The last one made me cry. Not because of the girls, but because of the teacher. It must be a great feeling to teach a human being and then see them succeeding.

[@sydneyking9755]

The reason they were all so excited is because UPENN only has a 9.4% acceptance rate

[@gabrielbessa2575]

thought it was because Upenn is one of best places to study in the universe. LOL :))

[@Nole2701]

acceptance rate count for all people who apply. That includes those who applied with little to no chance of getting accepted. Those people applied just for fun probably with the "maybe ill get in lol xD" mindset. Similar for universities like Seoul National University with it's 0.5% acceptance rate. It's not that top top top of the world, but it's just that everyone applies to it. Which is why it's so selective. I'm not sure how it is for Penn but this is my view on the acceptance rate.

[@nternetrat]

wow that's awesome!

[@fruitoson4227]

Yea bro it’s an ivy

[@dlynn101]

@@Nole2701 Every college has an acceptance rate and every one of them is based on the same thing. This number is very low relative to most other colleges.

[@owenwu7995]

my parents would be crying because they have to pay for upenn.

[@CarrotKrave]

Owen Wu mine would be happy because their asses are not the ones paying for it lmao

[@AllxChannel]

It has need based as I recall

[@kseniaanna7217]

I love this comment

[@adamselwyn5979]

Penn is need based. If paying for it is an issue you most likely qualify for financial aid

[@user-xv1hf2bx4n]

Catherine Kennedy HAHAHAHAH

[@logancasto5995]

This is great. My sister recently just got accepted into UPenn as well

[@JjGabrielPianist]

Convey my wishes to her !!!

[@mo2wheelz74]

Omg congratulations to her

[@YM-vn2ts]

Hard work always pays off

[@davidmedina1492]

i think the reason why i get kinda emotional watching these videos is because it's the reward and result of all the hard work and dedication they put throughout all these years to get into an Ivy school/college. Good job!! inspirational forsure

[@CloudCharlie]

This is so heartwarming to see--the kids with their parents supporting them and being proud of their accomplishment. Penn is a beautiful campus, with so much to do and so many brilliant minds. Certainly not a cheap school, but it shows in where the funds are allocated. If this were me, I'd find a way to go. While many automatically write off college as too expensive--there are many scholarships (merit-based or need-based)--from the school, or from philanthropic foundations. I believe that if your desire to go is strong enough, you will search until you exhaust all the scholarships/grants you can find. It saddens me how uninformed some students and their families are. No matter the socioeconomic background, I commend these Quakers for their work and wish them the best.

[@arib8211]

1:29 'YEAHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHH!!!!!' aha what was that

[@mayaholt4574]

I'm watching this literally crying depressed preparing to get rejected from my dream school

[@kathyming6380]

holy same

[@mirzajbaig308]

Please don't worry or stress about it. The worst thing that can happen is they will say no. Trust me, I've been through the process too, and everything will work out in the end. But all the very best of luck to you!

[@gwen.dolyn.22]

I feel you :( Gosh the results are coming in 3 days :(

[@mayaholt4574]

Kate Do me too! What school?

[@gwen.dolyn.22]

Maya Holt CAS! What about you?

[@lurobledo174]

I feel so proud of these people and I don't even know them! Haha so heartwarming.

[@zurirobinson2749]

I really need to study for my AP Test tomorrow so I can be in the Class of 2022 Acceptance Reactions video :)

[@nameunavailable5811]

Zuri Robinson how did you prepare?

[@jman1234533]

My favorite was @1:24. High fives from everyone.

[@JackKapanka]

This is awesome! So honored that our daughter is in this video and much more importantly, in this class.

[@amyliu3022]

1:26 was my favorite thing ever

[@DeLeon7367]

If that was me I'd get hyped asf and not cry/break down

[@VanessaAttah]

I'd cry lmao

[@jennifercastillo1168]

I hope this will be me in the future. I aspire to be accepted into Harvard or an Ivy League school .

[@thinkvibrant5721]

Upenn is my dream school, I doubt I’ll get in though not because I doubt myself, I just didn’t seriously start thinking about college til junior year and by that time I hadn’t taken the rigor courses that I should have and would’ve done well in. For anyone reading and still in HS take the classes you want to and believe that you’ll do well in, experience other classes that interest you but don’t waste too much time on the classes you don’t see being your future career!

[@andersonfamily]

no I am not crying.... nope not me congrats to everyone

[@Cupidssatan]

When I got into uni I literally cried for over an hour. Now at uni I still can't believe I'm at uni 😂😭❤️

[@kardemomme3828]

1:35 is how every soccer dad holds their phone

[@TheChristopherBlake1]

Anthony was beyond awesome! Congrats 🎉 to all !!!!!!

[@mirrorballtbh]

1:27 made me really happy 😂

[@antonias7637]

I absolutely love the moms' reactions!

[@metouxiv1962]

I’m the dad “yeahhhhhh”😂😂😂

[@KATE-ob6zk]

UPenn is my dream school... so... just praying I’ll get into class of 2027! ✌️

[@amesbish]

It's so interesting seeing Americans get so crazy and scream etc about being accepted! (Not judging, it's awesome that everyone gets so happy) Because here in New Zealand, being accepted to college (which we call university) is such a normal thing and we usually just react like "cool! I'm in!" Hahah like it's not that big a deal! Everyone seems to get accepted here, so it's so nice to see people in other parts of the world appreciate how big a deal it is to actually go to college!

[@sallyjohnson9832]

Amy B These colleges that you see the videos for are some of the hardest universities to get into (like 3% acceptance rate) so that is why people are getting so excited about it :D

[@amesbish]

ahh i see! thanks :)

[@reallytooy3187]

America has the best universities in the world, so for someone to get accepted into the ivy league schools (harvard, yale, dartmouth, brown, cornell, upenn, princeton, Columbia) is a huge deal. These schools have acceptance rates as low as 5.2%. To get in is quite the accomplishment. Plus with all the immigrants here some will be the first of their family to go to college, some are living below the poverty line, etc.

[@Katharina14031982]

It has SOME of the best universities of the world. There are other countries that have great colleges.

[@amesbish]

true! the uni I go to in NZ is in the top 20 I believe x

[@knsmith8855]

Congradulations to everyone who got accepted

[@rusticblooms1511]

[@cher_cherry46]
