In this episode, I’m excited to share real-life case studies from our students who gained acceptance into some of the most prestigious and competitive colleges: Harvard, Columbia, and UC Berkeley. By highlighting these case studies, you’ll gain valuable insights into the strategies and approaches our students used to successfully get into their dream schools through our program, the Accepted Club.
The recording you’ll hear is from a recent live workshop where I discussed critical factors like GPA, SAT scores, extracurriculars, passion projects, research positions, and more. These are the essential elements that played a key role in our students’ acceptance into top universities. Whether you’re aiming for Ivy League schools or other highly selective institutions, I hope these case studies offer you both inspiration and actionable takeaways!

NOTABLE QUOTES:
“Columbia University will ask you about your academic interests, so you need to know what they are and we need to build evidence around that very quickly.”
“If UPenn cannot identify your SPV, what are your chances of getting in knowing that their acceptance rate is [about] 5 percent?”
“The technical things are of course something that we will provide you with, but it’s the mindset…those kinds of things are also really helpful in this process.”
“Once you have a good relationship and build a good network with your guidance counsellor, that person will write you the best recommendation letter, and that’s instantly going to help you stand out.”
“That’s when we know passion and academic interest strategy really, truly works. So don’t give up, even if you have two B’s and one C.”
