Buffalo, NY – Listener-Commentator Keith Frome is a respected Buffalo area educator. He's written a book titled "How's My Kid Doing" that answers questions from parents about their child's education. From time to time, we're sharing excerpts from the book in our commentary segment. One parent writes, "What does my child need to do to get into a really good university? And how early should we start preparing?" Click the audio player above to hear Keith Frome's response.

Frome is the chief academic officer of College Summit and is the former headmaster of the Elmwood Franklin School.
