85: Building the Profile: Saying "No" to Good Activities to Build Depth in Great Ones

Students often spread themselves too thin across many activities rather than deeply developing a few key areas that will truly differentiate their applications. In this episode, I share some coaching I recently gave a student about the importance of saying "no" to good opportunities in order to focus on building a strong Ivy League profile. I also share examples from my own experiences to show how strategic focus and restraint can lead to more impactful results.
