No passion project? You’re missing the strategy top students are using right now.
Most families don't realize that a standout passion project can be the “wow factor” that sets your child apart from thousands of other high-achieving applicants.
Whether your student is just starting to brainstorm or already has an idea in mind, this session will provide the insider strategies to help make their project — and their application — stand out.
From Stanford to Yale, admissions officers are looking for students who demonstrate leadership, initiative, and intellectual curiosity. A capstone project is one of the most effective ways to showcase all three.
In this exclusive webinar, you’ll hear from a Crimson Platinum Strategist whose students have been accepted to Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Yale, Cornell, UPenn, Columbia, Duke, Johns Hopkins, Georgia Tech, and more.
She'll cover:
- What makes a passion project stand out to top college admissions officers
- How to turn your Activities List into a story of leadership and impact
- Strategies to boost your project’s scale, depth, and visibility
- Real student projects that got noticed — and how to follow their lead
Our speaker will also be answering your questions LIVE throughout the webinar!
