Reading my Stanford Supplemental Essays | Stanford Shorties
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 авг 2020
- TWO APOLOGIES ARE DUE. First, I know I said once every Tuesday but I get stuck up editing these videos for way longer than I planned. I'm also on a trip right now with really terrible connection that made it almost impossible to upload the video. Second, I forgot my wind filter on the shotgun mic so the audio turns from average to downright mute worthy in the middle. I tried to subtitle the video wherever I felt it was necessary so I HOPE THAT HELPS!!
With that out of the way, these are the college essays that got accepted at Stanford! They are my Stanford supplemental essays (or Stanford shorties, as I like to call them). They range from - what would you do if you had an extra hour in the day, to what are you looking forward at Stanford.
I give a few pieces of advice in this video but honestly, essay writing is so subjective you could do the complete opposite of what I suggest and still find yourself sitting at Stanford in a year - maybe with me, since I'm now taking a gap year. Anyways, that's been my rant, see you next week :)
I'm aware this is a really long video, and I'm the first person to click off when I see a count exceed ten minutes, but I would only publish this if I thought it was worth the seconds spent.
If you found this video helpful and informative share it with everyone you know.
Relevancy dies in a heartbeat, and I would love to sustain this channel in the long run. Every subscriber counts and it really means the world if you were one of them.

HI. Okay real quick before I go for dinner. DON'T WATCH THIS WITH HEADPHONES, I forgot to take my camera mic's wind filter with me on my trip (vlog coming soon) so the audio can become quite fatal to the ears. Also, take all the advice lightly because essays are super subjective, and you could literally do the opposite of what I say and still maybe get in (building donations are a sure shot method). Lastly, like the video, comment down below your thoughts, and SUBSCRIBEEEE :) Bye
just use denoise on premiere pro..
liked the video, been a subscriber, feeling like a wizard. LOVE your content.
@@VapTex Will do next time - I didn't know about this!!!

@@ShauryaSinha what's this...."F" I didn't get it😂😂😂😂😂
I am gonna go Google it RN
F - FACTS ! I guess so. This is what we use.
@@shwetajethwa7947 thank you so much for helping me....but Google tells me that "F" apparently is used to pay respects on internet....and here I thought it was some weird word emoji....I mean I am gen Z and I didn't know this...shame on me....besides if he wanted to write "Facts" its just four more words he could've typed it😂😂😂😂😂
But whatever I learned something new today....all thanks to the great Shaurya.... May you keep teaching me more gen Z slangs and Lingos😂
these answers are amazing!! i especially liked the 5 words to describe you answer because you could either do something really basic or something special
Thanks so much Michelle!! I'm so happy you liked themm
this was super helpful :)) and now i’m convinced you have magical abilities that you show through your kickass writing skills
Hhahahaha I have 0 magical abilities thanks
Shaurya Sinha definitely something a person hiding their magic would say hehe but you’re welcome
Shaurya: How do you like the view?
I like the view, you're my best view.

Thank you my motivator is back...
Thought you forgot!
One day you are going to be very famous bro. You are true inspiration.
Your videos are so helpful!!!
Hey shaurya, I have been watching your videos for sometime now. I have nothing to do with anything you talk about. I am infact currently working right now. Even then I find your videos amazing and infact insightful.
love your vids!
Shaurya Sinha, it's my dream to get into Stanford and you are the one who has motivated me to work harder. Thank you 🙂
Those answers were so great man! How much time did you take to come up with those, especially the "describe yourself in 5 words"?! Idk if that sounds weird but, It makes me so happy that this world has you:)
Wow!
Great essays.
I kinda guessed the five words since you've put them as your Medium bio
I'm currently in 9th grade and your videos are damn helpful
@@ushmilrimjha3987 yeah I'm in 11 and even I didn't have any extra curricular activities as such but shaurya inspired me so much ! Now I'm remotely working with two non profits!
I thought you were kidding when u said you're on a vacation.
Also, Love the video!!
Seeing your video makes me feel full of Neuvo and you are one of kind Tierno guy and your videos make me feel full of Bongga🙂
I have no clue what 3 words mean but I'm hoping they're sweet :)
Nuevo=always fresh
Tierno=gentle and affectionate
Bongga=stylish, and flamboyant
Thanks a lot for sharing your successful essays ❤️❤️❤️
shaurya!!! thanks for the videos buddy! they are really really helping me...also like 30% gang:)
I didn't read this and watched it with earphones. I can't hear my mom yell at me now, so thank you
Every time i watch your video i get motivated to study
OMG! They were so good!
