@Joel Kasen thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I saw so many videos and they all were telling about their big achievements ig.. which made me. depressed as i haven't done anything major in Life till now that will make me stand out But when i saw ur video I got new ideas like learning a new Language is my passion...and helping people is what i love to do. Thanks a lot for These ideas.. I must work hard now towards my passion
My interest is government and politics, and I might want to pursue a law degree in the future. What high school classes should I take? I took AP Government and I’m currently taking AP Lang and AP Calculus.
What ways do you recommend finding out what you are interested in? I want to find something I'm passionate about but I'm afraid I'm just trying to get myself into things that people say got them into colleges. I'm only a freshman, so I have a couple years ahead of me, but I just want to find out what I am passionate about. Åny tips?
Me neither I have no idea what I want to go into as a career, so I've been doing trying to do some things but i don't think it's enough. Im on a robotics team (marketing side, I'm not passionate about engineering), I do NAHS, and I'm planning on joining on NSHS and maybe doing track and field in the spring, with cross country junior year. But idk if I'll actually do those things :/
I would like to start a school garden for my enjoyment and my passion for plants. And perhaps donate the harvests. My school has this huge vacant plot that got overgrown with grass, and I'd like to take 1/8 of it. Now, the problem is, how should I approach my principal. I'm much frightened of the idea of asking permission, especially from my principal. It's not that he's hot-headed. It may be the fact that we're not close to each other, YET. But once my school goes for offline teaching, I'm going to ask him immediately. Until then, I'm preparing the necessary tools and seeds to grow. While also searching the green thumbs for extra support. But if I ended up alone, then I'd take the opportunity to work independently. And I'm currently running a RUclips channel (Not this account, though!) I upload my art process; timelapse/speedpaints. How-to's of drawing the head, hand, anatomy, etc. All centered around anime. I'm very much interested in art as I am in gardening. But I would like to make my gardening a pastime while drawing for a career.
I want to start an environment and endangered animals club at my school, but I'm not sure if that would be seen as too cliché? I love helping people and spending time in nature and puzzles. I'm thinking of starting a group where people could ask for help from students in my high school and anyone available could help them out with anything they need. I want to get into puzzles but I'm not sure how. I just have a couple box puzzles in my room and can't find anything nearby that isn't jigsaw-puzzle based, and there's not really any awards to win in box puzzles and other physical puzzles unlike rubiks cubes. My school already has a board game club and I don't think the school would allow me to create a club like the puzzle one because I'd have to tell them why it's important but it's just something fun I like to do. I think these sound too common and seem like something anyone would say and do but I really do like helping people! If I continue like this would you think this would be okay? I'm not too sure what I could do with this.
1) your club idea is not cliche but you need to develop more your club idea 2) it's okay to do things for fun. You don't have to win awards at everything
I heard that career-oriented extracurriculars can hurt college application. I won international business competition, and now I am a coach in this program, mentoring other students and doing some managing work. Is it good for my application?
Hi! I've been interested in learning languages since I was very young, starting with French. I tried my hand at learning a lot of languages, each for many months with a few hours of dedication per day: French, Chinese, Japanese, German, and Korean. I can now speak pretty conversational German, and I'm trying to improve my other skills. I did this all by myself, out of my love and interest for all things language. My question is: does this actually count? Do self-studied foreign languages count? Will it benefit me more if I take proficiency tests such as the CEFR tests?
Hello, So I’m really into art and currently I’m a part of an art oriented nonprofit, and starting my own business of selling my paintings and teaching. Im also starting a small Instagram to support youth hiking, which I hope to turn into a nonprofit that can help introduce underprivileged children to the joy of hiking. I can say that I’m not just doing this for college and it’s something I’m actually interested in, but how would it look on a résumé? Btw I’m in 10th grade in Washington.
I’m a public high school student and my school doesn’t offer ANY AP classes. This is my junior year and I’ve decided to take 8 Honors classes. My high school doesn’t offer many INTERESTING clubs/extracurricular activities. I am a Cross Country and Track/ Field athlete. I am also a member of FBLA club at my school. I have a few prestigious schools on my list but I don’t think I have enough to even offer up! Can you give me any advice?
