Recent Success
Thank you very much for your help throughout this long and arduous process. I submitted my last three applications this week. In sum, I applied to G-town, GW, Johns Hopkins, Columbia, and NYU. I guess all I can do now is wait it out and hope for the best. Nevertheless, I am extremely satisfied with the final product. I like to consider myself an extremely humble person and even I think that at the very least, my packets will get a second look from the various admissions committees. Again, thank you very much! -Kyle (This student used our Essay Review service)

Essays are important. It is in your essays that you are able to explain yourself. All the time you spent thinking about why you want to attend your target college and why you feel it is the right fit will pay off in the essays.
Manhattan Review's admissions consulting team can offer you expert advice on essays and the application process.
We recommend the following method of tackling your essay:
Match yourself to the school.
Determine what the question is asking.
Consider how to answer the question: Brainstorm.
Organize. Select the aspects of yourself to emphasize and back them up with examples / stories / anecdotes from your experience. Put this information into an outline format that you find comfortable.
Write the essay, paying attention to format.
Make revisions.
Have someone read it over.
The guidelines around which we suggest engaging in the essay writing process are the following:
Convince your reader
Distinguish yourself
Demonstrate sincerity
Write in a fashion that keeps the reader's attention
To do this we suggest the following:
(1) Select different and unique, but honest experiences. You may want to expand upon an experience to make it seem more unique. Try to select those experiences that make you a unique candidate.
(2) Convey your experience honestly. The college admissions committee will notice the difference between extreme embellishment and sincerity and depth.
(3) It is in your writing that you have the opportunity to demonstrate your personality. One important way of doing this is through your style. Within your essays you want to continue to keep the reader's attention. Try to use the 1st person singular, use "I" and avoid "we". Avoid using the passive voice as well as 'to be' verbs.
He helped us relate new vocabulary words with words we use everyday. I learned some excellent SAT tips and new vocab. -Shaniqua (This student took our SAT preparation course.)
