Enjoy a range of talks from bestselling authors and thought leaders. This week, Irena Smith will discuss The Golden Ticket to College Admissions Is Not What You Think.
Irena taught literature and composition at UCLA and Stanford before transitioning to college admissions, college advising, and writing. Her recently published memoir, The Golden Ticket: A Life in College Admissions Essays is the winner of the Story Circle Network's Gilda Award, named in honor of comedian Gilda Radner to recognize honest, authentic writing that "makes us laugh even when we want to cry." It's been described by Forbes as “captivating and smart…a potential antidote to the fevered belief that being admitted to an elite college will spell the difference between a successful life vs. a doomed future.”
