Post-affirmative action, Asian American families are more stressed than ever about college admissions

Parents who didn't grow up in the American system, and who may have moved to the U.S. in large part for their children's education, feel desperate and in-the-dark. Some shell out tens of thousands of dollars for consultants as early as junior high.

    Many people overestimate the need to start at a good school. You can go to a lower school for a year or two then transfer to a better school. I started at a very basic college, then transferred to a state college, then transferred to one of the top schools in the country.

    Getting into the top schools for Freshman year can be pretty hard.

    The end matters, not the beginning.
