    It's April in my junior year and I feel like I've wasted any summer opportunity i could possibly put towards my future. I keep hearing about these amazing programs at my dream schools that closed off applications in February, so I never had a chance to get in in the first place. Your advice about passion projects has really given me motivation, because I can pursue STEM interests even if I can't attend an official program.

    Hi Iris! I loved this video, it was super helpful! Would you be able to talk more about your experience taking online classes at OSU, and specifically your experience taking Intro to International Relations? I am very interesting in pursuing International Relations or Political Science in college, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on the class! Thanks! :)

    • @irisfu6929
      @irisfu6929  4 года назад +3

      Hi Alexa! I took intro to IR online when I was studying abroad in Taiwan. The experience of learning about IR while abroad was something special. The class was very heavy on reading, but there were only four essays we had to write throughout the quarter (10 weeks), and those essays were 90% of our grade. It was definitely challenging to be pushed to write at such a high level (usually 7-8 page papers responding to dense readings) while still in high school. However, the professor was super responsive and gave quick feedback to my discussion posts and essays. I found that my writing abilities grew exponentially. I hope this is somewhat insightful, and let me now if you have further questions!

      you can apply to almost everything i mentioned in the video and linked in the description as a freshman. Tbh, I'd apply to a wide range of things as a freshman, just to see what I can get. MITx is also a great program that I got rejected from :/ but for a lot of these, if you apply for a second time, you may get a leg up. Plus, you'd have more experience with the app and that'd help you do better in the apps process as well. Hope this helps!

      I don't think she is trying to hate on anyone, she is absolutely right about the threat we face. The Chinese government is pretty blunt in saying they want dominante, meaning #1 in the world for economy ect! It is disappointing to see you taking her comment into another context completely from what she is saying! The United States needs to protect itself! An stay competitive in order to stay relevant and secure!

    Iris, thanks for helping, but I have a question. (Maybe it'll be a stupid one, but I really need to know)
    So, my parents are hoping that I'll get into the top university / college of my country. It has an acceptance rate of JUST 0.7% and doesn't require ANY extracurriculars. Just clear the entrance exam (which is one of the hardest exams in the World) and you'll get in. But. One tiny part of me wants to get into Harvard badly. Most possibly my parents will help in EVERY way they can if I tell them. But... Even after being educated (my father is a professor) they think studying hard is the only key. Extracurriculars are ONLY for fun. *How do I tell them that I want to get into Harvard, and I need to do some extracurriculars?* I HAVE to tell them because in my country, children are REALLY dependent on their parents. If you read this far, thank you! Please answer if you can ❤

    Hello! You are such an inspiring person and I see passion in your eyes clearly! You motivate people so easily😅 I finished 8th grade this year and want to go to genetics school. I have plans to write a book. But can you help me please! I can write a book, but can I do also translate? I'm Kazakh and it's really common in our country to forget native language as we have a small amount of content in Kazakh. Can I translate book in English/Russian on Kazakh and publish it? (I really want to do that.) Will it affect on my app? Book and translated book. Thank you so much!!!

    If I were to do a blog on computer science, does it need to be successful for it to count as an impressive/worthy passion project?

    Does the common app still have a "summer programs" section if so what is the limit of programs you can put and also if you can put some of the "activities" section of the common app?

    hey!! I’ve practically binge watched your videos this morning and found all of them so helpful! I was wondering if you had any tips for underclassmen? Also, how did you discover your passion projects and how long did it take for you to develop them?💓💓

    • @irisfu6929
      @irisfu6929  4 года назад +8

      Hi Sydney!
      I will probably make a tips for underclassmen video soon in the form of high school regrets/letter to my freshman self. What aspects are you particularly interested in? (academics, extracurriculars, relationships, etc.?) Any specific questions would be really helpful in making this video!
      As for passion projects, I started the video pal program sophomore year and my book junior year. They didn't take long at all to start making an impact, about 3-4 months. I would try to see what problems there are in my community and create solutions for them. For example, lack of access to travel-->video pal program; underrepresentation of girls in economics-->econ book with gender neutral graphics.
      I hope this provided some insight and let me know if you have further questions!
      Iris

      awee you are so sweet and helpful!! I’d definitely love seeing that video! :) I definitely am interested in the academic and extracurricular aspects of high school. My first year went really well; however, I want to push myself outside of my previous comfort zone and develop more passions! I’m planning on going on the medical route, but the extracurriculars are a bit harder to come by for me. Is there a way to have passions that don’t relate to your intended major very much? Also, how can you set yourself apart from other applicants if you don’t have a unique background? Although getting into an elite university is rewarding, I also just want to have a good experience in high school. :) Could you share your experience balancing social life with academic dedication? Thank you for all of your help! You truly are an amazing person!!

    Can't believe i used to think this was normal. I did my masters in Sweden and they just care about your bachelors grades and your interest bc education is free for Europeans and everyone is entitled to it. The schools are still very good but there's no need for extreme competition by means of having a million extra things in your application. You don't need to impress them bc they think if you want an education, you ought to be allowed to attend the school. Why is this so revolutionary?

      there are sooo many different activities and actually I am also an introvert so let me list a few:
      1) languages ( learning a new language can be very exciting and looks fabulous on your college application)
      2) Writing a book ( you can write a book and it doesn't need to be an education based book even writing fiction books or fanticy books can boost your application a lot)
      3) coding ( you ca learn coding online for free and it has such a great impact on your application)
      4) graphics designing
      5) digital art
      6) animation
      7) basically any course you can do online and trust me there are hundreds and are very useful in the long run ❤

    You probably won't see this but. Im in 8th grade and want to do something over this summer, but all of the summer programs have an age req, do you know any summer programs that dont have an age req? I think I'm advanced for my age in areas like Math and Programming (Im in precalc this year, and know python and java). I'm trying to get into a good college and am trying to start now. Which summer programs should I enroll in, and which summer classes should I enroll in to get Highschool credit so I can take even more advanced class in HS. The classes I want to get advanced in that I'm required to take next year are Spanish 2, Stem Physics, Global Studies 9, Lit and Comp 9. I was wondering if there was a way to gain take and gain the credits for these classes over the summer.

I live on an island and we don't have any programs for teenagers to involve on), next summer going on a volunteer trip abroad in order to help to protect the marine life and (maybe) starting a swimwear sustainable online store is going to increase my chances of entering college with financial aid?

    also, i'm taking a summer class online at oregon state u's ecampus currently (rising junior). i'm also considering taking another one in winter quarter of the upcoming year (basically spring semester for high schools). however, i'm also taking 4 aps in core classes, and i don't know if this would be a good choice during the months leading up to ap exams. i was wondering if you had any advice, anything would be appreciated, thanks! :)

    • @irisfu6929

      I did NSLI-Y! I would say start your AP classes in the fall and see how the workload feels. Then, when winter quarter registration comes, you can decide. I think winter quarter ends in March/April so that'd be before AP season!
