Did u make it?

[@tiffanyle514]

Thank you so, so much for making these videos!

[@jeanjnyang]

My son is a senior from high school this year. Thanks for your advice on UC essay which needs to be more like a glorified resume. Very detailed and precise! Thanks!

[@edeyu8734]

thanks for the google drive!! that's soooooo helpful

[@LoriFroze]

I feel like you are reading my mind and posting all the videos I need haha! Also two videos in a week? I love that❤️

[@DyllenNellis]

Ahaha thank you! Yeah I'm having a lot of fun making these videos :)

[@ThongNguyen-sm8sn]

I love your essays. One thing I learnt was being straight forward and ignoring fancy grammatical structures in my uc essays.

[@DyllenNellis]

**UPDATE** I have since learned SO MUCH MORE about college app strategy and compiled ALL MY ADVICE for the UC APPLICATION in a video!!! How to write the PIQs, fill out the activities/awards sections, and more!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oorFpKuZj8aaiaM

[@hannahmeza8769]

THANK YOU!

[@komilkhatamov1251]

This just makes me question my life...

[@smet9922]

😂😂same bro

[@kubwow]

I love how your shortened common app essay still sounds cohesive 😭😭😭 any advice on adapting essays? 😥😪

[@DyllenNellis]

Thanks! It’s all a matter of only keeping the MOST important parts that are necessary for your story to move forward. Also try to combine sentences together!

[@yassslay2023]

watching these and realized im objectively lame 😭

[@patricktan7120]

You look like Miranda Cosgrove

[@emmavictor5746]

Thank you for making this video, it’s very helpful and informative! I was wondering if the topics and awards that you wrote about in your PIQs were also mentioned in your activities and awards section on the UC application? Or did you leave out some details on the description part of the activity/award and only mention it in your PIQs?

[@DyllenNellis]

Most of them were mentioned on my activities/awards but the PIQs gave me a chance to elaborate on them and tell the stories! Also, when I applied, the UC app didn't have as large of a section for the activity/award descriptions

[@octep416]

Wow you are so awesome!!! I do not know how I got into UCSD to be honest xD

[@DyllenNellis]

Congrats!!

[@ashleyjudithh]

wow, you did a lot. junior year was the year I thought I would strive but covid came. I dont really do what you do, like do activities or computer science. I am just a 16 year old girl the first generation, only child with a nail business.and I really want to go to UCLA but im not even sure what I will talk about.

[@jimintho3066]

[@ppinurbutt2542]

if my weak point are my ECs, what should i write in my PIQs?? will it be weak if i dont really list any achievements there?

[@fafantibrey1352]

Wow did u get help from anywhere?

[@DyllenNellis]

My parents read my essays and helped me make changes but other than that not really :)

[@jimintho3066]

What other UCS did you apply to?

[@DyllenNellis]

I only applied to UCLA & UCSD
