How I got into Stanford!

What does it really take to get into Stanford?

For Hridaan Sharma, it wasn’t just grades or test scores—it was crafting a story that combined passion with purpose. With Athena’s guidance, he turned his love for computer science, history, and filmmaking into Vision to Vision—a project that set up eye-care camps, a documentary, and even a research paper that stood out to Stanford.

From two-hour whiteboard brainstorming sessions to balancing 20+ college applications with school exams, Hridaan’s journey shows how clarity, creativity, and mentorship can turn a dream school into reality.

If you’re aiming for Stanford—or any top global university—and wondering how to bring your unique story to life, this is your video.
