"i got a 1600 in one sitting" king behaviour
😭😭😭im def. below average then
Like it's hard lol 😆
WHEN HE'S SMART, TALENTED, AND HANDSOME >>>
you lookin in a mirror?
Nah bro we lookin at u 😎
I CANT 💀
@@kyletsai you're built diff bro.. damn.
@@kyletsai bro wtf pls how
This humbled me really quick lmfao
Man I thought my 4.4 was good
@@darkis9154 same😭
@@darkis9154 Depends on your school. At some schools a 4.4 is not even possible to get even if you take the hardest possible courseload and get all As. At others it's pretty easy due to grade inflation and an uncapped number of weighted courses.
LMAO NO FRR
@@darkis9154😭😭
bruh my jaw dropped multiple times. i like physically cannot process how much you've achieved. wow just WOW. YOU'RE BUILT DIFFERENT
LMAO i can't even fit my life into 24 hours i just cannot understand how these people exist and how this is possible 0______0
Like seriously 😭
Things have changed. Back when I was in school, getting into an Ivy meant getting some good grades and spending 2 or 3 years on some meaningful research and getting a publication or two out of it. These days it seems they want kids to give up their lives just to get in only for them to learn that Ivy culture is the same, more work, more competition.
@@hj2479 woah! How old are you?
@@jasveersinghmatharu8563 62 this year, man this stuff makes me feel old!
I've literally never felt so inferior in my entire life
We are just average people, plus he put a lot of effort and hard work to get that.
Me with a c in my only honors class. Ye I’m going to a party school
real
Me before this video: How did he get into Ivies???
Me after this video: Understandable have a nice day
This legit seems very hard
✊
✊
Before this video: Wow I'm curious how he got into Princeton.
After this video: How did he not get into Harvard and Stanford???
@@mer698 but princeton is not better than harvard huh, at most the two are on par with one another
FACTS
@@maymay-xb7do Princeton is better than Harvard. Facts
@@mer698 this is a thing called yield protection but this is not the case. Harvard, Stanford, etc do not practice yield protection as they are not as worried by getting rejected by people. No matter how qualified you are, and ivy of top 25 school can’t be considered a safety school and you really can not be overqualified for the college which is why they don’t participate in yield protection. He probably got rejected for other reasons that are not known to me.
@@mer698 princeton isn't better....mit , harvard and stanford are top three
Bro i give up - how am i supposed to get into college compared to THIS
Literally me rn seeing his vid
don’t compare yourself... the colleges will see you bestie
don’t compare yourself to others!! he’s great and so are you :))
Everyone's saying not to compare yourself... thats so cliche but again- don't compare yourself
I have a 3.1 gpa and a 1010 sat and I’m going to Iowa state and I’m perfectly happy
When I saw his gpa and sat, immediately I knew how he got into ivies.
and the amount of APs he took and the scores he got for their exams I was like sheeeeesh
Tbh that means nothing. Plenty of kids with high SAT and GPA don't get into any Ivies.
Tbh what they want is a presence in international equivalence competitions such as math, science etc. They always see high gpas and sat scores, so they want to see something different such as those. Any program that has connection with the government would also be great booster for your application as it has high credibility
I have a similar gpa, slightly lower SAT, but his extracurriculars and honors are way better.
@@baxterbotox7661 it does mean something, ivy leagues and name brand schools only accept from a restricted range of applicants that restricted range is high gpas and sats it allows them to eliminate a very big portion of the people that have applied to ivy league schools. For each race they have qoutas and asians have higher expectations for extracurriculars, gpas, and standardized test scores. Kid had to be flawless to get in and he was much respect to his grind.
If you guys feel hopeless watching this-don’t. Princeton accepted me, but I’m legit the opposite of this dude lol. I took only 8 ap classes total, didn’t take the SAT, but at least I had straight A’s. But luckily most Ivies cancelled standardized testing requirements this year, so I didn’t bother to send my embarrassing ACT score. Also I spent HUGE effort on the application essays and somehow they looked at all this and said, “yep let this Roblox player in” 💀anything can happen if you try
Edit: guys my ec's were NOT that impressive either- I didn't do any programs or internships, no no no. Not tryna diss anyone for doing these, but they sound so complicated and too much work LOL, all I did were Varsity swimming (3 yrs), NHS (2 yrs), and journalism/school newspaper (1 yr). I'm also the lead keyboard player on my church's worship team for 5 years now. That's it, otherwise I just lay on my bed, play Roblox and watch RUclips because they're addicting ✨(OFC I didn't say that in my essays). Moreover, I only scored 29 on the ACT (didn't report) and scored 5's in 7 out of 8 of my AP classes.
