Is summer winding down and you're feeling the back-to-school jitters? Wondering how to navigate college admissions, whether you're a freshman just starting out or a senior facing big deadlines? We’ve got you covered! Today, we're diving into essential August checklists for every high schooler.

Since it's already August, this episode is perfectly timed to give you a clear roadmap of what you should be working on as you prepare for the new academic year. We've divided the content into two key categories: a tailored checklist for 9th through 11th graders and a completely different game plan for seniors.

If you enjoy this format, keep tuning in! We just might be releasing monthly checklist episodes to keep you on track throughout the year. And of course, if you need more individualized guidance with your college admissions journey, we're always here to help you find the right program within Passion Prep. Ready for close, personalized support? That option is available for August, and you can reach out to our Support Team at [email protected], and we’ll be back with a brand-new podcast episode next week, so don't miss it. 

Before we dive into this checklist episode, I wanted to let you know that we are hosting a Free Live Training this Wednesday (August 6th). You can register now at www.passionprep.com/live and I'll walk you through 5 major mistakes that students are making that could decrease their chances of getting accepted, what's changing with the Ivy League and Top-tier college admissions landscape, and the exact 3-step framework my students used to get into Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Columbia, UCLA, NYU, and many more.
