hi katie!!! road to 90k aaaahhh!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@juvenal.morales01]

Katie Tracy Do you know any valuable resources that will help me improve my SAT score??

[@eczemmaa]

anyone else lowkey fleek down watching “how i got into ivy leagues!” vids bc it makes you realize that you’re not doing nearly enough 😂😂😂

[@KatieTracy]

NOO DON’T THINK THAT! If anything, I hope it inspires you to pursue what you’re passionate about just as these people have. Don’t feel pressured or doubt yourself! Do your best - that’s what counts. :)

[@whysabby]

ME OMFG

[@mariebrammer549]

Why am I not interested In anything 😳😭

[@vinayakiyer3122]

Choosing Dartmouth over Harvard.....hmm.....interesting

[@archiej6386]

Probs because of cost. Maybe she can get cheaper rent from a friend in Dartmouth

[@archiej6386]

@Mungpi Mung I don't think it s got anything to do with financial aid as that only covers tuition. Tuition isn t usually the problem as you can get a loan for tuition far more easily than a maintenance loan

[@crazyforcats19]

You know, just because it's "more prestigious" does not mean it's a perfect match (and I don't mean academic match. I mean a match for the person as a whole)

[@Lena-rk3ph]

Mungpi Mung what she and many others didnt realize is that financial aid packages are negotiable! she could have presented her darthmouth package to the other schools and the other schools may have upped her aid.

[@halloweenbloodfrost]

Lila Wijaya any family that makes under60000k gets a full ride at Harvard...

[@shay285]

"We managed to get 50 kids into science highschools in the Philippines." okay, why haven't I heard of her 😂😅

[@keziahmanuel4937]

Loved listening to Janel speak, she’s just so eloquent

[@KatieTracy]

RIGHTT🤩👌🏼

[@paxtonacer]

Don't stress on test scores or gpa. I ended up getting a 29 on my act and a 3.8 gpa and I got into Cornell. Just make sure you do something that makes you stand out (start a club, become president of an established club), and focus on making a perfect essay that describes your unique perspective on the world.

[@troy7835]

3.8 is really good, and 29 is still above average...so

[@bbchanel12]

Did you ed to cornell?

[@lovelyilhan2063]

I feel so under accomplished

[@KatieTracy]

DON'T!! Remember everyone goes at different paces to different places. One day you will have your time! Just be patient and trust the journey :)

[@crystalgrace289]

These are all a bunch of geniuses 😢

[@KatieTracy]

They are incredibly hard workers! If you put in the effort, you can surely go far like them too :)

[@laneybrush7176]

1.) Dig a Hole 2.) Name it love 3.) Watch people fall in love

[@inactiveaccount4398]

Laney, Gracie, And Penelope hi this is my favorite comment ever

[@KatieTracy]

Well this was random😂😂

[@laneybrush7176]

Katie Tracy lol. I thought of this and I was like hahaha this is how people fall in love

[@00Kristyna00]

After watching this video i'm in a dilemma: (A) Do I dig a hole, jump in it and cry about my worthlessness? (B) Do I work harder to achieve things that will make me proud of myself? Please vote below (LOL) ps. I'm actually graduating in a few months, and starting my masters degreee... but in Italy school isn't nearly as competitive, wich is kind of sad because you aren't pushed to be better or do all these extracurriculum activities.

[@mariedeflaviis]

BBBBBBBB YOU CAN DO IT WOOOOOHOOOOOOO 😂😂😂😂

[@jamessliton9410]

B

[@maraisfan4life517]

You should only do extracurriculars if you want to, not cause you’re forced to. If you’re only into academics, that’s perfectly fine.

[@dianaanonymous5794]

JANEL (Dartmouth) IS OUTSTANDING. I've read a few articles about her. Such a role model. (Also, I was confused where the school is because I figured that some countries (such as the US) have a higher likelihood of getting into Ivies. Turns out this school is from the Philippines. ISM (International School Manila))

[@anoushkapuri5245]

OMG ADVICE FROM INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS!!!!!! YOU ARE AMAZING! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!

[@bluerhino7534]

First off when I was growing up I thought wherever I go to college the more successful I will be. This is also what the school system brainwashed the children into thinking. I’m an orthodontist and I did not go to near a prestigious school. While on the other hand, my best friend went to Harvard. All I have to say is that I am getting paid almost twice as much as him and trust me I DO NOT CARE ABOUT THAT. But don’t let people tell u whatever college u go to determines your success. But, don’t stop chasing ur dream if that is where u truly want to go.

