Hey guys!!! This video will be detailing the 5 Common Application Mistakes you're making, and if not now, will make, when you apply to college or university in the United States. I have faced these when I was applying so I wanted to make this video to help all of you avoid them :)
The video will go over the mistakes to avoid in the honors and awards section, the extracurricular activities section, and finally the Additional Information section.
Lastly, CONGRATULATIONS to all of the Dreamers Scholarship winners. So so proud of all of you and I cannot wait to see you in class.

@@shreysomani359 and due to this, i was in a hoax of a believe that if i get perfect grades, gpa, i can rest well get into good colleges but infact, even with perfect scores... it doesnt work out that way. Now i only have 1 year to practice for boards as well as prepare my ecs and this is very straining, on top, working on my essays and applications

#suggestion Bro make sure to start this scholarship next year before hand so that we can get enough time to perfect essays after taking guidance from your courses
Do you think that talking about a C or B grade in the additional information portion would be helpful? I chose to take a really challenging class for my skill and I didn't do as well as I hoped, but I wanted to talk about how it was a learning experience for me that led to growth.
Please start posting videos for the guidance of fall 2021 applicants applying early . It would be much useful like this one related to common app mistakes as I don't have any counsellor or teacher who can guide me in the admission process
Hey, I was trying to add the link of my poetry blog and some of my other writings in the additional section, but when I pasted the link there, it just came off as a normal text, not a link. What can I do about that?
