My student created this instead of a summer program, got into Harvard. I'm going to share something that's helped dozens of my students get into Ivy League schools. Summer personal projects. What is a personal project?

It's something you create that showcase your interests, your skills, and your initiative. It's not structured like a summer program or an internship. You are in the driver's seat. The beauty of personal projects is they show colleges who you really are and what you care about. Plus, almost no other students are doing them. Let me give you a quick example. My student Tyler was passionate about environmental science. Instead of attending a summer program, he designed and built a rainwater collection system for his community garden that reduced water usage by 60%. So when application season came around, he had something completely unique to write about, something he created, not a program assigned to him. Another one of our students, Michelle, loves photography and social justice. She created a photo documentary highlighting the unsung heroes in her community, exhibited at local businesses, and raised over $3,000 for community programs. The key to impressive personal projects is connecting your authentic interest to meaningful impact. Don't just learn something, create something. Don't just create something, share something. Your project doesn't need to change the world. It just needs to show colleges you can identify a need, develop a solution, and follow through with the implementation. This summer, instead of consuming knowledge, create something only you can
