You’ve made it to the end of AP season—or you're just about to. So… what now? In this episode, I share what successful students actually do after their exams are over to prepare for college applications. These are the same strategies used by Ivy League, Stanford, and MIT admits—and they’re simple, clear, and powerful.
You’ll learn:
- Why the summer after junior year is a “bonus semester”
- The two questions your application must answer
- What aligned action looks like (with real student examples)
- How to recover, reflect, and move forward with purpose
- A simple 3-step plan you can start this week
Whether you’re feeling burned out or just unsure of your next step—this episode will help you reset your direction and use your time wisely.
