COLLEGE APPLICATION TIPS YOU MUST KNOW (ACTIVITIES + HONOURS THAT GOT ME INTO NYUAD)

[@ladyashong]

What's up guys! Welcome back to my channel. College applications are coming to a close and so here are my last-minute tips to really smash those applications. Good luck✨

[@-Sai-7299]

Hii! It’s me again. I had a question. So I am still unclear as to how college and stuff works 😅 Does everyone have to choose a major and a minor? If a minor is optional, and I decide to take up majors and minors, do I pat xtra for the minor? (Hope that one made sense) Do full scholarships cover your minor courses too?

[@ladyashong]

Hey, everyone has to choose a major but minors are optional. You can take classes related to your interest or take requirements necessary to fulfil the minor. From my school, what you study doesn’t change the financial cost

@@ladyashong oh, so if I plan on majoring in psych and minoring in music, I won’t have to pay extra for the music? That’s amazing. Thank you so much

the thought of getting into NYUAD wakes me up every morning, im still in grade 11 but i hope to make it there! 😫

Wishing you the best!

What I love about this video is that it’s catered to everyone, not just the highest achieving students. Like you gave advice on what to do if you don’t necessarily have ‘honours’, which I think is the case for most people. So thank you for thinking about those students too!

[@ladyashong]

Awww thank you! I really appreciate the feedback, yes it’s really important for students to know that they can go for anything regardless of their background🙌🏾

i don’t rlly have any extracurriculars that i do, let alone excel at. any tips on what i should do about that. i’ve done a few programmes last year but but it’s not rlly enough.

[@ladyashong]

Hey, sometimes extracurriculars could be a passion project that you can start at any moment. For example if you are interested in art potentially you can start doing digital art and posting it on social media. I liked photography and so I started taking pictures of people outside of school and I counted that as an extracurricular. I hope that helps!

Did you have to fill out your css profile every year for NYU AD

[@ladyashong]

Hey, no it was only for the first year (freshman year) that I did but then they changed the policy to just filling it out once.

[@HarryKingwood]

@@ladyashong hi so just to confirm you only need to fill it out when you’re applying and freshman year

[@ladyashong]

@@HarryKingwood Hi, yes, I only filled out my CSS profile when I applied and again during my freshman year but then the policy changed. I believe it is still the same policy but you can reach out to the admissions team to fully confirm.

[@HarryKingwood]

@@ladyashongand also can you stay in dorms during the winter break or do you have to leave

[@ladyashong]

@@HarryKingwood Hey, most people leave but if you have a strong reason to stay then you could communicate that with student life

[@HarryKingwood]

Did you receive any support in getting a laptop

[@ladyashong]

Hey, financial aid varies from every individual and so if you receive a stipend you can use that to purchase things like laptops. You can also work on campus to save money to purchase electronics.
