Impossible?
Think again.
RAM's Edge is the only resource of its kind; a first-hand account of how you can overcome bad grades, low test scores and other areas of application adversity.
The guide contains the successful strategies I used when applying to Ivy League universities, the lessons I learned in the process and the branding techniques that will make you a more competitive applicant, despite any weaknesses you may have.

RAM’s Edge also addresses common admissions challenges, such as being an older/younger applicant, what to do if you’re changing careers and how to approach admissions an overrepresented demographic, such as a being white or Asian male.
