Stanford (1st)or MIT (2nd)- My rationale- seen all campuses and the opportunity they give, and the major you are choosing. My son went went to Stanford and my cousin's daughter to Harvard. MIT would be really nice and challenging but let me tell you, you will love Stanford. Just the ambience, year round weather. As a you tuber it will be a boon for you.

I find it so inspiring how you were so confident in your accomplishments. It is clear that you worked so hard and aimed so high, so you deserve every acceptance. Your reactions were also (no offense) not that emotional WHICH ISN'T A BAD THING because it demonstrates that you know your capabilities and dexterity very well. This is what I hope will happen (though it's super far-fetched) or something close to this. Your work always pays off, and this video is such as inspiration to me.

What I find especially interesting about this reaction video is that you've applied to a select few schools compared to others I see online (who apply to 15-20 schools), which shows that you're focused and confident at what you'll achieve. With regard to which schools to pick, I think a lot of it comes down to the research opportunities you will get, since that is a factor in grad school admissions and is something you're passionate in.

[@RishabJainK]

[@Koshermail]

People who get into amazing schools REA are able to do this. Those who don’t tend to apply to 15-20 schools. Knowing he has Harvard as a “backup” puts him in an incredibly good spot for RD colleges so that he can choose to apply for either no colleges because he’s going to Harvard or a select few even if they’re the top colleges in the world. If he didn’t have Harvard, he most likely would have applied to a ton more especially safety schools

[@NavigatoTravels]

Yes

[@orionwang7675]

man already knew he was in. He got into RSI and Regenron, two of the most unbelievably competitive research programs for highschoolers (they have an acceptance rate lower than any ivy and their applicant pool is usually way more competitive)

[@orionwang7675]

also this is just for perspective on how he got into harvard, mit, etc. He's not just the top 1% of students in the US; he's probably top 1% of mit and harvard and ivies combined. You have to be unfathomably gifted to get the accolades he has. Props to you, Rishab.

[@AyeeeItsCam]

I have friends that went to/graduated from every school you applied to. All academic power houses. VERY different campus culture/student social atmospheres. Stanford and Duke offer the quintessential traditional college experience (D1 sports, greek life, very active social scene/campus culture), while still maintaining elite academic status. BU is a mix of independent urban campus (parts of campus blend into the city) meets traditional college experience (social scene is more state school vibes especially having Allston right there and the amount of other colleges close by) - which is kind of unheard of at big urban schools where the social scene tends to revolve around being in the city. Harvard and MIT are very unique/distinct college experiences. Especially with Harvard's house system AND being in Boston.

[@space_monkey3188]

I think you should choose MIT or Stanford. Harvard has changed - and I don’t mean in a good way. I read a little about you on the internet and it seems like you would thrive in an intellectual environment. MIT does a lot of collaborations and teamwork where you can change the world and tackle the hardest problems in a team with other brilliant students. I would personally go to MIT.

Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with any of these 5 schools, Which ever school you choose I am sure you will do very well. Obviously I don't know you, but for you to get accepted into these 5 Universities, you clearly had to have worked very hard in High School to be in your situation. I am sure you will make the best choice for yourself and best wishes. It's amaing to get accepted to one of the 5 schools you applied to, but to get accepted to all 5 WOW. Good Luck!

[@keithmarlin1873]

I think you should go to Harvard because of the grade inflation, not that you can’t handle the coursework but so you can spend more time on things you’re more passionate about rather than studying all the time. Also, because it’s Harvard.

[@RishabJainK]

Thanks for this advice!

[@judytran3514]

When making the decision, look at possible faculty mentors in your fields of interest, flexibility to change major if you get inspired to go in a different direction, school work/play balance, and networks you will be developing for your career. Ultimately, any of those schools are wonderful!

Honestly, I surmise that you possess the capacity to flourish at MIT. However, if economizing is a priority, Boston University may serve as a viable alternative (since you got that scholarship), given its array of distinguished programs.

Congrats on getting into Harvard, and the other schools. I must admit though, it must be depressing for those high school students that don't have your high GPA, and SAT. I've been watching allot of these videos, and everyone is very smart, and getting scholarships. I'm curious if getting a degree from Harvard or Yale, helps get you a better chance of a good job. My Dad had his BS and MA from Columbia, he also had a degree from Oxford. I got into NYU from a graduate degree, and for my BA I got allot of grants, so only had to pay for first and last semester. I think too it depends on your major. I was an Art and Secondary Education major. Science and Math were not my best subjects, if they were I might have studied to be a Doctor. My Dad was an Analytical Chemist/Bacteriologist doing research in TB and Cancer. I'm happy though for all you guys getting into such prestigious colleges.

[@bloblobberr]

It definitely makes a difference on not just if you get a certain job, but how much you are able to climb up the in the company(ies) you're in. That being said, unless you go to a basically unknown college, it's still not extremely difficult to get the job that you would want going to a college like UT or smth like that. It's more for the social flex that you went to a better college than all your co-workers basically, gives you leverage and makes people back off.
