I love hearing other Christians share their testimonies, amazing video! A video on your faith throughout your college admissions process and advice on faith would be great!

[@stevenmessiah6416]

[@nelsatiemtore6356]

Thank you so much for this video! It's very encouraging, and I agree di clubs you actually care about. I am entering my junior year of high school in the fall and my unweighted is around yours. It's a 3.91 and I also want to be a doctor

[@sarakazemi9181]

Thank you so much for this! ❤️ you showed that with a little bit of hard work I can make my dreams into reality!

[@laurenbrownlee3211]

this is my dream !!! Watching your video helped me to get excited about applying & I hope so much that I get in❤️❤️

[@joanne.gabriel]

good luck girl!!! 💕

[@sweetcrystal5307]

this was so helpful! thank you so so so so much beautiful ❤️🥺

[@WillZipf]

How did you get the connections with the doctors to shadow them?

[@ashgab]

Hi! Thank you for this great video💓. I want to apply to duke as well for masters but I have a gpa of 3.3 and 1.5 years work experience. Is it a good profile I am really confused

[@stevenmessiah6416]

This is why you got into Duke: God’s divine Providence. Even though you claim your application was very simple and u didn’t do that much extracurriculars, I believe duke accepted u because of FCA and your Christian leadership services. I am doing the exact extracurriculars u r doing now with the addition of cross country. Duke is a great Christian school, which is something very important in college. If I had the choice between Harvard and Duke, I would pick Duke. All the other Ivy’s are very secular and have departed from their religious origins. God let you in Duke because he knows that Duke is practically the only Ivy League school that still remains faithful to God. Thanks for your advice!

[@eb4676]

Duke is not an Ivy League school.

[@miyuki2878]

Choosing duke over harvard is CRAZY

[@mariaoloo5583]

Am an international student ....😢😢hoping to be there soon

[@makaylaschmidt51]

I also got a 31 on my ACT and was worried it wasn’t going to be good enough. I got a 1420 on my sat which I know is good but I feel like is not gonna be enough. I’m worried about deciding whether or not to submit scores because I don’t want it to end up hurting my chances. Do you have any advice with the hindsight of having already gone through the college app process?

[@joanne.gabriel]

if your high school grades and gpa are strong submitting your scores will only help! I highly recommend sending your ACT and SAT scores if your high school gpa is low :)

[@daniel0381]

u should submit your act instead of sat

[@aiii8169]

you are so freaking pretty!!!

[@joanne.gabriel]

omg thank you 🥺❤️

[@nathanielagyemanduahbiney7252]

Hi Joanne. To be honest watching your video has literally made me wanna apply to Duke so bad. I wish I could get to talk to you more about it 🥺

[@joanne.gabriel]

you can reach out to me through my DMs on Instagram! :)

[@kamsieobilo221]

Hey Joanne! This video was so good. I am a fellow black Christian as well and Duke is my dream school. I was wondering if I could possibly DM and ask you about the environment at Duke and everything.

[@joanne.gabriel]

[@abbyrodgers8875]

Do you have any recommendations on how to find job shadowing opportunities?

[@joanne.gabriel]

Ask some of your personal doctors if they are willing to or reach out to people you know in the medical field :)

[@abbyrodgers8875]

Jan & Jo Thank you!

[@SamanthaEK-cp1lh]

[@tomiajidahun9200]

[@joanne.gabriel]

[@averyfincher1744]

[@darellowens546]

[@Grace-yu8qk]

Was your sat score lower than a 1400?

[@pelahale]

an ACT of 31 scales to 1430 so, pretty good.
