A newly revised edition of a perennial favorite, On Writing the College Application Essay by Harry Bauld—formerly an admissions officer at Brown University and assistant director of admissions at Columbia University—is an insider’s guide to writing a college application essay that will stand out from the pack. What does an admissions officer look for in a college application essay? You. It’s that simple. There’s no formula, no trick, no strategy, says Harry Bauld, a former Ivy League admissions officer. But with acceptance rates at all-time lows, just being yourself in an essay means understanding your readers and the unique form in which you are writing. In this fully revised and updated edition of the classic guide to writing the best essay of your life, Bauld reveals the big clichés (The Trip, The Jock, Miss America, Pet Death) and helps you discover ways to come alive on the page as a real person instead of applicant number 13,791. Harry Bauld，美国作家、教师、演说家，其对招生、大学咨询等方面有较为丰富的经验，曾在布朗大学、哥伦比亚大学等多所大学或高中工作，著有“On Writing the College Application Essay”一书。现在是纽约霍瑞斯曼高中的一名英语老师。 

Harry Bauld has been a writer, teacher, and speaker for thirty years. He has worked in admissions and college counseling at high schools and universities, including Brown and Columbia, and is currently an English teacher at Horace Mann School in New York. Acknowledgment

OK, so you’re not a A-plus student at HardAss Prep, captain of three sports team, third author on a published cancer research breakthrough, with 2300 SATs and a great grandfather who was the seventh president of First Choice University; you’re not the caboose in your class either. If you’re like most of the hundreds of thousands of applicants to selective colleges every year, you fall into that murky netherworld peopled by those whose credentials are neither easily accepted nor easily denied: the Gray Area.
Don’t panic. Everyone’s in the Gray Area somewhere. (Almost everyone. If the hot-shot profile above could be you, toss this book like a wedding ring bouquet back to your classmates in the Gray Area; as long as you don’t write an essay about the pleasures of sticking pins into small furry animals, you’re First-Choice bound.) In fact, things get a bit grayer if you’re not from one of the built-in Lobby Groups in the process: recruited athletes, development prospects (people who can spare a dozen million in pocket change to build a new gym), members of a historically underrepresented group, or children of alumni. All these applicants have special advocates for them in close contact with the admissions committee. Everybody else is Just Folks.
