I don't really get the american school system. In which year are you, when you are in year 11? Senior, Junior?

@@kpopandtea6864 yup! So crazy
Can you please do a video on what international students have to do for admission? Please
Up up up
Same, I’m always confused whether a score considered good for US students is good for international or not. And if there are differences in strength of application as an international. Specially because most international student like me require decent amount of aid/scholarship.
Class of 2022!!! Fired up and ready to go!
Class of '21. Here we go cowboies
Serin Smiles yeah goodluck fam
Class of 2022 😉
9:50 Wrong. In some California public Schools we can't even take history until Sophmore year. Most districts follow what the UC system calls the A-G system, which states in order to apply for a Cal State or UC school they must have 2 yrs history/social science required and 3 yrs recommended
Enola Gueta yep
michigan needs 3
Yes 👍
Yup
Class of 2023 where are you?❤️
Class of 2021?
Class of 2022!! Finally 🎉🙂
Hey, could you make a video for an international applicant please? I don't know what credit hours, ap classes, or anything else is. Thank you.
Depending on where you are, some schools can offer these. Eg. IEB schools in South Africa.
Always love your vids!
Class of 2022😳
Can you please make a video about how IB program help to get you into college or not??
Thanks for making this video.
Class of 2022 let’s gooooo

Can you do one for every high school year? (Freshmen, sophomore, junior or senior!)
yesss
What about students who don't live in USA?
May you update the best books for the SAT? Please 😇
Thank you for making this video! I'm a sophomore, but I think I'm going to start preparing early for junior year now. Can you please make a checklist for seniors as well?
How is it going now?
Class of 2023!!! 💜❤️💜❤️💜
I'm supposed to graduate this year and I'm completely lost. On top of being a less than lackluster student, no one has ever helped me, they only said where I should be. They never helped me to get there. No one has ever told me how to choose colleges, how to apply, what college really even is. No matter the hours of research I pore into this subject, it never seems enough.
Absolute Buffoon hey I just wanted to let you know you’re not alone, hang in there buddy.
I’m in your place right now
update: i dropped out
@@absolutebuffoon6375 aw man that sucks to hear. I’m in the same place as you and the system really messed us up.
Consider taking CTE classes such as HVAC, Electrictian, automotive they make good money, you'll learn a skill and be marketable. College is not for everyone. Also consider the armed service. they pay for your college education!
great video helpful information
My school actually offers an ACT class and I’m taking it next semester!:)
Thank u this helped a lot
You just gave me PTSD of junior year haha
Briana Berger I just wanted to say that I have watched your Stanford admissions video so many times. I hope to be able to also get to experience that for myself! (I’m currently a freshman and would love any words of advice you could give me) Your video has really pushed me and I just wanted to thank you so so much Briana!😊
Awww, thank you! I remember those times as a freshman and stressing out about Stanford lol In terms of advice, try not to be well-rounded. They want to see you focus on your passion and explore your interests. I did that and it worked lol. I did have a couple of clubs that weren't CS related, but it was obvious from my app that my passion was CS. Also, try to take the most challenging classes you can (stereotypical advice, but true). The admissions committee compares you, especially with academics, to your peers who are also applying to Stanford at the same time as you. So, keep up with your peers, especially those who are high achieveing. I took about 15 AP classes throughout my whole high school career (including senior year) (that is a lot! don't stress. It just happens that my school offers a lot of APs (~30 APs) and usually kids at my school who get into the HYPMS have 13 to 22 APs). It just depends on your school, and look at past students from your school that got into Stanford to see how many APs you should take. I also suggest researching into awards/scholarships for next year. I did this during the middle of my sophmore year and did it each and every year to keep on top of everything. I plan on doing a couple of how to get into stanford videos where I focus on advice and some general concepts to keep in mind. I wish you the best of luck!!! I hope that you will be at Stanford in four years!
Briana Berger Thank you so much Briana! This means a lot to me and I just wanted to tell you how much of an inspiration you are to me. Even though it might seem like nothing that you replied it means so much. Again thank you so so much. I wish you the best of luck!!!
Yeah it would be so helpful if you could one of these vidoes about college admissions for international students
Do one for sophomores!
Great vid, I’m graduating a year early and found this very helpful, since I’m a sophomore going to my junior year”technically senior” I need to prep since I’m losing a year to 🤣
SENIOR YEAR CHECKLIST!
Do a sophomore one, please!
Yeah!
Take the psat, start prepping for the SAT or ACT, engage in club activity, sports, community survive and, keep up your grade

Can you make a list of top schools? And like what defines a top school vs a regular college or university?
Could you make a version of this for COVID?
Do you have any information on International Students???

