When you say get a job, does a generic job like working as a cashier still add to my application or would I have to work in something more specific to my interests

what to do if i want to major in foreign relations and maybe become a FSO?

advice for freshman (all honors classes, varsity sport starter, president of 1 club while participating in 3 others, charity for 4 years in national magazine, 4.0 gpa)

1:21 Anyone with the leadership chops that would make an Ivy League admissions officer's nipples hard would probably start their own business instead of go to college. Feh!

Hey, Im a freshman- still havent done anything and I got a bit of social anxiety and iM really shy- Im thinking of being a dentist or maybe something thats related to History- do you know any ECs that would help me to get into Yale? Its my dream college And btw i live in the US

Can I apply to your program as an international student?

A lot of people say that marching band is an bad extracurricular, but what if your highly competitive? Our marching band recently placed at grand nationals and we consistently place top 5 every year. In this instance, would it be a good extracurricular? Or should I still try and find something else

great video, thanks so much!

I am working on one of the largest NGO in my city. I started as an intern, and now I am an admin assistant. What do you think about this activity?

So I am going into 9th grade next year I am really good at speech and debate (more specifically congressional debate) I am incredibly passionate about economics and I run xc and track would this be good to get into a good school.

Thanks a lot for the video 🙏

whats with the ominous music lmao

Dang you are hella underated

Hi! You mentioned overly generic clubs- but are there any way to boost those clubs for your application? Right now, I’m in the process of creating a key club at the school, and it’ll be the first volunteering club we have. Once I (hopefully) get members, do you have any tips to make this a little more special?

I've been watching a lot of your videos and was wondering if you could give me a few tips. I'm currently a freshman with great grades, but not any impactful extracurriculars. As of now, I think I want to go into the CS or cybersecurity field, so do you have any recommendations for me to get into top colleges. (I'm open to basically anything 🙂)

Bro i tried a job at kumon and it sucked 😢. Also my grades dipped and i got some B’s that semester…..

Am I cooking? I’m an 11th grader trying to major in aerospace engineering and maybe run college track, here’s my EC list: -Varsity school track -Track club -Engineering club (pres, founder) -Aerospace research (college program+independant) -Aerospace college program -chess club (pres) -coding club (probably VP next year, planing to found electrical engineering branch) -NHS (officer, started some initiates within) -Paid job at grocery store (3 years) -piano

this is great. thanks so much, all the time i don’t think im doing enough, but now after watching this video i feel better because im doing things on here that you’ve said will differentiate myself. I started a new job over the summer and plan to continue at very least until next school year, and am running a youtube channel where i make video essays on discussing music (how an artist can go mainstream, my opinions on albums, artist biographies, etc) and plan on trying to make a fashion video to see if i like it. I’m also in humanities honors at my school and am writing a paper I plan on turning into a video eventually. I also want to try and start a small business as part of a big project at the end of the year. again thanks so much for the reassurance

Consistency

YES Please do this. This would help a lot. Such a great help, even though I am not graduating yet.

I'm excited to start!

thank u I am applying to UWC high school next year and I will take care of those questions

yeah plz go through exaples for each Q. Before next Monday cuz i have an Interview.

I had a Startup(based of Software Tech), in class 10 but it failed, and I learnt a lot of Lessons from it, Do you think it would be a strong point for me to get considered in An IVY?

Do you have instagram?

Consistency

First of all thank you so much for all of the advice. I really appreciate that you tell us how to do something instead of just what to do. I do have a question regarding the activities, would you say foreign exchange are worth it? My school offers 4 months of exchange in another country however it wouldn't help with the leadership position in my current clubs (it would be for the first 4 months of sophomore year)

I’ve been learning and building consistently, that has taught me to continue to work toward things I genuinely want and I’m still continuing to learn this even though its scary I hope I can accomplish all of my goals

Consistency ❤ Can U please Also Tell when we should Start applying Even for pre colleges

idk man, i always aspired to go to a great college after high school, but funding's a problem and it's even harder getting scholarships as an international student. kinda losing motivation to keep grinding.

Consistency

do colleges look at numerical gpa or weighted or unweighted only

My school is a really small and unpopular school, and it doesn't offer AP, IB or any honors classes. Neither do they allow you to join multiple clubs at once. Would this lower my chances?

CONSISTENCY!!!!!!

As a freshman I am interested in computer science but i am doing research project right now with the aim of getting into RSI in senior year. Is this too stray away from my core theme which is cs? Also i am doing my IGCSE so how do I get honors and ap's etc?

The fact that you gave the advice of listening to your guidance counselor rather than your self won my respect. You are a youtuber who truly cares about their community and you are a great help!

As a middle schooler, I appreciate the props!

appreciate it so much!

How you are setting a new editing style how do you come up with this,this is so under rated 😮

you're still so underrated this is so helpful

do you know if the cumulative gpa that colleges see is the unweighted one or the weighted one? because i got one b freshman year but i have an a in two of my ap's this yr so i'm wondering if that'll bring me down.

Hi, I have been interested in universities for the past few months and have been heavily researching different programs and schools. My current dream is Penn Wharton. After my mid-term came back at a low 94 avg do u still think I am able to go to one of the schools. I have a pending non-profit and I am a great rower.
