We have some exciting news! Our Passion Project Bootcamp Next Level student, Isha, just got accepted into UPenn Early Decision, and in today’s episode, you’re going to hear exactly how she did it! Isha shares her GPA, SAT scores, extracurriculars, and the strategies from our program that she implemented to get accepted into her dream college. It’s important to note that she didn’t have straight A’s, and she didn’t submit her SAT scores, but by following her passion and our proven strategies, she was able to receive early acceptance into UPenn as an International Relations major!

I’m so proud of the growth Isha has shown and how she has matured into such a powerful and passionate individual. I hope you find her story informative and inspirational for your own college admissions journey!

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN ABOUT IN THIS EPISODE:

  • A bit about who Isha is and how her acceptance day unfolded!
  • Some of the struggles she was going through before joining the Passion Project Bootcamp Next Level program!
  • How the program helped Isha gain clarity and making the switch to the major that she really wanted to pursue!
  • What she feels really got UPenn to say “YES” to her application!

NOTABLE QUOTES:

“There were a lot of struggles, but I would say one thing that I think really helped me was getting a really early start on everything.”

“Literally just take a deep breath. Take a moment, take time for yourself and do what makes you happy. I think doing what makes you happy will eventually lead you to the right path.”

“It doesn’t matter what the end result is, but if you put in the hard work, no matter what happens you’ll be content with what you’ve done.”

“Not even just for [college] admission, I would say for life in general, finding what you’re passionate about is always good. You don’t want to be 45, realize you’re passionate about something, and it may be too late to pursue that.”
