    Hi Cassandra, just wondering whether these admission officers also rate your academic profile(GPA, act/sat, etc.). If so, how are these rated? Thanks for your information and patience in making this video for us!

    • @CassandraHsiao
      @CassandraHsiao  3 года назад +15

      Hi! So everything that was in the file, I covered in the video. There was no note really of my GPA, ACT/SAT scores. Perhaps these were discussed in the admissions office room with other officers, but there is no paper trail of their thoughts on my stats!

    I think I ruined my chances at Yale.
    I sent a request for a letter of recommendation to my art teacher as I’m majoring in an Artsy Degree… BUT I realized they require CORE academic teachers.
    I cant unsubmit it and am worried that it’ll affect my decision.
    What should I do?

      I wrote about it in my UC apps--volunteering in Sunday School! www.cassandracollegecoaching.com/cassandraessays/uc-essays
      One of my students this past year also talked about his leadership within our church's high school youth group as well as his school's Christian club for one of his PIQ's and he got into UCLA :)
      I think faith/beliefs can come up quite naturally in any question that asks about an "element" of personal experience! Or perhaps even in a leadership/community question.

    Hey there! As colleges are test optional this year should I send my 1350 SAT score to the top ones and explain y I couldn't do better if I have genuine personal and circumstantial reasons? Or is it better to not send them? (I'm an international student)?

    • @joshanderson9835
      @joshanderson9835 3 года назад +12

      You can search up the average SAT scores of colleges online and compare them with yours! A general rule is to submit SAT scores only if you are at the 50th or 75th percentile. T20 schools like Yale, Harvard, etc. have averaged around 1510 so I wouldn’t submit the score and save yourself from the writing.

    • @CassandraHsiao
      @CassandraHsiao  Год назад

      hi! college interviews are actually not a mandatory part of the process; it just depends on whether or not the school has enough resources (interviewers/alum) in your area to offer you an interview. whether you are offered an interview or not has no bearing on your application! it is also for the school’s alum to answer any questions you may have about the school.

      Hi Sean! My rec letter was from my sophomore year teacher (AP Calc BC teacher) but I thought it was worth it because I maintained a close relationship with her even after that year. Additionally my other letter of rec was from a junior year teacher, so I felt that it balanced it out.

    Hi Cassandra! I was wondering what math class you took in 9th grade before AP Calculus BC? I'm going into 10th grade and have the option to go into AP Calc BC, but I'm nervous that I'm not yet prepared enough to take it. I took Advanced Precalculus in 9th grade (and all the prerequisites for precal in previous years), does that sound okay? Thanks!
