You’re not “lucky” you’re hard working you’ve earn it. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@michaylapaschali4965]

When Megan was talking about how Ciera getting into a school and her not, I completely understood and related cause I was in the same position when my sisters (I'm a triplet ) both got into university and I didn't

[@daynahfox2899]

Literally cried with y’all before you opened the email. You guys make me wish I was a twin! Haha that bond is legit👊🏼

[@clairemcdonald9230]

i literally cried when they cried when they found out (for iowa)

[@smurfdog22]

Same! I was crying along with them when they were seeing if they got into Iowa

[@aliflores840]

This is one of their best videos imo. I loved seeing the vulnerable side of you both it was so real and authentic made me relate to you guys more. Congrats to you both I watched the entire thing throughout and felt like I was on the journey with you 😅 I was so happy I started tearing up when you both got accepted!! It was such an exciting moment when you both got in but the fact that you’re twins, it was such a loving sister moment too ❤️ congrats again and you both are gonna do amazing at pt school!!

[@lauratenveen]

50 MINUTES?! YEESSS!! can't wait to watch this after exam week 😊😊

[@leeh.3523]

I watched the whole video bcs I couldn’t stop. The suspense was killing me 😂😂 I felt so deeply with you since I went through an application process not even a year ago. And I am so grateful for showing the up’s and downs because that makes it so real ! So proud of you ! Great job !

[@Kali_Lucas]

I usually just watch and never leave a comment, but I wanted to for this video. I graduated from Iowa State this past May and took a gap year. I also went through the PT school application process this summer and did early decision to Des Moines University and got accepted. When I saw your videos of you both going to your DMU interviews I was super excited and kept looking for your names in the private DMU class of 2023 Facebook group. Although some of my favorite youtubers won’t be in my PT class at DMU, I am so excited you both got into your top pick! Congrats! I can’t wait to follow your journey through PT school as we all go through it together!

[@lonewonderer5039]

I can't believe it's 2023 already or something like that. I feel like we are in the future but no flying cars are around. Also Skynet and robots were suppose to take over but that didn't happen lol.

[@Kali_Lucas]

Sydney Chin A’s and B’s. Having a lot of observation hours and volunteer experience also help a ton!

[@morgankumm]

i have a twin myself and we are both seniors in high school and we decided that we were going to apply to different schools except for one, and our number one school was the same so it was very nerve wrecking to find out if we would both be accepted or rejected or if only one of us would make it, etc. but we both made it and we are both going to the same school for nursing, so super exciting!!!

[@mariekedufresne53]

morgan welcome to the crazy world of nursing school! I graduated in 2008. Pediatric respiratory RN

[@owen5823]

so so brave of you guys to show your raw emotions in this video; it makes it so much more authentic and real. props to you guys! and congrats on iowa!!!

[@SaraStPeter]

[@lelek991]

I immediately got nervous when I saw that this video was posted.I was shacking during every decision and I cried with you guys at the end! I'm sooo happy for the both of you

[@laurenlong2791]

I just bawled like a baby at you opening your decision for Iowa.. I am so happy for you both! So glad the uncertainty is no more and you both can take some time to relax and finish up the semester! ❤️

[@nahla2713]

You are literally one of the first people I started to watch on KZbin and one one of the ways I learned English and right now I am a second year student of doctor of physical therapy and I feel so so so proud of you guys

[@taylorreis4973]

Congrats 🥳!! I’m so proud of both of you! It feels like the past year that I’ve been watching you on KZbin has gone by so quickly. I’m so excited to see what you do in the future :)

[@kennedysmee2720]

omg!! I’ve been watching your vlogs forever and hearing you guys talk about applying and interviewing for pt school, I’m so excited to finally have this video! I was literally crying with you guys when you found out you got into Iowa. I’m so excited & proud for you both!!!

