Im glad to be a part of this small community where he gives golden advice I've never heard before.
11:07 this made me tear up... I'm not particularly aiming for an ivy or anything but I still want to go to a tier 2 level school. I'm a rising junior and haven't done much my first 2 years of high school but doing my best to do more extracurriculars. This reminded me that the most important thing is gaining experience for my future, and that admissions to colleges won't be the only deciding factor of what I will do in life. Thank you for your videos, has been helping me a lot :)
I'm in the exact same position
Fr, I’m rlly struggling trying to get some leadership positions
@@snowy3725 do you really need that many? Ive started 1 club
On god I’m going through the same thing
I forgot I left this comment, but my view
on colleges has changed a bit over the last few months. I know everyone is very stressed right now with this kind of stuff and I just want to let you guys know that as long as you work hard and take advantage of all the opportunities you have, you will be successful wherever you go. Aiming for these colleges is a good goal, however don’t forget the most
important thing is gaining experience. Don’t let the tier of the college determine your life. Take this time in your life to figure out what you like and don’t like. Don’t do extracurriculars just for the extracurricular, make sure you enjoy it. Wishing you guys luck on your journey.
I already went through the college apps process (I saw your Brown portfolio when applying but that’s it). This past week I’ve been getting recommended your videos & watching them (partially because it’s really funny to see the god awful advice people are giving and successfully selling online).
Instead, I was pretty surprised that you actually give crazy useful advice and don’t try to nice it up to market yourself to the helicopter parents trying to get their kids into ivies. You & I had very different processes throughout HS but I def respect everything you say in this videos and agree w/ 95% of it too. You def deserve to blow-up over the other BS test prep and college prep companies.
This has to be the most underrated YT account, I could literally kiss you this information has saved my college admission process 😩😩
You're an absolute legend. Thank you for doing what you do.
This third myth part is very reassuring, especially with the notion that being admitted into a good university is a reward. Appreciate you saying something unapparent for me in your videos.
You're effectively right about the 1st point !!!!! Transparency got to be thoughtfully expressed. In rage and inflicted mode of life ? Vexed up phase? Don't literally let it all out and not revolve around the lateral ways in which you can respond to what they are asking ! Craft it for real ! It feels like an endless book and mere exaggeration of current state of something that you sure can't avoid but try not go into that yk..
Just want you to know I’m your biggest fan and I’ve watched all of your videos, you are literally the GOAT thank you so much
This this for sure one of the best perspectives that I’ve seen about the college admissions. It coming from a college student makes it even more amazing
Just started watching your videos. Absolute peak content. I’ll be entering high school in a month so your videos will be really helpful for me.
The best thing is he doesn’t give bullshit unachivable highly improbably advice . His advice is very practical authentic and that’s why I like him
WOW, you got a charm bro!! Really like the vdo.
Awesome 😎
greatful to discover you, good job brother
Preaching P on top 👑

real on the see "see through" part. One of my friends got into a pretty good school and his aunt wrote his application lmao
bro this is the advice we needa hear
Wow. This made me feel amazing.
Hey, great video as always. I was wondering whether you could make a video on your science fairs and how you went about applying and such.
The only valid RUclipsr🔥🔥

PREACHING P
spoken like a real admissions counselar.
Hi Patrik, I wanted an opinion regarding to the first point, I have just finished my first year at highschool, I live in Mexico and here we use a 0-10 system for grades instead of gpa, and my first year I had a procrastination issue and I have ADHD so i got a 9.5 my first semester and a 9.3 in the second, while there were some smart kids who got 9.9 or 9.8 in both semesters, so this will definitely hurt me in my application at a top college in the US, of course I have to do great in all aspects next years, but my question is (assuming I do great and overcome my procratination issue) would it be ok if I explain myself about it and how I was lazy my first year but then improved my life and become an excellent student, or should I avoid that part? I got your point but I ask this because they will see I don´t have a perfect grade neither I was at the top 1% of my class, and Idk if it would be worth it to explain it with a motivational story, thx for your videos keep the good work! :)
Ik I'm not him but your grades could reflect that change in amount of effort given and show an uptick in your performance, so unless you have something real I would stick to using your space in that section for something else
colleges like to see an upward trend so as long as you do better your next years i think you'll be good
W vid and completely unrelated but where did u get that shirt from its fye 🔥

Fire pfp my guy
Best advice on RUclips
yo i'm curious -- do you do essay editing or just general like sessions where we can talk applications
1:44
Respectfully have to disagree with the not wanting someone with mixed interests, it certainly possibly to get in without a clear direction. Just depends if those mixed interest make you stand out as an applicant who could be a great contribution to their university.
Yo Pratik, amazing video! One question though, did you Eagle?
ofc bro
Sick!
Another day another W

@@enjoywithamayraaandvihan6157 It depends on how much time you are spending on those activities. If you spend more than 10 hours on each sport that is a lot of time that could go to something better so I would recommend stopping. But if you don't have to much activities to the point where is having large impacts on your life feel free to keep on playing.
@@enjoywithamayraaandvihan6157 yoyo you from india too? I am also gonna do my igcse's in 2 years and i also like swimming and basketball.
