she goes to stuyvesant the admission officers have a verrryy close relationship with elite colleges and t10s will pick huge numbers of them because they're reliable and trustworthy to be good students. not excellent but very good. over say an excellent student from a lesser known school that's never been accepted to harvard before
you seem like such a humble person, and you are also not an insane national champion or something and I bet the college loved your humbleness!

Hey as a sophomore in high school I just wanna say that this video truly inspired me. I’ve always seen high schoolers on the internet starting non profits and studying abroad but as a first gen and low income student, I can’t take part in these overly ambitious projects. Congrats on getting into Harvard and MIT! ❤️❤️

I started a nonprofit helping the homeless in my city and getting it started costs 25$ all you will need is transportation to your events and a couple friends and you should be good. It will look like a great extracurricular so don't be scared to start one.

Hi, I am currently a junior and have a question. I took AP Calculus BC when I was a sophomore and AP Physics 1 as a junior. I received decent grades in both courses. I didn't take the AP exams this year, which means I have AP course credit but not exam credit. If I am interested in applying to top universities, do you think I should take the exams as a senior? Or do you think it is too late to take the exams as a senior?

Hello, l am in the 8th grade.We have 11 classes.

In addition, if I pass IELTS for 8, then I will know 4 languages.Of course, I don't have a certificate for the other 3.But I know them completely.Things are going very well with mathematics. After IELTS, I will study for the SAT. And also, this month I will already go to drawing courses with a good teacher, but l've drawn before, but it wasn't that professional.

you can dm @bridgingseas on instagram and im sure they will be willing to partner with your school ! bridgingseas is a high school club, so i haven't been a part of it since starting college but im sure that the new bridging seas exec would love to work with you !