I honestly cherry-picked a lot of information about myself to hide some of the more embarrassing statistics. Yea, it's not very sincere, but really that's just the way it is, and no one's gonna go out of their way to figure out what's behind the mask. Each Ivy League gets tens of thousands of yearly applications to deal with anyway. I'm really just the least qualified person to be in Princeton tbh, but then again, you roll a dice with a hundred faces and it could still land on your number. All it takes is to try. Good luck to everyone! 😉
Edit again: btw I made a reactions video a while ago if y'all wanna check out (cringe warning): ruclips.net/video/7Dz0CU8r_Uk/видео.html
Edit once again: I don’t mean to undermine Kyle lol, he’s well deserved to be here. I’m not. And guess what, he and I share a physics class together 😂! Kyle if you’re reading this, I’m the one who always sits right next to the board and has to turn around to see it every time lol
congrats!
Oh my God dude, you give me hope!!
What about extracurriculars? I feel like those are important too, I would assume you did an internship or something, and founded a club, two things I'm looking to do. Furthermore, as someone interested in International relations/Political Science, it would be nice to do model UN, but that's really hard to set up at my school. Would you recommend driving to another school just to do it?
@@forrestgorby1109 As a former professor I would recommend setting up the model UN program at your school instead, it shows initiative and leadership. If you do something yourself from the ground up that is a great sign to us that you have the skills to bring that self starter spirit to our schools. The rest really depends on your plans for future major/majors.
lmaoo care to talk about your extra curricular tho?
the hair glow up throughout the years is truly inspiring 😍
u were scared about not getting into an ivy league? your stats are PERFECT.
Plenty of kids with super high GPA and SAT don't get into any Ivies.
Thats the problem with ivies , most apply with perfect scores ! a hit or miss lol
@@baxterbotox7661 it does mean something, ivy leagues and name brand schools only accept from a restricted range of applicants that restricted range is high gpas and sats it allows them to eliminate a very big portion of the people that have applied to ivy league schools. For each race they have qoutas and asians have higher expectations for extracurriculars, gpas, and standardized test scores. Kid had to be flawless to get in and he was much respect to his grind.
@@Staticshock-rd8lv there are no "qoutas," first of all. and your grades and scores only get you past a certain point, a point past which most applicants to these schools make it. after that they don't take you any further.
@@baxterbotox7661 Okay tell me why is it that they ask for race in the application process it has no bearing at all? Second of all that doesn't dispove anything ivies don''t accept low gpa's low test scores without very good excuses they have too many applying. it isn't hard to do a bunch of extracurriculars it is hard to have amazing scores/grades while doing the EC's. Forgot to add in rich and legacies too.
does anyone want me to read my essays or
YES PLEASE!! ALSO HUGE CONGRATS!!!
Yaaassss plleessaaaasssseeee
Well at this point u kinda have to (lol jk. Plz do tho. Would help a lot)

why did i think i wouldn’t be depressed after watching this video...
Bro, can't believe I'm still thinking I'll get into Harvard after him, such a perfect candidate, wasn't accepted. Delusional? Yes and also Harvard is insane for that
@@romeo.s_regret BRO TRUST DW YOU WILL. WERE ALL GON SUCCEED
“I got a 1600 in one sitting” sir do you know how attractive that is ?
but goddamn he has everything you could want 😩
so college apps are really stressful but college consulting services can REALLY help you!! go to collegeadvisor.com/kyle-tsai and you can talk to admissions experts that'll help you get into ur DREAM college. getting into top schools is really random sometimes, but if you have the help of collegeadvisor.com, it'll be a lot easier for sure :)) also please use my link lol thanks 😩
me: **watching his college reactions video** hm not bad **click on stats video**
me after: oh ok
Casually getting a 1600 on the SAT in one sitting... couldn't be me. Can't wait to see you there!
can't believe I know a social media content creator 😩
coming from the future head of mckinsey?
@@kyletsai for Usnco, what is considered finalist, is finalist considered qualifying for the national exam because I qualified for the national exam part 1 and someone people are saying that I’m a finalist while other say I’m a national exam qualifier
@@kyletsai hey man do you have any tips for USNCO. I'm a rising sophomore, and I want to pass the local rxam

boyy you cracked af 🚀🚀
how are you alive? After all those perfect grades and scores and so many extracurricular and awards...
But congrats and Gj!
I’m just shocked you got DENIED from so many classes 😳
Yeah he basically is a genius
He was too overqualified for half the colleges he applied too
thay must have had complications or something
when he's valedictorian
the next big college youtuber
OMG for the 5 honors thing they said "academic achievements" in the question (most of my honors are in music) so I had to list a bunch of fluff like the AP award thing and I had no idea where to put my music achievements ughhhhhh imma go cry rn 😭😭😭
After all that, bro also had a glowup. You're my inspiration man.
Can you make a video on how to study? Or your daily schedule during high school yk lol
Hey lads, I graduated in Ireland(2nd best university) last year, just wanted to let you know that you guys don't need to go to IVY league colleges in order to get a good job. I work as an engineer for one day of the American silicon valley companies and are currently making more than the average salary of all of the top Ivy League university graduates. My point is that as long as you study what you're genuinely passionate about, you should be set for life. There's genuinely no reason to go knee deep in student debt at the very beginning of your life. All you do is just make the banks happy ☺️
For me attending Princeton was the cheapest option 💀
thank you for the great video! it really helped me a lot. may i ask what kind of clarinet you used for most of your big performances? and how long have you been practicing clarinet daily?
