Do you have perfect test scores, yet you’re still worrying about not getting accepted into your dream college (given the fierce competition?)
Today’s guest is Anthony, a current student of The Passion Project Bootcamp, and in this episode, he discusses his concerns about getting rejected – even though he has a strong GPA and SAT/ACT scores.
This is something that shows up for a lot of high school students, and I coach Anthony on how to make perspective shifts that will serve him in a positive way and what he can do right now to create a standout factor to strengthen his college application. You’ll also hear how he landed a research position, created a passion project and many more amazing things as a student in the Passion Project Bootcamp.
I hope this gives you a better idea of what goes on inside one of our paid programs here at Julie Kim Consulting. Again, it felt incredible to have another coaching call here where a student can share the insights, wins, and biggest takeaways!
As I mentioned in the last episode, The Passion Project Bootcamp is open for enrollment from Monday, October 12th, 2020 to Thursday, October 15th, 2020 at 11:55 pm PST! Enrollment only happens twice a year, and we’re offering $500 off the price with the Code “OCT2020”!

NOTABLE QUOTES:
“We tend to overcomplicate the application process, and when you think that way you’re going further and further away from who you truly are.”
“Don’t wait around for funding for your events. Just go for it. There are things that you can do for free, and sometimes you don’t need the money.”
“When you reach out to research physicians, just have fun with it. Hop on calls with professors and see what they suggest.”
“It’s really easy to get stressed out, but what you really have to learn to do is not compare yourself to others. Your situation is unique, and what you do really works.”
