COLLEGE DECISION REACTIONS 2021 (21 schools: Yale, Brown, Harvard, Columbia, Johns Hopkins, etc)

[@masterunner]

Congratulations, Ava. You made the right decision. Brown is a wonderful university. We love watching reaction vlogs and comparing your feelings and experiences with ours from long ago. Good luck at Brown. We were last on campus in 2018 for a reunion event. - Joseph Burno (Brown class of 1976) and Delmena Burno (Brown class of 1978)

[@avabsmd]

Thank you so much, Joseph and Delmena! It's wonderful to hear that you both have lots of love for the university, and I'm so grateful for your support.

[@frederalbacon]

Imagine finding out that you got into Brown, AND are going to be a doctor, at 18, within the same second. That's crazy, congratulations!

[@chriskim5227]

I really like the way you stay calm and composed throughout the whole process. I think your mindset during the results is really healthy. Congrats.

[@avabsmd]

Thank you, I really appreciate that!! It took a while to get to that mindset, but I'm definitely glad I had it during the process :)

[@raulshui7038]

Congratulations!!!! Another Bruno ‘25 here 🙋‍♂️, see you in the fall! (PLME is so incredible)

[@avabsmd]

!!!! oh my goodness that's so exciting!! can't wait to see you there :))

[@lilieseat12]

I swear, I spend most of my time on these videos debating on whether I should scroll down or not.

[@mpat100]

Well done Ava, me thinking PLME at Brown, imagine not having to do that MCAT!

[@avabsmd]

Thank you!!! and yes, that's something I'm definitely looking forward to not having to do ;)

[@Adam-he8sj]

2 Ivy leagues??? Wow!!!! Congratulations!! I didn’t get accepted in any Ivy league unfortunately but I ended up going to Cockrell School of Engineering at UT Austin and I couldn’t be happier!!!

[@avabsmd]

Thank you so much!!!! And woww, CONGRATS!!!! UT Austin is an amazing school, and engineering programs are so hard to be accepted into. You've worked for this, now go and enjoy your time there 😊🎉

[@brianlewis2827]

Congratulations! Not many people pass over Yale, but I can see why you did in your case. PLME looks like a great program.

[@theatregirl7851]

congratulations!! you seem like such a cool person and this is so amazing! also i really appreciate the closed captions! 😁❤️

[@avabsmd]

Aw thank you so much!! Haha and I appreciate you letting me know the closed captions are being used, so I'll keep up on putting them in there 😊

[@nusaman]

Well done. My daughter was not sure about med school out of high school so she did not apply to PLME. She did get into Yale, Harvard, brown and Stanford (where she will graduate in 2023). But she did end up choosing to go to med school and probably regrets not having gone the PLME route. Premed classes, MCAT, and now the med school application stress could all have been avoided. Enjoy Brown, I know I did. Class of ‘89 !

[@avabsmd]

Thank you so much!! I am definitely enjoying Brown - it's a fantastic school. And congratulations to your daughter. Stanford is another amazing choice!

[@zachfinemusic]

This video made me so happy. You obviously worked so hard for these accomplishments! I hope college is going well! I am starting law school soon. I won’t make a video like this but I hope I get scores needed to get into schools like these lol

[@OisheeSJT]

Wow! Brown seems like such a good place for you! Those are all amazing schools! I am so happy for you. I have a lot of similar schools that I am wanting to apply to. Do you have an email or anything that I can ask you questions about college applications and all that? I am also wanting to go into medicine and I think you might have some good information for me. Congrats again!!

[@avabsmd]

[@aizam]

LMAO NOT THE SCHOOL BELL

[@Beck-Stein]

The brown plme surpasses any school out there including harvard. The structure of the plme is so geared towards the students interests unlike other joint programs. I am hoping my son is admitted as well. Are you still doing the essay readings? I may need your services.

[@Charginghandled12]

Congratulations

[@jezabelpagan4797]

What is the advantage of a bs/md program? Does it saves you years of study? Or just not having to apply to med school later?

[@wailamirza1084]

She probably might not give MCAT for which I am preparing right now

[@leabri6888]

the laugh tho lol congrates

[@stevensproull9388]

Why didn't you apply to Faber College...

[@laharikolli1999]

Congrats ava but what's your sat score and 12th gpa

[@avabsmd]

I just uploaded a new video!! If you'd like a detailed breakdown, the stats video on my page will give you all the info :))

[@theatregirl7851]

also, i’m a rising junior and i’d love to know what types of extracurriculars and awards you had throughout high school! brown is my dream school right now 🤩💕

[@avabsmd]

Absolutely, I'll definitely put out a video on that!! It should be uploaded in the next week or so :D

[@ValentinaBluedog]

I’m pretty curious, what’s your GPA and SAT?

[@avabsmd]

I actually recently made a video on this!! Visit the second video on my page if you'd like to see a breakdown of my stats :)

[@Nn.65juk]

Omg in my country there 49 colleges and some of the are illegal. I wish i was born in USA there are so many good colleges.

[@Nn.65juk]

WHY I DID NLT WERE BORN IN THE USA? Tere mamy good colleges to go. Meamwhile in mine there are only 21.

[@isabellagoss2999]

Isn't that purple W in the thumbnail University of Washington?

[@avabsmd]

Good eye! It is, but I accidentally forgot to put that reaction into the video haha.

[@lexi7154]

I have a question, How do you show demonstrated interest in colleges?

[@avabsmd]

There's lots of different methods for this - One of the most formal ways of doing so is by applying EA or ED. However, there are also plenty of other options. Some informal ones are attending webinars and similar events put on by the college. For colleges that you live near, I would also recommend touring in-person. One thing that I would recommend for all colleges is signing up for interviews - make sure to sign up early, as spots fill up fast!

[@stevensproull9388]

Ok College Girl...The Semesters Are Coming To An End Across America...Your First Semester...How Did You Do???

[@laurenattard8460]

I hope she's doing a move in vlog

[@avabsmd]

I did!! The video's up on my account now :))

[@maryam-cd4us]

how can you apply Yale in early and regular decision also congrats

[@nealsteger5081]

she was deferred which means they would have her answer by the regular decision comes

[@avabsmd]

Exactly what @Neal Steger said!! If you are deferred by your EA or ED school, your application is moved into the regular decision applicant pool. So I didn't apply to both rounds, my application was moved to the RD round by the admissions committee

[@laurenap_]

I applied to Brown!

[@heshamhyari2018]

how do you apply for the bs md programs?

[@Sophie_kent]

Did you get a scholarship from brown?

[@avabsmd]

Unfortunately, none of the Ivy Leagues offer merit scholarships. :( However, I would recommend applying to local and independent scholarships, which is what I did! Often, local organizations will offer these.

[@Shadow-zi7mh]

can you show your why md essay?

[@avabsmd]

I'll put it on the list of vids to make!

[@mookie449]

Who applies to 21 colleges? So ridiculous.
