Using the same process he uses with his clients, Ma helps readers maximize their high school years by identifying their passion, going deep, and gaining the kinds of experiences that make a winning college application. He then guides them through creating that application step by step. Featuring interviews with admissions officers from top U.S. schools, you'll learn what makes an application stand out, what top schools are looking for, and most importantly, how your child can prepare for the future, achieve their dreams, and live the lives they want to live." -- Provided by publisher.
