Editorial Reviews

About Authors Gen and Kelly Tanabe

"As admission officers look for more subtle ways to make fine distinctions among so many qualified applicants, the personal statement, or college essay assumes growing importance. This book can help students gain the necessary edge that will make their applications stand out. Gen and Kelly Tanabe are nationally recognized experts in every facet of the college application process. They have written several books on the topic and blend humor, organization and specific real life examples with a highly readable style to assure your success."
--David Miller, Director of College Counseling, Stevenson School

"I would like to extend my greatest appreciation to your "Accepted" publication. I recently applied to Cornell University. I read your book from cover to back, wrote an essay about "Snorkeling in Okinawa" (which most people criticized), and got ACCEPTED to Cornell. Thank you very much for your help, and I'll be sure to refer this book to anyone applying to college."
--Jason Clemmey

"If you're struggling with your essays, the Tanabes offer some encouragement."
--College Bound Magazine
