I recently skimmed through a recent Ethan Sawyer aka College Essay Guy webinar and picked up a fun exercise from Rick Clark of GA Tech. If kids think about some of the brands they most like – what they wear, buy – go look at where the CEO or CFO of those top schools are from – you will very quickly find schools that you have never heard of. Look at leaders in your city government, athletes – if you stopped to look a bit beyond or ask questions you will be surprised.