[@Aurora-ht4cq]

50 minutes, what a pleasure. And i Love that you show us both heavy moments and joys. Love their vlogs and watch them over and over. Hug from Norway

[@brookeari]

Congrats, I’m so excited for y’all! I’m in my first year of grad school at UK so I know how much of a relief you feel now after choosing! Good luck, you’ll both do great 😊

[@juliejustdance]

When you were crying it made me so emotional because I know how hard you guys work and how much you wanted it. Plus, I have been watching you guys for so long. Congratulations, guys! You really deserve it!

[@iriswaffle4400]

I'm so happy for you guys! It made me feel emotional when you got into your top pick. I'm glad you can attend PT school together and share the experience. I also love that you documented the whole process. Thanks for making this video.☺ God bless.

[@willowscarlette3657]

IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU GUYS! you’ve been working so hard on this for so long in all of your vlogs and it’s amazing to see how everything worked out so well!

[@alyissamay4784]

I cried right along with you guys throughout the entire video. It’s definitely so emotional for me to see how much you guys have grown over the years. I’m honestly so proud of you guys and everything you’ve accomplished. I don’t even know what to say because I’m so speechless. Congratulations guys! You guys deserve this and I can’t wait to see the amazing things you guys will do next!❤️

[@MeganandCiera]

Alyissa May that means a lot, thanks ❣️

[@eliaainere599]

I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU! YOU DESERVED IT MEGAN AND CIERA, CONGRATULATIONS!

[@laurenginn3040]

i normally watch and never comment but i just had to say i am so happy for y’all!! my heart was pounding watching you open your letters from iowa and i literally cried when y’all were crying bc i am just so happy for y’all!!!

[@TheBeingReal]

Wow. How cool you guys got in where you wanted. You worked hard for years to get to this point. You earned it. Enjoy. More life experiences for you two to share. ❤️

[@joanxxo]

congrats guys! You deserved this so much! I'm a business grad but was still looking forward to this video and watched it from beginning to end - was so interesting to see the whole process

[@cutechloe123]

Tell me why I cried when you both started crying before opening your Iowa letters 🙃 will you be staying in your current apartment then?

[@tjs2000]

Best 50 mins of my day, this is awesome!!! So happy for you guys💛🖤

[@johannago1382]

This was SUCH a good video! I have never seen anyone document their whole application process the way you guys did. I love how you showed all sides of the process including the ups and downs. Most of all I love how authentic and honest you guys are. That is such a rare thing to see on the internet nowadays. Usually seeing people cry in youtube videos feels cringy to me because it often feels intentional or staged. But this video felt real and I cried right along with you. I am currently finishing my bachelor thesis and am going to be applying to universities to get my master's degree soon. These transitions are always stressful and I can imagine that having a twin go through exactly the same thing at the same time makes it even more overwhelming. Congratulations on getting into PT School and on making such a great video!

[@victoriaplourde2620]

Congratulations to you both! This video will be a great tool for people going through the PT school process and thank you for being so real in showing your emotions. Wish I had something like this when applying for OT school. Best of luck with the rest of undergrad and can’t wait to see your journeys in PT school!

[@iluvdance00]

wow, what a jam packed video. congratulations to both of you and thank you so much for sharing your journey with us! i've been following you guys since your seven gymnastics girls days and to see how far you've come is absolutely incredible. wishing you the best in this new chapter of your lives!

[@ArcusLibri]

Thanks for documenting the whole process and putting this video together, it was amazing to watch! I'm so glad you guys got your top choice, all that effort paid off!

[@Jordan-bg3qz]

I total understand the pause after reading the acceptance letter for both of you, you don’t want to celebrate without knowing you both got accepted! I am so freaking happy that you both got the good news, your guys hard work is paying off. Can’t wait for you future videos😊

[@lildancer280]

Congratulations!! I’m so excited for you both. You both work incredibly hard and deserve this entirely ❤️❤️ best of luck in the future

[@Claire-vi7eq]

I’ve come back to this video a few times over the past year because I’m currently in the admissions process. I got my first decision today which is a waitlist. Being able to watch you guys go through this process and the emotional rollercoaster that it is makes me feel so much less alone.

