The most meaningless thing any parent to say to a kid is "it's their loss," because it ain't. Better to focus on what the kid can achieve for him or herself wherever they end up going. Fact is, for a lot of kids and parents, college admissions is the first thing that they cannot control and the first time a lot of kids have ever heard to word no. There is a positive in that.

My GPA was a 4.613, and I got two B’s so whatever that is unweighted.I think it’s like 3.95 or something. My class ranking was 12 out of 479. I got a 2220 on the old SAT which converts to like a 1520 on the new one. I never took the ACT, but I took some subject tests and did about as well on them subject wise as the subjects in the SAT. I played varsity soccer. We were ranked fifth in the nation and won state. I was the captain of my club soccer team and we were in the top 3 in the state. I was captain of my team for model UN and we won state for that as well. I was in senate so even though I didn’t have a leadership position in it, I did a lot of volunteer work. I was a semi finalist for a national writing competition, meaning I had won it at the state level. I took so many AP courses I don’t even remember them all. I think I took everything my school offered except like, art, calc BC and chem, and that was only because I didn’t have schedule space for the latter two.(our school made us take chem before AP chem and my middle school wouldn’t let me skip 7th grade math even at the advice of my teacher so I had to wait through the lower tier math courses.) I was in the school’s show choir which was audition only (idk if it’s like that at other schools?). Even though I never took lessons, I played piano and violin reasonably well and because I made it all the way through AP Spanish, I was pretty good at the language. When I applied, I had the ideal application. My teachers thought I was going to end up at Stanford or somewhere in the Northeast, and they wrote me very generous letters of recommendation. When I interviewed with a man from Georgetown, he said he would love to have me as a future alum and would express that to admissions. And then the responses for application after application came in the mail in small white envelopes with two paragraph letters that said invariably the same thing. I had not been admitted. There were many qualified applicants. We regret to inform you of this, but we wish you success in your future endeavors. I got one admission into UCSD’s bioengineering program, and another to University of Arizona, and then to my two state schools in New Mexico. The maximum academic award for UCSD was $2,500 a semester and they informed me I’d received it, but being out of state and wholly unspecial in my genetic identity or upbringing, that would be all they could offer me. $60k instead of $65k a year was very generous. By the time admissions were over I didn’t even bother to take the rest of my AP exams (8 my senior year of high school) because it wouldn’t help. I dropped all of the hard classes my last semester, and just took it easy and waited for college while I watched my friends accept admits to Yale, Stanford, Princeton, Brown, Duke, Georgetown, Georgia Tech, UPenn, Columbia, Harvard, MIT... I still don’t know what I did wrong. But, I went to a state school, graduated with Honors with my bachelors in mechanical engineering. Now I’m in grad school at the same place, working on marine drones. I have a satellite that’s manifested on a Virgin launch. The same launch as one from MIT. I have posters of it hanging in labs at NASA Goddard. I’m working on a new satellite and we’re filling out paperwork to get it launched as a science mission with the ISS. I got an internship at one of the largest aerospace and defense companies in the world, along with students from Georgia Tech and Stanford and CalTech and UT Austin. I have a full time offer from them pending graduation. I have no debt. I got to go to a conference for my work where I shared a room with Mike Pence and Buzz Aldrin and Jeff Bezos and the heads of space agencies. I didn’t go to a particularly great school. I don’t even know if it’s regularly on the Top 200. But it was home and cheap and accredited and now I’m in the same place I would have been if I’d spent $200k for a piece of paper that said the name of an Ivy League instead of the one I have. Maybe I would’ve had some better opportunities. My network could be more developed. My projects and capstones and research could have better resources. But long term, I lost very little.

Basix6six honestly dude, if you’re motivated it doesn’t matter where you end up, as long as it’s accredited for your degree. The college admissions process is dehumanizing as all hell, I don’t even think it’s worth it to stress about. If it’s a lifelong dream to attend a certain school, then by all means shoot for the stars. But otherwise, they factor hundreds of things out of your control. So many kids submit applications with the exact same stats that a rejection isn’t about your worth or your merit. It’s about a lucky draw or a bigger sob story or whether you’ll throw off their ratios of males and females or blacks and other minorities and whites. They’re not accepting merit, they’re accepting an image. That’s why kids with low GPAs and test scores will get in while some kid with a near perfect or perfect scores won’t. And any number of scenarios. Besides, if you graduate without debt or with a low level of debt, you’re already far better off than most others attending “top” schools. Try your hardest, do your best, and remember that a uni doesn’t define you. There are millions of jobs. Not everyone hired can come from an Ivy. And not everyone promoted does either. Good luck with whatever you endeavor to do!

