College Admissions Experience
I served over a decade in selective college admissions. It baffles me how many myths, misconceptions, and rumors pervade high school communities about what makes a competitive college candidate. Having served in the trenches and read hundreds of applications, I learned what actually matters. I also made some great buddies. My colleagues in admission keep me up-to-date on the ever-changing industry of college admissions. Here's my background...