Can u please answer me. I got many certificates from my school. Such as art competition. Like from junior grade till my last year of high school. Will it be useful . Please answer me. I will be really grateful to u. Thanku
I'm interested in dentistry and its my passion. I might want to create a club medical/dental related,or maybe start a non-profit. I want my passion to have an impact in my community. Any ideas?
I have two questions. So i'm not from the USA (I'm from Europe) and here, due to that we don't have to apply to universities you can just go if you graduated, we never had to pay any further attention to "good" EC. I always did many EC but I never won any awards or was in any supercool rankings. I will graduate in two years and I wonder if I have any chance to get into an ivy when I start so "late" with deepening my passions. And my second question is: do American universities like to see gap years or is it a disadvantage? I
I live in a city in America very college driven. Believe me, universities here are not a determining factor for your overall success in life. Aside from that, getting into an Ivy League here is a real 50/50 shot honestly. Many people will tell you that you need certain grades or extracurricular to get in, but even people who check all the boxes are not even considered just because there are too many applications to sift through. Also, for students that are not citizens of America, it is a whole other difficult process and an even slimmer admission rate. Starting late/gap year will not put you at any disadvantage, as long as you are smart. It’s the other things that might. But take ur chances. Now this is all for Ivy League schools btw. If your interested in universities here that are not as prestigious that’s another story.
I have a question. I really like Physics I studied it 4 years at school and still exploring, I, myself teach juniors. And now when I want to apply for college I am hesitant that I don't really have anything else to share. Is it a big problem that I have 1-2 APs? Is there any way to make my resume better? Please help I am in panic for not knowing what to do😞🙏
Make U-tube video Chanel with those Physics problems and put out a lot of videos for all kids to share. The same exact ones as those juniors and connect that to your area of interest or Join Julie’s program-get ideas once a month at least.
I have a question for anyone willing to help me out. I am in a dual credit high school program with about 90 other students from the school district in my class. So by the time I graduate I’ll have my associates degree from UNM. However I don’t go to the high school physically and don’t take their classes. So I have no AP Classes. I also have a hard time taking extra curricularlars. I am only a sophomore right now so I still have time. So my question is how will this effect my chances of going to a top college? Any tips on what I should do that will help me out making it easier for myself in the future? Thank you 😁
I was just like you. You do internships and programs within your interests until you find great success and passion within a certain discipline or field. Then focus on that.
Hi ma'am, I love your channel. I just have one doubt. My dream school is MIT but I am passionate about any good school. But being from a country like India, I was not exposed to much competitions and extracurriculars. That is until my 10th grade when I changed school to one which is compatible with US college admissions. Now, because 10th/sophmore is a very important academic year for us students, my new school adviced the students to refrain from taking part in many competitions and focus on studies. Because my curriculum is new, I had to study. So I have only 11th and 12th (junior and senior respectively) remaining and I don't believe the extracurricular achievements I have: which are on school level, are that impressive, even though I have a fair amount. I do have a chance to take part in huge competitions and creating a passion project but the time remaining is less. Should I be worried about getting into my dream school, or should I just go with the flow and grab every opportunity I have? Thank you
hey, i am from india as well. i was just curious can i know about your progress until now. also even i am trying for a good collage in US. but i didnt invest my any time in some extra cirriculars. even though I am a national level karate player and my father can arrange me a research assistantship but i am not sure is that all enough. during my 9th and 10th there was pandemic so nothing much to do. during 11 i spent my time on sports and in 12 i am enrolled in allen kota, so there was no summer holidays for me to focus on extra cirriculars . academically i am a very good student but the extra cirricular part scares the shit out of me.

Many people dont say this is right but I am worrying about uni at age 12 :/ should i be worried? Well I am not in a bad postion when it comes to academic and extracurricular activites. But is it wrong?
