My Journey to Stanford Harper Tang

Harper Tang is currently a student at Stanford University. She was also admitted into Yale University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, The University of Pennsylvania Wharton, and UC Berkeley's Management, Entrepreneurship, and Technology program.

In My Journey to Stanford, Harper Tang shares her personal journey towards America's most elite universities: how she transformed from being the shyest student in her class to being a well-known leader, how she got involved in her high school and community, and how her small accomplishments and experiences built up into much larger ones over time. In addition to sharing her personal story, Harper Tang shares her Common Application essay and Stanford, Yale, and MIT supplemental essays, and demonstrates how she listed and described her extracurricular activities and awards.

My Journey to Stanford also offers insights into questions that underpin the college admissions process: How can high school students strive to be admitted into elite universities while growing personally? What, really, makes for a good essay and recommendation letter? How can high school students build leadership and initiative while delving into their interests?

My Journey to Stanford, ultimately, is both an expansive and in-depth look into the college admissions process. It is a valuable resource for anyone dreaming of attending an elite university, from students just starting to think about college admissions to students just about to apply.