[@vanessa10to12]

I've been following you guys for years (all the way back to the beginning of TC2) and also just applied to graduate school! I'm starting PA school in the summer of 2020 and I could relate to the stress of opening the emails so much because I felt the same pressure. I am so happy everything worked out for you ladies! Your study videos are so motivating and I love watching.

[@katherineperez650]

omg i’m literally crying this was so emotional i’m so happy for you both!!! your hard work has paid off ❤️❤️

[@asens6241]

The genuine happiness for each other is so pure❤️ congrats girls!

[@gracerobertson3971]

I really loved this video! I loved how raw and real it was. At end I almost teared up😢

[@benjaminmacmichael217]

Loved it and loved how you girls showed emotion then just trying to edit that all out. You girls made me cry before your last offer

[@emily0071000]

Congratulations to you both!❤️ i also cried at the end, i feel like the connection you have as twins and the hard work and effort you both put into everything became very apparent in this video. I love your realistic down to earth vlogging style so please keep it up😊 from emily in scotland UK x

[@stephrocksxoxo18]

When megan looked to ciera before she reacted🥺

[@shelbysmith7725]

Congratulations Guys!!! I'm so proud of y'all! I'm actually watching this the night before my first ever day of college!!!!!!! I'm so excited and I'm so excited for y'all!! ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ ♡♡♡ GOD Bless❤❤❤

[@sierramcnulty6275]

Crying 😭 congrats to you both!! Thank you for showing the process so genuinely.

[@ptkake08]

This was an awesome video. I loved seeing your process and reactions! I'm sure the difficult parts were very raw to put in, but it definitely made the video better IMO! It was very 'real' and one can tell it's not scripted just for youtube, like a lot of stuff on the platform. Y'all are always so humble and kind. Congrats on getting your top choice!

[@allysonhollenbeck9089]

Thank you for sharing your journey! Not gonna lie, I cried with you while watching this video. I’m in the process of applying to dental school and am going through many of the same emotions! Many congrats for your Iowa acceptance!!! (:

[@hannaharielle423]

First and foremost, congrats to both of you! I had faith in both of you that you will get into a great school. You both work really hard and i know for sure you will do great in Univ of Iowa! I’m in grad school now and that was totally me in the video two years ago! I was so nervous to open up my email after i was waitlisted from my top choice school. Glad that process is over for you two! I’m really happy for you!!

[@jasminereddic1990]

Congrats on getting accepted to PT school! I am currently a 2nd year PT student and it is has been one of the hardest but absolutely best times of my life. I wish both of you the best of luck throughout PT school!!

[@savannahs681]

this made me so emo omg congratulations u both are so smart and deserve the best!! cant wait to see what the future holds for u both! 🥺💗

[@rachelkasashima4683]

Man I wish I had one of these videos when I was applying to OT school lol. I remember BALLING my eyes out last year waiting for the call from one of the schools I applied to since I heard that was the last day they were calling. and then BALLING MY EYES OUT EVEN MORE when I finally did get the call that I got in! Congrats on getting into PT school! It is an amazing accomplishment and a testimony to all of the hard work that you had to put in so far!

[@faithbossard8989]

You know they’re your favorite you tubers when you don’t skip through any of the video😁 I’m so happy for you guys💕

[@dreindenver798]

Congrats to both of you! Your hard work, determination, and sacrifice has paid off. You both deserve what you've earned.

[@thetwinnies5970]

So so happy for both of you! I feel like I’ve been on this whole journey with you from when you first started KZbin posting gymnastics videos , to when you first started uni up until now. Can’t wait to follow your life during PT school! Congratulations ❤️ also my sister and I are twins and we relate so much to the process of applying and getting in to university wanting each other to do well 🎉

[@chiquisek]

First of all, congratulations!! You totally deserve it! And second, I was totally NOT expecting to cry with this video, and here I am, crying so hard

[@rachelcartwright3371]

You weren't lucky you are both genuinely smart people and will grow and flourish in Iowa, it makes me so emotional to see all your dreams come true. WELL DONE!!

