Johns Hopkins releases essays from previous admitted students. These can be great sources of inspiration and advice. In this episode of the podcast, we read the first few released essays and discuss what we like about them. Michael pulls out his AP Language cards and does some English teacher worthy rhetorical analysis. Nhi and Dominic comment on how the topics seem to encapsulate a clear narrative. And we all wish we could write this well.

Chances are that sometime during the college application process, you’ve found yourself slacking off or procrastinating. In this week’s episode we’ll talk about how to stay productive during the college app process. We’ll give some tips and specific systems that Michael, Nhi, and Dominic have found helpful like hyper-scheduling your calendar, having soft deadlines, and using to do lists. And, of course, an episode on productivity wouldn’t be complete without Michael hating on bullet journals.

Everyone tells students to tour schools, but we never know what to do on them. Now, as seniors start to get flown out by different schools, we talk about how to take advantage of your short time at the school by asking the right questions and talking to the right people. Then, Nhi and Michael share some of their personal experiences with touring schools and attending fly-in programs.
