3. Comment ‘extra’ below
1. “Passion Project” With No Passion or Progress
E.g. “Started a passion project on mental health” (but never posted or built anything)
Why it’s weak: Admissions officers can tell when a project exists only for applications. No consistency = no credibility.
2. Dropshipping or Reselling With No Scale
E.g. “Ran an online store” (sold 3 items to friends)
Why it’s weak: Calling a tiny side experiment a business without revenue, learning, or growth looks exaggerated.
3. AI-Generated Blogs or Accounts
E.g. “Wrote 50 articles using AI tools”
Why it’s weak: Quantity without originality or thought doesn’t impress. Colleges value your thinking, not automation.
4. Generic Instagram Pages With No Engagement
E.g. “Ran a motivational quotes page”
Why it’s weak: Thousands of students do this. Without original content, growth, or community impact, it’s forgettable.
5. Short-Term ‘Entrepreneurship’ Experiments
E.g. “Tried 5 different business ideas in one year”
Why it’s weak: Jumping between ideas with no depth or results signals lack of focus, not ambition.

How to create a passion project ⬇️‼️
“Passion project” sounds terrifying 😅
Like you need to cure cancer or build the next big app to impress adcoms.
Truth bomb 👇
You do NOT need one to get into med school.
Thousands matriculate every year without it.
BUT…
If there’s something you genuinely love (even if it feels “small”), turning it into a project is the easiest way to:
✨ Stand out
✨ Enjoy the premed grind
✨ Have something fun to talk about in interviews
Mine started sophomore year after one mental health advocacy class I couldn’t stop thinking about 💔
→ Founded a nonprofit teaching kids emotional literacy through children’s books
→ Big dream: clinics + libraries in mental-health deserts 🌍
That’s my thing. Yours doesn’t have to look like it (please don’t copy—copying kills passion 🔥)
Two simple questions to find yours:
1️⃣ Outside medicine + others’ opinions… what do I actually love?
(woodworking 🪚 running 🏃♀️ cooking 🍳 art 🎨 writing ✍️ – nothing too small)
2️⃣ How can I use it to serve or connect people?
→ Cook? → Meals for shelters
→ Run? → Free community run club
→ Write? → Publish stories & read to kids
Boom—that’s a passion project 🎤
No nonprofit needed.
No app needed.
Just something you’d do even if med schools never saw it ❤️
Best part?
Interviewers ask about this constantly. When it’s real, you light up talking about it. They’ll remember YOU over the 50th generic EMT entry.
Stop waiting for “perfect.”
Start tiny. Start messy. Start today.
Drop your passion in the comments—I’m reading every one 👀💬

LOG YOUR PASSION PROJECT ON INSTAGRAM. Ivy League colleges get thousands of students applying with “passion projects” that show no real impact, and have no evidence of any real involvement. But how do you tell the difference between those and something REAL? Instagram.
If you take pictures and videos from every event, you host, every person you help, and every impact you make while you are doing your project and log it on Instagram, it becomes a time stamped record of all the work you did. Then when you are ready to apply to college, you can simply drop the Instagram handle in the additional information section of your application and the admissions officers will often look it up and see the pictures and videos of all the wonderful things you did.
That’s how you prove that your passion project was real and it’s how you stand out to Ivy League colleges.
if you’re thinking about COD/CR/Valorant or online shopping at 3am… your passion might be in game design/game development or fashion🥶
and these are genuine academic fields that you can develop a fun and impactful passion project in!!!
