. I just had a school buy me a plane ticket and hotel room to come visit for an interview. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/1694754-graduate-admissions-essays-fourth-edition-write-your-way-into-graduate](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/1694754-graduate-admissions-essays-fourth-edition-write-your-way-into-graduate) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-08-21*
