The University/College Essay Summer Work

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 08:00:00 -0400

What if the best college essay your student ever writes is hiding in an ordinary summer? In this episode, Kristi breaks down how a single summer experience — a job, a trip, a creative project, or even a season of quiet caregiving — becomes the foundation of a college essay that actually sounds like the student who wrote it. You'll learn:

• Why "unimpressive" summers often produce the strongest essays

• The three-part anatomy of every great college essay (and how to apply it to your own experience)

• A real example: how a student turned a plant nursery job into a standout Common App essay

• Three journal prompts students can use this week to start mining their summer for essay material

• A direct word to parents about the most powerful thing they can do right now

Work on your essay with Kristi this summer: https://kc360.co/course/college-essay-summit/.

Ivy Track vs. Every Track (Considering Summer Activities for Your College App)

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 16:00:00 -0400

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
