How bad of a situation am I in? I’m a junior and I have no extracurriculars during high school so far. I know the colleges don’t care about my excuses, but I was in four extracurriculars during 8th grade that all were canceled that year and the next due to COVID . Then I moved and missed sign up dates for a couple things and neglected to sign up for the others because I’ve been super anxious about that stuff. Now I’m becoming a junior and can’t bring myself to join anything. For the record I do pretty well in school. I have a 3.95 unweighted gpa and have taken every AP class that’s available to me. Also, not sure if colleges care at all, but I’m taking a semester abroad my senior year.

[@BrianaBerger]

You just gave me PTSD of junior year haha

[@laraakdol7267]

Briana Berger I just wanted to say that I have watched your Stanford admissions video so many times. I hope to be able to also get to experience that for myself! (I’m currently a freshman and would love any words of advice you could give me) Your video has really pushed me and I just wanted to thank you so so much Briana!😊

[@BrianaBerger]

Awww, thank you! I remember those times as a freshman and stressing out about Stanford lol In terms of advice, try not to be well-rounded. They want to see you focus on your passion and explore your interests. I did that and it worked lol. I did have a couple of clubs that weren't CS related, but it was obvious from my app that my passion was CS. Also, try to take the most challenging classes you can (stereotypical advice, but true). The admissions committee compares you, especially with academics, to your peers who are also applying to Stanford at the same time as you. So, keep up with your peers, especially those who are high achieveing. I took about 15 AP classes throughout my whole high school career (including senior year) (that is a lot! don't stress. It just happens that my school offers a lot of APs (~30 APs) and usually kids at my school who get into the HYPMS have 13 to 22 APs). It just depends on your school, and look at past students from your school that got into Stanford to see how many APs you should take. I also suggest researching into awards/scholarships for next year. I did this during the middle of my sophmore year and did it each and every year to keep on top of everything. I plan on doing a couple of how to get into stanford videos where I focus on advice and some general concepts to keep in mind. I wish you the best of luck!!! I hope that you will be at Stanford in four years!

[@laraakdol7267]

Briana Berger Thank you so much Briana! This means a lot to me and I just wanted to tell you how much of an inspiration you are to me. Even though it might seem like nothing that you replied it means so much. Again thank you so so much. I wish you the best of luck!!!

Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought UC’s only require 2 yrs of history? It’s part of their A-G requirements.

[@claire4897]

I thought the same too! I just looked on the UC requirements page and it literally says that you only need 2 years. UCSB requires u to have at least one college history course and UCLA requires you to have a B or better. Maybe she meant 4 years for international students?

[@brookifyd]

Sorry about that! It looks as if requirements have changed I think since I worked with that particular student who needed 4 years (though at one point I believe UCLA did require 4 years for liberal arts candidates in some programs)-- requirements also vary school to school and department to department for special programs. The point is to look up what you need at the caliber of school you are applying to and make sure you're reaching those requirements!

(Ex: PERT/PSAT) But, I have straight As in every one of my classes so far. I've also been taking most of my classes at our local college through Dual Enrollment. (I also have straight As there too) My question is if I end up doing badly on my SAT will that really lower my chances of getting into a good school?

[@MrAlfalfaTV]

Rachie- Face college admissions is based on soooo many factors, not just standardized test scores! It is okay if test scores are lower if another section can make up for it!!

[@gene4170]

Hey! You can always take past ACT and SAT tests online. Although they don’t count towards your actual score, it’s definitely good to have practice and figure what’s best for you. When it’s time for you to take the actual test, you can take both if you really want to and if you’re not satisfied you can always take it again, but it’s usually recommended to not take it more than 3 times because the chances of getting a higher score are pretty low. Hope this helps!!

[@erin_enfield501]

I'm a freshman and by my Junior Year I want to increase my ACT score by 7 points to make a 31. Does anyone have any advice for me?

[@rachelgordon9096]

I would say to judge your score in each section based on how much you think you can improve it and set a specific goal for each section first. This will help you figure out which sections to focus on in order to reach your target score. in terms of actually raising your score, I would just try taking as many practice tests as you can. If the issue is pacing make sure you time your practice tests and work on your speed but if the issue is knowledge I would start working through practice problems whenever you can and not worrying about time that way you can become familiar with the problems. Hopefully this helps, I am currently trying to raise my science score by 6 points and I think my main issue was time. I was able to get a 36 in math and my main strategy for timing this section was to start from the very last question and work backwards since the questions at the end are much harder than those at the beginning. I'm not sure if this will help at all but this is what works for me!

[@nootnoot5838]

You can start with practice tests. Your score will increase as you learn more in your hs classes. My score increased 10 points between the end of eighth grade to the almost end of freshman year. Since then I’ve increased it another two points. For now, start to get ahold of the timing. You don’t have to do the intense studying in each area just yet, but do a little each week with practice sections. I really recommend the ACT online prep from ACT’s website. I couldn’t have raised my score much without it.

[@rachelelizabeth6017]

Sadly I don’t. I’m studying for the SAT but I’ve found that the official practice tests really help!!! It really helps me to actually sit down and time myself at home and take the practice test.

[@CoachHallWrites]

The official College Board resources and Khan Academy are good. Focus on which skills you need for each section. Generally speaking English is easier to improve than Reading because it is more rule based.

[@nathannouri9952]

Geez what ever happened to high school just being high school. There’s no way I’m ever going to waste my summer straining my brain and free time on a community college class. These expectations are outrageous

[@pipermohring]

Why do you say students should choose between the SAT and ACT? I took both; is that a bad thing?

[@mariewhite4742]

Likely because it’s a lot for some people to study for and take both so it’s best to put all your energy into one. I took both too, but I’m only gonna retake one cause I wanna just put my energy into improving 1 cause with corona I already barely have motivation to take them let alone keep retaking these 4 hour tests

[@annachen9324]

Hi Brooke! I've watched tons of your videos and I really loved how you summarize all the tips, especially for ACT and college administrations, so thank you! As a freshman, I took the ACT and did pretty terribly (I didn't even meet the benchmark scores), but I've been preparing to take another one this coming July. This next school year, I will be a junior which means I will be provided another ACT that's given by the school to all juniors. So with my circumstance, can I submit my highest scores from each subject to colleges I'm applying to or do I have to send in all the scores I get?

[@jillianbrodsky]

Anna Chen it depends on the school. Some schools "superscore" your ACT, aka only taking the best parts from each test, and some schools only take the test with your highest composite.
