I truly think this is one of the most impactful and interesting videos I've seen in a long time! Thank you so much for taking the time to make sense of all of this and share it with the world :) I'm a high school junior right now who also has a background in research (starting in freshman year with primarily self-directed projects), and I can't tell you how informative--but even more inspiring--it was to hear about your application and story. Reading about your passion for the field (and the start to your project) gives me the motivation to continue working hard and keep dreaming big for the future. Thank you!!!!!
@@jerrywei03 Great video! You should do that, that would be really nice, talk more about your essays and ECs and the thought process behind them and why you chose to write about what you wrote about
Hi Jerry, this video was truly insightful. It really demystified and clarified the black box that is college admissions. I’m currently a rising senior. I’m also interested in generative language modeling and machine learning. I’ve done Andrew Ng’s deep learning specialization and got a certificate and Ive participated in a coding camp for AI and built a project. Because of my Grandma’s dementia, I also have an interest in cognitive science, which will be another component in my application.I know that there isn’t much time left, but can I do to boost my intellectual vitality between now and November? There’s only two months left
where did you go for your elementary and middle school? Do you think is there any big difference between public and private schools in our school district? My son will go to Oakton too. So proud to have you and hope you have a bright college life at Stanford.
Thanks for watching! I went to Hunters Woods and Rachel Carson - I'm not sure of any difference between public and private schools since I didn't attend private schools.
Jerry, thank you so much for this super detailed review!!! It is ao helpful! May I ask you, how do they know that you took Algebra 1 honors in 6th grade? Normally, at least in the common app, one is allowed to list classes and activities only taken in high school. Where did you fi d a place on the application to mention the 6th grade math?
Hi there! So I believe that your transcript will show all high-school level classes that you've taken (at least in my school system), which means that since Algebra 1 Honors was a high-school level class, it would show up on my transcript. However, all of the other classes that I took in sixth grade would not have shown up because they were not high-school level classes.
Hi Jerry! You can get an access into Cardinal Quad only if you accepted the admission letter, correct? If you have not accepted it yet, can you still get an access as well?
Hi Jerry, I'm a freshman at Oakton HS, I was wondering if you had any tips on maximizing my chances of getting into Stanford since it is my dream school. Furthermore, in your experience what teachers did you find gave you the best LOR's and could you share any tips on maximizing your weighted GPA at Oakton.
Hi! Happy to help - I think any advice I could give would be dependent on individual circumstances, so feel free to private message me (DM, email, etc.). Thanks for watching!
probably just like having some knowledge about or background in the work they do and making sure to utilize any connections to professors that you might have.
@@jerrywei03 hey im thinking of submitting a paper to ACL NLP for social impact workshop, will be SUPER grateful if you could create a video on conducting independent research in area of CL and how you yourself went about it, thanks!!
schools should be forced to release the stats of all of their admissions after admitting to their multi-decade bias scandal. frankly there's no reason human being should be determining who gets in anyways it should be up to an algorithm.
Hey! Thank you so much for this video! I am a junior in high school and was wondering if I could dm you for some advice on how to get into Stanford? I can't find your Instagram however.
Your parents must be so proud of you! Your presentation is very informational an impressive
Glad you enjoyed the video!
you're a massive help man, appreciate how much effort you put in making it so detailed
Thanks for the very in-depth video-you fr built different 😩😳

Happy to hear that you found the video inspiring!
I'm inspired. I'm currently in 10th grade and I hope I can pilot myself to emulate your work ethic. 🇯🇲
Hey! You’re truly inspiring! Can you make a video presenting your full college app (especially ECs & awards)? Thank you!
Thanks for watching! My full college app is linked in the description - are you asking if I can do analysis/discussion on it in a separate video?
@@jerrywei03 Great video!
You should do that, that would be really nice, talk more about your essays and ECs and the thought process behind them and why you chose to write about what you wrote about
Please upload more videos!!! That'd be a very great help for us.
Wow! Looks like you were the one who got the highest GPA in your school!
My son's interview is tomorrow. I like your presentation. I can see why you got in lol
This is an absolutely fantastic resource, thank you so much!

I think GC is guidance counselor and MD is multidisciplinary. Thanks for the great video :)
I don't know about GC but MD is most demanding my counselor told me.
or most difficult
@@sophiathephirst i think it might be "most demanding"
how did you get such thorough information in 20 minutes? Amazing
Thanks for the sharing. It helps a lot. Greatly appreciate it.
amazingly detailed explanation on your application
could you review your commonapp essay? It would be a great help for my essay writing rn ❤ congrats on acceptance :)
Is there anything in particular you wanted me to go over? My essays are linked in the description in case viewing them would be helpful!
The best of such type of video. Thank you!

Thank you so much for making this informative video. This is the best and most thorough video on the admissions file I’ve seen. Do you offer tutoring?
I'd be happy to answer any questions you have! Feel free to ask me questions over socials like instagram :)
@@jerrywei03 Thank you for your offer! Where can we find you on instagram?
@@thepianokid7870 I think you should be able to find me on Instagram as Jerry Wei with Stanford in the bio!

very interesting! as a high school junior in the bay area, this is very informative, and wow nice job!

Pretty sure + is better than - ? Meaning 2+ is better than 2

@@jerrywei03 Do you have an email I can reach out to or any other social media account where you would prefer me to contact you through.
You can use my stanford email or DM me on Instagram, either is fine!
this was sooo helpful, tysm!!
u the man bro! thanks for the great vid and hope to see you in stanford 2027
Congratulations 🎊
We are SAT score twins, with sub score as well lol. Congrats on your admit!! What a strong application.
amazing job !
GC is probably Guidance Counselor?
i would guess GC confirms is "Guidance Counselor" but could be anything
do you have any tips on getting research/interning under a professor?
probably just like having some knowledge about or background in the work they do and making sure to utilize any connections to professors that you might have.
Can you please make a video on you awards and ecs?
I can't believe you are Jason Wei's brother
No way there’s a fellow asian powerlifters!?!? If I win IPF worlds for the 16-17 age class, should that be part of my application?
I think that would be great to add to your application!
oakton hs in northern va?
yep!
I feel like my ecs and essays are similar (if not better), but I got straight rejected in the REA round :(
Sure they were 💀
Are you doing any more videos?
what types of videos would be most helpful?

gc might be guidance counselor?
Could be! Though I don't know how my guidance counselor would have confirmed this
beautiful
insane
