Are you wondering if it’s possible to create a Passion Project that actually fires you up while also capturing the attention of the decision-makers at your dream school? In this episode of Demystifying College Admissions, I’m interviewing two of my students who will be sharing how they created and scale their Passion Projects in 6 months with my guidance through the Ivy League Formula Program.

TUNE IN BELOW:

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN ABOUT IN THIS EPISODE:

  • Why these two students decided to work with me
  • How their work ethic changed through the program
  • What my students accomplished in six months
  • How a group environment helped my students succeed
  • How networking is one of the most important aspects of college admissions

 

NOTABLE QUOTES:

“You can start a business with whatever you have at your disposal.”

“I realized that it wasn’t just an average class, where you just go sit down and the teacher talks to you; it’s much more interactive.”

“Age doesn’t matter with what you want to do.”

“Networking is so important.”

“You want to do things that scare you.”

“To be honest, when I came into this program, I was expecting a bunch of kids who were super smart and amazing at everything; but then, when I came in, it was a group of people learning and growing together, all doing the same thing.”

“I think the group aspect is a huge part of the effectiveness of the program.”

“If you guys just want to get things done, more things done than you expected you would, just go with Julie.”

“You’ll find joy in making progress.”
