[@hongjucho7283]

your videos are so informing and inspiring as well! as a rising senior who is in the verge of dying from drafting multiple college essays, i would love to hear a sample one from you :D

[@mahamzahid8024]

yesss pleaseee!!

[@davidxu2995]

how'd you do in the admissions cycle

[@eheaertz_e]

[@bhavyahshree]

Congratulations Millie!!! I'm a new viewer, but I'm so happy that you got into all of your top choice schools, and I wish you the best of luck in college! I know you'll do great :)

[@annagrace51]

You are such a positive source of light and kindness on the internet.

[@barina852]

this girl is literally insane 🥲

[@Love-yuqi666]

Someone is even crazier than her check her out pearychot

[@Siva_S]

Wow. What a well made presentation .. it just flows like a clear stream carrying the nuggets ! Just this video is proof why you got thise admissions ! Clear, arriculate, willing to help others, honest, amiable , and ofcourse well-rounded😊 👏🏼👏🏼

[@isabelrzy6405]

you're so well spoken, thank you for the information! please make a video about your essays!!

[@celaine_]

I have watched these videos, taken notes, and been learning this process since I was little, but now that I am a rising senior, your video came out at a perfect time! This was the most all-encompassing and informative college video I have ever watched!

[@andyye1515]

Yes

[@brooke-sterling]

I’m so scared for applying for universities 😢 I’m in a town of like 2,500 people… and there are like no activities I can do… idk what to do. We don’t even have a hospital 😅

[@SomethingFunnyforyou]

Exactly!!! There's literally nothing I can do to get my ec's up! We don't even have any charity events or organisations, our school doesn't even have any clubs!! 😭😭

[@Varsha.2008]

Why don't you start a club? 😊​@@SomethingFunnyforyou

[@aayeshakhan3383]

Same guys samee 🤝

[@study_life277]

Cant y'all like, do it online cuz that's what students did during the pandemic. AND you can explain you situation in the essays. Colleges judge on the basis of how you utilised the EXSISTING resources. like, how you make the best out of what you have available. Plus, internet is a wide space.

[@brooke-sterling]

@@study_life277 the thing is, I came from an abusive home (I left btw) but we didn’t have access to the internet. So this is the first year I was able to even touch a phone and I’m still learning how to work stuff.. by online, what should I do? For college stuff

[@annieoncrack]

this def reassured me about how i was planning my common app so thank you for that! and YES I WOULD LOVE TO READ YOUR ESSAYS

[@evakhaova]

Thank you, Millie, for your very important for us video and for sharing your experience with us! We are so glad for you being accepted to Yale! You are a great person, keep going! And I would like to ask you to make a video about your ‘personal statement’ essay as it will help us to figure out what can we write to be accepted to colleges of our choice!^^ You spread positive energy and motivate us! Thank you very much!!!

[@the_real_andresjorgeortiz]

Hello Millie! Congratulations on your academics and extracurriculars! You did a great job with your studies. Including the video because it has great content! I find it the video very helpful! Again, great job with your content and your video. Very happy for you! Good luck with your dream college. God bless you and your family. 🙏❤️

[@iamtreta]

thanks, a lot for the valuable tips! helped me understand so much about college applications. keep doing great work! Also, love the enthusiasm on your face while telling everything.

[@mariajoqwe]

13:23 i would love to read or even to hear your essays!! you are such a hardworking person, i really want to learn from you the tips that were used in your writing and applying to universities time!!

[@ButterWaffles11]

Hey Millie, I'm just heading closer and closer to the college apps and I would love to hear some great tips on college essays. As you mentioned it's one of the most important criteria in a college app and would lure admission officers to choose you. Please share some essay ideas, as well as great tips! 💖💖💖💖

[@emmavinton2561]

Hi Millie your video is one of the most informative that I've seen! Thank you and congratulations on your acceptances. You have worked so hard and deserve to go to a dream uni. X Emma

[@craftingwithriya.]

This is such an informative video. It rlly helps so many students out there, like me, who are ambitious of going to an ivy league school! Wishing you all the best :))

[@salylastname9272]

im offically obsessed

[@Gaby-sn7eq]

Thx for this video, Millie. I’m really proud of you, congratulations🎉🎉

[@costeamara3966]

this is probably the most informative video I have every watched on college apps :)

[@viviannepulido9623]

Hey I love this video! Very inspiring and you’re very wise beyond your years. 🙏🏼

[@beatrizbandeira2088]

YESSS!!!! I would love to read your essays!

[@yifeihsiao]

I’m currently a senior n i find your videos so inspiring! I would love to hear your essay as well!!

