This week's guest is Danny Tejada!

Danny Tejada is a 13-year expert in college counseling. He grew up in New York City, where he published his first book called "Different Families, Still Brothers," exchanging life stories with his mentee. At the beginning of his career, he started in community-based organizations that focused on assisting low-income students with the college application process.

Upon entering the field, Danny challenged himself to learn as much as he could about the college application process. He joined college counseling associations and attended trainings to pick the minds of more experienced counselors. Reading the latest college admissions news/books to engage people online and personally to discuss college admissions policies, became essential to his continuous learning. In 2018, Danny started working with mostly middle-income families at a charter school in Brooklyn, New York. His work as a contractor with Brooklyn Botanic Garden's Apprentice Program consisted of middle and upper-income students, which led to founding We Go To College, LLC. In 2019, Danny moved to St. Louis for a director position at a private high school in the college counseling office. Throughout his career, he shared admissions strategies and policies with other college counselors on listservs, online platforms, and at conferences.He also created TestOptional.com to inform counselors, students, and families about the realities of testing and why test-optional schools are an excellent choice for many students.

A graduate of George Westinghouse High School and Skidmore College, Danny also completed the College Advising Program at Teachers College, Columbia University. College Board named him the first college counselor to be called a "Professional Fellow" for his work.
