Congrats on Cornell, My Dad had a BS and MA from Columbia, also a degree from Oxford. He was excepted to Harvard for his Masters, but we moved back to NY. I went to a City University of NY school for my BA, and got into NYU for a graduate degree. I'm not surprised about Yale, my Prof who had his Doctorate from Yale, wouldn't even write me a letter for Yale. He said you have to come from the right family, and have a lot of money to get in there. He did write me a letter for Teachers College Columbia University, but I didn't apply there. Neighborhood at night not so safe, someone tried to mug my Dad when he was going there. Safer to go to NYU neighborhood.

I'm wondering if I could still get in without taking any AP, IB or honors classes. There is literally NOTHING like that in my country. You don't get to choose ANYTHING except for when you're junior, you choose if you want to go for the natural sciences or social sciences. Then, you just learn what is in your books. Would the admission officers take that into account?

@@xxcarefull8046 I think they'll take your country and its curriculum into account. They even see if the school an applicant in the US is applying from has AP or honors classes and what the kids are supposed to do is take advantage of everything offered at their school. Since our schools don't give us such a choice, I think we'll be fine. All we need to do is perform well at schools, engage in extracurriculars and write good essays. Wish you all the best:)

@@xxcarefull8046 My plans are just to take advantages of any activity I get at my school or at my church. Or even doing tutorials. Find what you are passionate about and spend time doing it.

hey luv ! I know I’m not the creator, but I’m a rising senior too !! I would say this: do what you can & be confident with it !! look at places to volunteer at during the summer, it won’t hurt at all & will only help ! see if there are any things going on in your community at the moment that you can be involved in (it can be anything from helping at a soup kitchen or just helping out with something you’re passionate about like helping with a kid’s sports team or something) & maybe even involve some of your friends/classmates/family members to show you were a leader and encouraged more people to be involved in your community ! plus it’s always fun to do stuff with ppl you already know : )

Hey great video. These are some awesome tips. I'm a junior in highschool currently and I've always had my heart set on going to Cornell. I am worried that my school career hasn't been impressive enough, I get really good grades, but I haven't taken any AP classes yet. I have taken a lot of college level classes, but I know those aren't as impressive. I plan on taking AP classes my senior year, but I fear it's too late. Should I still try to apply or is it unrealistic for me to get in
@cynthialei3 жыл бұрын
What are you talking about?!? College-level classes are definitely impressive and if you got credit for it even more so. (Cornell most likely won't take them but it's a good indicator that you'll succeed in a tough academic environment like Cornell.) You should definitely apply and I wish you the best of luck! 🍀
