I APPLIED TO 22 COLLEGES!! | 2019 College Decision Reactions (Harvard, Stanford, Vanderbilt +more)

[@00Kristyna00]

Sorry, had to pause the video to just say: it is more difficult to get into schools because our generation is much more educated than previous ones, going to college is the norm for most kids and applying to certain schools has become mainstream. That's why colleges receive up to 100k+ applications and have such low acceptance rates. Also, international students (wich in most schools are 10%) are needed to mantain the image of America as the best Accademic country in the world, wich result in the US keeping their desireability and power internationally. And often they chose people who want to use the skills they learned back in their country, making it better and helping development (keep in mind that the US slowed development is many countries, by "exporting" democracy). So actually, having international students is one thing you all should be proud of, instead of making it seem like "international students are taking our spots". Sorry, i'm not mad at you, just thought i shoud point this out.

[@EmmaBishoff]

00Kristyna00 no I totally agree!! I’m honestly a little ignorant to the topic because I’ve only lived in California for two years but thanks for telling me all this!! There are a lot of factors that come into play :)

[@Deedster007]

So true! Most schools have such a small percent of international students. It’s really misinformed to say they are taking up spots.

[@EmmaBishoff]

Deedster007 if you look at the data (which I did after receiving the first comment) approximately 15-25% of students at UCSD, UCLA, OSU, UC Davis, USC, UCI, Purdue, Boston, UW and Berkeley are all international students. Here’s the link to the 2017-2018 data www.iie.org/Research-and-Insights/Open-Doors/Data/International-Students/Leading-Host-Institutions

[@indyat.8450]

Which*

[@rigiggarcia8237]

I would strongly recommend UC Davis if you’re hoping to go down the medical route. UCD is a great school with amazing academics and will definitely prepare you for med school. It would be nice if you were accepted off the waitlist for UCSD as well, but UCD is a great school!

[@katrinagonzales1820]

Lol I don’t usually comment but I was honestly in the same boat as you last year. I was choosing between UW and UCD for neurobiology (pre-med/pre-health) and eventually I chose Davis! We all make fun of it because it’s cowtown but I do have a lot of fun here and really found my community. Davis wasn’t my first choice at all, yet I’m so glad I chose it. It’s very science based here (and not just agriculture like we have a whole college dedicated to biological sciences) but everyone is super nice and hardworking. For me, I chose Davis over UW because I didn’t want to wait 2 years before even making sure I can technically really be a neurobiology major and Davis was already cheaper bc I’m a CA resident. Hope this helps and good luck with whichever college you go to!

[@LoyaFrostwind]

UC Davis is a good school, and fairly competitive. My friend chose Davis over Berkeley.

[@kallistasarah2359]

you seem like such a nice person, congrats on your acceptances!!

[@EmmaBishoff]

Kallista Sarah thanks so much!!

[@kristymishler3652]

Great job, Emma! You should be very proud! No matter what happens, you will be successful!

[@EmmaBishoff]

Kristy Mishler thank you so much!! You inspired me to become a woman in STEM!! :)

[@steph.delapaz]

congrats on getting accepted at uw :) I got accepted and it was my reach/dream school!!

[@EmmaBishoff]

Stephanie D. That’s awesome congrats!! Where are you from?

[@steph.delapaz]

Emma Bishoff Thank you! I’m from Washington. I’ll be staying in state and tuition will be more affordable so that’s also good 😅

[@EmmaBishoff]

Stephanie D. That’s so fun!! Yeah I’m struggling to afford the out of state tuition though.

[@Tamar-sz8ox]

Congrats ! Good on ya . You will be successful wherever you go . It’s all about the effort and your attitude ! ( and your major you declare , internships etc )

[@EmmaBishoff]

Tamara Bossler thank you!!

[@threeseasons431]

I was once told a degree is a degree no matter what. It doesn’t matter where you got it from but it shows that you put hard work into that degree and it’s what you do with that degree that matters. For example my dad went to a State college in his home state and makes more money then some of his friends/acquaintances that went to Ivy League schools or schools really hard to get into. Some of those people he works with 🤷🏻‍♀️ so it’s up to you to decide what to do with that degree. Congrats on your college admissions! This is my first video of yours and I really love your personality! You just got a new subscriber!

[@EmmaBishoff]

Three Seasons thanks so much!! I really appreciate the support :)

[@raeganpatterson]

1000 subscribers!!!! Great work getting into those schools can’t wait to see which you chose :))

[@EmmaBishoff]

Raegan Patterson thanks!! I appreciate the support :)

[@MetFansince]

Maybe University of Oregon? That would be my guess looking at your accepted list. Wherever you go, my advice is to stay away from alcohol.

[@connoranderson9716]

Randomly came across this vid but I’m a University of Washington student and know people at Davis as well and both schools are great but competitive as an undergrad. UW will challenge you but nothing that someone who is accepted can’t handle. Doesn’t rain in North Seattle as much as it’s advertised and I’m a South Seattle native (where it seems to rain more). Both schools are great and if you are into Greek life, UW is the way to go. Both schools offer great resources but prestige wise, UW is a little more prestigious because of medical and research, but Davis’ weather is for sure better and that can attribute to a more upbeat experience. Good luck with the decisions!

