About the Author

Carl Shan, Amit Pasupathy, Allison Tam, Jeffrey Chan

This book was created by four friends. Two in high school, one in college and one recent grad. Despite our age differences, all four of us experienced a lack of transparent knowledge about what going to college truly be like.

That's why we made this book.
