How I Got Into Stanford, Princeton, Yale, and... SURPRISE!?!

Hi! By popular demand, here are a few of my stats, extracurricular activities, and advice!
*Edit: I realized I forgot to talk about my GPA. My school doesn't have weighted GPAs so 9-11th grade I had a 4.0, and then by the end of 1st semester senior year my cumulative GPA was a 3.98 since I got one B in the first semester of my senior year.*
Also, one major extracurricular that is not included was swimming. I was captain of my high school team and I swam for a club team for over a decade!

A girl who is good at math, physics and art and can be a leader and can swim. DAMN. AN ICON

[@foodstatistics3117]

Still rejected by harvard We normal people should die?

[@tchit8792]

Full-tuition scholarship to study at MIT...... that's like the most amazing thing.

[@akshatvats7992]

Actually MIT guarantees need-based aid

[@michaeljin5460]

10 years from now we're gonna see this girl in the news for discovering life on another planet or some other revolutionary discovery and we can all say we knew her first.

[@sydneyz4758]

i think i fractured my jaw when i heard "nineteen aps"

[@blobfish1829]

Sydney Z same.. there are other students on yt that did more than that too 😭

[@God-jx5og]

I thought my thirteen AP’s was a lot 😭😭😭

[@awesomeinblossom2322]

right? what the heck my school doesnt even offer 19 total aps LMAOO

[@lalabest1aj]

I’ve done 2 so far 💀 but my school doesn’t offer as many as other schools probably because it’s a hard school

[@boi4146]

@@awesomeinblossom2322 well if youre in ny state (like me), you will most likely not get alot aps offered in your school because stupid new york wants us to follow a stupid curriculm

[@diogomuzzi4015]

u know there is 24 hours in a day, right? how did u even manage all of this?

[@user63755]

me: no ones perfect lol *sees this video* me: never mind

[@SunriseFireberry]

Princeton's loss is MIT's gain. Eva the swimming artsie astrophysicist is a treasure of planet Earth. You are amazing.

[@marquisdehoto1638]

I think her day has more than 24 h 🤔

[@carlaanastas4161]

Lmao

[@sewelljordan4858]

22 aps & didn’t get into Harvard. That just degraded my confidence.

[@nartrof90]

I believe when you have more than 10 APs, good SAT, good extracurricular activities, good essays, then you got a lottery ticket for Harvard and U. of Chicago. They are so unpredictable.

[@kingarth0r]

@@nartrof90 yeah it's legit a wild card for all these top schools and that's why it's not uncommon for people to apply to all of them so that they have more lottery tickets. I'm probably going to have a STACKED transcript by the end of high school and I still don't think I'll get into some of those schools. This just goes to show how fricking competitive and random they are.

[@automaticsweetheart2009]

And on top of ALL THAT, you were able to talk about yourself and your accomplishments in such a way that it is very evident that you aren't arrogant, entitled, unprincipled, or overly self-absorbed. What a special young lady you are! DON'T EVER CHANGE!

[@Oniki382]

I feel so inspired yet discouraged at the same time lmao

[@zislow8016]

My school doesn't even offer half the ap classes lol

[@carlaanastas4161]

My school doesn't even offer a cafeteria 🙃

[@pidayrocks2235]

That can be to your benefit, though. My school didn't offer many APs so I only ended up taking 4... still got into MIT. If I had went to a more rigorous school, I might not have gotten in because I doubt I would have had the time to devote to the extracurricular activities that I pursued.... and I'm not a fan of learning through lectures; I much prefer hands on learning. Ultimately, make the best out of your situation.

[@nellieeess]

zislow my school only offers 5 ap classes 😩

[@starrpowerr1]

Yes to the ap reaction and art portfolio videos!! Congrats on MIT!

[@daemic1868]

So like when do you sleep?

[@bobjones7984]

I guess never...

[@carlaanastas4161]

LOL fr though…

[@sarahmoline3818]

You’re so smart!! I would love to watch an ap reaction! I hope everyone else who took ap tests this year did well!

[@annikaj7336]

Could you do a video on time management?

[@taymor8537]

Congratulations on all of your accomplishments!!! I would love to see how you combined art and science in your portfolio and an AP score reaction.

[@gracestallman2379]

This perfectly encapsulates kids in 2019! Congrats Eva! Wishing you the best.

[@jonathancheng3976]

Out of all the College KZbinrs, you are definitely the most talented looking from all aspects. Congrats on MIT!

[@heyyaziz]

I am envious of you, not because of all the achievements you got (well, that a little bit), but the most is because of your passion. I’ve been struggling to find my passion all this while but I’m not giving up. One day I’ll find it and I will keep on giving my best on everything. And for you, I wish nothing but the best! Don’t lose yourself in college. Keep on rocking!

[@guppy8073]

Wow, you’re insanely talented and hard-working. Thank you for inspiring me to work harder.

[@omotunde1982]

Such a queen !! Congratulations on mit ! Love to see more of you there

[@starforever8362]

You inspire me so much. I love combining my love for genomes and stem cell research with my love for art. I can’t wait to see what you do in the future

[@rijulranjan8514]

That is a RIDICULOUS courseload...WOW! I’ve never heard of anybody taking Calc AB in sophomore year lol. Congrats on all the acceptances, you MORE than deserve it! 😄😄

[@jakart4615]

What exactly does Harvard want if they rejected *you*...?