[@EmmaBishoff]

Connor Anderson thanks so much!! This helps a ton!

[@junr9430]

I applied to 10 schools in total and got into 6. I was bummed out after I was rejected by UCSB and UCLA. I’m deciding between UCI and Cal Poly SLO. I have so many benefits if I got to either school so I don’t know where.

[@EmmaBishoff]

Junr yeah that’s a tough one...I would say SLO just because there campus is so pretty and there’s a lot to do but Irvine is awesome too I’ve heard

[@LuvThyMind29]

Depends largely on your major, but UCI is so nice!!

[@emilyarana6112]

Aww congrats though! I really like uci and I'm going to be a senior starting the application process soon! I was wondering what your overall weighted gpa was when you applied as well as your sat or act score?

[@anthonylotruglio8195]

you’re so sweet! congrats on your acceptances!

[@EmmaBishoff]

anthony lotruglio thank you so much!! I appreciate the support :)

[@ellemotekaitis]

UCD!!! its so pretty in Davis and has such good academics! 10/10 recommend to go to UCD

[@EmmaBishoff]

Elle Motekaitis thanks for the input!! Are you a student there?

[@LuvThyMind29]

I walked around UCD campus yesterday and didn't like it...The buildings were all outdated (w/ the exception of the welcome center area). Classrooms were depressing (some were windowless, fluorescent lighting, chalkboards, old hard desks). There weren't as many food places around the campus as I have seen at other schools. It was a large campus however and pretty quiet and laid-back. Students do seem to like it.

[@EmmaBishoff]

LuvCali28 thanks for the heads up!

[@gweckesser826]

Why did you apply to 22- LMAO NEVER IN MY WILDEST DREAMS

[@impqsta7744]

U have to pay for applications?!?!?

[@marksoldiers230]

My son went to Montana Tech in Butte Montana and got a petroleum engineering degree and he makes double, even triple the money people make who graduated from the so called high sididy universities. And Montana Tech is inexpensive..

[@Tamar-sz8ox]

Mark Soldiers : that’s great your son is doing well . I hear you . For example if you want to be a physical therapist it does not matter if you go to a state college vs fancy private school . A licensed PT can get a job anywhere . I am a licensed speech language pathologist / went to state schools in Pennsylvania for undergrad and grad school . I can get the same job and salary as a private college $$$ graduate ( minus the massive loans ) . A license is a license . Other degrees like business / Harvard vs state school - now that can make a difference

[@EmmaBishoff]

Josh Ansel what is your deciding factor? Thanks for the input!!

[@jc0lin]

Emma Bishoff i live in Sacramento (40 mins from Davis) so the closeness is definitely a factor. And I applied for Food Science and Davis is one of the best programs in the country. And I really like the city of Davis too :)

[@EmmaBishoff]

[@krhazymonkey]

Go to UC Davis and get into their vet school

[@EmmaBishoff]

krhazymonkey that’s not really my interest but thanks!

[@krhazymonkey]

What is your interest?

[@EmmaBishoff]

krhazymonkey pre med/biomedical engineering

[@krhazymonkey]

Emma Bishoff If I may make a recommendation. Finances are a big part of school so go wherever you’ll get the best education for the lowest cost. And pre-med and bioengineering are completely different so do you want a job out of school that pays well (engineering) or to do more schooling with a decent salary out of school if you don’t go to med school right away (pre-med). But ideas change day to day just make sure you find out everything you can about your decision, work hard at it, and stick with it. Also, check the job market. There may always be a want for doctors but bioengineering seems like a more difficult to find job opportunity. Good luck!

[@naomirose1169]

Sorry, this is the first video of yours I’ve seen so I don’t know where you’re from. When I applied to college four years ago, I wasn’t really thinking about cost, just the prestige of the school. But I’m in California and I’m so glad I chose a UC because in-state tuition is literally half the price. Even if you can afford the more expensive one you might as well save the money, I now realize that it’s so unnecessary to spend twice the price to get the same degree. Especially if you’re torn between the two, I would say stay in state if that’s an option.

[@EmmaBishoff]

Naomi Rose thank you for your input it helps a ton!!

[@isabellaghio8966]

[@pipeawodiya3642]

lildred Early Decision is binding ( you would have to go there ). Early Action is Non-binding ( you’d just get your decision before the people who apply for regular decision

[@peanutswag11]

It’s getting harder because of people like you who apply to 22 schools!!! The more applicants they get the harder it is to get in obviously. I only applied to 5 schools that I could see myself going to.

[@EmmaBishoff]

therealimpossible I’m glad that five schools worked for you but this is what worked for me! I actually cut the list down a lot so in the end I was upset I didn’t apply to more because I had no idea where I wanted to go. Also it wasn’t just on a whim because I had competitive scores and I had a good chance at getting into 90% of the schools I applied to.
