Do you know that you need to solidify your Theme long before applying to your dream colleges? We here, at Passion Prep, define Theme as Academic Interests + Personal Interests + Strengths, Personality, and Values. Why do you ask? Because the moment you start your college applications (including schools such as Columbia, Princeton, and UPenn, just to name a few), they ask you the following essay prompts: ✏️ Columbia essay prompt asking about your Academic + Personal Interests: “Please tell us what from your current or past experiences (either academic or personal) attracts you specifically to the areas of study that you previously noted in the application?” ✏️ Princeton essay prompt asking about your Personal Interests: “Briefly elaborate on an activity, organization, work experience, or hobby that has been particularly meaningful to you.” ✏️ UPenn essay prompt asking about your Strength/Personality/Values: “At Penn, learning and growth happen outside of the classrooms, too. How will you explore the community at Penn? Consider how this community will help shape your perspective and identity, and how your identity and perspective will help shape this community.” So instead of being stumped reading these essay prompts when time is of the essence, you need to identify and strategize your Theme now! That is why I’m hosting a Free 3-Day Training Series + Live Q&A, The DNA of Accepted Students, where I’ll walk you through how to identify your Theme, create a stand-out Passion Project based on your Theme, and build your dream college list. On the 4th & final day, I’ll be hosting a Live Q&A where I’ll walk you through the latest college admissions updates, and what you need to do to stand out in the ever-competitive college admissions landscape.

Some of the most frequently asked questions I receive from our students are, “Should I take the SAT or ACT? Should I take both? What are the major differences between the two tests?” With the recent policy updates in testing requirements and the structure of the SAT recently changing, there are numerous factors to consider, such as digital vs. paper format, structure of the SAT vs. ACT exams, and the varying test lengths. Check out my latest YouTube episode to learn which standardized test to take, which one might be best suited for you, the subtle differences between the two exams, and the best time to actually study & sign up for these exams. #collegedamissions #collegeconsulting #collegecounselor #passionprep #dreamcollege #testprep #SAT #ACT #ivyleague #dreamcollegebound #USC #Harvard #Yale #Princeton https://lnkd.in/eGU7tWDb

Lots of talk in recent days about decline of Northeast and popularity of the South when it comes to college. Not denying there's something to it at the edges, but important to remember that applicants aren't enrollments and the South has a lot of big publics with large applicant pools. Basically the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic seem to be holding their own when it comes to student migration over the last few decades. (h/t Jon Boeckenstedt) https://lnkd.in/dGhqBxhn