Murimi Muchina it’s not wrong at all! Uni can be stressful and it’s okay to strive for it. But don’t feel too stressed because you should still enjoy your life/childhood ☺️
It’s not you that has done anything wrong. It’s just the pressure that society puts onto young kids. I ask you, if you follow this so called path, will you really be happy? I mean getting good grades is supposed to get u into a great college right? And then you go off on an amazing career? And your life breezes by with 401ks and new cars. Sure you may never have to worry about paying the bills, but ask yourself deep down is that the life u want? I mean it is predictable and opulent which brings some sort of comfort, but will you be happy? Nothing against you, but you are 12 years old and should not decide what will make you happy 20 years from now. Enjoy your life while you still got it. Princeton may make you happy, but spending time in your friends backyard is the most you need to worry abt right now.
Hello, Mam That was a very informative video. i want to get scholarship in BS English. could you help me to suggest me some extracurricular activities.Thank you
Please reply....I have completed two courses on 'Reacitation and presentation style(Bangla)' and Singing....I am a science lover but I didn't get any opportunity to participate in any science fair or so...I love to learn new languages. Currently I am in class 9 and I won't get any opportunity to participate in science realted programmes till I get in class 11. I have got some short courses of programming, graphics design, etc. I love doing all of them.I mean my skills are not dedicated in one direction...😥. What should I do now? should I go for science related activities or leave them when I pass class 10....plzzzzz...help me...plzzzzzz
@@GA1A_ I don't even have that option. Because, In here usually classes are not held properly but we have to do these classes so, we have to do extra classes. We spend 10 hours in school (7:00 am to 5:00 pm)...so, I get a very less time to sleep and study.....not all the schools are like this but govt. and famous schools are like this😥
oh man, sorry about that! if you have summer breaks or any breaks in general, you could make a youtube channel that talks about science and all the new things and breakthroughs that are occurring in the scientific world. don’t worry, you’ll be able to think of something eventually, but try to make sure you genuinely enjoy it
Where you went to college or what job you work at doesn’t define you. I have seen doctors who graduated from Harvard and lack and social skills or compassion. I feel like I’m talking to a robot. Is that a personality?
@@hiba5483 it’s the same as what ivy leagues believe in, school should be a top priority yeah but students should also have a life outside of academics and can have passions. If they take their status so seriously that it’s their only personality then they aren’t fit for an Ivy League where they advocate for opposite of exactly that
I'm planning on majoring in polisci what classes should I take freshman year ? My school offers ap world ap Lang apush and ap calc we also offer dual enrollment what would be best for my intended major ? Should I even take an ap class?
Hi! I’m an 11th Grade Student from the Philippines and I’m really interested on applying to an Ivy School. Considering I don’t have sports nor do I play instruments and I’m Asian, is there any chance that I can make this up? I won a national competition at a Science Research and I’m a consistent Math Olympiad from 1st Grade until 10th Grade. I want to enter pre-med too. Thanks.
I can get a research opportunity in Renewable Energy +for that I would have some knowledge which I can gain by MOOC) but I want to major in CS? If I do that, will it help me getting in Universities?
Ideally (if you want your academics to be a huge point of leverage for your app). But if not, there could be an area of passion that you want to highlight specifically as a theme in your app and your extracurriculars can more so revolve around that. My suggestion is have some ECs that show you're academically strong in a specific niche area, and then some that demonstrate UNIQUE and DEEP passion that manifests in IMPACT.
I want to help people somehow. I'm very interested in psychology. I like the idea of helping children in dangerous or abusive situations. I also like the idea of helping pregnant mothers who feel like they have no hope.
@@farihaahmed942 i can try that since im planning on joining an American curriculum by highschool, but are the interships available for international students?
December 2025/January 2026 if you're applying RD, November 2025 if you're going for REA. Also, you're in 7th grade rn (cuz I'm in Class of 22 and I'm in my junior year and you're 4 years younger than me obv) so I suggest you try out as many ECs as you can in the next couple of years, so that you can continue with what you love in the last two years of HS.
@@beautifulsoul5744 you're welcome! Also, I got thought you were in 7th grade cuz from your sentence it kinda seems that you're applying for fall session of 2026 which would make you Class of '30. My bad lol
Is going to Harvard for undergrad worth it for a science course or should I stay in India and try to get into IIT then go to US for post graduate course.
