In this episode of Demystifying College Admissions, I have a very special guest, Ursula. Ursula is Michelle’s mom and Michelle is my former student who recently graduated from high school and is now having a blast at NYU! I’m so grateful that I was able to mentor Michelle and help her navigate this journey with ease and success.   WHAT YOU’LL LEARN ABOUT IN THIS EPISODE: Why Ursula decided to work with me even though she had already hired a college counselor for Michelle  What students truly need How Michelle benefited from working with me  What kind of role Ursula played in the college admissions journey to maximize Michelle’s motivation, passion, and success What the college admissions journey is really all about   NOTABLE QUOTES: “Even though there are very good professionals out in the field, not all of them are a good fit for our kids.” “You knew exactly how to motivate her.” “Her professional, academic, and personal development started with you.”  “She has and keeps developing/discovering what her passions are.” “What matters is that they are happy.” “The most important thing is that they can find their passions.” “Parents: we need to be very aware and give all of the resources to our kids - to provide them the elements that they need in order to rediscover or discover what is inside of them, not outside!” “Enjoy the ride!”   SHOW NOTES: https://juliekimconsulting.com/podcast/   IVY LEAGUE/TOP-TIER COLLEGE BOOTCAMP: https://juliekimconsulting.com/confident/
