I’m thrilled to introduce you to Tara, one of our outstanding Passion Prep students, as she shares her inspiring journey through the college admissions process. In this episode, Tara opens up about the overwhelming stress she initially felt, trying to juggle “all the things” to stand out. But as she soon discovered, it’s not about the sheer quantity of activities or test scores – it’s about quality, passion, and intellectual curiosity that truly make a difference.
Listen in as Tara reveals how shifting her mindset and adopting the strategies we teach here at Passion Prep led to incredible wins, including landing a prestigious research position at Johns Hopkins. Her story is not only motivational but also packed with valuable insights for anyone navigating their own college admissions journey.

NOTABLE QUOTES:
“I had a really big mindset change joining the program. I went from being this high school student who was going to do everything and just go for it. When I joined the program, I think the biggest thing was your coaches helped me be a lot more confident in myself.”
“I think the biggest thing is they provide me with this barrier to comfort me and reassure me, which I think is really helpful for students like me who just freak out over the littlest things.”
“Don’t overthink it, because everybody’s path is different. Look at all these kids getting into great schools. Their path may be similar, but they are all different in a way.”
“People, especially high school students, have struggles with going after what they want because they are scared of rejection, but that is the test.”
