IVY League Profile vs Average Profile | What gets you into an Ivy League School?

[@handaashish12345]

Watching this video honestly gives me a lot more confidence than I had while starting it. I kept comparing my profile to the ones described in the video and as I felt it leaning more and more towards the elitist profile I found myself feeling more and more relieved. This was a great video for reassurance to stick through this journey and was much needed during the boards pressure. Thank you so much ma'am you're always the best!!!

[@CrazyMedusa]

Glad I could get the point across! It's not the profile and numbers that makes your profile elite, it's you as a student and how you choose to present it 💪🏼

This video was really well made and it released so much of my self-doubt and boosted my confidence. I would constantly compare my profile with others and come up with the conclusion that it is not enough, but this video gave out the needed clarity over great essays for simple things. Thank you so much, ma'am, you are literally a life saviour and all the best to the crazy medusa channel!

As a rising senior this video has been extremely helpful at both calming some nerves, and giving really good advice on how to market myself in the admissions process!

I am from USA, but I originally moved from Bangladesh during my middle school. Honestly, I was not expecting that I would know this much information in such a short video! Very well said and I am also feeling very good after you said how professors also want to know what pushed me into certain competitions rather than just what you got at the end. Have a great one!

I really really wish that you posted this video a year earlier. It would’ve been so helpful. I got rejected by 3 Ivies and waitlisted by 2 and no acceptance. And a lot of other colleges I applied waitlisted me. After watching you, it just hit me like some part of my resume is average profile and while another part is elite profile.

[@zhasmintuiachieva419]

can you make a vidoe abt how should the common app application look for someone who is applying after a gap year? Discuss the parts where gap year students should focus on more, tell what is different in their application from the "non-gap year" applicants and tell the way the admission comittee assesses such kind of applications etc. I think that this is a demanding topic with a lot of unanswered questions. I rarely see common app guides for the "gap year students", despite the fact that almost 30%+ of high school graduates take a gap year

[@dysntgr8]

Thank you for such an informative video. I'm going to high school this year and I'm so grateful for this video because it taught me what i should focus on. glad to have found this early on so that I know to further develop my skills in the passion project i'm invested in, rather than focusing solely on acads and test scores.
