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.

What To Do with Your Summer
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In college admissions, summer serves a very important purpose.
It’s one of the only times of year where your time is truly your own… and that makes it one of the clearest signals of who you are, what you value, and how you choose to operate when no one is telling you what to do.
In this episode, we break down how to think about your summer the right way, and how to use it to actually differentiate yourself.
What You’ll Learn
- Why summers matter more than almost anything else in your application
- The difference between “theme park” experiences and real responsibility
- How to evaluate opportunities (beyond job vs internship labels)
- Why “ordinary” work can be more impressive than prestigious programs
- How to move from interest → experience → real contribution
- What admissions officers are actually looking for when they review your summer activities
