HOW TO PAY FOR COLLEGE

[@soccerchick9841]

This was such a great video. Finally a youtuber that is self efficient, and realizes that not everyone has the financial support from parents/family.

[@AmandaMagana]

+soccerchick9841 aww thank you love :)

[@AmandaMagana]

Disclaimer about RA job: Definitely don't look into it if you're just looking to pay for housing because you will regret it because the RA job is a lot of work but rewarding if you enjoy what you're doing like I do :)

[@alissoncruz8783]

Amanda Magana what do you major in?

[@aracelimadrigal8889]

Amanda Magana what is RA?

[@jessicamagana2971]

[@AmandaMagana]

[@elizabeth-7064]

I'm just at 2 mins and I had to pause and commend you on how real this video is. It's not sugar coated and it actually shows how expensive everything can be

[@lilyan3495]

[@josephinedoll9333]

Thank you sm for this!! Very helpful. Planning to attend SCAD in the fall but having trouble finding the funds.

[@maes879]

[@AmandaMagana]

[@JasmineElizabethV]

I have been so stressed about this lately-thank you for posting this video!

[@chloe-et4gh]

[@AmandaMagana]

[@danceluvr30]

[@AmandaMagana]

[@GSOFSH07]

Can you do a video about studying on a "bad day" ? That would be awesome! Love your videos & it makes me want to attend UCLA even more!!

[@AmandaMagana]

do you mean like when I'm just not in the mood to study lol or after like you fail a quiz or something? :) yay so glad to hear that!:)

[@GSOFSH07]

just not in the mood to study sometimes I find myself super unmotivated haha

[@SuperAshdizzle]

Awesome video! Thanks for your honesty :)

[@ixWishie]

Thank you so much for making this video! My parents did not want me to go to a UC because mainly of the cost and how I was going to find a way to pay it all but I guess you can actually find a way.

[@Faith-gc1qu]

what specific scholarships did you apply for? Thank you.

[@AmandaMagana]

I forgot the specific names most were very obscure but the biggest one I won was one from Wells Fargo!

[@Faith-gc1qu]

Thank you

[@amberpeters2819]

Thank you for your transparency! Very appreciated!

[@shalinapaul6719]

Can you also do a video on organization like your notes

[@AmandaMagana]

do you mean like how I keep all my notes? Or like how I keep work from old classes?

[@ChelseaWiafe]

Amanda Magana I don't know what the above commenter wanted but a how to keep track of old work would be interesting

[@shalinapaul6719]

Please do a video on credit score a lot of people our age don't know how important it is to build credit

[@AmandaMagana]

of course!! It is already filmed and uploaded and I will make it live in a week or so :)

[@cmcneil2253]

This was great! Loved it. Can you talk about the different dorms at UCLA. Which ones you like best and what each one has to offer. More photos.

[@zariahsmith3606]

Very informative and helpful. Thank you.

[@nicolepresti6842]

Super useful video. Thank you so much :)

[@ayml0701]

this is really informative! thank you

[@MommysGot3]

I don’t apply for scholarships because they always ask for recommendation letters and I haven’t found anyone who will write one.

[@useryeahgoodbye]

Deleted teachers, coaches, family friends

[@aracelimadrigal8889]

It could be a neighbor, a personal friend, a community center you go or went to while in HS don’t you guys have to do community work hours? a church you attend, if you belong to a club or organization.

[@Deandrax]

This was helpful, I forgot about the RA thing

[@Whctrain1234]

I really want to attend ucla but I will have to pay out of state tuition. My school don't have a counselor because my school is small (400 students in total). :/

[@muhammadjonrustamov8891]

I got accepted into $69,000 college and got $194,000 for 4 years, is it the best option?

[@tamaraakpamgbo4019]

Hi Amanda, I'm applying to UCLA and I was wondering whether or not I should apply as undecided or Biology as my major? Help me please!

[@AmandaMagana]

up to you! they say it makes no difference officially but I feel like I was more successful when I applied undeclared life science because I feel like the most competitive applicants will apply as biology

[@tamaraakpamgbo4019]

Amanda Magana Thank you!

[@puterjess]

Did you go on scholarship websites or apply to scholarships through your school? And about private schools, they're better for lower income students. Especially schools that meet 100% of needed aid. I think I'm going to finally start apply to scholarships

[@fraisemarie1961]

Jessica Murphy I stumbled across a scholarship scrolling through KZbin videos as well which may be easier to get. Search The Official Headstrong and check out what they're offering too!

