The Anarchist's Guide to Successful Ivy League Admissions

Dear High Schooler thinking about elite colleges -
The recommendations in this book aren't for everyone. And probably won't work for everyone. And that's the point actually.

The Anarchists Guide will help a handful of candidates employ specific tactics and strategies to distinguish themselves positively among playing fields of tens of thousands of other elite college applicants. The goal of this Guide is to help people be recognized as absurdly unique, talented, and promising. This book is for the bright, the brave, and the bold (i.e., YOU).

We will leave the recommended test taking, grades, sports and extracurriculars to other books. You've already read them. The practical techniques in The Anarchists Guide to Successful Ivy League Admissions go far beyond what most other advisors are doing and recommending. Those books tell you how to make a hamburger, this book tells you how to create your special sauce that makes you the one every school will want.

If you are open-minded about pushing your proverbial boundaries beyond what you ever imagined you could be capable of, this book is for you. Fibonacci Lee has helped students get into not only their dream school but also other solid options did so by having distinguished themselves in any number of significant ways. Including:

• Developing genuine subject matter knowledge worthy of leading adults in their field;
• Teaching formal workshops and classes on their areas of subject matter knowledge;
• Giving major talks and presentations, including multiple TEDx Talks;
• Publishing articles and Op-Eds in respected newspapers, magazines, and online platforms;
• Exhibiting in solo and group shows at museums and galleries;
• Getting hired into highly competitive or custom-designed internships;
• Establishing and leading nonprofit entities that make a real impact;
• Joining editorial boards of respected publications; and
• Taking leadership roles and Board seats in established organizations and societies.

The actionable steps that are explained here are the same ones Fibonacci Lee has coached his student clients to take, with consistent and exceptional success over the last several years. As a former admissions reader for a top school, Lee has reviewed hundreds of applications over time and understand the difference between an ordinary and exceptional candidate.
