RAM's Edge: From a 2.8 GPA to the Ivy League (Graduate School Edition) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

I had a 2.8 GPA and was ranked 372nd in a class of 376, yet I was still accepted at an Ivy League university. Impossible? Think again. RAM's Edge is the only resource of its kind; a first-hand account of how you can overcome bad grades, low test scores and other areas of application adversity. The guide contains the successful strategies I used when applying to Ivy League universities, the lessons I learned in the process and the branding techniques that will make you a more competitive applicant, despite any weaknesses you may have. At the core of RAM’s Edge is the “LIP” strategy: Leadership-Impact-Potential. In the guide I explain how to utilize the LIP approach to address areas of weakness and frame your strengths. RAM’s Edge also addresses common admissions challenges, such as being an older/younger applicant, what to do if you’re changing careers and how to approach admissions an overrepresented demographic, such as a being white or Asian male. Whether you’re applying to Harvard Business School or your local state university, RAM’s Edge has the strategies you need to strengthen your application and make you a stronger candidate.