Hi man , please do a jee vs SAT video
Ya this is a really good idea
Hey shaurya! Can you please do a video about your study schedule while you were preparing for sat..and also I love your videos:) waiting for more!!
Can u make a video on, how u got internships in your school days. That'll be really helpful
Thank you so much for sharing!
Crazy helpful!! Thankyouuu
Holy crap dude that was some diplomatic English there.
Hey Im in grade 9.
Do you think I can write something like that easlily in the future?
Cool video man. So I am also not expecting anything coming Tuesday ig... Anyways, could you please brief us on how you approached international colleges and the common app throughout highschool.
Hey Shaurya! A study motivation guide for Ivy aspirants will be appreciated. And maybe how to nail that 100%. Honestly, I have no idea what I wanna do in life, I don't know what subject I'm interested in and am pretty much terrified. :(( How can you possibly study so much when you don't feel in synch or interested in the subject at all?
Shaurya !! I am literally interested to know how did you actually started SPECTRAVERSE (like teaming up, consultant etc)
Pls make video if that sounds good
Well I was astonished that your brother didn't interrupt you in beginning it is actually fun to watch both of you 😅😂
It was 7 am, Agastya was naturally.... sleeping
@@ShauryaSinhaok
P.s. come on doesn't mean if you are not a morning person, he also isn't 😂😂
Btw sent you a connection request on LinkedIn, do check once if possible.
oh man I dmed you so much as a fellow Indian about the procedure to join ivy league schools, I look up to this person a lot.
thanks Shaurya I'm glad to know that if going to upload it videos on Tuesday's☺☺☺
Shaurya: reading Stanford supplement essays that got him in
Has USC sticker on his laptop....
We hope they don't watch this vid👀
*this guy is great, but lol I'm not applying to stanford but still watching all your vids*
I appreciate it :))
Same... i think the only reason I watch his videos is because he is a great person:)✌🏻🔥
Are all classes online? and do you know when they open next?
also did you pay the normal price or was there a lesser price due to the online classes
I watch these videos and reflect on my life. Everything I did wrong. I'm jealous ahhhhh. *Frustration intensifies*
Hey Shaurya, I run a non-profit but do I need to register that and if yes then where could I register that. I am a bit confused about this so can you pls help
can you make a video about the things on your bucket list for college? Or something like that...
Thanku for sharing your essay......love you way of speaking...♥️
you seem like such a great person :]
Thanks your discourses are helpful 👍👏
Hey Shaurya ,
Did you use the "50 Stanford Application Essays" book to have an idea of how to write essays and the ideas revolving around it and if you did the was it helpful?
I bought it, personally didn't like it, half of the essays were eh
could you please make a video on whether to apply early decision or early action or regular decision? how did you decide? thanks:)
Hey buddy make a video on English Speaking that you are really good at. The way you speak is phenomenal. So share some tips that can help us to be as fluent as you are.
👍
Another person from the 30% stan is back XD
But hey ! I'm impressed
Shaurya, you did it again
These videos are so helpful! P.S. I'm from Gurgaon as well *Suncity School*
I absolutely lovee your editing style and adore that font you use. Very retro! Is that cooper black or questa by any chance?
It's neither :)) keep guessing
@@ShauryaSinha Haha this is tough! Kinda looks like Souvenir Bold or maybe even Bookman. But the e's and i's are a bit different. Now I'm even more curious to know XD
@@ShauryaSinha ✨Barricada?✨
How do you deal with the word limit?? I mean, I always end up writing too much and it's annoying. I just have so many ideas and thoughts!! So, how to figure out which one is the best ??
I usually write 30-40 words extra. You really need to learn how to edit them down to it's absolute core
hey shaurya, did you remove your stanford essay video where you talk about your SOP and the roommate essay? I remember watching it, but cannot find it right now? Anyone else know about it?
Hey Shaurya, I too run a non profit organization but do I need to register that because before starting that I read several things and one of them was that if you want to get financial aid for your work then you should register but I don't need any such aid. I am a bit confused. Please help
love how the laptop has a USC sticker XD
Shaurya from where did you get those cool stickers on your MacBook?
Heyyyy....gimme tips for landing a research internship. Something OTHER than cold messaging on LinkedIn?? BTW huge fan!!
+1
@@Vanshikacx +2
You definitely came from curious harish's video.
Right?
saransh h who is that?
Same even I need the same advice. If possible then shaurya, pls make a vid on how to apply for internships and how to find research opportunities.
And BTW I'm a bigger fan 😜😁
Hey ! Can you also read out your UC personal insight questions........ considering your admit into UCLA and Berkeley. It would be really helpful... Thanks :)
7:02 lol cause I just finished my design thinking program at Dartmouth. And the professor used to teach design thinking at Standford. I'm Ed'ing Dartmouth this fall and hope I get in.
