We are all Rubik’s cubes. You might be wondering what we mean by this. Well, maybe you’re into chemistry but also have a passion for poetry. Or you like to draw cartoons in your spare time but dream of being a mathematician. We’re riddles, made up of many different sides. One of the biggest mistakes you can make is not showing off your diversity. At the end of the day, the colorful sides you have are what make you original. And everyone loves a Rubik’s cube. We believe that one of the best ways to explore your complexity is through a personalized portfolio. Once we get to know you, we do our best to make sure you have all the tools you need to succeed in the academic world. Whether you’re applying to college, or a super-selective summer program, a portfolio that innovatively shares your skills and accomplishments can greatly enhance your chances of getting accepted. It’s also an excellent way to present your recent creations, leaving you with something tangible. In other words, just be yourself—we’re here to identify the perfect formula to solve your “Rubik’s cube.” Here's how it works: You show us what you’ve got: To fully assess your work, we need to see a wide variety of accomplishments. Come to us with your essays, research papers, poetry, short stories, paintings, drawings, photos, and more. Don’t be afraid to submit work that comes from completely different genres. It’s completely okay to combine STEM with art. Once we “get” who you are and what you like to do, we will be perfectly equipped to personalize your portfolio. We come up with a plan: We don’t believe in playing it safe. Once we evaluate your strengths, we’ll propose a creative, out-of-the-box way of presenting your portfolio. For instance, if you love to draw, write poetry, and plan to major in environmental science in college, we might recommend that you work on a graphic novel with a climate change-related plot, using poetry instead of dialogue. It might be a bit of a challenge, but it’s a great way to showcase your work creatively. You let us know what you think: After evaluating our proposal, we’d love for you to add to our plan, sharing any additional goals or ideas you think would truly make your work shine. Remember, we’re here to guide the process, and we want you to be as fully invested in your portfolio as we are. We put it into action: Once we have a game plan, we’re here to help you complete your personalized portfolio each step of the way. Whether you’re creating a graphic novel, an autobiography full of personal essays, or a self-help book in the field you know best, we won’t give up until your portfolio is complete, and you’re proud of your work. While some people think it’s impossible to solve a Rubik’s cube, the average person can actually complete a Rubik's cube in around twenty to thirty minutes. While your personalized portfolio may take longer to finish, one thing is the same: we are confident that by drawing from your unique attributes, perspective, and knowledge, you can solve your own riddles.