[@troybody6662]

@@fraisemarie1961 I went to the site, but it said that there is no content. So, I subscribed. I flipped to the last column, "about" and it said that "it will donate a $1,000 scholarship and entrepreneur award to people everywhere who need a little help out in the world!" How do I sign up?

[@troybody6662]

Texas Universities: Application and Scholarships | $1000 scholarship enables in-state tuition? Watch this video on You Tube. Also read my comment to Fraise Marie. I mistakenly linked it to her name.

[@georgievg]

I'm currently living in Bulgaria and the cost of attendance for the first year is really tough to manage. My parents' yearly income isn't enough and I'm afraid of actually failing to accumulate enough to afford it. I want to study business and management, are there any available scholarships or financial aid for out-of-state undergraduates? Anyways great video, I really enjoy the content you make and I would be glad if you could give me any tips and stuff, or any feedback at all. Thank you!

[@AmandaMagana]

I'm sure there is although I'm not too familiar with out to find scholarships for out of state :( maybe try googling it for the state you're interested in going to! Wish I could help more! Have you talked to your counselor at school about it?

[@georgievg]

Amanda Magana I don't know if you mean the UCLA counselor or at my school, bc unfortunately there isn't one in my school. But I'm really glad you responded and you care for your viewers. Have a good one!

[@fraisemarie1961]

Garbageorge look the The Official Headstrong on KZbin. It's their first scholarship that they're offering and since a bunch of people don't know about it yet the odds are definitely in your favor if you apply. It could really help!

[@ilmephax]

you should check out EU universities and programs. like daad in germany and so on.

[@larissasoares2252]

Hey Amanda this is kinda random but I was thinking about taking a emt class when I go into college. I don't know if you know but would I be able to do that while taking classes at the university. It has just been something Ive been thinking about so I can gain real medical experience.

[@AmandaMagana]

I actually plan on doing this next year! Hopefully I can get the position :) Go for it! There are lots of students who do both here :) but it also depends on the program

[@larissasoares2252]

Thank you ! If you do that you should definitely do videos on that :)

[@finllw]

Any tips for international students applying soon ??

[@troybody6662]

I over heard church members talking about accepting students from Asia to there homes. They were very happy with their international students. Call pastors in the California Los Angelos area. Also call UCLA to see what they know. There is a great article by U.S. News & World Report by Farrel Powel, 4/4/18 on how to get in state tuition for out of state students.

[@rifraf6135]

I want to go out to college, get a dorm. But my family doesnt want me. South East Asian here. Freshmen in High School. They didnt let my sister go to med school because they didnt want her to do dorm. How in the world can i succeed if they dont let me go? How? HOW? Why should i suffer everyday, waiting for the metro or cab, why do this and waste priceless time? Its unnecessary? Why? If you can help, please do so. Im 14 and want to succeed, and one of the steps is to do new things. I HAVE THE POTENTIAL, i aint no weeb at the school thats not trying to do good. 99.2 average, saluratorian in middle school, in New York. Im trying. I want to expand. But thats hard when youre restricted by the people you love. Your family, who thinks you cant deal with the responsibility of going away, who thinks that youll somehow end up dead. HOW? People think you can learn once u get a job, once you finish college near home. But you dont know if thats possible.

[@ikjotbhangu2988]

you can try and convince them or just go if you get scholarships and a job. try getting a job soon so you can start saving up to pay for it yourself just in case. eventually they would have to deal with it.

[@rifraf6135]

@@ikjotbhangu2988 okay, so your suggestion is if theyre not convinced, i should just try and get as many scholarships and funds, and possibly a part time job, so they wont have to worry about the money part? That seems good. But the thing is theyre gonna be really angry at me and think that i dont care about them. They think im going to leave them forever.

[@jeffdunn797]

Hi Amanda - great video. Can you list the HS scholarships you applied for and which ones you received. I'm not sure all counselors here are really good about knowing all the things that are out there so if you could list the ones you applied for that gives a good place to start. Thanks very much.

[@fraisemarie1961]

Jeff Dunn I stumbled across this video and saw a bunch of you guys asking about scholarships and I felt like I should share one I found recently on KZbin actually... if u look up The Official Headstrong you can check it out and see if you meet the requirements! I applied for everything when I was school and I mean everything! Free money is free money

[@JasmineElizabethV]

I have been so stressed about this lately-thank you for posting this video!