[@sparklight0964]

I feel like common app wasn’t as talked about back when I was in high school. I’ll be graduating university this year public universities are still great options. If you weren’t involved in lots of extra circulars or did much community service. You can still get into public universities if you don’t get accepted to big schools/want other options

[@alexad4836]

please do a video of reading your essays!

[@lianevoelker9845]

Do these high achieving high-school students ever sleep? I really don't understand how someone can fit that much into their week.

[@eemaaknee]

as someone who is applying for colleges this fall.. THANK YOU! i'd love if you'd read ur essay as well :)

[@lalalacat777]

Hello Millie! I am an international student studying in China (I'm Korean but I've studied in international school in China for two and a half years haha) Your videos are so helpful for me, a junior in high school who is almost obssessed with Yale 😂 But I'm worrying that my APs and ec are not really enough (actually too less) I got two 5 so far and planning to take 4 more APs in 11th grade and 3 more in 12th grade. I'm interested in English speech and organizing activities (I only got few things to show though) I know every person has different path and characteristic, but I am still worried about them. Besides, keeping balance between ec and study is difficult too :( I only got half year to do something and recently I started to doubt myself whether I can really get into Ivy or not...(I watched all the ec you did in high school and those are awsome!! It's unbelieveable that you did all of them while having a good grade!!) Should I prioritize Ap and sat more for the rest of the time? Do you think it is possbile to have few ec and get into Ivy..? It will be great to have your response and I hope I'm not taking up your time! Oh btw happy new year✨️

[@sparklight0964]

Even if you don’t get into Yale or other ivy leagues that’s okay their are spots guaranteed for children of alumni which takes away spots from hardworking students. Ivy League is overrated and way too expensive for some any university would be happy to have a hard working student

[@augustusb3501]

Wow -You don't really need to go to college, you already know how to start businesses, you are organized, driven, and I think you will be very successful!

[@methulimalimage1929]

yes I need an essay vlog plsss

[@feyetho9524]

Don't even know why I watch these videos as an Aussie. All I had to do is apply (as in, click a button) with my top 5 universities and potential degrees I'd want to do (I could change this one I got in) and would be given offers a few months later in order of my preferences. You normally don't need any extra curricular activities, leadership positions or essays to apply, it is just based on how well you did academically (in most parts of Australia this is called an ATAR). You're basically guaranteed a spot if your ATAR is above their entrance requirements (very achievable for most degrees), with slight variations between universities based on demand (usually for universities in big cities, not because of prestige). We even have a thing called "school's recommendation" which is just a letter from your school saying you got a C average and can get you into most universities (still quality school) for degrees like teaching, arts, or humanities, allowing people who aren't as academically gifted to go to uni. I am so lucky that I get to attend a top university (currently #34 world wide) without the stress of college applications and fees that could put me into debt. Either way, I think the US college application system encourages a lot of people to branch out of their comfort zones and push themselves to their full potential and am very impressed by Millie that she was able to get into so many great schools. Good luck!

[@charmipappitson2028]

thank you sooo much, you are so inspiring person!!!

[@Igor.Antonio]

Thank you so much, Millie, for this wonderful video. Your video helped a lot to consolidate everything necessary to make an application, it will help me a lot. (I study in Brazil, I can say that the system to be accepted in an American university is very different from a Brazilian one)

[@scottjackson163]

I applied to two universities for graduate school: Stanford and Brown. I got both of them and graduated from Stanford. I guess you could say that I was backup school averse.

[@Khai11507]

yeessss.....would love to see the essays

[@SomethingFunnyforyou]

Ok! So I really *really* wanna get my extra curriculars up, because I always spend waaayyyy to much time focusing on my grades and gpa, but watching this I feel really low on my ec's 😭😭 So if anyone has any, literally any advice on how I can enhance my ec's, while not messing with my gpa, then I would be *soooo grateful* 😭♥️

[@21stcenturydadd]

I would have bet you were headed to Yale based on the acceptance video. I still think its funny to think about the Stanford admissions folks being all confused. "This is a decline letter. She's not coming. What do we do with them? Where do they go? Anyone?" Have a great year.

[@cathytung9098]

Yes would like to see another video for essays

[@mintchoco_2558]

Awesome video and thank you for the tips!❤ How did you create state-wide coalitions? I’m looking to branch out my club so it’s not just for my school specifically. Any tips?

[@rko2946]

When I started high school, I really wanted to go to an Ivy or top school. My freshman year I started off strong with straight A’s. And I had a good first half of sophomore year on the cusp of another straight A year and then fell off. The same happened with junior year, started strong with almost all A’s only to fall off. I’ve struggled with mental health, dealt with other issues, and an extremely hard math class junior year. I’m not trying to play a sympathy game here but I’m so nervous going to the college process cuz my weighted gpa is a 3.83 and my unweighted is an abysmal 3.5. Anything I can do to help myself? I’m studying hard for the ACT and SAT(third time), and really want to have a perfect senior year!