@@gorgeousblossom5nap938 I built a portfolio of a ton of projects, and I told them that in my cover letter. I sent the cover letter to a few small but stable companies, and edited it for each company. I got 2 returns, and 1 of them offered a payed internship so I accepted.

Can anyone tell me if I can get accepted to Cornell with this marks: Class 9 - 49% Class 10 - 74% Class 11 - 60% Class 12 - 93.75% I am really worried for my acceptance and I think they would reject me for my grades. I am also an Indian Student But in EC I had---- Been Vice captain of my House team, Worked in 2 NGOs, Represented my school in various competition , ranked 5th from my Grade 12 batch in final exams, Anchored various events in my school , got 1st division in Dance competitions,completed 5 years in classical dance. Sociology would be majors. Still i have no hopes of getting accepted. Please tell me, do I have any chances of getting into it?
Your grades aren't that hot, but if you can write up an amazing common app essay and get great recommendation letters, you have chances. Slim possibility or not, a possibility is still a possibility.
In other words, don’t say that you’re passionate, show that you’re passionate

I have got some short courses of programming, graphics design, etc. I love doing all of them.I mean my skills are not dedicated in one direction...😥. What should I do now? should I go for science related activities or leave them when I pass class 10....plzzzzz...help me...plzzzzzz
you should tutor little kids who are interested in science
@@GA1A_ I don't even have that option. Because, In here usually classes are not held properly but we have to do these classes so, we have to do extra classes. We spend 10 hours in school (7:00 am to 5:00 pm)...so, I get a very less time to sleep and study.....not all the schools are like this but govt. and famous schools are like this😥
oh man, sorry about that! if you have summer breaks or any breaks in general, you could make a youtube channel that talks about science and all the new things and breakthroughs that are occurring in the scientific world. don’t worry, you’ll be able to think of something eventually, but try to make sure you genuinely enjoy it
@@GA1A_ I was also thinking about that.....by the way, thanks for your sujjession😇. Do you have instagram accout? We might contact there.
Swarup's Kids' Pedia sorry i do not use social media. i wish you good luck with your college journey, good bye
Why do I feel like where you went to college is your biggest personality trait
It is for many people and it is not a good thing. They just think that it should be or something it's sad but okay ig
Silentil who says it’s not a good thing? it’s a great thing because they worked hard for it. they deserve it.
@@hiba5483 Yeah, but as the biggest personality trait, naw
Where you went to college or what job you work at doesn’t define you. I have seen doctors who graduated from Harvard and lack and social skills or compassion. I feel like I’m talking to a robot. Is that a personality?
@@hiba5483 it’s the same as what ivy leagues believe in, school should be a top priority yeah but students should also have a life outside of academics and can have passions. If they take their status so seriously that it’s their only personality then they aren’t fit for an Ivy League where they advocate for opposite of exactly that
I'm planning on majoring in polisci what classes should I take freshman year ? My school offers ap world ap Lang apush and ap calc we also offer dual enrollment what would be best for my intended major ? Should I even take an ap class?
Hi! I’m an 11th Grade Student from the Philippines and I’m really interested on applying to an Ivy School. Considering I don’t have sports nor do I play instruments and I’m Asian, is there any chance that I can make this up? I won a national competition at a Science Research and I’m a consistent Math Olympiad from 1st Grade until 10th Grade. I want to enter pre-med too. Thanks.
How's it going Matthew
I can get a research opportunity in Renewable Energy +for that I would have some knowledge which I can gain by MOOC) but I want to major in CS?
If I do that, will it help me getting in Universities?
Definitely! (I know this answer is late but this could help people reading the comments)
"You have the best GPAs"...
I have 3.66 GPA and shooting for Brown😢
Yeah, uh..
Good luck
You’ll definitely make it
@@Jendkapclmw stop the cap
do your extracurriculars have to align with your intended major
Ideally (if you want your academics to be a huge point of leverage for your app). But if not, there could be an area of passion that you want to highlight specifically as a theme in your app and your extracurriculars can more so revolve around that. My suggestion is have some ECs that show you're academically strong in a specific niche area, and then some that demonstrate UNIQUE and DEEP passion that manifests in IMPACT.
