COLLEGE DECISION REACTIONS 2022! (harvard, northwestern, bu, emory...)

wasn't planning on making this video at all, but here i am posting this an entire year later oops... i applied to 16 schools under the major of neuroscience/neurobiology/biology. i also included all of my merit scholarships in the video because that factor was honestly what it came down to when choosing schools. to all the current seniors, the best of luck to you in your journey :) i hope you enjoy all of my reactions!

I love how you actually told us where you were going in the end. So many people that make these videos just leave the video on a cliff hanger. So thanks for not doing that 😂

[@aannapark]

haha i don’t like when people do that too 😆i’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@Ryan_914]

To be fair she posted this almost a year later, long after she committed. Most people post right after their last decision is out and need time to think before choosing the right college

[@idyllz]

I love this! It goes to show that low-acceptance rate schools aren't always better than higher-acceptance schools. Belated congrats on UArizona!!

[@aannapark]

thank you so much!

[@littlekoo5691]

I love how this college reaction vid is very realistic and not just all ivys! Also I’m glad ur having a great time at UArizona

[@aannapark]

thank you so much!! 🫶

[@warpig7605]

Like the way of how you’re calm when looking at the decisions for the colleges you applied to. Hopefully you can earn yourself a spot for the colleges you got waitlisted on.

[@aannapark]

unfortunately, i did not get off any waitlists. but i’m loving my current school!

[@DonzellLampkins]

Proud of you, Anna! And glad to hear you’re enjoying Arizona! Great school with great people!

confetti is quite exciting 🥳

Thank you so much for your honesty and vulnerability. As a parent of two college age students, I feel that the name of the college doesn’t define you but what you make of it. And now you won’t be straddled with an insane amount of debt!

Woah, as a high school student from Russia, it was interesting to see how USA education system works... And I learned a few new words. Btw, in Russia after high school you need to take specific exams, which results with determine what university you can get into...so gpa isn't really important. And we don't have credits system but it sounds interesting...

Congrats Anna💗💗 umm i have a question did u apply to all these colleges from the common app? And should we pay 80$ on every single application or some of them is for free?

[@aannapark]

thank you 💗 i applied to all except university of arizona and mcgill through the common app. some of the application fees were less than $80 and i got fee waivers for a few of them.

[@justanothergamer7918]

Northeastern is very rough to get into. I got deferred for the game design major. Looking forward to going to Fitchburg State next year.

[@tinadang4903]

Congratulations 🎉😊

[@aannapark]

thank you!!

[@ronbeaubien]

I was kind of surprised that you applied to Michigan State for neuroscience/neurobiology/biology, especially when you also applied to Harvard. The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, would likely be a better choice as it is much higher ranked than Michigan State. Congratulations on the University of Arizona acceptance and glad to hear that you like it there.

[@aannapark]

I wanted to apply to UMich but it was just way too expensive for an out-of-state student. Michigan State gave me money which is why I applied even though they aren’t as known for my major. Hope that helps! Thank you!

[@ronbeaubien]

@@aannapark - That makes a lot of sense. I'm sure the weather is better in Arizona than in Michigan anyway. As Americans we are lucky in that there are many excellent universities to choose from. The best of luck to you and I hope you have a great holiday season!

[@gal2208]

hi! i am also looking to apply to McGill, and I was wondering when you submitted your application? I have heard of people getting their results in late May, and I do not know if that is influenced by when they submitted their application. Thanks!

[@aannapark]

i think i submitted my application around mid-november so kind of early... but i got my results in february! i think it may be because of rolling admissions. hope that helps!

[@bestdaysmagasine261]

Could you please put in another video the universities websites so we could visit them ? Thank you

[@aannapark]

If you look it up on google the websites should come up! I hope that helps

[@kaivaughn380]

how do you know when a decision for a college is coming out that day? like all my friends seem to know but i never know the exact day, i just randomly see an email that says the decision is out lol

[@leopardduck4490]

I think you can usually look it up on the internet and see when results for a college will come out.

[@avocadosalad5778]

yeah, it depends on which university you applied to. Some tell you the exact day but some don't.

[@aannapark]

Like the other people said, a few of my colleges told me the exact date and others I had to look up on the internet. I applied to a bunch of rolling admission schools so the decision dates were all surprises to me until I checked my email.

[@marsmenagerie222]

some colleges have a specific day where they’ll release decisions depending on whether you applied ea/ed/rd. but some colleges don’t have a set date for when they’ll release the decision

[@lynettesuarez8176]

What month did you start to process your application in ASU and U of A? Just want to ask cause i’m confused on how it works😅

[@aannapark]

I applied at the beginning of August and both were rolling so they came back a few weeks later. They should have all of their deadlines on the website if that helps :)

[@extint3407]

For someone who's not an American. I automatically knew that she was applying for something relating to science or medicine typed subjects just by the title thanks to greys anatomy since they always mention those colleges😂

[@aannapark]

haha that’s so funny 🤣

[@petercharron3268]

McGill was the best acceptance on your list, better than many that rejected. Congrats on UA

[@aannapark]

it was too expensive for me as an international student and for the college of science so unfortunately i couldn’t go but i was so grateful for the acceptance!

[@petercharron3268]

@@aannapark got it. Sorry. Think you made a better choice. I went to graduate school at ASU and never would have gotten into McGill

[@mitchelljung8889]

I'm confused. How did you apply to multiple schools EA, despite doing harvard REA?

[@aannapark]

I didn’t apply to the other schools EA, I applied under rolling admissions (decisions come as you apply) so it didn’t conflict with harvard REA.

[@hestiaa3624]

How do you like your university so far for your major?

[@aannapark]

i love my major here!! i’ve met the most wonderful and supportive people in the same majors. since i’m a freshman, i don’t take a lot of neuroscience specific classes yet, but i’m involved in neuroscience research already and it’s super interesting!!!

[@jolielin3331]

I am a freshman in high school and I already started to think I am going to get rejected

[@aannapark]

enjoy your time in high school right now! i’m sure you will get into the schools right for you so don’t worry too much! ☺️

[@frankyang6582]

I can guess based on the schools you applied to that you're probably from West Michigan, possibly Grand Rapids area. I'm curious, why didn't you apply to UMich?

[@frankyang6582]

You probably would've gotten in being in-state, and it's a higher ranked school with very cheap tuition for Michigan students.

[@aannapark]

I’m actually from Illinois so it would’ve been expensive as an out-of-state. I didn’t apply to my state school for personal reasons and it being too close to home.

[@aannapark]

My cousin went to Calvin which is why I applied :)

[@Marinaaa.23]

How’s the honors college at U of A? I got automatically accepted with my scholarship but idk if I wanna do it

[@aannapark]

i like the honors college a lot! there are some great opportunities we get as honors students and i love the feeling of a smaller college in a large university. it was so much easier to make friends and i enjoy my honors courses a lot. they are more personal and academic focused.

[@daphney650]

@@morganwheeler3949 why do u want to transfer

[@morganwheeler3949]

@@daphney650 the location of BU is in like the most busiest and crowded part of boston, there’s basically no privacy since you’re in the city, there’s soooo many students so you just feel like a number, a lot of racism and microagressions, the campus is HUGE so it can take 20-30 mins just to walk to another class, and our grade deflation is really bad so BU is the hardest school to get an A. But there’s obviously good things abt BU. it just depends on what kind of school you like!

Thank you, you are so sweet.