Can you do this for senior year please?
Hi Brooke! I've watched tons of your videos and I really loved how you summarize all the tips, especially for ACT and college administrations, so thank you!
As a freshman, I took the ACT and did pretty terribly (I didn't even meet the benchmark scores), but I've been preparing to take another one this coming July. This next school year, I will be a junior which means I will be provided another ACT that's given by the school to all juniors. So with my circumstance, can I submit my highest scores from each subject to colleges I'm applying to or do I have to send in all the scores I get?
Anna Chen it depends on the school. Some schools "superscore" your ACT, aka only taking the best parts from each test, and some schools only take the test with your highest composite.
...anyone else in that crazy private prep program on the east coast? She really nailed the description lol
R.I.P. to my May and June SAT test dates.
#CoronaVirus :(
Harvard bound
Rest in peace SAT subject tests 😔⚰
Did you mean to place the 2nd version of the Meltzer SAT Reading on the Amazon list? The 3rd edition is out.
Latest version is always best. In any case they're similar.
Do a Sophomore Check List
Hello! I am high school student and my GPA is 3.12-3.3 but have 2-3 subject tests 750+ and SAT Reasoning 1400+
And GPA is a problem here (
Could u please make a really short video for look of the college admission deans' in terms of being academically strong ?
Thanks beforehand!
Class 23 heading into junior year
By the way I didn’t take psat cuz during that I was in my country for a reason is it ok graduating without taking psat my school peers have told me I didn’t need it and even one of my teachers have told me
What do you think of gap years?
Does this channel talk about UK universities too? I don't think so
Hello I'm currently a junior is there any important deadlines that I should be aware of?
What if you are an international student and you need financial aid for summer courses at USA?
Junior year is over but yes
I'm a junior going to senior this fall and I dont have any summer activities except for SAT prep. Is there anything I can do?
ruclips.net/video/0MPmjaTwG2E/видео.html
So I messed up. I didnt take the PSAT because i thought it was stupid
what age do you have to be to enter jr college courses
College list: any ivy league except UC Berkeley (lol) A&M (only if Brockman scholar is ez) and UT.
Don't worry about me overshooting tbh I'd be surprised if I got denied by these schools.
Anyone else class of 2023 watching for the next school year
Can you take a SAT or ACT online??
Do colleges look at my GPA if I am an international. It is impossible to convert ...
Can AP Exams replace SAT Subject Tests?
I’m about to enter high school and I’m already stressing about collage 🤦🏽♀️I’m going to do great in life. Also I was just wondering is it better to take the SAT and the ACT or should I just take one and also can I take them more then once if don’t like my score.
Hey! You can always take past ACT and SAT tests online. Although they don’t count towards your actual score, it’s definitely good to have practice and figure what’s best for you. When it’s time for you to take the actual test, you can take both if you really want to and if you’re not satisfied you can always take it again, but it’s usually recommended to not take it more than 3 times because the chances of getting a higher score are pretty low. Hope this helps!!
Are two study halls in one semester considered a " hole in my schedule"?
Dani Nicole i would say depends on ap/honors courses and extracurriculars
Can a junior apply to colleges?
I need your help to raise my sat score by 100 points by June 2nd! I’ve done so much studying and idk what else there is to do but all I want is to raise my score to have a chance at my dream schools! I need to go from a 1200 to a 1300!
Autumn Dennison haha you suck! haha
Some colleges are not taking LSAT scores anymore because of "equity" which I think is dumb
I got an 1140 on the PSAT because I didn't study for it..... But then I looked up if the PSATs matter and it says it is a qualifier for the National Merit Scholarship??? Does that matter / if I studied what would be the chances of getting that? I planned on studying hard for the SAT but not the PSAT (I did a COUPLE practice problems), which I thought would be fine. But now I am kind of worried?? I know when I study I'll be completely good to go but GAHHHH
How bad of a situation am I in?
I’m a junior and I have no extracurriculars during high school so far. I know the colleges don’t care about my excuses, but I was in four extracurriculars during 8th grade that all were canceled that year and the next due to COVID . Then I moved and missed sign up dates for a couple things and neglected to sign up for the others because I’ve been super anxious about that stuff. Now I’m becoming a junior and can’t bring myself to join anything.
For the record I do pretty well in school. I have a 3.95 unweighted gpa and have taken every AP class that’s available to me. Also, not sure if colleges care at all, but I’m taking a semester abroad my senior year.
the uc system doesn't require 4 years of history, lol. I know because my schools graduation requirements literally are the a to g requirements
Hi, Can you make a video on transfer application? Actually, I'm an international student who currently studies in a community college in the US , so there're many additional requirements that I have to meet. If you can give me some advice about transferring application, that'd be awesome. Thanks
We have one video on how I got into Berkeley that is a transfer experience-- you might check it out.
Thank you :))
I’m class of ‘23 and I’m scared af
Can you do one for sophomores??

