Successful College Application Strategies for Truly Exceptional Individuals: or, How to Make Ivy League and Elite Colleges Compete for YOU
Dear High Schooler think about elite colleges -
The recommendations in this book aren't for everyone. And probably won't work for everyone. And that's the point actually. This book is intended to help a handful of candidates employ specific tactics and strategies to distinguish themselves positively among playing fields of tens of thousands of other elite college applicants. The goal of this guidebook is to help individuals be recognized as absurdly unique, talented, and promising. This book is for the bright, the brave, and the bold (i.e., YOU). We will leave the recommended test taking, grades, sports, and extracurriculars to the other books. You've already read them. The practical techniques inside go far beyond what most other advisors are doing and recommending. Those books tell you how to make a hamburger, this book shows you in detail how to create your special sauce that makes you the one every school will want. If you are open-minded about pushing your proverbial boundaries beyond what you ever imagined you could be capable of, this book is for you. Daniel Farber Huang has helped courageous students get accepted into not only their dream schools but also other solid options by having students distinguish themselves in any number of significant ways, including: - Developing genuine subject matter knowledge worthy of leading adults in their field;
- Teaching formal workshops and classes in their areas of subject matter knowledge;
- Giving major talks and presentations including multiple TEDx Talks;
- Publishing articles and Op-Eds in respected newspapers, magazines, and online platforms;
- Exhibiting in solo and group shows at museums and galleries;
- Getting hired into highly competitive or custom-designed internships;
- Establishing and leading nonprofit entities that make a real impact;
- Joining editorial boards of respected publications; and
- Taking leadership roles and board positions in established organizations. Let's get started!
