How to Get Into Columbia | The #1 Video You Need to Watch

Now Columbia is unique in that it’s one of the only top colleges to clearly articulate the 5 key points it wants students to hit in their application. Honestly, I wish other schools did this so props to Columbia admissions for making this so crystal clear...

This video was fantastic! Can you make a video on UChicago. A video on Caltech would also be unbelievably appreciated. I’m a rising senior right now and I more than have the numbers, I just need to lock in my essays and phrase my ECs to stand out.

[@elevatedschool]

We definitely could do an in-depth video on UChicago and Caltech soon, but we do have one Short on UChicago on our channel if that helps!
