I rarely feel any sort of way about these videos, but your common app essay was so heartfelt that I couldn't help but to leave a comment. Not only are you both beautiful and intelligent but you have a kind heart, charisma, and have already done so much in your years of existence. Thank you for the advice and for being the genuine person you are. Wishing you the best in all aspects of life.

[@DyllenNellis]

Wow thank you so much. This is really sweet of you to say. I really appreciate it!!

[@frozboomify]

Hey! im in Sophomore year at a university in Pakistan, and the only thing im wishing right is if you had made this video 2 years ago. This video feels like a conversation with someone who is not only a ridiculosuly talented individual, but whose heart is in the right place. I am currently helping my sister with her applications and we are so so grateful to you for this advice. In being who you are, you give others the courage of purusing their true selves as well. May you achieve so so much more. Hope youre safe and healthy amidst the Corona pandemic. Lots of love and wishes! MHK

[@DyllenNellis]

Aw thank you so much! This means so much to me. It makes me so happy that I'm able to help others through these videos. Wishing you both the best!

[@0819orbt]

thank you so much for sharing! i read your essays around november of last year and having an example of an accepted essay helped me write my own, and eventually get a full ride to stanford! tysmm!!

[@DyllenNellis]

CONGRATULATIONS!!! 🎉🎊🎈 this is wonderful news!!

[@starkamuala]

I love how you combined design and geomerty, so creative!

[@DyllenNellis]

Thank you!

[@esmeraldasaucedo6471]

This helps so so much thank you for taking time out of ur day to make videos like these!

[@DyllenNellis]

Of course! Thank you!!

[@abrahamalhamdani1097]

Thank you so much! I was having trouble with the intellectual vitality essay. I wanted to talk about Math or Neuroscience, but I was afraid that wasn’t the right move. I decided to talk about the sounds and rhythms I hear everyday and occasionally connect it back to math or neuroscience. I did the essay about what is meaningful to you about a series of events that led me to pursue neuroscience.

[@DyllenNellis]

I love that idea for your intellectual vitality essay! sounds great

[@pravinjay1675]

how did it go?

[@starrpocketzz6506]

omg did you really say EPIC SHIT in the essay sjfjdjsj

[@DiamondReacts978]

OMG!!!!! Dyllen your essay was the best thing I ever heard... If it were to be me I would of put something original, but you inspired me to put better things in my essay that will gain attention!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!!!! 💞💞😊😊

[@DyllenNellis]

thank you so much!

[@sunshinegirlypop]

Wow! It appears you have diverse interests - particularly art, comp. sci etc. My question for you is: did your main passions in highschool relate to your chosen major? I enjoy French and English; however, my plan is to double major in French and Biomeducal engineering. Great video!

[@DyllenNellis]

Yes on my application I put CS+Humanities (and I wanted the humanities to be art). I think your plan is great. Honestly though, what you put on your application for your major for STANFORD doesn’t really matter. They are flexible and encourage students to try out multiple things.

[@sunshinegirlypop]

Dyllen Nellis Thank you so much for your response I appreciate your feedback and time! Have a great day. 🙂

[@k999ford]

[@alliehuang9574]

You are an inspiration girl! And that blend of your eyeshadow! Oof! You a queeen

[@DyllenNellis]

aw thank you!!

[@lolaibrahim2402]

Thank you so much for this

[@c3po612]

Thank u so much for your vid! I’m often worried about how sincere my essays might seem to the AOs. I wrote an extremely personal essay for my common app, but I’m worried they might perceive it as a just a sob story.

[@DyllenNellis]

It depends how you right it. Make sure to not just focus on the challenges but emphasize the steps you took to address it and how it influenced your values as a person!

[@c3po612]

Dyllen Nellis thank you so much!💞

[@lakshmiprasadbodireddy6421]

Have you made anything on LOR and SOP,...

[@sarai5400]

[@kayak8190]

Dyllen Nellis i’m so grateful! i’m in 11th but this is going to make applications so much easier, and for that i thank you x

[@DyllenNellis]

That's great! It's good to get a head start. :)

[@kayak8190]

Dyllen Nellis :))

[@sallyxue6494]

Hi Dyllen! For the "Last two Summer" essay, would you recommend saying the specific name of the program you take? (My counselor recommends to do so but I think that would be exactly the same as my activity list) Thanks a lot!

[@DyllenNellis]

Hey! I think it is much more creative to say what you were doing within the program in a fun and new way rather than restating the name of the program!! I totally agree that otherwise it's just the same as your activity list :)

[@pamelafrutos2341]

I have so many questions i would like to ask☹️ Stanford is my dream school but don’t know where to start,I’ve already taken a year off and debating if i should give it a try this year or go to CC first🥺

[@prithvikota8704]

Stanford is your dream school and not trying is basically throwing your hard work in the trash. It is worth a try to apply as anything is possible. Good Luck

[@DyllenNellis]

Everyone's situation is different. If you want you can ask me some more specific questions either through KZbin or Instagram!

[@pamelafrutos2341]

Dyllen Nellis Omg that would be great,thank you❤️ I don’t really use IG anymore so KZbin or email? Thanks😭❤️

[@Izzi912]

You kind of look like Hayley Atwell. Great video and super helpful!

[@anto-iz8kk]

WHAT!?!!? why did you say EPIC SHIT in the essay?! HAHHAHAH that's epic for real XD

[@DyllenNellis]

Hahaha yup!!

[@PrinceAlonzoTV]

So now that I watched what you submitted for your art portfolio, what would you recommend using for that ? I’m not really the greatest artist lol. Please and thank you

[@DyllenNellis]

Can you clarify what you mean? Do you mean what medium to do the art in? Or..?

[@NYUTisch]

Very natural narrative
