On today’s podcast episode, I am coaching one of my Passion Project Bootcamp students, Maya. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at how I coach my student through me taking her through the process of picking the right extracurriculars.

So often students spend a lot of time on things that aren’t helpful or won’t make a big difference in their college application. Your time is valuable, and I want to make sure that you’re focusing on the right things and making the best use of your time, each and every day.

Why does college cost so much? What really goes on in financial aid offices in this country, and will going to college pay off in the end? These are all big questions we’ve explored before on this podcast, and in today’s episode, I’m speaking with an expert guest who has literally written the book on this important subject.

Ron Lieber is the author of The Price You Pay for College: An Entirely New Road Map for the Biggest Financial Decision Your Family Will Ever Make, and what he shares today will give you a very different perspective on all things money, as it relates to the college admissions process.

As you’ve heard me talking about in recent episodes, the Ivy League Formula Program is our intensive 6-month college consulting program, and it’s opening for enrollment very soon. Do keep in mind! We are only accepting 30 students this round, and it will only be open once or twice this year. To be notified when The Ivy League Formula Program opens up, you can put yourself on the waitlist at http://juliekimconsulting.com/waitlist, and Passion Project Bootcamp members will be given priority for the first spots that are available.

To learn the strategies that help our students get accepted into amazing colleges using their Passion Projects, check out our free training at https://juliekimconsulting.com/masterclass.

As always, if you have questions please reach out to our support team at [email protected].

I hope you find this episode informative and helpful as you explore the financial aspects of college. Remember, ultimately is it you that is responsible for the outcome you will achieve, and no one else. This is why I highly recommend picking up a copy of Ron’s book because it will be one of the best investments you (or your parents) will ever make as you embark on this journey.

Thanks for listening and see you next week with a brand new episode!

Are you wondering if you should be participating in competitions or how many awards you should have when applying to colleges? (Or do you even NEED to get awards?!?!)

These are questions I get a lot, so today on the podcast we’re going to talk about how college admissions officers view competitions and awards. I’ll be coaching my Passion Project Bootcamp student Simi, who is an amazing student (and person!), and I’m sure you’ll be able to tell this by the way she speaks and carries herself in sharing all about her Passion Project.

Just like Simi has, you can also create a Passion Project and figure out how to spend your time wisely during the college admissions process.

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!

In today’s coaching session with my Passion Project Bootcamp student Patricia, I’ll be answering a question that I get often. With the policy changes due to COVID-19, a lot of students are now wondering if they should even be taking the SAT or ACT, so I wanted to look at this topic today on the podcast (fun fact - Patricia is actually from the very same high school that I attended, which makes helping her on this coaching session extra special to me)!

In this episode Patricia not only asks about the SAT and ACT, but I also coach her on how to choose a major as well as a minor, and I share strategies with her for reaching more people and have a greater impact with her Passion Project.

We share all the resources, lessons on how to stand out, plan for SAT and ACT, land research positions and more in my Passion Project Bootcamp 1-year college consulting program.

This year I’m also hosting a bonus goal and mindset training for students enrolled in all of my programs, because I strongly believe that having the right mindset is what will lead you to success.

To learn more about Passion Project Bootcamp (1-Year College Consulting Program), we recommend that you start off with our free training, where I talk about the four main strategies that I help my students use to get accepted into their dream colleges.

SHOW NOTES: 

Today I have a coaching session with my Passion Project Bootcamp student, Mercedes. I’m so grateful to attract amazing students like Mercedes who are so committed to their goals and motivated to achieve them.

In this episode Mercedes and I cover a lot of different topics, and I actually got a little emotional after this call because of all that she is doing in regards to her Passion Project (and all that I know she will accomplish in the future).

 Mercedes is currently in the brainstorming phase for her Passion Project, and from talking with her I can really sense how much she wants to help and give back to her community. You’re going to hear how she’s doing this, and why she’s so passionate about the political system in the United States. This episode really is a reminder that we are all here to do good in the world, and it reminds me why I do what I do in helping my students.

If you are a committed student like Mercedes who wants to use the strategies that I teach to get or stay on the best path for getting accepted into your dream college, I highly recommend that you attend my free training! You can register for the free training here.

This is where I share 4 strategies that will help you land research and intern positions, create amazing passion projects, and get awesome results for your college admissions journey.
