    As a rising senior, I loved the conciseness of the advice and especially the values system to make essays easier. You've gotta make vlogs and short-form snippets of Penn this fall bro good luck with your classes.

    Thank you so much Dylan. Your my inspiration and I'm applying ED to Upenn too! Your videos inspire me so much and I really hope one day I might be able to be as cool as you. Your such an incredible person and my role model, Im making my own videos now and working hard because you inspired me so much

    Hey man! Right now I'm in my sophomore year and I think you should make separate videos for different classes like junior, sophomore etc. (and especially students with limited resources and opportunities)

    Really enjoyed the video Dylan, just subscribed for more high quality videos like these. I also have a question that I want the brutal truth to. So I'm a rising sophmore with not so great grades but good course rigor and I opted to take a version of pre-calc, and as a result I will be taking AP Calc Ab instead of Bc junior year and I am worried how these two factors will affect my chances at schools like Penn for biology. Thanks Dylan!

      @dylan_ott  2 месяца назад +1

      I would say that you should be fine, especially since you aren't going into a super math heavy major. But, try to get an A on AB and then take BC your senior year to try and make up.

    Im an international student and my whole profile is mix of business and engineering just like yours. Does a profile like that only makes sense in programs like M&T? Would it create a disadvantage if i apply to a just engineering program in a school?

      I believe you're fine. Your GPA is almost perfect. Even so, from what I've learned from other yt channels, the Ivy League does not solely focus on grades but also on extracurriculars and/or course rigor (I've seen people who got a 3.7 GPA and still got into an Ivy). Many colleges are test-optional, so, whether you want to submit your SAT scores or not, they will consider other factors in your application. Make sure you read the requirements before applying to the colleges you want. Good luck!

    Hey there, I am currently doing medicine in Bangladesh. I am in my 2nd year. Never wanted to be a doctor. Just doing it due to parental pressure. I really want to pursue law eventually. Is there any way I can do law in any of the ivy leagues? Disclaimer: Medicine is an undergraduate degree in South Asia called MBBS and you can do post grad afterwards to specialize in any specific area. And if your answer is yes, what are the extracurriculars I will be needing to do? Just a brief idea would suffice. Sorry for such an elaborate question!

    • @zohabilal3714
      @zohabilal3714 2 месяца назад

      I'm pretty sure for law your undergrad doesn't matter, you just need to have done an undergrad. extracurriculars that would be good are likely debating / public speaking, looking for internships at law offices/firms, doing mock trials or MUN, having a sport to play and just some sort of leadership role
