Navigating high school admissions in New York City can be a daunting task, with over 900 programs to choose from, each with its own set of assessments, open houses, and ranking requirements. When Adrian Liang faced this challenge for his own kids, he decided to build a tool to help make sense of it all. The result is NYC SIFT, a website that thousands of families are now using to navigate the admissions process.

Today, Epicenter’s S. Mitra Kalita sits down with Adrian to learn more about how his frustration turned into a powerful tool for families across the city, how data can help make these tough decisions a bit easier, and why his hope is to make the process less stressful for everyone.
