As an 8th grader entering 9th grade at Brooklyn Tech high school , I thought it would be hard for me to cope with the next four years, but this video helped me calm down and look forward to them.

I am currently on my summer break heading to 9th grade and Yale University is my dream school. This video definitely helped me to calm down and made me have an idea of what to do during my high school career to hopefully reach my goal. Thank you and good job!!!

Thank you so much! I’m going into 9th grade this year and I’m worried about all the things I should take and do. I go to a small school and not a lot comes from it so I wanted to prove to everyone I’m capable of going to Yale. You made me feel so much better and more confident.❤

I believe in you! I have a lot of friends from small high schools who are going to school with me! Same opportunities, same scholarships. It’s not the school, it’s the person, and I argue that a small school makes it easier to stand out. Keep pushing, keep trying and keep your head up. Much love, Kayla

Hi! I was wondering if you have any tips on teacher recommendations? Specifically how you should ask your teachers for a rec and if you need to provide them with any extra information before you ask them? I love your channel by the way!

@kaylasierrah

Жыл бұрын

My tips are: 1. have one from humanities and one from stem, it does you’re well rounded and capable of being great in multiple subjects 2. your teachers don’t have to be the ones where your grade it the highest! i asked my pre calc teacher (after failing 2 of her tests) and her rec was one of the strongest. 3. avoid teachers that aren’t from your junior (11th grade) year. 4. Ask them what their policies are for recs, ask them in person and then send them an email explaining what the rec is for (as proof and final confirmation for your rec). Many teachers will have you fill out a questionnaire for recs, but it’s good to tell them a little able yourself when sending an email. Be kind and make sure you follow all instructions given to you in a timely manner!

Hey! I need some advice. I am currently working for an Instagram page with over 120k followers dedicated to astrophysics, cosmology, and astronomy. The page regularly posts information on these fascinating topics. My role involves conducting research on various subjects and presenting the information in a concise and attractive manner for this page. I have been engaged in this position for the past 2 years. I am wondering if this experience could be considered a research internship or some other kind of activity. Moreover, I am applying for the undergraduate program in the Astrophysics department for the Fall of 2024, and I would like to know how I can present this experience in an attractive way on the Common App. And can you review my essay for yale?
