Author
Mike Moyer is the creator of College Peas and author of the book How to Make Colleges Want You: Insider Secrets to Tipping the Admissions Odds in Your Favor. He was also the co-founder of Cappex.com- a web site that helps students find the right college.
Mike was a terrible student who managed to get accepted to a number of competitive colleges. He chose to attend the University of Kansas where he continued to be a terrible student but earned a BA in Communication. However, applying the same strategies that got him into college, Mike was accepted at competitive graduate schools. He chose to attend Northwestern University where he earned an MS in Integrated Marketing Communication and later attended the University of Chicago where he earned an MBA. At the time, Mike had no idea why colleges accepted him. He later learned that, among other things, it had something to do with pigeons.
Now, with the benefit of experience and hindsight, Mike has recreated the strategies that he used to get into college and created College Peas for your enjoyment and inspiration (hopefully).
Mike lives north of Chicago, Illinois with his wife and his two kids who will no doubt be accepted to competitive colleges whether they like it or not.
