Three Peaks: How a Harvard Graduate Achieved Success in High School. College and Career

What went wrong? Why do so many promising students who worked diligently throughout high school got admitted to prestigious universities and studied at top colleges such as Harvard Dartmouth Duke and Wellesley find themselves without meaningful job prospects or other desirable future plans upon graduation? Through a collection of candid question-and-answer passages a Harvard honors graduate shares how he avoided such misfortune. By relating his first-hand experiences that were marked by trial and error strategy and determination Paul J. Kim pinpoints how he: 1. Gained admission to several Ivy League and top-tier universities while attending the highly selective Stuyvesant High School in New York City; 2. Managed his undergraduate years at Harvard University to prepare for the future; and 3. Developed a rewarding professional career that spanned the law international management consulting Wall Street finance and Corporate America. The Author reminds us of the often-overlooked fact that attending a competitive college is meaningless unless a person transforms that precious opportunity into a solid foundation for one?s future. His numerous personal anecdotes and insights will help students whether college-bound or in college to negotiate effectively the difficult challenges that confront them as they travel the path from high school to college and beyond.
