Ivy League Prep Academy Podcast
Equipping you to successfully pursue the college of your dreams. I believe that the world needs every student to reach their full potential. College admittance shouldn't hold you back. I'm an educator and Harvard grad who has been in your shoes. I designed this podcast to accompany the Ivy League Challenge (my online course) to support my listeners. I've met with graduates, admissions officers, and professors to identify the criteria used to select candidates. I've crafted a road map for success and can share it with you.

Athletics & College Application Strategy
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Does playing a sport actually help you get into a top college?
The answer is more nuanced than most families realize.
In this episode, we break down when athletics is a powerful advantage, when it doesn’t matter at all, and how to think through one of the most difficult decisions student-athletes face.
The 3 Categories
Recruited → athletics can carry your application
Want to quit → you can walk away without hurting your chances
Messy middle → you must choose between time in your sport and building a more competitive profile
Sports only help if you use them the right way.
The real question is not whether you play, it’s what you’re able to demonstrate because of it.
