#1 Mistake of Stanford #ENGR145<\/a> Summer Students…<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The largest mistake is coming to summer school at Stanford and hoping to get recommendation letters.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Maybe you were coached by a parent that didn’t go to college in America. Maybe you were mentored to get recommendation letters by a parent that doesn’t know what the current admissions climate is.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Pining for a recommendation letter won’t help. If you want to get into Stanford, listen closely…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
-1- You’re in THE class for ENTREPRENEURSHIP.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Stanford admissions officers are looking for high school students with entrepreneur ability and promise. Ace ENGR 145 to increase your probability for admission.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
-2- How do I ace ENGR 145?!<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
ENGR145’s Anchor Concepts: “Lemonade and ‘Gua Gua Guacamole'”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
They move you to the right on the entrepreneur bell curve <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
-3- You’re going to have to charm a mentor you don’t know to mentor you.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
-4- I’d also set the goal to start and sell a company inside of ENGR 145<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I’d google:<\/div>\n
Ga Ga Guaranteed Exits<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There’s 13 entrepreneur recipes I branded under Gua Gua Guacamole — executing 2-5 recipes will significantly help your effort to get into a school that passively and actively seeks out students that are entrepreneurs.<\/div>\n
