About Les
Hey! My name is Les Levy Jr. I earned a Bachelor’s degree with Honors Distinction from Stanford University, where I also served as an Admissions Associate. My greatest learning from this experience is the importance of viewing the college application process as a simple pie chart with three key slices: academic life, involvement in or with a community, and personal story. Each of these slices is viewed equally for the top 20 schools, meaning one’s personal statement holds the same weight as their high school transcript in the decision-making process.
