Alan Gelb, Author and College Essay Coach:
A widely published writer of fiction and nonfiction, Alan Gelb first began to explore the college admissions essay when his own sons were going through the application process. As a marketing communications consultant for higher education, Alan had a long history of writing recruitment and development materials for top colleges and universities across the country, and so had a sense of what the schools were looking for. Putting that together with his understanding of the narrative form, he came up with a unique approach to the personal statement. As he continued to work with college applicants, Alan collected his theories in his book Conquering the College Admissions Essay in 10 Steps. Each year, Alan and his team work with students all over the world, helping them to uncover very special stories that admissions counselors remember. http://www.conquerthecollegeessay.com/
