In this episode, we flip the script and walk through the 10 fastest ways to sabotage your college admissions chances—so you can do the opposite.

From staying “well-rounded” to avoiding commitment to a hook, we discuss common traps that smart students fall into. We cover why being passive and waiting for permission or perfection when it comes to resume-building are silent application killers—and how trap essay prompts, misaligned majors, or poor testing strategy can sink student candidacies.

By emphasizing the most frequent ways students jeopardize their odds at selective colleges, we shed light on how you can avoid the same pitfalls.
