The people reading your child's college application aren't always engineers. They're evaluating who your student is as a person, not just their technical skills.

In this clip, Prepory coach James shares how one student built a cooking aid for his visually impaired grandmother and turned that personal passion into a standout engineering application that helped him land a spot at UC Berkeley. Authenticity and personal connection matter more than technical jargon alone.