I must be crazy. Im in 8th grade yet been on a binge frenzy of college decision reactions. This is just me procrastinating on raising money for NJHS. I need to get it together. congrats anyways hopefully i can even come close to this in the future.
make sure you study or this wont happen 👍🏻
Felt but I'm in 6th, send help!
high school freshmen here, if anything the amount of colleges you'll look at gets worse since you know there's only a limited amount of time you have to pick
That's crazy bro. I wasn't even thinking about colleges until now (I'm a senior)
Dog, when I was ur age I didn't even know college existed 😂
bro is a king
As soon as I saw that he was including the PSAT as part of the video… I was like ok he’s got good scores
Amazing. Lowering my self esteem.
please do a study tip video because THIS is impressive 😳
Bro your scores are literally the best I've ever seen.
my inspiration fr
Thanks for the vid!! :)
Could you probably share resources to prepare for the SAT?
I’m going to a pre-college program to earn credits for my junior and senior year.
Would it be better to continue my two years in my high school taking AP classes/test or go to the program?
I feel like universities prefer AP test scores.
Inspirational 😍
got the brains and the brawn
DANGGG, UR SMART SMART DUDE!! Congrats on all ur colleges! I'm surprised I got into Wharton with my stats!
im tryna get into wharton and currently a sophomore in hs rn. any tips?
great video!
It’s the bot culture for me😩😩
Like mans really out here with perfect stats across the board, hand me the talent plsssss 🤚🥺🥺
INCREDIBLE SMART AMAZING MULTITALENTED
my offer still stands
@@kyletsai didnt say i wasn't taking it
Wow, good job. You deserve it. I hope I can be as diligent and intelligent as you when I get to high school.
I love how he just flexes all those stats like its all easy work LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo
how did u study for the SAT???
This is a typical perfect asian student. I am curious to watch your future endeavor after commencement.
Hey Kyle, what schools did you apply to. By the way, amazing job!
you have a good taste in music ngl
hey yo kyle
could u do a tutorial video about your hair-style?
looks cooool
Please tell me how you had time to do all of that. 👁👄👁 Also I saw that your first language is Mandarin... I’m just curious, where did you grow up? I’m an American studying Mandarin in Taiwan right now.
I just failed the SAT and am watching a buncha college decision reaction videos and their stats, oh boy how sad I am.
what a flex dang 😭
I’m a junior in high school and didn’t even take any ap classes, my psat score was like a 1458 or sum my sophomore year and was around that my junior year too. I’m not in any high end clubs like NHS even thought I have A’s in school I never got offered to join. I have a 4.0, but never got any rewards or anything like that is really discouraging me from think I can get into a good collage, I feel like it’s too late for me. If I don’t get a scholarship because of sports than idk
when he’s a college youtuber😩‼️
thanks emma 😩 now come to pton
when he gets a PERFECT SCORE ON THE SAT?????
@Katie Ellen Tu the SAT is not easy especially for people who are not good test-takers, so that score is really impressive :)
@Katie Ellen Tu it can't. a lot of high schoolers don't have the opportunity to learn calculus, so it would be unfair to give that test to them.
omg hojean the TASTE
WHEN HE STANS TWICE AND BP>>>>
yes go off king 😩😩
ok but i'm taking ap music and i didn't expect for it to kill me but i'm dead now
could you give me tips on doing research, i live in srilanka and its really hard to find oppurtunities
What topic did you write for essays?
If I got a 1420 on my SAT and 32 Act is it worth it submitting to schools like Johns Hopkins or any ivies. I have a 3.8 gpa and a 4.25 weighted gpa
Can you make a video talking and potentially readin your essays or at least essay topics
Do you need straight As to get into ivys or top colleges? I have mostly As but some abs in really tough honors/AP course
GO KYLE GO!!!!
VINH ❤️
YES KYLE
mind over matter 😩
wow i feel so intimidated it just keeps going :O
Ur scores in school really fucked my hopes for going to top universities in USA bro and congratulations to you
how long did you study for the sat?
no way you went to Debakey? I go there rn, any tips for how to get into Ivy League
Imma freshman btw
THATS MY BOI
but how were u rejected from harvard, u got full on sat and have a lot of awards and ecs with rly good grades
w..wha..t... i jsut cant believe it since you're perfect in everything .. i feel so motivated now haahah
kyle is america’s sweetheart
but what about in guam?
@@kyletsai kyle is guam’s sweetheart too
what an intellectual! so smart!
Starting high school next year! Gonna start putting in the effort to get straight A’s and lots of AP classes. Hoping to get into Princeton 2026! AHHHH
good luck!! i wish i had this mindset when i was starting highschool. im a sophmore now and doing pretty alright, but sometimes i wish i had more drive from the beginning.
good luck!

Good luck! I’m starting high school in two years, and I wanna do the same thing as you :)
