What does a great college-prep summer actually look like — and does the answer change depending on where your student wants to apply?  In this episode, we walk through two versions of the same student's summer: one optimized for highly selective schools, and one perfectly suited for a great-fit college at any tier. Neither path is wrong — but intentionality is non-negotiable.  You'll learn: • What highly selective schools are actually looking for in summer activities • Why a part-time job and consistent service can be just as powerful as a prestigious program • The one question every student should be able to answer before September • A special word for globally mobile and expat families navigating an unconventional summer  Want summer ideas?