[@TheNb0601]

I have a twin brother, we both go to the same college and have majors in the same field. There are many times when we have a deep emotional connection around school or life, but I feel like I've never seen it with two other people before. When you guys opened your Iowa emails, I just broke down crying because it was just like with my brother and I. Y'all are awesome and you deserve this. Congrats 💛

[@faithcanosa227]

Congratulations on your top school! It was so raw and real, especially when seeing you both look at each other and say you got in. So proud of you both and happy you get to continue this next chapter together!

[@jaimebh30]

Congrats on completing the process and getting into your top school! I hope you have a great week! Yay for already knowing the town and school.

[@vbrown3035]

Omg the Iowa acceptance had my stomach in knots. I felt like I was sitting in the hallway with you both. I was tearing up and then bawled once you both opened and said you got in. I’m so happy for you both. You both work your asses off and my daughter an I have been watching since your freshmen yr. My daughter is a jr in high school and planning to go to college for the same thing, so your videos help a lot.

[@SaraStPeter]

Yay! Just finished the video, so happy you both got into your top pick! Best of luck

[@Wanda-ix1qs]

This was such an emotional roller coaster! I don't ever comment, but as I am mentally preparing myself to apply in the next PTCAS cycle I can not imagine how stressful this was for you both as twins! Best of luck to you both on your journey and thank you for sharing! I can't wait until we become DPTs, much love from Delaware!

[@chelseagray8729]

Congratulations!!! I found this video SOOOO relatable! I just committed to DMU after such a long and similar PT application rollercoaster. I really do wish there had been more PTCAS and application content on youtube when I started the process too. I think this video will be super helpful for next year's applicants! I can't wait for your future PT content! I'm considering starting a yt channel in July when my program starts :) Congrats again!

[@stephanierichardson2757]

I loved this video. PT school is not the path I've chosen but I could relate to this video! I am currently in a Master of Social Work program and you guys reminded me to be grateful that I have the opportunity to go to my amazing school. Once you're in grad school, it is so easy to forget how hard you worked to get there.

[@gabbyo7046]

I cried twice! but i really cried at the end finding out that you got in!!!!!!! 🤩😩 i’m so happy for you guys👏🏼👏🏼💗 thank you for sharing this process for us... 🥰

[@wendydiaz55]

Omg so happy for you guys!! Definitely deserve it, hard work pays off! Such beautiful sisters

[@tromo03]

You both would have loved Creighton University and living in Omaha.. That said, congrats to both of you for being accepted into your 1st choice- Iowa. It’s great to see the progress of 2 young and driven women go for their dreams and attain them. Carry on!

[@xocnlx3]

Congratulations girls!! You both work so hard in school, glad to see it’s paying off! This was such a cool process to watch. I cried right along with you guys 😂💜

[@juliecrosby7900]

[@Hollymnoles]

Oh my gosh!!! I’m so happy for y’all!! I love this for y’all. I’m so excited!!! 🤩🤩

[@louisedaly9703]

I’m not usually one to comment but I’m so proud of you two! I think a lot of people were crying when You found out where going, including myself! I had a similar experience this year as well with applying for medicine. The wait was definitely a long time but was worth it in the end when I got accepted :) you’ve both worked really hard to get to where you are today so make sure you remember that ❤️

[@Sarahr98998]

Congrats! I'm so happy for both of you! You have worked so hard for this, and you deserve it!!!!!

