right when i think i'm smart, i watch this and it humbled me REAL QUICK
Haha noooo, everyone has different strengths and talents! For example, the thought of taking a math class higher than BC Calc literally makes me want to retreat into a fetal position😭❤️
RIGHT😆
Girl you accidentally sent them to Harvard and they still accepted you. No clownery to be found. Good job QUEEN !
Lol thank you for the support, when I realized what I had done all I could do was hope for the best😭💕
It may have even helped you! Like “oh she’s not afraid to show her lower points” like it shows you’re willing to grow and learn and you are humble too!
Who knows maybe I’m not an admissions officer 😅
when you’re too amazing it doesn’t even matter!
I’m stressed about getting into a college with 46% acceptance rate and your getting into Harvard
Getting into any college is amazing!!
@@JohnDoe-ig4zh it is tho 😌
You’re*
@@lasheenapottinger7405 not rlly some colleges accept everyone so there’s no achievements besides choosing if u wanna go.
@@futureivygirl but having the privilege to apply to that college is still amazing
*gets a 1360* "it was a bad day" great stats tho
Haha, scores aside I really was out of it that school day😂💕
And yale rejected you?!?!? Wtf I reject yale tf
haha its ok #yuckfale 😂💕
“subject tests...we don’t know them” lmaoooooo
haha I mean its true😂💕
i have to admit, i never was informed about how important college was until my senior year !! so all throughout freshman year and as well as sophomore year i mainly got c’s and a few b’s and never took classes that werre more “challenging” such as AP. i regret it so much. come senior year, i passed with nothing but a’s and b’s and took an AP class. now that i graduated i discovered my strengths and weaknesses so now i’m going to apply what i know and have researched to the community college i’m in now and apply it to my transfer college when i complete my AA degree in liberal arts!!
also, congratulations!!!! hard work truly does pay off and you’re the epitome of that. thank you for this video!
"i didnt really study for the act" *gets a 32/36*
Am I American? No

Te enteras de q es honours classes y ap classes? Osea q seria aqui en españa?
@@thekoala9337(Llego como media vida tarde, pero te respondo por si otra persona lo quiere saber). Que yo sepa, no hay ninguna cosa parecida, ya que el sistema educativo es diferente, todo está fijo, a no ser de que vayas a un instituto/bachillerato americano o que tenga otro tipo de sistema. Puedes hacer los exámenes AP por tu cuenta, si lo puedes pagar, pero no hay clases de eso en el bachillerato/instituto normal.
Thank you!! Incredible!! Congratulations!!
Thanks for helping us littles….even years later we’re still looking up to you!!!!
I'm happy to help Amiah!! Thank you sm for watching🤍
I absolutely love your videos! Thank you thank you!
You are so welcome!💖
I hope you are so proud of yourself... simply amazing
You are so nice, telling that whatever school people attend, it will not change their human being. Wow, yes it's true. Thanks)
You're amazingggggggg!
im binging your college vids as a rising senior/ prez of my schools young dems club in south carolina and feel so seen omg every other college video is all California schools thank you for EXISTING girl
AHHH hey girl hey🤗 I love meeting other South Carolinians lol
Yes! I would love to see a video of how you created your extracurricular activities list
Noted!✨
I’m not an American student, I’m already on my senior year of Law School, and yet, here I am, in awe of how amazing and eloquent you are! You’re going places 🥰🎉
Aww thank you so much💕
I’d love to see a video on how to word extracurriculars in a way that makes you look good without bragging!
Coming right up, thanks for the suggestion!☺️
AP classes always scared me throughout high school honestly 😂 that’s why I never took them lol. I always take honors but I’m going to be a senior so I picked some AP classes so wish me luck 🤞
sending all the good vibes, you got this!
Kristian Arnell thank you ! Also when writing I guess you can say your essay into Baylor Idk what to start writing about first. I basically don’t know how to start writing my essay to get in.
this is so helpful thank u so much!! can u make a video focusing on how to get leadership or intern opportunities along with summer programs?
Yes, definitely! I'm so glad the video was helpful, thank you sm for watching☺️
you're really lucky, my high-school runs on block schedule everyday I only have 4 classes a day and it's very limited
Wth. I don’t stand a chance. Still excited for you !! Way too go!!
Never say never! College admissions is all about presenting yourself in the best way possible, and don't be afraid to cast your net far when picking schools to apply to✨
Good job! You really did everything! I lost count of how many leadership positions you had .. I would be so overwhelmed
Haha it was definitely a crazy time, thank you sm for watching💕
After watching you.. I have a clear understanding for my daughter's stress level. We are just starting the FAFSA and college application process. You remind me of her.
