About This Event

Summer is the secret weapon in college admissions, but most students waste it.

They either spend three months doing nothing meaningful, or they scramble to fill their time with random activities that don't actually strengthen their college profile.

Here's the truth: admissions officers can spot the difference between a purposeful summer and resume padding from a mile away.

So how do you plan a summer that actually makes an impact?

Join John G., Harvard graduate and college strategy expert, as he reveals how to design a summer experience that stands out to top universities and aligns with your authentic interests and goals.

What You'll Learn:

  • How to identify summer opportunities that match your unique profile and aspirations

  • The activities that actually impress admissions committees (and the ones that don't)

  • Creative alternatives to expensive summer programs that can be just as impactful

  • How to structure your summer for maximum growth without burning out

  • Ways to document and articulate your summer experiences in applications

  • Timeline and planning strategies to make it all happen

Who This Is For:

  • High school students (freshmen through juniors) planning ahead

  • Parents who want to help their children maximize summer opportunities

  • Anyone serious about strengthening their college application strategically

What Makes This Different:

John brings an insider's perspective from Harvard and years of college advising experience. You'll get honest, practical advice—not generic tips you can find on any college blog.

Whether you have the whole summer ahead of you or you're planning for next year, you'll leave with a clear action plan you can implement immediately.
