The 1000 Auditions Essay

May 14, 2022

Luke 12:48

To whom much is given, much will be required.

First comes love: H-Y-P-S (Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford)

Then comes proposal of “marriage”:  G-P-P-C (Georgetown, Princeton, U Penn, Cornell)

In college admissions, you must declare your “Soulmate” by May 1

Days before May 1st,  I asked Janah, “Is that your final answer?”

Today’s episode is less about her final decision, and more about what comes next. As Janah’s mother reminds her, “To whom much is given, much will be required.” 

Janah is a woman of faith, guided by her spiritual compass. She knows she carries a heavy burden of making others proud and paying it forward. Today’s episode brings tears to my eyes having had the honor of working with a young Janah now ready to take on the world. 

Listen and be inspired by her plans for college, her podcast, and beyond the Ivy walls. 

Janah came to us just after sophomore year when she joined Dream College Academy and later became a private client and alumna of College Essay Bootcamp.  As a private client there is nothing we did not talk about, think through, plan for, and execute. With regular meetings and the use of the Marco Polo app, Janah had me as coach, mentor, and cheerleader at every step of the way.