[@MissHannahBeauty]

DAMN PREDICTED 45

[@KatieTracy]

YOU IN THE FUTURE!!😉🙌🏼

[@DianaAngYTchannel]

MissHannahBeauty hannah, you doing IB?

[@mishykwaffa9748]

Won’t be in university for a while, but still an extremely useful video ❤️❤️

[@sonnyheatgames1653]

Welp.. there goes my chances

[@KatieTracy]

No!! Don’t think that! Just do what you’re passionate about and invest your time in it. Convey that in your app to be unique :) you never know. You may fit what they’re looking for!

[@shao5791]

YOU GOT INTO ALL IVY LEAGUE COLLEGES??

[@KrissLisbon]

Shao Bajamunde who did? Can you give me the time stamp?

[@sarahbautista7893]

THE IB PREDICTED SCORES ARE SO HIGH 😩 i'm just praying i get my diploma and i haven't even started it yet

[@KatieTracy]

DON’T WORRY GIRL❤️Just do your best and that’s all that matters. You’ll end up at a great school that fits you :)

[@sarahbautista7893]

Katie Tracy THANK YOU!

[@velvetluna5503]

[@KatieTracy]

Aww I really tried to edit it concisely! Thank you so much :)

[@aidasall4815]

This international school literally looks perfect, I rly wish my school looked like this 😩

[@devanspencer9362]

This is a super helpful video for those wanting to attend an Ivy League school. My high school didn’t offer IB classes until after I graduated, that was quite a few years ago now though.

[@KatieTracy]

Oh I see! Thanks for watching!

[@kennedyjane313]

Wow these people are amazingggg

[@weyheyjess]

Thank you for the kind words and advice. Good luck on college! 😊❤

[@vildancerci3238]

wtf why did she choose dartmouth over HARVARD ? (Btw thank you for the video ) 😊

[@the80386]

Dartmouth is an excellent university. It's also an Ivy League member.

[@dianaanonymous5794]

In an article i read (i can't remember for sure though so don't quote me on this) she said that Dartmouth gave her a feeling of being in a new place but also being home. "The sun is shining but it's cold. It's a dichotomy. I love it." (Non verbatim)

[@alexacvergara]

this is so informative! thank you for these kinds of videos!!! very helpful ❤️

[@square_buster]

We are so close to 90K subscribers! Advance congratulations Katie! I will always support you.

[@anne1267]

How did the filipino girl from a low income background get so much extracurriculars whilst managing acads? Im from the Philippines too and im not sure where to find good extracurriculars despite being from a middle class family. Im willing to find ways to have more extracurriculars, but i dont know where to look. Please help

[@kaylaperkins9753]

Omg!!! 😭💖

[@lydianelson3831]

for anyone willing to answer: how important are research and internships during high school to colleges? I've done a small amount of research and haven't really found any opportunities that fit me where I live. My school does offer EMR, EMT, and CNA internships for upperclassman. However, this would take two hours out of my schedule and replace classes that I both need before going into college and am interested in.

[@maraisfan4life517]

In Australia, not at all.

[@yourvisualjournal4078]

ALOHA!! 🌸 I'm about to sleep (bc ehem it's 12:18AM) but how can i when you have a new upload!! Yey for this 💖

[@KatieTracy]

Aw thank you!!❤️good night!

[@esthermaebracero6566]

alohaaa katieee 🌸

[@Ty44789]

Did you apply to colleges out of state and did your friends if so can you talk about the scholarships and financial aid?

[@JakeRoman]

I'm loving your channel Katie :) I'm new here just started my channel recently but I'm glad I found you! :) Peace, JR.

[@KatieTracy]

Thank you so much! Welcome :)

[@dianaanonymous5794]

I'm really curious. Where were your high schools? Janel mentions jeepneys so it seems like her highschool was from the PH, but I can't be too sure. If her high school (or anyone else's) was in the Philippines or somewher other than the USA, can it somehow be explained how they managed to get through the college application process as international students? Really need some help here as I'm from the PH as well and I really want to know.

[@dianaanonymous5794]

A few months later and I know the answer. For anyone else wondering, I posted another commsnt somewhere here. (They go to school at ISM in Manila, Philippines)

[@laurennicky1]

Oof now I’m even more conflicted on whether I should apply early to Yale :(( Enrique was so qualified and charismatic that I feel like I have no chance

[@Allenyeah1]

Thank you so much! Your video really provides a lot of valuable information ! Looking forward to seeing more!

[@KatieTracy]

Thank you for watching!! I really hope so :) I’ll definitely do more.

