I believe that a student's pursuit of higher education is about academic and personal discovery. Joyce Wong, my co-author, and I have degrees from UC Berkeley and Wharton at University of Pennsylvania along with experience as a former Stanford Admissions Reader and High School English teacher (and so much more). Our collaboration accounts for over 40 years of college planning expertise. We wrote this guide to positively impact as many students and parents as possible. Our hope is that students will gain invaluable experiences through the selection, application and completion of one or more summer programs. We want to evoke curiosity, create the most academically, socially and contextually prepared college graduates, such that countless individuals can look back and say that one summer truly made all the difference.
