Today on the podcast, I’m coaching my Passion Project Bootcamp student Lina, someone who plays such a big leadership role inside of our peer-led Facebook community for the Passion Project Bootcamp.
I’ll be coaching her on college lists, and specifically how to create a college list that’s both realistic and balanced. If you’re aiming for acceptance into Ivy League & top-tier colleges, you’re going to want to have what I call a “safety pick” and a “possible pick”, and I explain why this strategy is ESSENTIAL in this episode.
In addition, I also reveal how many colleges she should apply to, to maximize her chances of getting accepted (and this strategy applies to you too)! I hope you can apply the information I share in this episode to your journey as well!
If you didn’t get a chance to attend my free training recently, make sure that you do because as I really do want you to have the right information as you navigate the college admissions process. I talk about the 4 mistakes that you should avoid (and a lot more) inside this free training. You can register for the free training here or go to https://passionprep.com/masterclass.

NOTABLE QUOTES:
“If you just apply to all the schools that seem really popular and prestigious, then even if you get accepted you might find that it’s not a good fit.”
“You’re not going to college to pursue your personal interests. You’re going to college to study and to use that knowledge for your career.”
“When you first create a college list, you’ll have 50 to 60, or even 100 `{`schools`}`, and then it’s your goal to narrow it down by 10 to 15.”
“Internship leads to a full-time job one day, so if you don’t get an internship as a college student it’s really hard to get a job after.”
