yuhh we love being average college applicants :))

this is so relatable!! all the other ppl w "realistic stats" were well over 4.0 gpa and 30 on the act, which i didn't find realistic, but after watching your video, I have more hopes now! I'm currently a junior with a similar stats and ec's, and this brings me more hope! thank u for making this video

omg we are literally the same student!!! it is so good to have someone to relate to, it’s definitely making me feel better as a junior going through this stressful college process!

your voice is literally so soothing what

I'm a senior and I don't have many extracurriculars. Really regretting it, more than grades because a lot of the times strong ecs> avg. grades. But you're only a sophomore!! I would recommend looking up online volunteering, working/submitting to online publications (like student run ones) or you can start your own! Just find a topic you are passionate or knowledgable about and start a website for it (on wix). Eventually try to grow it and maybe make a club.

hii!! just know that you do not need to do anything in school. maybe if you go to church or the park a lot you could ask for volunteering hours there, there's many websites online that ask for volunteers. if you're good at writing or if you're an artist you can publish your work, you can start a foundation (like selling handmade stuff for money for a good cause), you can do academic or sport tournaments. you can start a server, club or website online (it would be good if it was for a good cause). or maybe your parents could let you help at their work, or you could find a physical/online job yourself. but def try to talk to your parents :( school offers many clubs that could lead you to extend your passions, and they're practically the easiest options.

this really made me feel so much better about my stats because they're similar to yours especially because my small school didn't offer many/any honors classes freshman/sophomore year :)

You can say u had a nice childhood and you will do better where ever you go 😇

I feel relieved... As a student w. a 3.81 weighted (3.59 unweighted) and some bummy scores (1210 psat and 26 preACT) I feel good knowing that I have a chance at making it to college. I've done 5 AP's and did garbage so i feel good knowing i still got a chance :)

@ryleighk2407

A 1210 on the psat is good! I got a 1240(I’m a current sophomore) and collegeboard said I scored in the 95th percentile! So don’t stress about the 1210

I love this so much! It’s so nice to see other realistic senior videos. Makes me feel better I’m not the only one without a 4.0 and perfect scores lolol

this is so refreshing to see😭😭

Your stats are amazing! Those colleges are missing out on a queen 😭

WTF those stats are really good

does anyone know if starting a club in senior year and doing a bunch of remote volutneering online summer of senior year will have any impact at all? My ECs are bare asf except for things I am adding right now.

can i specify in my essays that i didnt have leadership positions bc of social anxiety? i didnt do any outside extra curriculars either bc there were no opportunities mentioned by school

Ur extra curriculars definitely saved you!!

damn i wish my extra curriculars were that good tbh, im from Indonesia and covid here is bad and theres just not much opportunities for an internship. Right now I have head of arts for the students council, designed the yearbook with 2 other ppl, a part of the school’s newsletter, volunteered in some orphanage schools in jakarta and taught art/english, oh and also found the cure for cancer. k ye besides the last part, idk if thats enough cuz a lot of ppl sound like they are the head of clubs but tysm for the advice in ur video. Im just overthinking a lot lol

Your gpa is really good! I' over here with a 3.6/3.7 haha. HELP. And any tips for the ACT, I know to study, but anything else?

How is a 3.9 weighted gpa “average”? The average gpa is 3.0.

Usually weighted GPA’s are out of 5.0 so a weighted gpa of 3.9 is equivalent to an unweighted gpa of 2.9

sign up for classes you think you can do the best in, but don’t forget to challenge yourself! if you do well in regular and think you can do well in honors, you should sign up for honors! the rigor of the classes definitely add to it but as long as you do well in your classes you’ll be good! good luck :)

I’m an international student planning to apply in the us, we don’t have that much stuff in the extracurricular department, just volunteering and sports , is that ok?

So I’m a junior rn and my gpa this year so far is like a 3.9 but in freshman and sophomore year I slacked off and got a few C’s and at one point a D. Im looking to completely turn things around the next 2 years. I am in 2 four year sports and a couple clubs. Is it too late to go to a high quality college? Or is it showing that I’m improving and becoming more passionate?

When you take the ACT or SAT multiple times, certain colleges will take the highest combination of your scores, or super score. Say you got a 1400 with an 800 in math and a 600 in English, but then you took it again and got say a 700 in English, your super score would be a 1500.