The food poisoning story makes me so angry!!! Like for _reals_?!?!

Great video as usual! I always love the topics 🤩. Keep up the good work👍🏾

Super good to know! Thanks!

When I get rejected from my dream school Harvard I’ll say I was “too good”

Excellent information. Thank you!

I could tell that this whole video was tearing at you. You're precious, and a gift to the people who frequently watch your videos.

Does being an author of a 300-page novel count as a 'wow factor'?

Paakhi Maheshwari for a non-Ivy school, totally. well done! however for ivy league schools, ‘wow factor’ would be if your book will get critically acclaimed or win something. good luck!

Man, watching this after being lectured about my psat score is a whole experience.

Make the best of the schools you were accepted to. Don’t focus on your rejections. I was waitlisted to a bunch on schools despite a perfect academic record and multiple leadership positions. I ended up getting a full scholarship to a state school so I just went there. I found my place and was able to get involved in jobs and research on campus. I was accepted to my dream medical school at the age of 20 and will be able to graduate debt free unlike my friends who went to elite private schools. Don’t focus solely on the schools status!

This is why I support a return to traditional or metric based admissions. This video confirms it!

heyy, thank you so much for the viceo! Would you consider doing one specifically for international students?

3:00 oh so its discrimination based on something we can't control? gotcha

Thats life and they can do that

We can't be so pessimistic, everyone! We'll be fine, you'll all get into your dream school, just believe you can do it. How will you get anywhere if you don't believe in yourself first? And if you don't get into your dream school, that's fine, it wasn't meant to be. Life isn't just about one path, it's about the endless paths. Ones you may take a detour on and end up somewhere even more beautiful. Like a secret garden or a view of a gorgeous city. Just trust the process. ❤🌟

"Don't let your parent be your advocate". I'm watching this as my son needs to apply. That little side note on the top left hand corner probably saved my son's future haha!! Although I must have raised him right because he is pretty independent, it's only natural for us parents to give good advice, input and suggestions and I think that still stands. But he has just completed matric and I don't think any of us have adjusted just yet. I have to put another hat on and let my baby fly! Thank you!

As an international student, your videos are so helpful. Thanks a lot

can’t believe you guys have to write a different essay for each university you apply for 😨

I applied to colleges/universities coming up on three years ago, and I got into most of the schools that I had applied to with the exception of like 3 or 4 schools. All that matters is that I got into my top two schools. I am currently a sophomore at Penn State.

When your college counselor was an admissions officer at MIT (me)

Now I feel good transferring to a private school!

So funny that you mention Michigan rejecting someone to enhance their yield. When I was applying to business school, I got into Harvard (where I went), Dartmouth and Chicago and was REJECTED by Michigan. And I was an in-state Michigan student.

Mich rejection happened to me!! Wake Forest, too!

On naviance there is a way to look at the scores and ranks of people who are from your school and also applied to the same school and you can see who got rejected and who got in. I only applied to schools where acceptances were near my grades

excellent!

Many private schools have savvy college counselors that are really good... My private school doesn’t even HAVE a college counselor.

My question: when you reference an advocate, could this also technically be athletic coaches? I know guidance counselors and teachers were heavily touched on, but what role can (or does) athletics play into for potential students?

can you post more sat video for the upcoming sat so i can get some tips?

For all of the high school students watching this: don’t get discouraged if you don’t get accepted into all your college picks, or even ANY of them. Ultimately, your biggest safety is a community college or a local public university. The first two years of college are the same at Harvard and your local community college in terms of academics, and admissions teams know this. You are free to transfer and move around and do anything you want once you’re at ANY college, and ultimately...... maybe it’s for the best if you go to a public university instead! I felt so pressured in high school to go to a college that was the best of the best and not go to community college and whatever but ultimately something really bad happened to me in my senior year and I ended up going to community college by choice and it ended up being the best decision I’ve ever made. I’m now at a public university, I’m graduating relatively debt free this December and I’m gonna be able to go to grad school as pretty much wherever I want. Ultimately, a lot of my HS friends who ended up at prestigious universities are in the same boat as I am, and some of them are doing worse than me- or switched to a more local university to move closer to their parents. You shouldn’t freak out about college and let it consume you right now. Trust that wherever you go, you’re gonna succeed, and make decisions based less on what’s the most prestigious school (although absolutely go if you get into Harvard) and more on where you wanna live, how you can save money, and what kind of schools have good programs in your major.