[@denneyancheta1826]

I'm incoming college this year but sadly I will not enter any of that university, but its really helpful 😊 Love you 😘😍

[@KatieTracy]

Have an amazing time in college!!❤️ congrats on graduating!

[@denneyancheta1826]

Katie Tracy Omg! U replied Waaaahhhhhhhhhh Thank you so much 😘😘😘😘

[@omegatree7635]

Can someone explain IB? I go to a Charter School and I want to see if I'm missing out on something.

[@salskrake1]

You can google it for more info, but the brief is: IB is International baccalaureate abbreviated. It is a two-year program, In it you have six chosen subject and a core of assignments unrelated to school disciplines, each subject gives a score out of 1 to 7. Then the core can give you 1 to 3 more if those assignments are accomplished and depending on how well. Mainly your scores are based on finals given at the end of the two years all located within four weeks. IB is known to be hard and outbeats many European and North American schooling systems in rigour and is therefore sometimes seen highly by admission. Its fun, and its challenging.

[@victorli7081]

Where did you guys film this? It looks really nice

[@denisseangelie]

The girl in the top right looks like pam

[@frza888]

yhasispammy Pam Swing? Cause i think so too!

[@rosechuang_]

I went to World Scholar Cup too!

[@jayeagustin]

I have been in the Philippines my whole lifee but I always wanted to go to an Ivy League med school 😫😫😫 however i have no idea at all how or where to start

[@KatieTracy]

It’s totally possible!! Start by googling how to apply to ivy league colleges as a filipino or international student. A lot of people have done it and so can you :)

[@erinrose1097]

Huh, I did the worlds scholars cup a few years back(I’m from Australia), but although we made it to the global rounds, we weren’t able to get the money to attend.

[@adriananoriega]

My standardize test scores are so low :/ Can you make a advice video to help improve your scores?

[@KatieTracy]

Yes!! That’s exactly my next video :) SAT tips then ACT tips!

[@khkr708]

I KNOW IT'S SUPERRR LATE BUT WOW YOU GOT INTO ALL IVY LEAGUE COLLEGES!?

[@Anything13265]

hello tracy!! i am also an ib student. when applying to colleges, do they look on the gpa of your entire highschool or only your ib years?

[@ADAM-uf3my]

Im still stuck in the part where Janelle said she came from a low income. How low really though? You study at ISM, even if you're in a scholarship program thats going to suck the hell out of you financially.

[@micoleangeline1226]

ALOHAAAAA!!!! IM EARLY HEHE!! I LOVE U SO MUCH !!!!!!!

[@fatmatota6571]

Alohaaaa! I love you sooo much♥

[@KatieTracy]

Ily more❤️

[@qwertyuiop9335]

u forgot to bleep 10:57 omfhshsjck

[@claudettes.7749]

This is so coool even though i dont know what SATs and ACTs are 😅

[@KatieTracy]

They’re standardized tests high school students take for college admission in the US. :)

[@whysabby]

“My scores were very unimpressive” *gets nothing below a 33 on the ACT*

[@jatperez_]

I love you ❤️💕

[@jessiechan1379]

That Yale guy is my favorite like HARVARD. HARVARD. HARVARD XDD me too bro But in all seriousness, I agree with everything that was said in this video, if you just follow your passions you will be able to get into amazing schools such as the Ivy League but the problem is I don't have a passion...

[@lacampanella6172]

We would be a great team. I have a passion but where I live I don’t have the opportunities for extracurriculars and awards!

[@RowanStaMaria]

Dragon bowing here 🐉 (cough you know where 🇮🇩) It's great you guys are proud and are taking the time to give advice. Pretty secretive and quiet about how to be successful from your friendly competitor 😂. But hey, lots of respect and good luck from a fellow Filipino.

[@KatieTracy]

AHAH WHERE ARE ALL THESE DRAGONS COMING FROM. Do you mean you’ve been secretive? But hey, thank you so much and best of luck to you too!🇵🇭🤗

[@RowanStaMaria]

Katie Tracy It's more of people not sharing their success stories as much. I suppose it's so others can pave their own way. And hey I***S is more tight-knit than you would know (not only the athletes) so everyone is in the loop 😛

[@90sgirl99]

Hello I'm an international student, but we already have our Bacaleaureate when we graduate high school. Am I supposed to pass the IB too ?

[@KatieTracy]

Hi! I’d think receiving your IB diploma and passing would be ideal but it really depends on the college you’re going to and if your offer is contingent on your IB score. Best of luck!
