Ivy League Prep Academy Podcast
Equipping you to successfully pursue the college of your dreams. I believe that the world needs every student to reach their full potential. College admittance shouldn't hold you back. I'm an educator and Harvard grad who has been in your shoes. I designed this podcast to accompany the Ivy League Challenge (my online course) to support my listeners. I've met with graduates, admissions officers, and professors to identify the criteria used to select candidates. I've crafted a road map for success and can share it with you.

Internships. Summer programs. Camps.
Most students assume these are the key to standing out in college admissions.
But what if some of the hardest opportunities to get… are actually some of the least valuable?
In this episode, I share a real clip from one of my Ivy League Challenge classes, where we break down a common question:
Are internships actually worth it?
You’ll learn:
- Why most students misunderstand the value of internships and summer programs
- The difference between exposure and real leverage
- What actually makes an experience stand out on a college application
- How to position yourself in rooms where people will mentor, support, and accelerate your growth
If you’ve been working hard but aren’t sure if you’re working on the right things, this episode will help you rethink your strategy.
