Passion Project as an edge in college admission
In a world where standardized test scores and perfect GPAs no longer guarantee success, admission officers are seeking something more—something that sets you apart from the rest. The Passion Project Bootcamp is here to revolutionize your college admission journey and empower you to showcase your unique strengths and interests like never before!
At the PACP Passion Project Program, we provide students with an unparalleled opportunity to bring their dreams to life and captivate college admission officers.
What is a passion project?
A Passion Project is work that you complete that showcases your talents, skills, interests, and connections to your community. It's a project born out of your deep-seated interests and motivations, where you have the freedom to explore, create, and impact your community.
Starting a Podcast or YouTube Channel
Imagine discussing the biology behind COVID-19 during its early stages and catching the attention of prestigious universities like Stanford. It's possible!
Writing and Publishing a Novel
Become a published author, even before stepping foot on campus.
Transforming Skills into Business and Philanthropy
Take your passion for design, for example, and turn it into a thriving business while making a positive impact on your community. Sell your own creations and use the profits to help those in need.
Developing a Website or App
Tackle a problem plaguing your community head-on by designing a website or app that addresses it directly. Use technology to make a difference and impress college admissions.
Creating a Documentary
Identify an issue that resonates with you, be it in your community or school, and document it through a powerful and thought-provoking film. Inspire change and leave a lasting impact.
