The Unspoken Reality Behind the Harvard Gates | Alex Chang | TEDxSHSID

【Updated】 New TEDx video on college admissions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sk3_IpVu96o

Back in high school, Alex was not exactly "Ivy League material." He did not even finish top 5 in his public high school in New York, did not get a near-perfect SAT score, did not win national honors in math, was not a starter on his lacrosse team, and did not have rich and famous parents to get him into places. Therefore, his story of being accepted and completing his education at Harvard College and Harvard Graduate School of Education as an "ordinary student" served as the prime model for high school students who want to reach their dream schools. However, in addition to sharing his secrets to Ivy League admission, Alex feels the social responsibility to inform—and warn—students about the life behind those Ivy League gates. Things may not always be as pretty as they seem.
