Demystifying College Admissions

Today we’re bringing back the Passion Project Bootcamp coaching call series, where I invite my students onto the podcast and coach them through questions ranging from mindset, study techniques, college admissions strategies, Passion Projects, and much more! This is one of the many benefits you’ll get inside the Passion Project Bootcamp, where you get more support with me in addition to the monthly live Q&A calls and unlimited support inside our private community! In this episode, we’re talking about how my student Ishita is feeling stressed about the fact her school is very competitive and maintaining grades as a student there can be really hard. I definitely remember feeling overwhelmed and stressed during my high school years, so I can resonate with her in so many ways. As you’ll hear, we came to a really good solution for her in this coaching call. This is an important episode because although strategies are important, we also must remember the mindset piece of the college admissions journey! On December 18th I’m hosting a 2022 Goal Setting Workshop! In this workshop, I’ll teach you how to review your 2021 and how to set new goals for the upcoming new year - the right way. I’m also going to help you with your mindset and ways to feel more confident in 2022, and I’ll give you time management strategies to use to overcome procrastination. This workshop is for our Passion Project Bootcamp and Passion Project Bootcamp NEXT LEVEL students exclusively, and if you enroll in Passion Project Bootcamp at https://juliekimconsulting.com/bootcamp by December 17th, 2021, and use the coupon code “GOAL2022”, you’ll receive a $500 discount to the program! We’ve also just made a HUGE upgrade to our free training, so before you begin the new year, I highly recommend that you register for this training so that you know exactly what mistakes to avoid. I’ll also teach you the 3 strategies you’ll want to implement towards your college admissions journey in 2022. To register for the updated training, go to https://juliekimconsulting.com/masterclass.

In today's podcast episode, I wanted to reveal what it was like for me as a 1st Generation Korean American to navigate the college admissions process. I also have a lot of insights to share that can be applied if you are an international student or a 1.5 generation student as well, so you’ll want to tune in and listen. We’re also sharing another series of student interviews with our Passion Project Bootcamp students. In these student interviews, they talk about the importance of mindset and the specific shifts that they made throughout the Passion Project Bootcamp Program, and I can’t wait for you to hear from them here today. These students also share that they will be the first child to go to college in the United States, so I’m sure it will be insightful, relatable, and extremely helpful.  As mentioned last week, I’m on a mission to transform the college admissions journey, so once a year we host a live event for students and parents from all over the world. This year we are taking it to the next level with a free 3-part video series and live Q&A called The DNA of Accepted Students, where you’ll learn the 3 essential steps to get accepted into your dream college (even if you think you’re not competitive enough). You can watch the first video starting June 20th, with the other videos releasing on June 21st and 22nd, and then on June 22nd at 5 pm Pacific/8 pm Eastern I’ll be doing a live Q&A on Zoom to answer your specific questions.  Registration is FREE and now open at https://juliekimconsulting.com/accepted.

You’ll find out today!  We’re also sharing another series of interviews with our Passion Project Bootcamp students. In these student interviews, they reveal how they learned about the best time to start preparing for the college admissions journey, as well as the value of investing in themselves and what the Passion Project Bootcamp Program has brought to their lives that they didn’t have in the past.  I have a big announcement to make!

You don’t need to get accepted into your dream college to be successful.  You may have read the title of this episode and wondered… “Is Julie serious?” Yes, I am! In this episode, I’m going to unpack what I truly mean when I say that you don’t need to get into your dream college to be successful, and what actually matters in the college admissions process and your life.  I’ll also be sharing more interviews from our Passion Project Bootcamp students who resonate with this message. Today they reveal what they learned in the Passion Project Bootcamp Program and how they now apply it to their lives.  Remember, we cannot define our success and our chances of being successful by where we go to college, and I want to put an end to the labelling, identifying and judging people based on this. In this midst of all the noise, you need to find yourself first because that IS actually the strategy to getting accepted into your dream college.  Our signature 1-Year Group College Consulting Program, Passion Project Bootcamp, is currently closed for enrollment, but will be opening enrollment in June!

I’m so excited to be sharing this compilation episode with you, where three of our Passion Project Bootcamp students will be sharing their experiences and feedback about the Passion Project Bootcamp Program with you, in their own words!  In this episode, I really want you to  understand how this ONE strategy  will get you accepted into your dream colleges. I’m confident because this strategy is not about doing more, and it’s not about burning yourself out or losing who you are as a person just to get into these high-ranked and competitive colleges. It’s also not about copying what everyone else is doing, because that is NOT going to work for you.  In this episode you’ll meet our Passion Project Bootcamp students, Elizabeth, Shivani and Yashaswi, who each reveal how this ONE  strategy we teach in Passion Project Bootcamp will not only get them accepted into their dream colleges, but how this strategy transformed their lives as an individual.  Mindset is key, and the shifts that you’ll learn in the Passion Project Bootcamp Program will lead to so many breakthroughs, including more confidence, loving yourself more, acknowledging your worth, knowing what you're passionate about, and identifying your strength and potential. I hope that you’re able to relate to these students and what they share today, and realize that you’re not alone in this process.

It would mean so much to me if you did this, as that is one of the best ways to spread our message that the college admissions journey doesn’t have to be stressful and hard – it should be fun! We also just released a new FREE workbook that you can download to get started thinking about self-exploration and your Passion Project ideas.

Today we are talking all about pre-med, and I’m so excited to be speaking about this topic with my special guest, Dr. Shemmassian! If you are interested, or majoring in, biology, chemistry, physics, or anatomy, and your goal is to get into medical school or any other profession that requires you to have a pre-med major, then you’re going to love this episode. Even if you’re not sure what you want to do (yet), then this episode will be helpful for you, and yes, you can still work on a Passion Project or land a research and intern position without knowledge in these areas! With that being said, I invite you to our free training that is going to walk you through how my students got accepted into Ivy League and/or Top-tier colleges. We’ll reveal the strategies to use, and you’ll have an opportunity to enroll in the Passion Project Bootcamp Program, our signature 1-year college consulting program.

As much as I love talking about strategies and action steps to take to get accepted into your dream college, for today’s episode I wanted to look at things a little differently. I want to share with you a bit about the meaning that society places on college, so that you can step back and think about why you are doing all of this in the first place. Have you registered for our free masterclass yet? Inside my free masterclass, I’ll be revealing how the college admissions process is changing, especially with Covid-19 in 2021, and what you can do to make sure that you’re not making any mistakes. Plus, I’ll be showing how you can implement a step-by-step strategy to get accepted into your dream college.
