In this Recruiting Reality Check, Katie Neff and Japheth Mast break down "Procrastinator Annie" – an impressive sophomore at a target school who bought 24 coaching sessions, built a full prep plan… and then didn't start.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why waiting until you "feel ready" is the most common trap high achievers fall into
What to do when you're behind on prep with only weeks to go
The daily minimum that keeps you moving forward (even when time is tight)
Why your first coaching session is supposed to be uncomfortable
