Meet Steve Schwartz:

Steve's own journey to Columbia University in 2002 demonstrates the power of a well-crafted essay. Despite having a GPA and test scores below average, his compelling essay about lobbying government delegates at a United Nations conference in South Africa – a real experience, not Model UN – earned him admission. His letters of recommendation were written by delegates from government and non-profit organizations. This success led him to help over 1,000 students gain admission to their dream schools. He was even featured in Cal Newport's best-selling book, How to Be a High School Superstar.
