"You have to find your "passion" to get accepted into Ivy Leagues and top-tier colleges!! OR else!"
You've heard that before, right?
But...Is that really true?
In this episode, I discuss and demystify the word "passion" and share 5 questions that you must ask yourself when identifying and exploring your interests and passions and how it fits into the college admissions process.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT IN THIS EPISODE:
- Why I had to re-write my Harvard essay because I knew it wasn't my "real" passion
- Why students and parents are trying so hard to find that "passion" and why "trying hard" is actually a mistake
- 5 questions you should ask yourself when exploring your interests (academic and/or non-academic)
- What Ivy Leagues and top-tier college admission officers hate seeing on the applicants' essays (but so many students actually don't know about this!)
- The ONE word that is prohibited when writing your college essays
NOTABLE QUOTES:
- "Don't fake your passions"
- "What are you really interested in and why?"
- "Show and demonstrate your passion in the most authentic way possible"
- "It has to come from your heart, not your ego"
