Why I Built Project Connect Forum

When I applied to college, I saw how hard it was for students to showcase their activities in a way that admissions officers truly notice. I built Project Connect Forum in high school to make that easier — turning a small idea into a platform with thousands of users, international nonprofit chapters, and a supportive community.

Along the way, I earned admission to Stanford, but more importantly, I learned that strong extracurriculars speak louder than stats. They highlight leadership, initiative, and passion, and they form the foundation for powerful supplemental essays.

Through PCF, I share those strategies with students like you — helping you build meaningful experiences and present them in the strongest way possible.