[@victoriaissa6305]

Honestly though🤷‍♀️

[@marllymbungu1721]

That means that the other people they admitted, are even harder working (crying emoji), and that's impossible to imagine!!!! I don't think I've seen someone so dedicated like her. She's PERFECT!!!!!!

[@cts886]

Who knows!? One thing I can think of is that sometimes extraordinary candidates, such as Eva, are also at risk of marring cross-admit rates among highly prestigious schools. Harvard admissions probably took into account her dedication for Physics, a dedication seemingly paramount against her other activities. And of course, Harvard's specialty is rooted in a superb liberal arts program. She might just be to quantitative for them and hell that's a good thing - she's wicked smart!

[@sunjanadas8795]

Marlly Mbungu she is incredible! But what colleges look for is so mysterious and honestly we will never know what they really look for. The people who have gotten into Harvard are not all smarter or more qualified than her.

[@nicxi8629]

@@marllymbungu1721 It doesn't necessarily mean they worked harder it means that the people who applied had more desirable features that they needed for example if harvard needed a opera singer they would accept that student instead of her. And a lot of the times colleges turn down kids if they see that they have been accepted by other ivies

[@celestehagee6956]

I’m shook right now. My school doesn’t even offer that many AP classes. Congrats!!! You deserve it!

[@EnergeticBhaji]

Seriously i thought I was an impressive candidate (1500 SAT, Straight A's, decent ECs) and then I see this and my ego is crushed

[@priyalgarg4060]

I'm really interested in creating a portfolio for my singing as a college supplement. I'd love to hear more about your art portfolio! :) Congrats on getting into caltech. It's my dream school 😊

[@claughlin]

Congratulations. MIT is an amazing place to study, and we're very fortunate to have someone here as hardworking and passionate as you are. Do make sure to come take some classes over at the Sloan School of Management, and take StartMIT during IAP. MIT is amazing for entrepreneurship.

[@redmartianclouds1006]

Thank you for sharing your tips with us! I’m going to study physics in september, at University, want to be an astrophysics too!

[@almudena5444]

Hi Eva!! Congrats on MIT and on the rest of your admissions!! By the way, those who rejected you made a huge mistake, they are the ones who are missing out! I was wondering, where did you get the 9th SAT practice test from? On the College Board’s website there are only 8 tests available 😔

[@electoralhq1849]

If you go on reddit, you can take the tests that have been released as QAS

[@cadenceodonnell8191]

Thank you for this video from Spain. You are soo pretty. Also congratulation, MIT is a dream of thousands students.

[@tchit8792]

How in the world do you take 10 AP exams over two weeks. I took 7 junior year, but I was really done after that lol, and they were definately not as difficult as physics, etc.

[@sunshinegirlypop]

I have two main passions; however, I want to double major in Biomedical engineering (which isn’t aligned to my passions of French and English.) my brand is “ an individual who seeks connections with others through the intricacies of language.” Does this prove as problematic on college applications?

Omg you're perfect!

[@shakhnozas4379]

u are abosuletly amazing and so super smart!

[@joana_carranco]

Hey, Eva! I really hope you can read this. So, first of all, WTF, you should have gotten into Harvard! Omg, are those guys crazy or what? YOU ARE AMAZING. It's December 12th as I'm writing this and I am sorry if my English has some not so right stuff, but I am from Portugal, Europe. I am in Sophomore year of High School. Here in Portugal we are able to choose a specific curriculum area to study, almost like in College except that it covers more diversity of studies. I'm in Languages & Humanities course, which means I have Portuguese/English/History/Geography/German/P.E./Philosophy. I hear you and thank you so much for the great advice (I really admire you, btw! I trully do. I am an excellent student, but you... GIRL) anyway, thank you so much. I know what I'm passionate about, I know what I want to do for the rest of my life, I know what I love and I'm good at above all. - Criminal Psichology! Forensic Science! Psichology in general! I really really love those things, my problem is: there are no resources and options for me to go deeper on those areas, on studying them, on bringing my knowledge and investment on them to the next level, as you said. We only have that opportunity in College, there are not any kind of activities, extracurriculars, contests, summer programs on that kind of stuff and that really makes me feel down and bad, it takes my motivation away, because I know that that's what Ivy League colleges are looking for, specially Harvard (my choice n.1) and I don't know what to do... Anyway, I don't really know if you have any kind of personal advice for me abt this, I hope you do because, as I said, I really look up to you and I think you're great. Thank you.

[@ishakdabsha1088]

Could you make a video about how you were able to display your art in museum or how you got that opportunity?

[@aliciabenshki5586]

I feel like your school also gives you lots of opportunities...cuz my school doesn't

[@lou-xr5rz]

same i'm feeling depressed as fuck my school doesn't do shit, no resources, thought i was doing alright but now my application seems so fucking lame

[@nartrof90]

Eva, you got admissions before OR after the results of the AP tests you took in grade 12? My school provides only 10 AP classes. The possible max AP to take is about 8 because of prerequisites and time conflict. To strengthen the application, I have two alternatives: take college classes at U of Washington or take AP tests without class. Which one helps more? Thanks,

[@doremifasolaleska]

Every time I watch videos like these I’m slowly starting to see how much of a failure I am 😂

[@getnasty08]

You remind me of a young Bette Midler. I suspect you'll be just as successful as her too! Good luck on your education journey!

[@lucysun6461]

Please make a video about your application essays!!
