Don't Chase Gold- Stand Out in College Admissions

Ivy League Prep Academy Podcast

Most students believe that getting into a top college means checking all the right boxes—perfect grades, leadership roles, and a long list of impressive achievements. But what if that’s actually the wrong approach?

In this episode, I’ll reveal:
✅ The Gold Rush Mistake that keeps students stuck in the "Impressiveness Trap"
✅ The three levels of preparation—good, better, and best—and which one actually works
✅ Why top colleges don’t want “perfect applicants”—they want future change-makers
✅ A simple mindset shift that makes both admissions and long-term success easier

If you’ve been stressed about standing out, this episode will change how you think about college admissions forever.
