    <body><![CDATA[I recently read and implemented the advice given in this book for my applications to law school.  Montauk is clear, thorough and precise.

    <body><![CDATA[Immeasurably helpful.  For some reason, over a dozen higher-ups in admissions offices went on the record for Montauk's book.
