College Counseling
In this webinar, we will look at profiling yourself for college and how to effectively present your unique character to admissions officers despite not achieving high grades. Passion projects are activities or initiatives that you undertake out of genuine interest and enthusiasm. These projects go beyond academic requirements and demonstrate your curiosity, initiative, leadership and dedication to a particular area of interest. They can include research projects, artistic endeavors, community service initiatives, entrepreneurial ventures, or any other pursuit that reflects your passions and values!
