The Prepped and Polished Podcast is an educational and inspirational show that offers tutoring and test prep tips as well as interviews with celebrities and leaders in education. It is hosted by Alexis Avila, founder of Prepped and Polished LLC, a tutoring and test prep firm for K-college. On today's show, Alexis is joined by Jessica Yeager, CEO & founder of Impress the Ivies. Jessica gives us tips on how to craft an application that Harvard will want to see! Jessica’s take on why perfect scores sometimes get rejected? Colleges want to see that you spend hundreds of hours on something more impactful than just on test prep. Jessica’s X factor for getting into Harvard: Showcase what makes you unique and don’t be a dabbler. Jessica’s advice to students who get rejected from Harvard: It’s not the college you get into that is most important but rather it’s what you do with your degree that matters. Get involved and make an impact at the school you get into. Jessica’s advice for teens: Surround yourself with positive people who make an impact in the world, that will help you step up your game!
