I'm Andrew, and I hold degrees from MIT and UCLA. I live in Hawaii with my wife and son, who is in 9th grade. On Schoolhouse, I teach sessions on the college application process, guided by the belief that there’s a “right-fit” college for every student—and that what you make of the experience matters far more than rankings or prestige. I’ve worked in high-tech for over 20 years. I spend as much time as I can in the ocean—bodyboarding, swimming, or just floating.
What you'll do
Learn the purpose and the must-dos of the personal statement
Learn and practice strategies for picking a prompt, brainstorming, drafting, and revising your writing
Understand the role of supplemental questions and strategies for organizing your questions and responses
Work alongside other students who are also preparing to apply to college
Schedule
✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY
Please do not miss more than one session over the four weeks, as that will negatively affect your learning and may also take up a spot from another learner who could have attended every session.
If you reach two unexcused absences, your tutor may remove you from this series.
Note from Schoolhouse: This series has sessions with required attendance. If you need to miss a required session, submit an absence using the "Submit Excused Absence" button on the series page. Multiple unexcused absences may lead to a suspension of your Schoolhouse account.
