How I Got Into Harvard

Hey, all! Today I thought I'd share my personal high school trajectory and my 'journey' to Harvard University through the admissions process. The first thing I want to say is that I am an international student from the UK, I am first-gen, and I am from a low-income background so if that applies to you then definitely stay tuned. Secondly, I didn't apply to other ivy league schools but I would imagine that it would apply to the other ivies, and elite top schools!
I talk about how I found out about Harvard, my high school education, the application, my grades (A Levels, ACT scores - I took the SAT II subject tests but didn't submit them because they weren't too hot haha), the extracurriculars I did in high school, how I discovered what financial aid was, the Sutton Trust US Programme, and more.

This video isn't intended as a 'how to' but instead is more of a personal story. I am happy to make a how to if you want to see that :) Just let me know!
