Interested in America's Top Colleges? Then You Have To Be INTERESTING

Dustin started the 11th grade as a straight-B student with no tutors, counselors, or college-educated parents to help him get into college. Yet after a bit of creative thinking, studying, and submitting applications on his own, he heard back from virtually all the America’s top educational institutions—including 7 Ivy League schools, the Regents' and Chancellor's Scholarships at UC Berkeley and UCLA, and over six figures in outside scholarships.

Part biography and part how-to guide, YOU HAVE TO BE INTERESTING is the philosophy behind the tips, tricks, and strategies an ordinary teenager used to break into America’s elite universities. After enrolling at Yale and graduating this past year, Dustin realized what separated the 5% from the 95% who are rejected each year—and it was never simply test scores or GPAs.

In ten chapters, this ebook offers practical and unfiltered advice on topics such as writing unique essays, picking extracurricular activities, understanding holistic review, and calculating GPA/class rank percentiles. Leaning on his personal experiences as both an admit and an educator, Dustin brings aspiring applicants inside the decision-making of someone who’s been through it all.