Subject tests have been discontinued fyi
going into junior year, but i’m graduating early
are international students allowed to take the subject tests? if so, plz link a site .
Yes, international students can take them. Many international students take a science and math subject test at the end of their junior year.
Class of 2023 anyone!! I’m so stressed out
Class of 2023
Hey everyone, I’m a German exchange student and i’ll stay in California for a school year (I’m going to be a Junior). I’m a straight A student here in Germany and also participate in a bilingual class (Geography and Biology in English since 7th grade). I’d like to choose AP Biology or Chemistry, do you think that I could do that? I’m panicking that I’ll not understand the matter (although I scored the highest Eltis test score) Help me😫
how did it go sophie
Geez what ever happened to high school just being high school. There’s no way I’m ever going to waste my summer straining my brain and free time on a community college class. These expectations are outrageous
i scoured your website and didnt see anything about scholarship searching. You said a former staff now at NYU is on scholarship and has a whole blog section. can you drop the link beause I do not see this on your website
supertutortv.com/college/how-to-pay-for-college-scholarships-free-money-for-college
Have you ever been to the Philippines? I believe I've met you before.
Hadassah Branch ok that's creepy
She literally freaked me out. You don’t need 4 years of social science, you need 2. You can look it up on the a-g approved UC list online
admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/freshman/requirements/a-g-requirements/index.html
But it may also depend on the school and program you are going for.
Why do you say students should choose between the SAT and ACT? I took both; is that a bad thing?
Likely because it’s a lot for some people to study for and take both so it’s best to put all your energy into one. I took both too, but I’m only gonna retake one cause I wanna just put my energy into improving 1 cause with corona I already barely have motivation to take them let alone keep retaking these 4 hour tests
Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought UC’s only require 2 yrs of history? It’s part of their A-G requirements.
I thought the same too! I just looked on the UC requirements page and it literally says that you only need 2 years. UCSB requires u to have at least one college history course and UCLA requires you to have a B or better. Maybe she meant 4 years for international students?
Sorry about that! It looks as if requirements have changed I think since I worked with that particular student who needed 4 years (though at one point I believe UCLA did require 4 years for liberal arts candidates in some programs)-- requirements also vary school to school and department to department for special programs. The point is to look up what you need at the caliber of school you are applying to and make sure you're reaching those requirements!
Thanks Brooke! Also I love your videos they have helped me so much!!! Please keep up the great work and I think a lot of people would love more videos if possible about How I got Into ______________
All of those videos were done by people who worked for us over the summer. It all just depends on who we get to work for us and who actually wants to be on camera. We'll try to get some more of those up as soon as we can.
Puffmaster80 that’s true but her example still proves a larger point
