Earning Admission: Real Strategies for Getting into Highly Selective Colleges
There is a crisis that Korean families face each fall: how to get their child into highly selective colleges. In 2015, the Ivy League received almost 250,000 applications for 14,000 spots, while one of the top public universities, UCLA, received over 92,000 applications for 5,800 spots in its freshman class. To make matters worse, many Korean families do not know how to efficiently and effectively position their children for success in applying to American colleges.
