“Veronica, how do I make my application stand out? Do I need a 4/4 GPA? Or maybe I should do extra volunteering?” — if these questions ever come across your head, our next event is for you!

Recent Harvard admissions stats reveal an uncomfortable truth: 8,000 applicants had perfect GPA, but less than 2,000 were accepted. It's not the grades, but a strong Personal Brand that gets students into the world’s best universities. Join our event to learn exactly what a Personal Brand is and how you can create yours:

We will learn how to:

• identify what kind of candidates universities are looking for

• communicate your values

• describe your extracurriculars and honors

• tell a compelling story

Join our 1-hour workshop to learn the best practices for writing a Personal Statement — a key component of your US college application.

Doing personal projects is one of the best way to show your passion and initiative. Two things that universities (and companies) LOVE!

However, many projects never reach a stage where you can include them in your resume or mention during interview. We are going to change that!

Join our webinar to learn how to:

• 🤩 find ideas that make your excited

• 🚀 turn idea into reality within two weeks

• 📝 document and present your results

It’s the peak of the college application season! But before you hit Submit, it’s important to be aware of common mistakes that could very easily destroy an amazing application. Not all advice you find on the internet is applicable to international students!

In this session, we will go over the 5 most common mistakes and ways to prevent them. I bet many of you are making at least one right now! The session will be particularly useful to students applying this year, but everyone else is welcome to join as well.
