About

Kamala Appel wrote The Keys To The CASTLE (College Admissions Secrets and Tips to Look Exceptional) to help odd balls like her write about their unique story in a way that helps them get in to the right college for them. Her feedback is based on her experiences as an undergrad and diversity recruiter at Yale University; and as a grad student and teaching assistant who reported directly to the Associate Dean at USC’s School of Cinematic Arts (formerly CNTV).

She has been a professional writer for online and print publications that required tight deadlines and stringent specifications. She has never missed a deadline and that is due to mastering strategies to manage the stress that writers can face when they try to get ideas in their head out in the world for others to read and absorb. She launched this site to help others manage what can be a stressful writing experience for teens and adults going back to school. And not only can you learn how to manage the stress but you can get pointers and insight that will help you achieve your objectives of getting and fitting in- yes it is possible.

She went from public high school to getting in everywhere she applied and you can too.
