Wow! Thankss. Just when I was completing my essays! I'm actually struggling with the essay where you share on an idea that excites you. I really don't know on what to write fo make it both interesting and not cliché

the idea itself doesn't matter as much as your excitement/passion about it! your way of telling it will help it stand out

I realise now that this is unrelated but when you were talking about the list of classes in the theatre department, I looked at your outfit and my head instantly screamed Beetlejuice and now I can’t get it out of my head

hi! this question isn’t really related to college admissions but - please tell me more of your favorite writers / authors! specifically short story writers. you mentioned aimee bender but I would love to know more. I’m interested in finding writing that’s more realistic, raw and honest. your writing is wonderful and I’m inspired by your approach to the college admissions process in being so true yourself and never making it an obligation to present yourself a certain way. thank you!

What It Means When a Man Falls from the Sky is a really good short story collection i stumbled across awhile ago. im not super well acquainted with the short story realm but some of my favorite authors in general are haruki murkami and isabel allende!

Can I ask you a question should i apply to Yale after 12th or between 12th grade?

Hi Cassandra! I love your videos and find them very helpful! I was wondering if you included an art portfolio in your application? Thank you! Have a lovely day! :)

Hi Eesha! I did not, unless I was applying specifically for a theater-oriented program (I may have included sample scripts, etc). But many schools do have sections to include an arts portfolio and definitely would encourage you to do that if that is the direction you want to go in and you want to show off your skills!

Thanks, Cass! How would you recommend to do a rightful investigation of Yale (as you mention in 8:00) being an international student unable to tour the university?

@CassandraHsiao

great question! i would suggest reading anything you can from students' perspectives at yale. not only following the official accounts but the dialogue between students and yale official social media. our admissions blog is also a good start covering a ton of topics about academics, school life, extracurriculars, etc: admissions.yale.edu/bulldogs-blogs

Hey any advice for a freshman like extracurriculars and stats that you had as a freshman that would mean a lot! I've been watching your videos and theyv been helpful praying to be at the same level of success as you are.

i don't have a video dedicated to freshman year specifically, but i was heavily involved in journalism already in freshman year, which i talk about here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fayM0ZKMqMaxdrQ.html you can also start building your leadership skills as well (kzread.info/dash/bejne/eI1tlcmOaLfdoMY.html)

Have your plays really been performed in all those settings? That’s tremendous. Where did you take your first playwriting course? Any suggestions for other aspiring playwrights who might not have options nearby (or budget)?

Just curious: how much does journalism still mean to you? do you still engage in journalism in college?

@CassandraHsiao

hi thats a great question. i've largely turned my attention to other passions of mine, and much of that chapter in my life closed, but i was still able to do some awesome things like AAJA's Voices Fellowship, interview the cast of To All The Boys (kzread.info/dash/bejne/eHqjtLBtm9HWpto.html) and cover Comic-Con. But all of these activities are during the summer. During the school year, however, I blog for the Yale Admissions office!

Would you by any chance be willing to read any college essays? I totally understand if not.

@CassandraHsiao

a lot of time--maybe 6 months total? started in june, and edited throughout fall. but really started brainstorming ideas in march

I have a question for you. Did you have interviews with colleges like Yale, Harvard, Cornell, etc.?
