About the class

College admissions can be a mystery at first. With so many applicants seeking advice about different colleges, the landscape is full of contradictory, misleading, and sometimes plain bad advice. As admissions officers are fond of saying, many students got in despite the advice they followed, not because of it.

That’s why it’s so helpful to get insight directly from admissions officers themselves. In this live, interactive session, Daniel Chung–a former Stanford/Rice/Swarthmore undergraduate admissions officer and former high school college counselor–will break down common myths about admissions and provide actionable guidance for your applications. Bring your admissions questions and be ready to discuss the advice you’re skeptical about as Daniel uses his 15 years of admissions and counseling experience to cut through the noise.
