2021 COLLEGE DECISION REACTION *i cried lol* (USC, UC berkeley, UCLA, UCI, UCSB, pepperdine + more)
soo i applied to 12 schools in total (mainly uc's and csu's bc i really wanted to stay in california) and i decided to film my reaction for all my acceptances (and lots of rejections too ❤️). feel free to comment what schools you got into so i can hype you up hehe ;)
i KNOW how stressful & overwhelming the whole college apps process can be, BUT i genuinely think www.collegeadvisor.com/rachel-kim can help y'all out so if you need help with your essays, etc., go check them out! you'll be receiving help from professional advisors and former admissions officers so you can actually trust them. i rly hope this helps some of you out!!

here in the u.k, we only apply to 5 universities, and wait for offers. once we get the offer, we have to meet the grade requirement to get in. so we can celebrate that we 'got in' but we still have to do summer exams. 🙃

You did so well. You did all your best and you shouldn't be sad but motivates you to do more and more. When I prepared to enter a university last year,they delayed the preliminary exams and this was very bad,the whole entrance session was a circus. But then it became a bigger circus when I was accepted in 3 unis but different majors. And now the circus is even bigger because I'm a med student...online.

ALSO,, a lot of you guys have been asking for a stats vid but i MOST LIKELY will not be making a whole separate vid on my stats so i'll just put them here: weighted GPA: 4.17 SAT: all of the schools i applied to didn't require SAT/ACT scores this year korean subject SAT: 800/800 (again, the schools i applied to were test optional so i think i just sent it to Pepperdine??) extra curriculars: youtube, figure skating, marching/concert band, Christian club leader, korean school teacher, art teacher, math and english tutor, student leadership team keep in mind that college admissions are rly unpredictable and it's really different for everyone!! whether you got into your dream school or not, i'm sosososo proud of you

I am currently going through admission decisions right now. This reminds me of my admission decisions process. I know how stressful waiting can be. I got waitlisted to UC Santa Cruz so I got really discouraged about getting into my other schools. UCI was my top choice when I got in too but my decision was quickly challenged by UCLA WITHIN AN HOUR! I was not expecting it whatsoever and now it's really hard to decide 😫 Also Korean family YAY! I'm also Korean so I'm happy to hear your family speaking Korean. Never let a rejection phase you. I have three schools left and still have yet to experience a rejection (if you don't count my 2 waitlists). But I will take it head-on and feel happy about schools I did get into.

It’s so nice to learn about other countries’ way of acceptance. Here in the Netherlands you apply to a university of applied sciences or university. A lot of the study programs don’t have strict cutoffs. For my study program (sociology) there weren’t any cutoff points so everybody that applied got in.

UC Irvine!! UC Irvine is such a home welcoming community, people support each other, and the resources are helpful. I heard people at Berkeley and other competitive schools mess with other people’s education where at UCI everyone is in it together. I think UCI is a great school especially if you like a higher pace school system which you can finish faster because I’m graduating UCI in 2 years instead of 4