[@aar2014]

Why not consider your state university?

[@rko2946]

@@aar2014 My state school is UMass Amherst. I did apply and get in. I’ve gotten into lots of good schools in this process including URochester, Northeastern, RPI, WPI, UConn, Rutgers, Drexel, and Temple. I am also maintaining nearly straight A’s in 4 AP’s. I went test optional in this process.

[@nikore111]

congrats millie!!!! thank you for sharing, u are so inspiring. I want to ask how did you find your honors ?

[@mildredsauce]

thank you so much!! for my honors, i searched "awards for high schoolers" online and went through the results to find awards that fit the work that i did!! hope this helps

so slay millie see u at yale

[@shanalee7001]

Congratulaitons, Millie! Would you mind sharing your google sheet you mentioned?

It seems like non-profit organizations are really helpful

[@niyah4604]

This helped a lot! I would love id you did an essays video. I was wondering how you found all of those honors and extracurricular to sign up for and do. Im a sophomore in high school and I don't know much about how to increase my amount of acclaimed honors and extra curricular's.

[@haveacarrot]

So im cooked😂😂😂😂😂

[@SomethingFunnyforyou]

Don't say that, if you *really* wanna get into you dream college/uni, then you'll definitely take action on it, it's not as complicated as they make it seem, just pay attention in class, go over your notes every now and then, participate in extra curriculars and practically any uni as good as Berkley or Standord will be ready to accept you!! Just stay positive!!

[@jahanarabegum-u4z8g]

Can you share your essays?

[@mikasj6118]

When did you and in general, or do you advice to submit college apps? Is it better to submit earlier? And also if I took ap classes in senior year, am I able to send those ap scores to colleges because wouldn’t college apps be over already? I love ur videos!❤️❤️

I have NO IDEA how i'm going to make my EC's look this good. I have leadership positions in a large variety of clubs and councils that I'm passionate about, but I don't know how I'm going to make them all interconnected on my commonapp! president of french club, secretary of environmental club, cross country runner, (very bad) piano player, national qualifier for speech & debate, and school rep for a youth council, doesn't really scream somebody interested in pursuing english as an undergrad, and then law school

it's all over the placeeee

[@user-qe5by6yz1g]

Hi, first of all, your video was really helpful. Thank you. So I'm a international student, and I'm at sophomore year which is my first year in America. I got interested in staying in America, and I was planning to go to university here. For know, my grade is pretty good but expect that, I have like no extracurricular except the sports I did. Do you think it is too late to set Princeton, UCLA, Penn, etc. for my goal university?

[@amberwang5986]

Hi! Loved your video and I was wondering how did you self study for APs? Thanks!

Don't worry, middle school doesn't matter and do whatever you want, in highschool is when you should lock in so don't burn yourself out before you get to hs, live your life and have fun while you're still young

[@SomethingFunnyforyou]

@@catherineb6889 That's really good advice, but the thing is... I just got into high school (9th grade) and everybody and their moms are telling me to start thinking about college, it's soooo stressful, I'm even more burdened since my sister got into a high class institute with a scholarship and everyone expects the same from me, believe it or not, I've already started to look up cambridge applications and scholarships 😭😭

Hi. Do you think I can get into UC Berkeley and Princeton? I go to a school that does competency based narrative grades. I'm supposed to be graduating by June of next year. Also I have lots of extracurriculars that are very unique and not so common. Like I'm on the envirothon team, am on the student leadership team, I did a summer trauma program at new york Presbyterian, and also am doing a summer neuroscience research program at rockefeller university. Additionally, for my junior year I'm doing a college algebra course at my school in association with howard university, a college environmental science course in association with UCSD, and this summer I'm taking hunter college now classes.

Im an international student and my school doesn't have APs, should I take APs outside of school?

[@catherineb6889]

You could take dual enrollment, id recommend it over APs because if you pass the course you're guaranteed the college credit whereas AP classes your credit is based off of one exam

[@TessaPhotograph]

Millie... why do you chose Yale??

[@CattyStars]

Probably because it is a strong university with a beautiful campus and lovely people

[@rutujachhattise9461]

My school doesn’t provide AP classes, please help! Are they necessary and if Yess please suggest programs in Mumbai for AP classes! Anyone?

[@AlasixYT]

yes ap classes r essential for college applications, but they can be supplemented by IB's. AP tests can be taken regardless of if u took the class or not, and regardless of what country u are in (correct me if im wrong). as for specific programs I cant say, as im a student in the usa, hope this helped :)
