Ep103: Getting into the top 50 colleges

Dan Ulin, at the age of 15, dealt with the very same challenges your son or daughter faces today: trying to stand out, be heard, and get ahead in a noisy world. He was extremely fortunate; his parents found him a mentor, and through his guidance, Dan learned to communicate with precision and emotional resonance—a skill set that served him well throughout his academic and professional careers. Dan mentors elite college-bound teens just like yours to gain admission to the schools of their dreams and achieve lifelong success. At the core of the program, he empowers them to identify their unique on-paper and in-person “voices,” write and present with clarity and impact, and tap into a wellspring of self-confidence. These skills are absolutely essential when it comes to crafting phenomenal college application essays and succeeding in virtual and on-campus interviews. Over the course of Dan’s 30 years as an educator, communications professional, and marketing executive, he has worked with hundreds of ambitious teenagers; taught creative writing at the prestigious Andover Academy; co-taught multinational management at The Wharton School; lectured at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management; and developed English-language curriculum materials for the Japanese high school system with Panasonic and the Ministry of Education in Osaka. Dan has lived and worked in East and Southeast Asia, Europe, and the United States. He founded and ran his own highly successful marketing strategy firm and leveraged the key communication skills he first acquired as a teen in working with and for such organizations as Mercedes-Benz, Rolls-Royce, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Toyota, American Airlines, BMW, Wharton Executive Education, Airbus, State Farm, and The House of Blues.