[@NatiBFM]

I’m so excited for you girls!!! I’ve been subscribed since your freshman year o college and I’m super happy that you got into your dream school. I’m starting the process of applying to a LLM program in Brazil and this video really inspired me and was so relatable! Congratssss ❤️❤️❤️

[@xGlitterMeUpxo]

I loved this! I applied to medical school this cycle so I can totally understand the waiting for decisions and the stress that comes with it. I just got my first acceptance but still waiting to hear from my top choice so your decisions gave me some hope to keep on waiting ugh. Congrats!

[@MarinetteShojo]

Congratulation to you two . You had me in tears . You deserve the best 😘

[@JesseAflleje]

So your video came up in YT and so I decided to watch it...I didn't look to see how long this video was but once I started I was into the process with you both. OMG I'm gonna tell everyone that it was allergies if they ask but I cried when you both were opening the Iowa decision. So happy for both of you. Thanks for sharing this with all of us and wish you both the best of luck.

[@rondoflicflac]

This is the third day watching this video and I finally finished it today... CONGRATS girls, I'm so incredibly proud of you (i even started crying when you did) this is not luck... this is hard work!!!

[@danaeufracio4480]

literally cried seeing y’all getting into Iowa!!! I’m in the application process for OT school so I know exactly how you guys feel! Congrats, so amazinggggg! 🎉

[@BirdSniffer343]

Eeeeeeee I am so happy for the both of you! You two are gonna do amazing at Iowa ❤

[@sydneytompkins5158]

So excited for you guys congratulations!!! We can’t wait to watch y’all go on this journey

[@nicolehernanndez]

Woohoooo congratulations Megan and Ciera!!!!! I’m so proud of both of you you deserve this ❤️❤️

[@erinrose1097]

Congratulations!!! I’m not familiar with the US schooling system, but this was so inspiring to watch. Most videos make these things seem so easy, and frankly that’s discouraging when I can’t manage without so much effort. I start my senior year of high school in four days, and I’m terrified of getting through an entire year and finding out my ATAR and UCAT aren’t good enough (I want to study medicine). I honestly have no idea what I’m going to do if I don’t get into premed, mainly because it’ll be so disheartening that so much effort just want enough, but it was kinda comforting to watch other people stress over a similar process. It’s particularly helpful since I go to a small school where only a small handful of students actually want to go to uni, let alone study STEM (there’s only two people in chemistry, extension maths and physics😂)

[@Amzo96]

My heart was racing when you opened your Iowa decisions!! I've got friends who go there and they go on about how it's an amazing school! 100% would be my choice if I was American (I'm Scottish)....congrats girls!!

[@joyiris8531]

This is my favorite video of yours ever!!! Thank you for sharing it with us and congrats! You both deserve it soo much!

[@mickallamoore3050]

Literally so happy for you guys. Very excited to see the rest of your journey ❤️

[@JasKent]

I’m from Australia and went through a very similar experience applying for masters. So I sobbed when you got in to your school! Thank you for sharing x

[@torreyanddannixo]

Congratulations I’m so happy for both of you!💜 I’ve been following you guys for awhile and can tell how much work you’ve put into this throughout the years. I’m planning on applying to PA school next year and since the application process is similar it was so inspiring to see your journey, got me a little emotional at the end too lol! You’re both gonna do great at Iowa!

[@Lydiamoose123]

I love your guys’s college videos so much please never stop!!

[@LuckyP067]

so happy for both of you! you guys deserved it!

[@monique6438]

Congratulations you two! You worked hard and it paid off. You should be so proud that you got in on the first try

[@emilyscott5253]

congratulations to both of you, how exciting! I cried at the end with you guys, I couldn't help it. Thanks for making such a real and raw view on this process, it makes me so nervous to apply to (hopefully) law school in the next 2 years or so! Congratulations again to both of you!

[@MeganandCiera]

Emily Scott thank you so much, good luck to you in the future

[@alittle8365]

Congrats both of u!!

[@ayshacaoili7546]

I love this!! It’s so raw & real! I gives light to what the application process to college is like, maybe even harder because you have a twin! Nevertheless, Congrats to you both!
