I see the video knocked for the student being described as average. I would say high average for college bound.

Even if you don't get in, community college is an amazing option and you have a much better chance getting into colleges from there! I'm not sure where you're from, but California community colleges have plans/deals (transfer admission guaranteed programs) with six UC's, so you can easily transfer to UCSB, UCI, UCD, UCR, UCSC, and UCM (ucsb, ucd, and uci are top public schools in the nation) UCB and UCLA which are even more prestigious and recognized worldwide also have programs that make can make admission prioritized for community college students!

I don’t know why people keep blaming her that this isn’t average… an 28 act is about a 1300 SAT, which is not very outstanding or bad, it’s really just ok. Why does she have to be statistically average to satisfy you

[@gabriellamcfield5472]

right??? she was clearly using average in a more colloquial sense to mean “not amazing” … all these comments are so bitter for no reason

[@logansmith6925]

becuase she has a 3.85 gpa that is high asf bro im going to mostlikely graudate with a 3.3-3.5 that is the definition of average

[@playingbadgolfwell9732]

Not to knock the video... but it seems that most high school students don't realize that the average unweighted GPA in the U.S. ranges between a 3.0 (for all HS students) and 3.4 (for college bound HS students) on a 4.0 scale. A 3.7 GPA places you in the top 10% of students and, depending upon your SAT or ACT score, makes you competitive in the majority of the top 20 schools. And that aint "average."

[@ninyqin7086]
