I graduated from the University of Chicago with a Bachelor of Arts in English and from Stanford University with a Masters of Arts in Communications.
I was an Alumni Interviewer and Admissions Reader for the University of Chicago, where I used the university's secret alphanumeric ranking system to help accept 8% of applicants.
I was an Admissions Reader for UC Berkeley's Management, Entrepreneurship, & Technology Program—a dual business and engineering program with a 2% acceptance rate.
