From the viewpoint of a guy who’s used his secrets,

First off, I wanna start by saying that I purchased this program, but I purchased it A LONG TIME ago. The entire thing was a giant teleconference…at the end, there’s a question answer session, and I ask a question, and you can hear my question in the recording ;)

I will say that his advertisement is a bit misleading…he forgets to ask explain a couple of his strategies, but he’s basically a guy who’s finished the college admissions process and wants to reveal how he’s done it. The reason, he explains in his recordings, why he didn’t go to Harvard or Penn or Georgetown is because of location and atmosphere. He truly didn’t feel that he belonged at Harvard, and I can see his view on that issue.

He doesn’t advocate not being yourself; he simply expresses how you can better be yourself.

As far as “buying secrets” is concerned, I personally wouldn’t have labeled it “Admissions Secrets.” It’s more or less strategies instead. In addition, Air’n has a great moneyback guarantee on all of his products. If you don’t like it, he’ll refund it. I think of it like this: use the program, and if you learn something from it, promote the author by not asking for your money back.

All of the reviews at the bottom of his website are also legit. One of my quotes is one of his reviews.

If anyone has used his ACT/SAT/Scholarship Secrets stuff, this is of similar if not higher/better caliber.

I’m getting a certain air here that everyone wants to keep his $50 by saying that it probably doenst help much, but I don’t think any of you guys have used it!

If this means anything, I have almost 500 posts on CC, and I still used some of the things he said in there…

Now then, for specifics:
it’s been a while since I’ve listened to this thing…I listened to it at the beginning of the college app process and took notes on it; in order to respect his property, I won’t disclose specific information

How to avoid wasting thousands of dollars on a private counselor or admissions consultant…
^^I don’t recall him specifically talking about this one…rather, I think that he’s hinting that by using this program, you’ll save thousands of dollars…but I guess that was understood if you buy the program

How to virtually guarantee your acceptance at the college of your dreams…
^^If it’s too good to be true, it probably is; there’s no way anyone can guarantee anyone’s acceptance unless they’re making the decisions

How to get more money for college… (Winning scholarships and negotiating financial aid are largely based on how much the college WANTS YOU TO ATTEND— which is determined by your application…)
^^don’t remember that part, but w/e

How to quickly impress committee judges…
^^Air’n was a judge on a scholarship committe for a while, so he’s not speaking complete BS here; in addition, the entire teleseminar is about this…

How to overcome the competition and stay out of the reject pile…
^^Can anyone really “ovecome” the competition?

How to end the confusion and “guesswork” about how to create a winning application…
^^Once again, the entire thing is sort of based upon this idea…

How to maximize your strengths on your application and literally REVERSE your weaknesses (instead of just trying to “hide” them)…
^^I will admit that this one really was key…he did explain this one pretty well and how to take care of weaknesses; I would pay the $50 just for that piece of advice he gave

I’ve always thought that his advertisements are a bit misleading, but everything he says is still important.

It’s also important to remember that he’s human…

“Early Decision versus Early Action versus Regular Decision… I’ll show you my findings on how they affect your chances at getting in… (This WILL surprise you!)”
^^He didn’t remember to explain this until someone asked him a question about it

Anyway, if you guys want some more information, feel free to post here, and I’ll try to get back ASAP!

Also, it’s not very helpful if you’ve already sent everything in…seniors
