Introduction: Mark interviews Jin Chow – Preview Part 3 :

• Jin explains why they do not allow parents to join their sessions
• Jin answers the objection, aren’t your statistics about college admissions inflated because you attract a pool of very strong applicants so you have selection bias built into your applicant pool
• Jin answers the objection, what would you say to the person who says, kids are already stressed out, aren’t you already adding more stress to students lives
• Jin talks about Polygence is more than a place for students to crank out papers where they get published
• I share in-depth, my own evolution from being Polygence skeptical to embracing and supporting Polygence for the student who really wants to do a research project
• Jin explains when Polygence works best
• Jin goes on the hotseat

Here is the “Pay to Play” article Jin wrote that I read at the end of the interview:
