T&T Progress

Part 2 Work early on international and pre-collegiate programs. Summer programs at top universities matter. This year, our students were accepted to programs at Babson, Harvard, Stanford, Dartmouth, MIT, and many others. These programs show academic readiness, international competitiveness, and seriousness. Every selective program you get accepted to adds weight to your application, especially if you start early. Do not forget about Olympiads. Olympiads are a crucial part of your application because they show academic preparedness and competitiveness. I am not talking about private or internal Olympiads affected by bureaucracy or corruption. I am talking about real, competitive academic Olympiads that require time, preparation, and deep knowledge. Admissions officers know the difference. And finally, the most important thing. Even if you do everything right, rejection can still happen. Please remember that your university offer does not define your value. A top university acceptance is an opportunity, not your identity. If you feel burnout, pause and recover. If you face rejection, do not correlate it with your self-worth. Your journey is bigger than one admission cycle. Good luck to everyone entering the next admission cycle. @tt_progress

My final insights from Fall 2026 admission cycle: Part 1 Why This Year Our Common App Strategy Was Different This year, our Common App strategy changed completely. Instead of submitting the same Common App essay to every university, we rewrote the main essay for each school individually. Harvard received one version. UPenn received another. Yale received a different one. The same approach applied to supplemental essays. Why? Because universities are not looking for the same student. One story may show leadership, social responsibility, and care for community. Another story may highlight grit, resilience, and strength of character. A third may demonstrate deep intellectual curiosity and independent thinking. The student is the same, but the lens is different. That is why tailoring matters. Every year, I tell my students the same thing: your passion project is everything. One strong project can generate dozens of Common App stories and multiple supplemental essay angles. If you are working on a project, dealing with people, communicating with different communities, solving difficult and challenging tasks, then you already have stories. A passion project allows you to reflect on your journey, your conclusions, and your next steps. Admissions officers are not impressed by quantity; they are impressed by depth and meaning drawn from one project. So please, keep doing your passion project. Your passion project is everything. Before you even start writing your supplemental essays, keep in mind that you must have a story bank. A story bank is something you build over time while working on your profile and social brand. If one university asks eight different supplemental questions, you should have eight different stories. That means your life cannot be only about SAT and IELTS. Your life must have meaning, values, initiative, and contribution. This is why social branding and consistent activity building are critical. Another thing that was different this year is testing strategy. One important clarification I want to make: a high SAT score does not mean you can get a high IELTS score. That is the correlation I am talking about. These two exams measure completely different skills. SAT tests reasoning and logic; IELTS tests language fluency and communication. Please do not assume that a high SAT will automatically lead to a high IELTS. Treat IELTS as a separate goal and work on it intentionally. Please take your tests early. This is the same mistake I see every single year. Students postpone exams until December or January, right before deadlines. This blocks everything: university lists, supplemental essays, and scholarship strategies. My advice is simple. Start taking SAT from May. Take it in May, July, August, October, and December. Ideally, you should take your first SAT as early as 10th grade so that you have enough time later to focus on activities, social branding, and storytelling without panic. If you are an international student, you must start preparing early — ideally from 8th grade. This is how it works globally. In the U.S., many students start preparing from childhood. Their parents place them in strong schools early, they take advanced and non-standard courses, and their academic paths are built step by step. Once you reach 8th grade, you must take grades seriously, work on your English level, start SAT preparation gradually, and begin building activities. This is how you make sure you are ready, not just hoping. Be strategic with activities. Do not be repetitive. Do not spend years collecting hundreds of volunteer certificates, attending dozens of conferences, or doing MUN again and again only as a participant. If your role is always passive, it does not strengthen your profile. Instead, think about creating your own community project or your own volunteering initiative. One meaningful project with real impact is always stronger than a hundred passive activities. Work early on international and pre-collegiate programs. Summer programs at top universities matter. @tt_progress

I see so many followers joined my telegram channel when i started texting in English. Would you like me to share more of my tips and my lifestyle and even maybe my work process here without any masks or even “perfect AI refined” texts? 🤪

Commonapp season is officially over for me! Finally! It has been a long year of edits, diverse student cases, long and deep conversations, very interesting essays and most importantly new skills I got while working on these cases. Very happy for to grow every year going deeper and wider by all means. Being mentor is not the best idea if you love your comfort zone. Being mentor is sacrificing all your Fall and Winter celebrations, sometimes even your social and private life. It is about sacrificing your relationships with your family members and loved ones for the sake of success of your students. Prove me wrong. So think twice before publicly telling people you are a mentor! Good luck everyone for Fall 2026 soeason😍
