First, the basics. My name is Jason Shah, the chief exec of INeedAPencil.com and the leader of the INeedAPencil.com team. I am a student entrepreneur, originally from Edison, New Jersey who has lived in Central Florida for the past three years. I'll be moving to Cambridge, MA in September to study economics and political science at Harvard College. During my time in high school, I tutored extensively for the SAT and assisted peers with college applications. This led me to INeedAPencil.com, an online provider of SAT preparation. I am here to share my experiences to improve your chances in the increasingly competitive field of high school students seeking college admissions and scholarship awards.
