    Luck plays a significant role in life. For graduate school, I applied to two schools: Stanford and Brown. I got both and went to Stanford (A.M., 1981). I don’t recommend my approach.

    Awesome! Here's how my sister was the only one in her school to be accepted to Stanford...We're Asian btw😊......So besides the given top notch ap/sat/gpa/rank/extracurriculars/volunteer, here's what we think was the determining factors:
    She had a close Stanford ALUMNI MENTOR whom she collaborated on a project that also involved a Stanford PROFESSOR
    That professor vouched for her by writting a LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION
    She took pre-college courses at Stanford
    She was the creator and founder of a couple NON-profit online platforms
    Scholarships/grants and family high income would be able to cover her tuition and more
    AND she made sure early on that Stanford was definately the right school for her

    Hello Debbie. My name is Victor and I am applying to colleges right now. I am thinking of doing an online business in Psychology because I am planning to major in Psychology. I also think I want to sell meditation stuffs like relaxation music, etc. Could you give me advices on how to start an online business? I am talking like how you would start an online business for a beginner, like me?
