Today I’m sharing with you a short interview I did with one of my Class of 2021 students, Alexcis, who recently got accepted into UPenn, Dartmouth, Columbia, Brown, and Cornell! Not to mention, Alexcis also received a merit scholarship offer at USC, and in this episode, she reveals how she was able to do this, plus what she believes was the secret to her success.
This interview really goes to show how only having good grades and perfect SAT/ACT scores won’t cut it anymore. So how do you standout, while having a feeling of purpose and passion? It’s by working on a few of the right things, and not just by doing more things (and overwhelming yourself in the process).

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN ABOUT IN THIS EPISODE:

- Some of the considerations that she and her family made before making an investment into our program
NOTABLE QUOTES:
“Having good grades, SAT and ACT scores aren’t going to cut it. They’re not enough, and by themselves, they’re not going to give you a standout factor.”
“I was so relieved that I finally had all my options on the table. I just had to pick out a college for me, instead of just stressing about where I get accepted to.”
“Julie seemed very genuine. She was someone who was having individual contact with students, and other college programs where with a big company.”
“`{`With Julie’s program`}` there’s a lot of encouragement to work on your project and do the best that you can do to put together your standout factor. We just realized that it was going to be a good investment overall.”
