In our episode on Summer Dreaming we share thoughts and tips on how high school students can get the most out of summer. We discuss options for summer jobs, volunteering and academic focus.
Most importantly, we want students listening to think about making these choices for their life, versus making choices for a college application. Exploring genuine interests is always a better route than trying to determine what any particular college “wants”. The strongest college applications come from students who are able to reflect on what they've done and why they've chosen to do it, and why it's meaningful to them.