Amazing! I’m loving your videos. Would you share how you organized your time in high school! You seem to have fully loaded your schedule so I’m interested in hearing what your strategy was for getting it all done!
Great idea, thank you so much! I will say that I'm still working on my time management skills, but I can certainly share where I am right now✨
Lmao you’re amazing, I though I had a chance into Duke but now I’m worried after watching this video
hey girl! i’ve done gems all four years too! so glad to see some representation 🥰
Ahhh a GEMS sister!! Thank you sm for watching🤍
Congratulations 😍
Classes, activities, and tests oh my ❤️, also could you go a little more in depth on the presidential youth conference
i just realised how much easier it is to get into university in australia! i opted to drop out halfway through my senior year (june 2019) due to mental health etc. and i’ve just applied for university starting in June this year and I got in !! even the process is a little easier, like we have all normal exams and assignments (800-1000 word essays on a play, normal math exams which is general not all separate classes like calculus and all those) then your grades are combined on top of one simple test which doesn’t necessarily do much and even with my poor grades i would have gotten an OP8 (our grading effects these, all A’s would maybe get you in the OP 4-1 range) because i did the diploma of business! it’s so interesting to see how different education is!
The different education systems globally are so interesting to compare! I'm glad that you're taking care of your mental health and yay for being accepted!!✨
classes, activities, and tests, oh my!
So proud. ❤️
love you❤️
you seem like such a wholesome person!
aww thank you🥺❤️
Thanks for the video bruh. You are pretty smart 👩🎓
LOL omgg I felt that subject test thing on a spiritual level...."we don't know them in this family" XD
colleges: recommend 2-3 subject tests
me: 👁👄👁
Saw this in my recommended and instantly recognized you from discoSwat! Congratulations! You’re going on to do big things :))
Aww hey fellow discoswattie! Thank you so much for the support☺️
You are an inspiration!
Thank you so much!
Proud of you!
Thank you so much!
We love a woman with goals
aww we really do💕
My 8 year old niece tells me she wants to be scientist and asks me to teach her chemistry. I hope she makes her dreams come true.
Looking forward to hearing more
i feel the same about subject tests lol, i took practice tests but it looks like I won’t get a chance to actually take the real tests and I’m completely fine with that
Ya I would not stress about subject tests at all, they're definitely not necessary to crafting a successful application☺️
classes, activities, tests, oh my!! :))
You are GLOWING
Congrats 😊 you deserve all of it
Ahh😭✨
Thank you very much for posting this! This was very helpful! I am a parent trying to prepare my kids! Highly impressive! My daughter wants to go to Harvard as well! Great info! You are a star!
Thank you so much for watching and the support! I wish your kids the best on their journeys!!
LITERALLY A QUEEN 🥺 love ur skin btw. also im from the philippines idek why im watching all these us college admission videos lmao. im going to start uni later this year too :))
Aww thank you so much!! Congrats to you☺️
I would like a video on how you listed I your extracurriculars and did your essays!!!
Got it, thank you for the suggestions!
When I started doing these in my junior year and I thought I was going good but after seeing this video I see that I'm 0.00000001% close to get into any ivy schools.
I am 11 and I was so happy that you had a long term goal as well what are some of your recommendation's!
you go girlll
ayeee thank you💕
LOVE THE VID
LOVE YOU
Columbia is my dream school and I’m literally so sad because I don’t know what extracurricular activities to do or what to do in general this kinda helps but idk what I’m interested in so it’s so hard but congrats ❗️
I recently uploaded a video with tons of extracurricular advice so definitely check that out and don't give up hope, you've got this!💕☺️
classes, activities, test, oh my!
Ahh, I’m so inspired by you. 💖
Unfortunately, I’m freaking out a little bit. :( I did zero extracurriculars in my Freshman year (which is ending right now) because my physical exam was out of date and I never knew they were so important, so I never prioritized the clubs as well. My uw GPA is a 3.75 (I had a B first term :,)), while my w one is 4.4. They are offering APUSH and AP BIO next year, while I’m taking Algebra 2 as well, but I’m honestly so stressed out about it because everyone keeps saying about the rigor of AP, and how Bio and History are one of the most challenging ones. I’m not American, I only came in during my middle school (6 grade), so all of that mess at the time made me not worry so much about school, and I never heard about APs until now. I’m working on my discipline, I know time management, I’m just very stressed with everything, the no-extracurricular thing, the ap-classes, the exams, the finals… etc. I’m wondering if I can get back on track.
