@@rameshmishra2075 asking is okay but u should do some reasearch on your own, somewhat basic brainstorming should be done by yourself and if u spend some time you can get decently accurate info from Google And also there are some ques like how old are you, how well you perform in some national level exams like jee, gate( if you are pg) to know where u stand Asking some one how to achieve before even trying is dumb Atleast you should do some reasearch on your own
i gotta say this is so far the only day in a life college video that feels like it was created by an actual human and not a lab experiment made to be perfect in every way possible
No 3am run or 14 hour study sessions? This seems like one of the only GENUINE university "Day in the Life..." videos going! A pretty good insight, particularly if MIT is in your plans. Great job!
Yes. Guess what, if you actually pay attention during class and grasp the concepts properly, you don't need to pull all nighters or 14 hour study sessions. Shocker right?
I appreciate your down to earth & sincere style. It's definitely engaging. I sent this along to my nephews who are beginning their college exploration. Keep up the nice work!

Hi, Mr. Nhamo. Congrats 2u on to fronts: 1.)Being accepted into MIT, and 2.)Being one of the school’s content creators for its admissions department. All the best 2u, guy. Ron
@@renmerkom5576 what’s CA. You mean computer science? Yeah that’s a good combo but maybe swap chem or physics for computer science, further maths is also good
I am a postdoc at MIT and because of the pandemic, the only places I have been to on campus have been my office and E23. Thanks for the great video, it's so good to see the campus and the students! Best of luck for your course!
Watched your video for the first time and man, loved it. You seem super humble and the energy your vlog emits is just chill and sharp. I might be attending a college next year as well, this is my prep year for the entrance so this vlog sort of motivated me towards studying harder and being more productive. Thanks. Stay Healthy. Stay Safe. Hope you have a good year
If you are preparing for JEE, let me tell you that they won't accept your request form unless you are an all rounder. I mean, you must have a record of social service, sports at national/international level, decent percentage in class 12 and SAT test. If you don't have all of these then you must be an International Olympiads Qualifier. They don't give a damn to JEE Advanced score as they are not looking for depressed teens, like IITs do. I am saying this to you because one of my relatives got AIR 156 in 2009, but still got rejected by MIT, but he did masters from there. ;__;
Yo mad respect to you getting into MI frickin T! Maybe you want to tell us a little about yourself in your next video, especially why you applied to this university.
Hi! I’m definitely not into STEM and all other non humanities stuff, but I truly enjoyed your video and even subscribed! Please, keep on making content :)
I just came back from touring MIT. It’s so cool to have you make a recent touring video! I know their classes can be quite challenging, so it’s great watching videos like yours, knowing what it’s like being in a lofty educating system like MIT.
You is so polite and very genuine, have a very soft spoken voice and have a very good sense of style, and I love it❤️ May God continue to bless you❤️❤️
MIT is my dream school... however the admissions rate scares me ngl xD, and it's even worse as a non-American. It's not like having to be top 4% out of everyone... you have to be top 4% out of a group of geniuses who all deserve to go there.
While I went to different schools, your video effectively captures my university and graduate study experience. If that means I didn’t get to have the “typical college experience,” then so be it. You’re going far. I can’t wait to see what your life journey will look like.
Wow what a chill video, u explained everything quite nicely and dint show unnecessary stuff. Hats off to u for working and learning so hard and vlogging at the same time.
Congrats on doing your Computer Science degree at MIT. You will have a lot of job offers come junior year from FAANG. Try to get an internship in your sophomore year or possibly this summer if you have time. Cheers!
@pikapikachuuu so you are one of those people who doesn't value a degree. I hate to break it to you, but without degrees, how do you think A.I. and subsets of A I. like machine learning, deep learning and RPA would even manage to come to pass? You need a lot of mathematical knowledge to understand the deepest of sciences and that's what Computer Science and Electrical Engineering are all about. You need a good amount of linear algebra, calculus and stat/probability to actually start delving in many CS concepts.
@@Harry-gx2xr it's definitely not only Indians, but Chinese, Nigerian, Ethiopian, Japanese, S.

RUclips always recommend videos like this because I watch this kind of content for pure fun. I enjoyed it a lot. Hope u have a good day and keep doing your things.

Can't wait for campus life to return once a gain. Looking forward to your next video
Great video, I’m going to look forward to more MIT vlogs from you 👍🏻 Btw could you make a video about how you got into MIT? And also tell us something about yourself?
I am currently a rising sophomore who wants to major in CS. MIT is my dream school. I have good grades and do a decent amount of extracurriculars most of which relate to CS. I am studying for both SAT and ACT. Assuming I have a good essay, SAT and ACT scores, do you believe that I would be able to get in?
I wish I could've been taught about college and the importance of taking AP's earlier in my life. Maybe I could've had hopes of going somewhere like this.
Nice motivation video for the students not only from MIT and USA.My wish Is all universities will by like MIT.Great atmosphere there and you can grow professionally better there.Great,great.✌👋🇺🇦
