i watched this when it first came out, but cmu has been my absolute dream since i was in elementary school. i'm watching this again to calm my nerves as i've worked super hard everyday of high school. thank you for posting this video, it's so incredibly helpful ❤️

Hi there! Great video, I really thought your points were helpful and insightful on how to approach the prompts properly. As a Junior, I'd like to take some time to gradually begin thinking about how to answer these questions when the time comes next school year -- CMU is a dream school of mine, so I really appreciate it! If you are open to suggestions for colleges, could you perhaps look into some UCs? Maybe UCSD or UCB? Thanks!

How about one on caltech please?

[@leealysia9965]

I just found this in CMU's website: "Students will not be required to submit official score reports unless they are admitted and choose to enroll." Maybe it has been updated since the time of this video.

Much of the advice from my "How to get into University of Chicago" video from a few years ago still remains very applicable today: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pofYi5tnjM-Ai7s And you can also check out my visit to campus here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4Krn4ikqpeHiqc Good luck.
