      I would like to hear about scholarships and summer programs that i could take while school is out. I just started ninth grade this year and it’s very difficult to keep a 4.0 gpa and i was wondering if you had some tools on how to boost your gpa as well. Thank you, I love your videos!

      it's okay, take hard classes though and do the classes you like to do with passion, if you plan on attending prestigious schools they don't wanna see what you think they wanna see, they wanna see passion and commitment for something you like to do, still take hard classes and reach for hard goals and extracurriculars. they also want unique people, what makes you YOU! then again the acedemic pool is very impressive and after looking at this video you get a clear idea of how far applicants will go to get accepted to their dream school. even though it sets a goal for yourself that you should reach. ivies and Stanford aren't all about the acedemic they're also about character too (leadership skills, good examples, willing to learn, etc.) if you do plan on I too look at past year common app essay, universal college essays, etc. to see what made them outshine other applicants, such as a hard time in your life that made you grow (poverty, moving different countries, etc) okay but in general work as hard as you can and just be yourself. the skies the limit!

    You wanna know something I appreciate? She actually engages with the camera and talks with excitement. Most "College Decision Reaction" videos they just use that annoying sort-of strained voice with the over the top editing and say stuff along the lines of "Oh, that's cool I got into Harvard. Oh, I didn't get into MIT? That's because I'm an idiot *zoom in on face with gray filter on lol." You're the best :)

    I wish I had the time to do all of those extracurricular activities and such when I just immigrated to the US 9 months ago as a 10th Grader. I came here having no idea how the education system works and started my Sophomore year late because of our flight schedule. My previous school had no idea how to handle an immigrant from the Philippines and never even let me took a PSAT and allowed me to join extracurricular activities. I'm now a rising junior and I feel so pressured to do all of these things in just 2 years...

      Patricia De Leon you should talk about that experience when you apply ... that story will help you stand out from other applicants. And if there is an extracurricular that you want to try in the next two years, don’t feel like it’s to late, cause it’s never to late. I just finished my bachelors from a state university and am about to start my masters. I know this time can be stressful but you got this!

However, I've only ever seen them take on university students due to the complexity of the research.

      I'm a sophomore in highschool but I'm pretty sure the admissions officers know the available AP classes you have. You can also self study for AP exams through independent studies if you're willing to put in the time (might not get a highschool credit but you'd receive the college credit if you score high enough)

    • @jeffpape6519
      @jeffpape6519 4 года назад +36

      You could also try taking courses at a local community college or some other equivalent. Your extracurriculars don’t necessarily have to be tied to school-for example you could do creative writing on your own, start your own blog, or code on your own (I don’t know what your interests are, so that’s up to you). But you seem motivated so I’m sure that’ll shine through in your application.
