I sat Schols at Trinity College Dublin

[@saswatmohanty]

For the very first time I saw someone putting up their actual "Failure to achieve" here. Felt really raw and really good, for once to just not see the utopian world but an actual scenario. Cheers mate!

[@MarioFabelo]

It is a bit tough to see one not being like that character in a tv show. But you realise that life is way more than getting that one thing. Life is a long run and in the end it is more about the experiences and learnings we take away than our individual successes! Glad you felt the video that close and honest. Love seeing comments like yours : )

[@zihangyu6504]

Most important is participation and not always the result. In my opinion you're Trinity's KZbin Scholars thank you for representing the students on KZbin Mario. 👍

[@MarioFabelo]

Oh, thank you so much for that! I don’t really represent the students but hopefully I can showcase and share some of the student experience and the atmosphere! Lots of videos yet to come!! ☺️🙂

Such a helpful way to see these competitive things as a lottery ticket! You can get more tickets buy putting more work in but it still comes down to luck at the end. Will keep this in mind with my Rhodes Scholarship application :)

[@MarioFabelo]

Thank you for your comment! I think that framework is a healthy yet effective one for acknowledging what is under our direct control and what isn’t. The component of luck is always present and there is no better approach that giving your best and hopefully the probability of success will be greater! Hope you the best with the Rhodes Scholarship and I am sure that whether or not you get into Oxford you will end up being really fine!

[@user-qt9pl5sd5r]

Thank you for the kind words! Best of luck to you for wherever life takes you too :)

[@ShafayKhan-ch8se]

Oh my God this was such an engaging video, felt just like a short film as you said. For all the hard work you do in your studies and on YT, you deserve more recognition. As I'm writing this; congrats on 4k subs!

[@MarioFabelo]

Thank you so much! I loved making this one. My best video of the year. There are no better stories than the ones lived 🙂 Next year we will be 10K (or around it). Thank you very much for the comment and the super kind words! Merry Christmas 😃🫶

[@marcocarreragarcia3271]

One of your best videos yet, great editing. Keep up the good work Mario!!

[@MarioFabelo]

Yo thanks my boy. Always on the grind 😎

[@antilax7142]

Even though I am not even finished with school yet, I’m looking up to you on my way of trying to get accepted at Trinity College Dublin. Thanks for putting all your effort into your studies and trying your best. I feel optimistic when I see the videos you post :)

[@MarioFabelo]

Thank you so much! Trust the process! I may see you next year at Trinity then?! 😄

[@lydiapk842]

The experience of Schols was amazing, even if you didn’t get it. All the studying you did will help you for the future! Proud of you honey ❤️

[@MarioFabelo]

☺️💖😘

[@sumayazaman7415]

You are so brave to participate in schols. Hard luck but the participation is more important and shows your courage Great video as always!!

[@MarioFabelo]

Thank you, Sumaya! I don’t have any “what if’s” or regrets now that I tried and didn’t get it 🙂

[@bencered]

Really well done, cinematic video! Feels like it was made by someone with 100x your subscribers ^^

[@MarioFabelo]

Thank you so much! It would be crazy to have 300K subs, won’t be there any time soon, but I really appreciate it 🙂

[@AlexPascualCid]

Eres un crack Mario! Otro vídeo muy muy top 💪

[@MarioFabelo]

Qué velocidad señor!! Muchas gracias 😃

[@colinmarshall5651]

Another brilliant video! Coming in to study physics myself now in 2 weeks. Just want to say thanks for your videos, they were amazing sources of motivation to push me through that extra hour of study.

[@MarioFabelo]

Thank you so much, Colin! Are you coming to Trinity?! Congrats for getting an offer! If so I may be one of your student mentors 😂

[@colinmarshall5651]

​@@MarioFabeloYeah, a Trinity offer! Been wanting to go for years, so it's a dream come true. I'm doing the theoretical physics (TR035) course though, are you a mentor for that one too or is it just the physical sciences course (am I right in saying that's your course)? Regardless, hopefully I'll see you around!

[@elitefusion750]

Well done to your friends that got it!! I still remember you telling me you are studying for the Schols and I was surprised. They are such hard exams and I'm proud that you worked hard and did your best. Even though your name wasn't called, you were still successful in trying!🎉

[@MarioFabelo]

@@elitefusion750 It was a really special experience! Thank you for watching 🙂

[@qwertyTRiG]

I tried schols too (as a mature student in Deaf Studies), and didn't make it. Nor did any of my classmates who tried. Still worth trying, though.

[@MarioFabelo]

The most common scenario is not a single person getting it, yeah. That is why it was so very exciting that one of us got it!

[@adambacon5314]

Wow you have inspired me, thank you :D

[@MarioFabelo]

And you have also inspired me with your comment 😃

[@Asqls]

dayum this video gonna get popular ngl

[@MarioFabelo]

Hahaha, we’ll see 😶

[@LiZhou-x3b]

Hello Mario, I will be attending trinity this year, but i just have a question and i thought it would be great to talk to a current student, i hope you don't mind, do you know when do first years start school?

[@MarioFabelo]

Freshers week starts on the 16th of September I think!

[@Ez11-24]

Dude please recommend where to start for scholarship at Trinity

[@littleastro7948]

At the beginning. Start by keeping good notes during first year so that you can easily decipher them in second year. Keep up that pace in second year and try to work on a chapter or two from 1st year every week. Might not be the best advice though as I didn’t get schols either xD

[@elsacarde7669]

OMG the little frenchy is si handsome 😱🤩😍

[@MarioFabelo]

Little?! Both of them are class 😎😂

[@malenabaezcomajuan473]

Benísimo el vídeo Mario

[@MarioFabelo]

Grazie mille Malenísima 🙏🏻🤗

[@cloudy772]

Great video, got any tips or advice for the next round of schols attempters? I’ll be giving a go at CS

[@MarioFabelo]

@@cloudy772 Thank you! Just take it really seriously and try to get familiarised with past papers as soon as possible. Just looking at the papers and how the questions look so that you start to get a feel! The rest is just having a good ability of improvising and problem solving under pressure. Best of luck!!!

[@mydreonia]

Amazing editing dude

[@MarioFabelo]

Thanks 🤙🏻😁

[@daringhardox245]

No Pav?

[@MarioFabelo]

After those exams trust me that there’s no energy left for anything other than catching up on sleep. I also flew to the UK to visit my girlfriend so I could still have some Guinness over there 😂
