college decision reactions 2022! (ivies, top 10s, UCs)
Hey everyone! My name is Jisoo, and I'm an international IB student in the graduating class of 2022. Despite seriously cringing at myself, I wanted to share my reactions because these videos brought me a lot of comfort and motivation in my college application process, so I'm hoping that my video can do the same for you :)

Literally watched this superb applicant make history. Congrats on Johns Hopkins!! Yes, UC acceptance rates are on an all time low this year I guess or the possibly yielded you because judging from the schools you were accepted to, you seem to have some crazy good application, probably the admissions thought u will get accepted to schools with lower acceptance rates.

Thank you! I'm not too sure about yield protection, but I agree that UC admissions were very random this year :(

Yes this is right :,( over enrollment last year got UCs to be really careful with lower acceptance rate and bunch of waitlists this year.

UCs and USC don’t practice yield protection. Yield protection doesn’t explain their crazy low acceptance rates. It’s just a matter of fit.

Thank you so much, and again congrats on all your acceptances, you're amazing!!!

nah usc and ucla mostly whites and others by the percentiles. Truth really is that ucla take in lots of inter students so thats another factor, but ivies league also need to fill in on their inter students category so its easier for international students get accepted since its 15%+ of the freshman admissions. UCs test blind this year so the app pool increases so its a lil more competitive until 2024

Congratulations. You should go to Columbia that is my dream school.
Congratulations on getting into Northwestern! There really isn’t much of a difference between the acceptance rate of Northwestern and USC in 2023 though… Northwestern 9% USC 9.9% Wish you the best in wherever you go and whatever you do!

Hii Jisoo, did you apply for financial aid at johns hopkins?
You got into John's Hopkins, Northwestern, Duke and Brown but not UCLA or USC? You didn't loose anything. They probably looked at your stats and realized you would pick way better schools than their's. They probably knew your options would be broad and decided not to accept you because they have no chance of having you as a student.

I'm an IB student, so instead of GPAs, we have IB predicted scores. I'm not sure if IB scores can be converted to GPA, but I would guess that it would equate more or less to a 4.0 unweighted.

You have to take into account the fact that they have a tremendous number of applications each year - in the hundreds of thousands for the most popular UCs. Every kid in California applies to at least several UCs, and many more accross the nation apply as well becauce California. UC Berkeley and UCLA in particular are amongst the very best universities in the country and the world, so there's that element of extreme competitiveness added to the mix.
Accepted by Duke, Brown and Columbia, but rejected by UCLA and USC. Things are definitely shifting in the academic world.

But ye, your points are valid as well, also the UCs get full tuition from international students so they like that as well, hence why OOS often has higher acceptance rates

i was pretty shocked as well because the some of the UCs were my targets/semi-safeties, while most of the ones i got into were reaches. i think with the test-blind policy and the overall increase in applicants this year UC admissions got a lot more competitive/random. there's also been people saying that it's yield protection but the schools themselves claim they don't yield protect, at least not in past years. either way college admission in the US is super random, and this just proves it i guess.
