Is there someone watching this video in 2024 and serching for extracurricular activities 😂
Thank you it was sooooooooooo helpful 🥺❤
"15 most impressive activities", I have in a total less than activities what are you talking about?! Ok, now I feel miserable.... Thanks for the video though
when including your passion project in your application, would you include it in your EC’s? sorry i’m not sure if this is a stupid question i’m kind of navigating college apps alone 😓
Every time i watch these videos my self esteem drops
If it weren't for the fact that my parents are shipping our entire family to Kenya for 4 WEEKS, then I would have immediately accepted my ecology internship. 😂😢
This is amazing - this is the second I watched about the SAT and even though it doesn't tell any specifics, I now know what I have to do to ace the exam! Thank you Iris!
ISREALL? ARE FUCKING SERIOUS? FREE PALESTINE
I'm planning to write and publish a book sometime in my high school years, but the genre I'm passionate in writing doesn't really connect with my academics. Would I have to go for a more informative/nonfiction route in order to impress colleges? Tysm for this video, I'll definitely be using these tips in the future!
Replied to all 1k comments!?
I’m not really sure what to put for my qualifications so that mean you need to gain experience or gather some skills in a specific field before you send the email?
When a international transfer applicant should start applying for us universities
Thank you so much! Im 12 and ive been looking at college application videos for a year now so that I have a headstart on things when im actually in high school. Your videos are so helpful!
So she got into Stanford but not UPenn?😅
At the end of each Academic years at University, I just lived like Oliver Reed for three Months during the Summer drinking beer, lol.
You're more than just awesome and the whole process is scary. Your videos are amazing and so is your channel!!! Keep helping others and keeping making yourself more inspirational! :)
sending love <3. You rock!
Great advice! Passion projects and networking will take you far if you just get a head start :)
1. Debaters club(2021, 2024) 2. Technology center(2022-2024, I have my portfolio of programming, 3D modeling, soon robotics) 3. Economic club(2021, some certificates and courses) 4. Choir and vocals(2023, 3rd place in ensemble, 1st place choir) 5. Some Armenian competition, when I passed 2 stages and got into the last one 6. Physics international Olympics competition, when I got a recognition 7. Almost build an application for my school(this month I'll finish it) 8. Youth club(2021, planning this year too) 9. Biology, physics research Is it good enough?
She's gone...
I am in cold calling saas. First 10 seconds determine whether they listen to you or not further. I understood never give up, its tough but we have to keep pushing ourself.
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.

I wish my son would grow into a self motivated youth like you in the next a few years. I have been using the same principles like your mom. And he also lived in China with grandparents for a couple of years when I tried to establish a stable life as a first gen immigrant.
which did Community College did she go to?
Congratulations!! 🎉🎉 on your acceptance to Stanford
Congratulations!!🎉🎉
Amazing video
The college admission process these days is just beyond stupid… I feel for the kids these days
Thanks a lot!
Hey, I was wondering if my extracurriculars have to align with the department I choose to study, for instance, if I write about how singing has impacted my life ..and I want to study CSE, is it possible. It would be a great help if you'd answer.
Hello , can u pls answer you my questions , i am intertsed in animals and i wanna start a organization or program about animals , saving them and needs bur dont know how to :(
She was so good until she said is****
Great content, atrocious video editing. It's like listening to the Duracel Bunny after he took some crystal meth, it's just too much.
I am a first year bpharmacy student and i wanna apply for scholarship (Korean scolarship) and i am growing a UA-cam channel of cooking so is it okay if i attach my UA-cam certificate with my extra curricular activities I don't know whether it will increase or decrease my chance of getting scholarship Can you give me some advice plz 🙏
Do you think that most students can afford summer programs at Yale and Stanford? It seems like that if you want to get into an elite school - even though the students at these schools argue against privilege and social justice - you need to have some money. I find these videos interesting. It is sort of a self fulfilling hypercritical loop. We want social justice and equity but is it really there? Statistically it isn't. A recent Harvard study by a Harvard professor showed that if you are in the top 1% of the wealthiest in the world you have a 47% chance of getting accepted into an Ivy. I really am confused....

I'm 13 and starting highschool next year and I'm rlly trying to get into the college process already ! I think a head start is gonna benefit my future self a lot. This account is already really helping me and my process <3
You're amazing, I'm proud of you for starting so early
absolutely no disrespect but everyone says that and stops after like a week
im starting in the middle of my 2nd year (14/15)
Get the best of your time, we trust you, it's from someone who lost two years of their high school, go for it! ❤

Hi Fu!!! Can you pls pls let me know about the Summer School in Stanford for Computer Science, Robotics n mechanical engineering.
I’m writing a book but one of the main topics is SH Would you think that it would still be able to be published without being considered “inappropriate” I would love you hear your input❤️❤️
I have a question (sorry I can’t get on call) but if I’m really passionate about writing fiction will self-publishing be enough? I don’t think news presses will want to cover a fantasy or sci-fi book.
Hey guys, what's up? I'm an ambassador for the Crimson Competition, I have a discount coupon for "The Harvard Crimson Global Essay Competition", registration ends on January 31st.

Our school, a boy got into Harvard with a state champion for piano.
Hey, I love this video and it was super helpful!. You mentioned that you got involved in political stuff during the summer. How did you find those opportunities?
Hi Iris! First of all this is seriously one of the best resources I've come across. Everything was so clearly said and I was able comprehend what you were saying. Second of all, I wanted to confirm if the common application portal is on the website of the colleges you are applying or is it a separate website?
The palestinian guy is so inspiring. Watching this in 2023 and it's still making an impact. Cangrats on making us more comfortable with these essays and thank you
