MAINS '10 C HOSEN FOR NATIONAL P UBLICATION

tudents and parents nationwide know that a critical component of a college application is the essay. A successful college essay can tip the scales in a student’s favor by conveying his or her ability in written expression and the student’s distinct character and personality. The essay Paul Mains ’10 wrote while he was a Senior at Doane Stuart was selected as one of just 8 new additions to the latest edition of Fiske’s Real College Essays That Worked. And, in Paul’s case, it certainly helped in securing him admission to Yale, Haverford, Kenyon, Middlebury, Vassar, Williams, and Carleton College in Minnesota, where he is now entering his sophomore year. The Fiske guide is the #1 best-selling book on writing college essays. College counselors across the country were asked to submit noteworthy entries for consideration. Mains’ essay is a witty and introspective narrative documenting his experiences as a cashier at CVS. Director of College Counseling Kathleen Bracken commented, “Paul’s essay immediately evidenced the qualities of a stellar piece of writing, as so many of our seniors’ efforts do.” Visit DSnews.org to read Paul’s essay in its entirety!

Boies, Schiller & Flexner, LLP, took on the case on a pro bono bases, as a gift to the School, and has aggressively defended our position in court, to what would have otherwise amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees.
