  • I've gotten a lot of requests to talk about my stats and extracurriculars, so here it is! Please don't take this video in the wrong way: my intention was to share my application details as a Canadian. If you enjoyed watching, subscribe for more content from me!
    Also, you might've realized that I didn't talk about my essays. Part of it is that they were pretty personal, and I don't want to share them on the internet. Another part of it is that I don't know why they worked. Arguably, essays are more subjective than test scores and extracurriculars. They are also more individualized, and I don't want people to take my essays as a formula for how to write their own.

    Ahh I'm so glad I found this video! It basically gave me a sigh of relief because I thought an international student would have to do some really crazy stuff to get into MIT, which is my dream school. I'm living in the US and unsure if I could get a green card by the time I apply to college, because so far my biggest accomplishment is just qualifying for Pink MOP (which you've probably heard of since you did math comps too)

    Wow, our experiences are really similar (guess it’s a Canadian thing). We even got the same SAT score at the same time in the same year of highschool. As a current junior aspiring to get into MIT math, I’ve been learning ahead in math and participating in a bunch of math competitions (but moreso out of my passion for math than to simply get admitted). However, I only recently learned about AP exams and so I’m predicting I won’t take as many APs as I’d like to by the end of highschool(currently I’m self-studying for bc and physics c mechanics; next year I’m planning to take at least physics c em, stats, chem, and lang) Hopefully I share the same fate as you and get into MIT, but ultimately it’s a luck thing!

      @qwerty if your school doesnt offer it, try self-studying at taking it at ap exam centres that may be available at schools nearby. if that isnt a choice, know that colleges will get a school transcript type thing that tells them that ur school doesnt offer APs, so the admissions committee will know and won't expect you to take them. as long as ur doing the most rigorous and engaging courses available to you, it should level u on the same playing field in terms of advanced courses. hope that helped!!

      Hi,
      I think you could apply for extracurricular activities outside of your school. For example I am part of amnesty international youth and help in a organization that gives people in need free food. Just look out for organizations near you! You can also do internships in hospitals, museums or other places.
      Playing an instrument or being in a sport club is also very good. If there are no sport clubs you can just start running and write that down on your admisson.
      If there are any MUN conferences near you I would definitely recommend you to take part in some of these.
      I hope I could help you :)