What are the best boarding schools and why do they help

Same goes for finding work once you are out. Similar to applying to college there are several steps--send in a resume/application then if the person that reads that likes it and bumps it to the top you get an interview. Then if they like you in the interview they may call you in again or they may do an initial screening first. Just like companies colleges look for different thing and that varies from school to school. I had good grades for example but the SAT was my nemesis--hated it and thought that half the words I would never use again because nobody talks like that or even writes that way in real life. Anyway, some schools put a ton of weight on standardized tests while others look at GPA and extracurriculars and such more. What it comes down to as well as the video says is your future can be in the hands of one person and maybe that person had a catastrophic morning and (exaggerating here) marks your essay down because you missed a period somewhere. Sadly the job world is not much better. You can get a bachelors, masters what have you but your success still seems to fall in the hands of others.

Excellent

#4 So this is why i didn't get into a school. I applied. Got extra help over another, I'm currently in, and i got on the wait list! Mistake on them.

I should not have watched this after already submitting my applications. I am STRESSING now

Woah… the fact that you chose U-Mich made me double-take. So accurate.

To add to #3 a lot of schools are trying to avoid using legacy to a candidate’s advantage so it might not be as beneficial as you’d think.

My daughter had a 4.0, valedictorian of a Tennessee public school with a 31 ACT (32 superscored). Good mix of extracurriculars and lost her mother to cancer as a freshman and still kept a 4.0 through graduation. She was rejected from my alma mater at UVA (a pretty selective out of state public university). One thing that bugged me is she mistakenly selected an essay for the wrong prompt on the common app. We used a college prep service and the lady said "leave it. You write very well (she does) and best not call attention to it." Seemed very odd to me but she was the expert. Would that have concerned you as a reviewer? Also, what do you think of a tasteful letter appeal of the rejection? With her stats, I was amazed she didn't get even waitlisted as a legacy.

Typical of UVA. I heard from some community college advisors in the DC area that a few of their students were top of their class--well rounded and still got rejected from UVA. So they went to the CC, got their assoc degree through the guaranteed admissions program as a transfer and bam! Instant approval. Shady process if you ask me.

Heres so advice if you only went to an art high school and middle school and you apply for a steam college you most likely won't make it si chose wisely on what high school you go to

I watch one college video and now my recommendations are flooded 😅😂

Honestly i cried so much today becz of how much pressure and stress i have.. I do have a good gpa n im not worrying about that but I really dont know how to improve my sat score... u even have to do extracurricular to stand out m bunch of things... n im a immigrant student.. this is not even my first language... idk wht i will do.. im trying so hard

My stomach turned with so much anxiety about college I thought I might puke... omg so much stress

My high school on a college state university has a deal ( I dont know what to call it) with its parent university so I know that I will get in to a 4 year college. Its saved me a lot of anxiety even though it is not top choice. It's a good backup.

In 2018 I got into Case Western, which has about a 30% acceptance rate, with a very generous scholarship. I was also deferred, waitlisted, and ultimately rejected by Ohio State, which has a much higher acceptance rate at 50%. I was told by a college admissions officer (friend of the family, works at a different uni) that they often defer students with dual enrollment credits until they know whether or not they have enough room in their upper classes. I earned 28 credits my senior year of HS so this may be the case. Ohio State was a very safe school for me and it was shocking to have been denied, but I ended up attending Miami of Ohio with a very good scholarship and I feel I’m getting excellent instruction at a place I love. Basically, the college admissions process is often a miserable experience. Have confidence that you’ll end up where you belong. And if not, no biggie. You can always transfer. I’m sure you will all end up finding success at a school you love!

Also... please study for the ACT/SATI got a 31 ON the ACT and didn’t feel like studying or retaking it and I regret it to this day! Test score based scholarships are very common and the 30-32 range is often quite good, but the 33+ range is EXCELLENT.