Also how tf do you think you find those interesting anecdotes like "f and j", "apple place there laptops at an uncomfortable angle", "discovery of irrational numbers"
Would love to see your brainstorming process for essay ideas.
Making something special dw I'll share all of my processes
@@ShauryaSinha ooooo can't wait for it!!
dude I've been watching u for quite a while now and Stanford has been my dream school forever now, after watching ur EC's vid I feel like I'm so screwed, I'm in the 10th grade and all I've got is a couple MUNs and I play the ukulele, I really want to start a small business that'll help raise money but my parents want me to focus on boards (yk what it's like) help a desperate Indian out!
3 years is more than enough time to get everything together. You got this!!!
Hey man! I just wanted to say that I felt the exact same way as you sophomore year! I also wanted to go for these top schools but didn’t feel competitive enough. You’re only a sophomore, meaning you have so much time to build your EC’s. Just trust and keep building passionate EC’s and by the time you apply you’ll have enough!
@@martinlacsamana7534 did u get into your dream school tho!
@@simranpanda672 The concept of a dream school is overrated, trust me. While it's always motivating to have one definite goal in mind when working towards your college applications the reality is everything is uncertain. I couldn't have predicted for certainty where I'd end up, and now that I know, I couldn't be happier. Just trust yourself to go all the way, and watch the rest follow :)
@@ShauryaSinha shit that means a lot to me, I mean yea that's a different way to look at the entire process, one that I haven't quite considered, takes a lot of pressure off the whole thing yk. Shaurya Sinha u inspire me, keep up the good work man I'm excited to see you do great things! :')
P.s when u moving to cali!
Shaurya your voice did reach to Parrot 🦜, they even listened to you! 😂
I loved the video
Please discuss about what should I do about my extra curriculars because I am in 12th and after 7 months or so I'll be applying for colleges. ( I really suck at curriculars)
I really want you to answer this
Heyoo, im right now in 9th, I would just like to know where I can do the sat and act Tests and when I should do it, like should I prep early from 9th or a lil late like from 10th?
And if you did take act or sat, where did u take them?,
Lemme know :'))
I'm in 9th too and I've been solving many practise papers...My parents keep telling me that I shouldn't prepare this early but I think that the sooner the better...
P.S. I can't sleep knowing that I haven't done everything I can to reach my goals...
Hey Shauyra,
Doing great work, keep it up.
Please make a video on how to be more articulate, especially regarding to college essays. I read a lot but I think I have work more on my vocabulary. If anyone who's reading it has tips, please right. Would be really appreciated, Thanks, Peace.
hey bhaiya , i wanted to know if you applied to colleges on your own like without any consultants or anything. if not then who was your consultant(s)
Very helpful!!
Thank you!!!
ALSO HOW DID YOUR ENGLISH GET THIS GOOD? TIPS PLEASE.
can you tell how or through whom did you connect to get into stanford like how you got all the required information ,form filling ,mentor or through agency can you share the contact or website because i found it hard to do all of it by myself and i am not getting all the required informaion on google can you help me out
Shaurya when is the duke interview coming out?
Yah he's back again!!
I had a doubt I wrote a really good essay (in my opinion ) which had large and difficult words but many of my essay readers said it's difficult to read. What should I do?
I wrote another and it was liked by more people but had very simple words.
What should I do ?
Words can be taken out and put back in. Just make sure the idea of the essay is liked rather than the language. That said, don't put too many hard words if you don't feel like that's how you naturally write.
@@ShauryaSinha thanks a lot for the advice man! Appreciate it.
That audio slaps though
Loved it😊☝️
Shaurya, I'm also a happily dissatisfied student of high school. So what can I do in quarantine to increase my productivity with my macbook? I also want work more and more possible😊😊
I am 3 rd year engineering student, can any one suggest some ideas or strategy to improve English speaking and vocabulary. I read some articles of hindu and indian express daily and i try to read some books. Right know i am reading nationalism by ravindranath tagore (basically i don't like non fiction books, i like history books, politics, autobiography of leaders, science.
Hey Shaurya, I'm in town 10th and major in computer science! But I'm getting research opportunity in Sustainable Resources, will that help me??
Depends, are you dead set on majoring in comp sci?
Bro tell something about scholarships in detail for batch of 2020-21 as SAT's and ACT's scores are dropped for this batch
Stanford is my dream school.Thanks to you Shaurya, I'm totally determined now. You truly impress me and inspire me.
