Early life and education

Manger-Weil attended Dartmouth College in the 1970s and graduated with a BA in philosophy in 1980.[1] He began tutoring students for the SATs as an undergraduate at Dartmouth.[6] He later became an alumni interviewer and enrollment director for his alma mater.[2][4] At one point, Manger-Weil was a street musician in New York City.[5]

The College Wizard

After having worked closely with the SAT format for 30 years, Manger-Weil founded the College Wizard in 2010.[2] He tutors clients one-on-one often through Skype from his home base in New York City.[2] He claims to have a system of "7 cardinal rules" that can ensure a perfect score of 2400 on the SAT. He also guarantees noticeable increases in test scores among his clients.[1] His course can take as little as five hours,[6] but can go on longer, until the client is satisfied with their SAT scores.[1] Manger-Weil charges a flat fee for his services, and also provides advice and marketing for gaining entry into the best colleges.[1]

Other entrepreneurial ventures

Manger-Weil has engaged in several other entrepreneurial ventures and is heavily involved in the "solopreneur" movement.[2][5] In 2003, he started a consulting firm geared toward helping people start their own businesses.[5] He recently teamed up with fellow solopreneur Bruce Judson in a consulting firm called Your Personal Action Plan, aimed at solo businesspeople on the internet.[2][4]

In the book Get Rich Click!, Marc Ostrofsky details how Manger-Weil helped earn a second home through effective advertising with Google Ads for his online businesses.[5]

gollark: It does not seem like a very good or useful description of anything.
gollark: Maybe they're just bad at describing universal constants.
gollark: That seems like one of those profound-sounding things which doesn't really mean anything actionable.