BSFifaGaming that’s really constructive advice! definitely keeping it in mind.
No absolutely not
What is your interest? passion? Share them with us!
I have a passion for coding
@@murimimuchina855 you should definitely take AP compsci in highschool and do an internship with a tech company like Microsoft or Google
I want to help people somehow. I'm very interested in psychology. I like the idea of helping children in dangerous or abusive situations. I also like the idea of helping pregnant mothers who feel like they have no hope.
@@farihaahmed942 i can try that since im planning on joining an American curriculum by highschool, but are the interships available for international students?
@@arilulu4083 thats a great approach
How can I explore my love about learning languages without being tutoring??
Go to a competition, idk, brain storm ideas
Learn more languages, travel to places where they speak it(if that's possible for you), and try to find out why you love learning languages.
I'm also passionate about learning languages :))
sooo having my own beauty business is an extracurricular?
Yes
Absolutely
if we need to apply for the 2026 year at Harvard, when should we apply?
December 2025/January 2026 if you're applying RD, November 2025 if you're going for REA. Also, you're in 7th grade rn (cuz I'm in Class of 22 and I'm in my junior year and you're 4 years younger than me obv) so I suggest you try out as many ECs as you can in the next couple of years, so that you can continue with what you love in the last two years of HS.
@@JustAnotherLokiStan thank u so much..and btw i am in 10th grade now
@@beautifulsoul5744 you're welcome! Also, I got thought you were in 7th grade cuz from your sentence it kinda seems that you're applying for fall session of 2026 which would make you Class of '30. My bad lol
@@beautifulsoul5744 so basically you have to apply in the winter of the year before the session you're hoping to apply for
How to find what I am passionate about??
Find what you love to do
Could I just do an internship instead of volunteering to get into an Ivy League?
Is going to Harvard for undergrad worth it for a science course or should I stay in India and try to get into IIT then go to US for post graduate course.
go to Harvard for undergrad....anytime...here it from an Indian.
you india you lose
ham6ter oh my
harvard for undergrad
definitely go to IIT and then Harvard for grad school(MBA), my uncles took that exact path and now lead artificial intellligence at Amazon
Look at the research, it makes no difference as to which college you attend. Majority of the captains of fortune 500 companies are lower tier schools.

Daniel Ochoa bro what does bts have to do with this??
I'm interested in Computer Science. I recently got an internship at a startup paying $8.00 an hour. I'm 14.
ok
How in the world did you? Im also 14 and i don't know how to start on my extracurriculars.... Can you tell how you got the internship?
@@gorgeousblossom5nap938 I built a portfolio of a ton of projects, and I told them that in my cover letter. I sent the cover letter to a few small but stable companies, and edited it for each company. I got 2 returns, and 1 of them offered a payed internship so I accepted.
@@Emily-fm7pt thats great! Unfortunately i live in india so there are not many internships or opportunities for extracurriculars. But im still hoping to start some of my extracurriculars from next year! Hope ill get into my dream school
Im sure you will! Keep going
Is bullet journaling considered an extracurricular?
Thank you so much for helping us,I have some questions may you send me you email
My academic is poor so can I aiming for Harvard?
Aim big.
First improve your english
Can anyone tell me if I can get accepted to Cornell with this marks:
Class 9 - 49%
Class 10 - 74%
Class 11 - 60%
Class 12 - 93.75%
I am really worried for my acceptance and I think they would reject me for my grades.
I am also an Indian Student
But in EC I had---- Been Vice captain of my House team, Worked in 2 NGOs, Represented my school in various competition , ranked 5th from my Grade 12 batch in final exams, Anchored various events in my school , got 1st division in Dance competitions,completed 5 years in classical dance.
Sociology would be majors.
Still i have no hopes of getting accepted.
Please tell me, do I have any chances of getting into it?
Your grades aren't that hot, but if you can write up an amazing common app essay and get great recommendation letters, you have chances. Slim possibility or not, a possibility is still a possibility.
