How I Got Into Harvard, Stanford, UPenn, + More!

[@kagetsku1309]

This is a very unique application to me, its all incredibly insane but actually sounds attainable for a HUMAN. I’ve seen so many absolutely insane applications but yours gives me hope on getting into a good college.

[@marinakeshishian3660]

Hey girl!! First Off congrats on all your accomplishments and best of luck to you at Harvard!! I have taken note of some things you mentioned that I should have in my application when I apply. I am homeschooled so I am limited in the things I can do. I'm graduating 2 years earlier than my peers because I am really ahead of my classes so I only have a year and a half to build my application!! Columbia or Harvard are the big stars I'm reaching for and I will definitely need these tips!!

OMG THANK YOU!! go crim :)

[@connerdifilippo3581]

Hi Gowri, I'm aspiring to get into Neuroscience for USC, Stanford, UPenn, Columbia, and UCLA. My essay so far is talking about how my job at Albertsons has helped me overcome the obstacles of my Asperger's Syndrome diagnosis. I received numerous awards and recognitions (both throughout highschool and so far in college), but I don't know how to tie everything in. Also, I did Choir Tours in Spain and competed, but again I am not sure what I should put being that there is only 650 words? Do you have a recommendation to put extracurriculars or additional activities? Thank you 😃

[@aapin3348]

How’s it going?

[@zemichael4020]

How’d the college applications go? You seem accomplished, did you get in anywhere?

[@SATsolver]

I'd recommend tell about the most important things as concisely and effectively as possible

[@dasnoorkaur6749]

Hey!! Congrats on the acceptances! I was wondering, what was your final IB score /45?

[@snailygeek2692]

ooh ya same that would be great to know

[@yashnasingh1783]

Hiya Gowri! Much congrats on all your acceptances! I have a question... did you submit your AP scores? and if you did, which ones?

[@ahmedtofiq1967]

wait so did you list just 6 EC's? I'm asking because i want to submit 8 instead of 10, theyre the ones most meaningful to me but a lot of people suggest me to go for the conventional 10 ec's.

[@gowrirangu]

Yes, I just submitted those ec's. My advice is to submit the ec's that mean the most to you because that'll also have a greater impact on the admissions officer reviewing your app.

[@Passion4MedOfficial]

@@gowrirangu Hello Gowri! Congratulations on Harvards!! Did you submit all of your AP scores?

[@normalperson8484]

I thought many colleges good ones don’t always recognize IB program courses … that’s what I saw online so maybe not accurate. Thanks for sharing your common app essay v useful on style of writing and what type of question is asked.

[@my_studies2888]

could you do a video on how you studied for exams, your study tips etc.?🫶🏻

Hello, l am in the 8th grade.We have 11 classes. There are no problems with GPA.I need to take the IELTS exam now and get an 8 or higher score.l'm already speaking without an emphasis on English, but I can't just answer more complex questions right away, l'm still not fluent. And since the pronunciation of the speech is like yours, I am now at the Pre-Inter level. In addition, if I pass IELTS for 8, then I will know 4 languages.Of course, I don't have a certificate for the other 3.But I know them completely.Things are going very well with mathematics. After IELTS, I will study for the SAT. And also, this month I will already go to drawing courses with a good teacher, but l've drawn before, but it wasn't that professional.And by the way we don't have AP program but we have A-level program. So give me some advice, pls..What can I do more to increase the chances?! feel hopeless and that I won't have enoygh time to do everything.

[@d2bsyy]

Thanks gurll

[@hemantattray]

How do you convert IB grades to GPA? Is there a formula?

[@onlyangel4414]

For me IB grades are weighted the same as AP classes

[@victorwang8470]

Hello Gowri. My name is Victor. Could you tell me how to start a nonprofit organization? I would like to know. Thanks.

@@kstar6750 what does that mean

[@khannie04]

@@oooceanman it means that you should have a good reason not to do extracurriculars or else colleges will see it as you being lazy/not wanting to do anything regarding your passions/values/etc.