Damn, this is long. Idk why I vented here. 😭 sorry, haha.
Hey don’t worry, you still have the rest of your high school years to get into extracurriculars activities. During the summer try looking up programs or come up with activities you can do. Ap courses are very difficult, if you have a good work schedule you’ll be able to manage them. There are study videos online that can help you too. Don’t stress over your gpa this year, if you show improvement over your high schools years it’ll show that you’re a good student and are able to prosper.
Hi Sofia, thank you so much for watching and don't worry about the rant-I get it! Congrats on finishing freshman year! I have some great news for you, 1) you're only a rising sophomore! which means you have almost three full years to find out ways to get involved in your community that feel most authentic to you. 2) the pandemic has definitely shifted the college admissions landscape and schools are more aware than ever of how major life events (like moving to the US) can impact your applications. 3) BREATH! while college admissions can seem super daunting, at the end of the day if you put in the work (which you're doing) and have faith, then you'll end up at the place best for you. I'm rooting for you!!🤍
I feel kinda bad because i'm not American and here, in Argentina, we don't have that Many options like AP classes and most of the people don't even think about going to Harvard, Yale, Duke those are imposible dreams for us. I'm going to try my best and do all the thing that i can.
But i also think that this Will help to the admit office to see how hard Is for us, and to show that i did my best. Maybe just ten people from Argentina got into ivy colleges as MIT, Harvard and Princeton
I love how I’m watching college videos but I’m only a freshman but I was wondering since I am really good at writing like papers and essays will that help me get into colleges if my stats are some what low
I may be watching this 1 month later but I just gotta say you go girl you can accomplish anything as long as you put your mind to it and don't give up 👍🥳😁🙂🤩🤗😊😀
A true queen is never late, everyone else is simply early👑😂 thank you so much for your kind words💕
Classes, activities, and tests, oh my!
thank youu🤪
We are only allowed to take 7 classes max for our school. Do you think that is something I should be worried about? Also, I got 2 B's freshmen year, but got all A's last semester for my sophomore year, and was taking AP Calc BC and AP Bio. Are the B's going to be looked at by Ivy's? Also, congrats!! That is amazing achievement!
Taj Gadiraju They’ll take into consideration what your school offers. Don’t stress to much about the things you can’t control. In terms of the B’s, you don’t need perfect grades. Try to show improvement, and focus on getting the best grades possible - especially in classes that are relevant to your major, if you have one.
Classes, activities and tests, oh my!
☺️
I’m not too stressed about my grades and course rigor (especially since my school doesn’t even offer that many APs), but I’m incredibly worried that I’m not doing enough extracurriculars. I’m a sophomore, and I quit Speech and Debate this year bc I wasn’t passionate about it. Next year I plan to join robotics and stock club but I just don’t think it’ll be enough time.
I've watched way too many yt videos to know that these colleges don't give af. You've probably already learned this but as long as you pick a few things and stick with them the rest of your years, you're good. You don't have to pad your app with 8 different clubs and a sport every season.
okay wow I'm from germany and I'm currently in my masters program at university (for psychology) and all that matters in germany to go to university are highschool grades. I literally only took one extracurricular activity in my life, had pretty good grades in highschool (mostly A's) and bam, i was easily accepted into a renowed university in germany. its crazy how ambitious teens in america have to be early on in life, to get into a good college.
The public local colleges are good and decent but the Ivies have way more funding and connection. You have a 50% chance of getting into a nice local college. It's just that Harvard and Stanford and the like are the creme
Oh no, as a rising sophomore who has their eyes set on ivy league (specifically harvard, Princeton, and yale + stanford) this scares me
I had a bunch of plans for what I'd be doing in highschool but then covid hit. And my severe social anxiety kept me from really being able to do clubs to begin with, but I'm now on my second year in online school and have no social life and have participated in absolutely 0 extracurricular activities ...
Also, I taught myself a language but I've only been in 1 foreign language class and that was in middleschool. and now I only have two years to do more foreign language classes, AP classes, and all these extracurriculars if I want even a chance at these schools :[] I'm transferring to an IB program school or a STEM early college school hopefully for my junior and senior years, but I just know I'll be so overwhelmed when I add all the extracurriculars and clubs and extra-hard classes
My scores and grades are high and I've spent most of my life in Honors classes but I don't think they're gonna save me this time. my best bet is a really good essay
