I'm really loving your videos! They're very inspirational. Keep it up!

[@JoshBeasley]

Thank you!

[@JoshBeasley]

Thanks for watching guys! I've been working a big project for a couple weeks now and it will hopefully be up tomorrow!

[@hannahharens3640]

I've been loving watching this series! The advice is super helpful as I tackle college admissions. I have some community service, mostly in the form of church mission trips. This isn't really in line with anything I'd wanted to study, do you think it is still valuable to highlight as it makes up most of my community service? And how can I make it prevalent in my application? Thanks again for making these great videos!

[@JoshBeasley]

You'll have an opportunity to talk about this in the summer activities section of your application

[@peytonmeyer2196]

How should we go about sharing the actual number of hours? Is it bad to keep track too heavily, should we just estimate for example “around 100 hours of community service”? Is it all just honesty or will a college want a log somehow of activities and hours?

[@stailenknife5453]

good content

[@haileycerrato9667]

Should you include the hours in your application?

[@diwangislucky]

How much community service hours do you think you did in high school? I know this isn't important... but I'm kinda curious.

[@OneJuan0633]

Di Wang tomorrow I’m about to do my first 2:30 hours for ROTC lmao

[@apotatoe8507]

This is now my daily alarm clock lol 😂😂😂

[@JoshBeasley]

Awesome lol

[@jackieruso6493]

I actually like this idea better but I also think this should be extended to service type jobs like being a firefighter, EMT, police officer, etc and not just military veterans. On top of that we should do away with race based and wealth based affirmative action.

*what if I’m not religious*

[@bryanduran15]

Great video !

[@JoshBeasley]

Thanks!

[@juancamilomillan7558]

I have done about 300 hours in tutoring Algebra, Chemistry, Physics and Biology, plus help some kids from the public school that will present the Icfes(Colombia's standardized test). Is that enough?

[@JoshBeasley]

It all depends, but that will definitely strengthen your application!

[@thechannel8378]

Please, I need a help How can I calculate My GPA as International Student ( Egyptian ) Cuz we don't have A or B or C Grade. Our transcript like ( Math 60/55 . Science 50/50 . History 60/58 ) I hope you understand ^^

[@itdefgetsbetter.]

Don't worry about that. Your school will send a transcript with explanations to the colleges you apply to.

[@thechannel8378]

Yup Actually I want to know My GPA to know that If I am qualified or not cuz I Don't want to waste my time taking a lot of exams like ( Toefl . Sat .Ap Exams etc ) and got rejected because my GPA is low So I want to know My Gpa before doing anything

[@itdefgetsbetter.]

oh I see. Well, do you have a guidance counselor in your school? if so, simply ask him/her.

[@thechannel8378]

Maybe he will help me But I have A question. what's The Average degree of A+ ( Is It above 90 % Or 95 % or 97 % ) and The Others Like A , B+,B,C+. etc

[@itdefgetsbetter.]

I think, every single school has its own grading system. In my school, for instance, we don't have A+ A= 95-100% A-= 90-94% B+=87-89% B=85-86% B-=80-84% C+=77-79% C=75-76% C-=70-74% D(+/-) < 70 u don't really want this grade Once again, different schools have different grading policy.

[@andrewna14]

How many hospital volunteer hours impress selective colleges?

[@JoshBeasley]

It's not necessarily the number of hours that will impress colleges, but rather the way you talk about them in your application.

[@ArnoldSetiadi]

Well said. Once again, awesome video. ;D

[@sarahameed114]

Do u know what age volunteering at hospitals? Also, what do u even do as the service -thx
