So I applied to 12 schools in the US as an international student from Malaysia, and all of them are considered "reach" schools with a mean acceptance rate of 7.225% for the Class of 2024. These 12 schools were Stanford, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Columbia, UPenn, UChicago, Cornell, Dartmouth, Brown, Johns Hopkins, and Northwestern.

Hello. Congratulations on your acceptances. You basically got into all of my top choice universities. I am also doing A levels (CIE) and I’m an international student too. Can you please make a video about your stats, tests, ecs, awards etc that you had listed in your common app. I’m sure it’ll help all of us who are aspiring to get into these prestigious universities.

@Katie Ellen Tu I think it's established that the college system is more about making money than actually educating. But going in debt for a piece of paper is unfortunately a prerequisite to be "successful" in today's world.
