Crusade is a refreshingly new take on the College Application Personal Essay, Billy Lombardo provides a balance of broad guidance and nitty-gritty tips to help young writers craft meaningful essays in response to what can feel like an impersonal process.Whether you’ve got a support team of dozens behind you, or you’re going at it completely on your own, this book will get you through every step of the process.
