In today’s digital age, there’s no denying that social media has become an integral part of our lives. However, there’s just so much going on in the world of social media and I’ve discovered students having a hard time managing all that comes with social media as it relates to college admissions.
While there can be benefits to social media when it comes to college admissions, it can still be very tough. In our latest episode, I reveal 3 pros and cons of social media in the college admissions space, and I share how you can begin to manage your screen time, foster a positive online presence, and leverage social media to your advantage.
I’m also hosting a free live workshop this coming Wednesday that I highly recommend you register for. During this training, you’ll learn 3 high-level strategies you must implement to get accepted into your dream colleges, new trends that we’re seeing in college admissions, along with any policy changes that have recently happened. I can’t wait to support you! You can reserve your free seat at https://passionprep.com/live!

NOTABLE QUOTES:
“I find a lot of high school students are really uptight and anxious if they can’t get to where they want to be, but everybody else is. That is a really stressful place to be in as a teenager. You are still growing and you are still trying to identify who you are as a person.”
“I encourage all of my students to take some time to themselves, [even] 20 or 30 minutes a day. Read a self-help book or listen to a podcast, something that lifts you up; it is only about yourself and not other people.”
“The drawback to social media and college admissions right now is the online image.”
“I always like to use my role models as an inspiration, because sometimes we think that we can’t do certain things or we are limited by boundaries. So, I think Instagram really allows us to put ourselves out there and know that so much is possible.”
