Speaker of the Day: Alex Chang

“ "What do colleges want from you?" Work? ”

About Alex:

Since beating the SAT and Harvard’s college admissions process, Alex has been on a quest to mentor high school students and help them become successful—often times more successful than he ever will. In his senior year of college, he started his company Ivy-Way as a “bizarre life experience.” At that time, he thought Ivy-Way could either be a successful business or a disastrous idea that he could look back and make fun of it years later. Luckily, it was the former: a few years and thousands of students later, Alex abandoned his job as the Head Teaching Fellow at Harvard and his boring dream of working in tech or finance to move to Shanghai and devote his full attention in education. When Alex is not working, Alex writes apps, practices photography, and wonders when he’ll get back to dancing hip-hop again.

In our TEDx event, he will be discussing: "What do colleges want from you?" Work?
