What motivated you to get in to the sphere of college admissions and write a book about it? Was it based on personal experiences?

It was personal experience. I was one of those kids who everyone thought would get in everywhere. Highest grades in my class, 5's on ten AP exams, founder of multiple clubs, ahead two grades in math, varsity athlete, etc. However, I got rejected from almost everywhere I applied!

I became obsessed with what had gone wrong. Slowly, over decades, I cracked the code. Today, my students have a very different experience from my own!

Thanks for the question!
