Demystifying College Admissions

As mentioned recently, we’re switching the podcast up a bit to share the behind-the-scenes happenings here at Julie Kim Consulting.

If you don’t already know, I have a signature digital program called The Passion Project Bootcamp, with a lot of incredible students enrolled in it. I’ll be sharing the 1-on-1 coaching sessions I have with these students here on the podcast, to not only benefit each of them, but to also help you as the listener out as well.

Today’s call is with Sonya, a junior in high school whose passion project has instilled a sense of purpose and a mission in her.

Creating a passion project has not only created a standout factor for Sonya’s application, but she’s feeling so excited about it, which you’ll hear today in this conversation. She asks me some important questions around mindset, specifically how to not feel guilty when she doesn’t complete everything on her to-do list, as well as what she can do to stop comparing herself to others (and who hasn’t done this)!

We also look at how to incorporate passion projects into college essays, the way to get published in newspapers and magazines, and I even edit and make suggestions on the Professor Outreach email that she is sending out to professors.

There is a lot of strategy and mindset tips packed into this episode!

Awesome news!!

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”!

In today's digital age, there’s no denying that social media has become an integral part of our lives. However, there's just so much going on in the world of social media and I’ve discovered students having a hard time managing all that comes with social media as it relates to college admissions.

While there can be benefits to social media when it comes to college admissions, it can still be very tough. In our latest episode, I reveal 3 pros and cons of social media in the college admissions space, and I share how you can begin to manage your screen time, foster a positive online presence, and ultimately, leverage social media to your advantage.

I’m hosting a free live workshop this coming Wednesday that I highly recommend you register for. During this training, you’ll learn 3 high-level strategies you must implement to get accepted into your dream colleges, new trends that we’re seeing in college admissions, along with any recent policy changes occuring in the college admissions landscape. I can’t wait to support you! You can reserve your free seat at https://passionprep.com/live//!

If you want more individualized college admissions support, we have our 1:1 Premier College Counseling Program that is one year long called the Accepted Club. Inside this program, we’ll focus on providing you with the best individualized support by focusing on your passion, strength and potential. Your support will include 8 x 1:1 Sessions via Zoom, Unlimited Email Support with our coaches, and Weekly Office Hours to answer any questions you have about your college admissions journey.

Are you dreaming of attending your dream college and wondering what it takes to stand out in this competitive college admissions process? The answer isn't about doing everything all at once, but about having a strategic game plan and once you have a solid foundation in place first, you can focus on important action-steps that we execute inside our Passion Prep programs.

Last week, I hosted a bonus training for our Passion Prep students on this very same topic. Although I rarely share our Passion Prep materials as I like to keep it exclusive for our students, I thought sharing the audio recording from this presentation would be really helpful for listeners of our podcast. I hope this episode helps you create a personalized roadmap to achieve your goals so you can navigate the college application process with more confidence & clarity!

If you’ve been following me for a while now or you’re a student in one of our programs, you know that I am always emphasising the importance of mindset. In this episode, I want to talk about some of the things that are not really discussed in the space of college admissions.

Today, I reveal the role mindset plays in having the confidence to set big goals that will ultimately lead you to find passion and success on your college admissions journey.

Remember, there’s a transformation you can go through when you set big goals. Even if you don’t reach that goal, you will inevitably go through a shift, and this process will help you evolve as you become a more happy, more confident, and more successful person.

I hope you enjoy this episode, and I highly recommend that you attend our free 60-minute introductory training, where you’ll learn the 3 Essential Strategies you can implement right now to build a compelling college portfolio. You can reserve your seat now at https://passionprep.com/masterclass!
