You're too sweet thank you

[@samanthainez2596]

Oh my god I just wanted to comment to tell you how much I loved your middle name essay. It gave me chills honestly- if I were an admissions officer, that essay alone would've won me over. Congratulations on Stanford! They're so lucky to have you.

[@ohnoirpodcast]

Thank you so much !

This shows that you don’t need to have to highest greats or test scores. Just have passion and you will succeed ♥️😌

[@serenaxrose]

I am a 25 year old PhD student, and these are phenomenal. Holy shit. No wonder you were accepted! The first one blew me away!

[@ohnoirpodcast]

Thank you!

[@nishatnayla2068]

These were SO good!! Stanford got a good one 🥺

[@ohnoirpodcast]

Thank you so much!

[@iamrandomness6460]

Ok why was this so helpful? A lot of these types of videos are just people making fun of their essays (which are still quite entertaining) but this was genuinely so helpful.

[@chelseafuentes5856]

Imagine getting your essay in that book.

[@ohnoirpodcast]

I hope no one would LOL thats plagiarism that would be too easy to catch 😩

[@diyaraodrona4281]

@@ohnoirpodcast I think she means "imagine writing such a good essay it ends up in a book like that," but idk!

[@cahner9086]

I loved your essays !! especially the one about your middle name :)

[@ohnoirpodcast]

I'm just in grade - 9. This video gave me an idea of college application essays and also I learned so many vocabulary words because my level of English is very low. 😄 Many many wishes and love from Bangladesh 💞

[@faithyn]

Omg... my sister was diagnosed with MS at 26 (she is now 28). Also, your essay was beautiful!

[@ohnoirpodcast]

Ahh I'm sorry to hear that I know it can be so hard! I wish you both the best! Thank you so much I appreciate that

[@samirasilva7013]

Congratulations for the essay! Amazing writing! Despite the essays I got curious about the sheet music on the background and was wondering what kind of instrument do you play?

[@ohnoirpodcast]

Thank you! I play piano :D

Me reading the name after the essay to her roomate: DIVERGENT, TRIS, OH MY GOD WOW I LOVE HER NAME EVEN MORE

[@ohnoirpodcast]

Thank you haha

[@yvonnetran1160]

for the short essays, would you recommend that they relate to your desired major? or can it just, for example, be any situation that exited you to learn?

[@ohnoirpodcast]

I think for the short essays you should really stick with something you genuinely feel excited to write about, whether that be your intended major or an extracurricular or a passion of yours :D Don't make it to hard on yourself and write about something that comes naturally!

[@davinathompson3]

Born a crime and Children of Blood and Bone is so good ahh

[@ohnoirpodcast]

YES!!

[@gianinayao321]

Omggg I love your voice its so cute and soothing :)

[@joyce-dh6tu]

Hi! How do I defy the Asian stereotype, standing out to Stanford, even though I fit the stereotype almost perfectly :/

[@ohnoirpodcast]

I think there isn't exactly a particular "Asian" stereotype (unless maybe you're referring to the model minority concept?), but in general there are a lot of applicants that are similar (in terms of grades, stats, ECs, etc). I'm going to make a video about how to stand out soon :D

[@trishchettypally4240]

OMG is that warcross? I absolutely love Marie Lu.

[@jinwoopark2867]

Can you make a video on how u started your nonprofit please? :)

[@ohnoirpodcast]

Yes, a video on that is coming soon :D

I’m so confused because I was told not to talk about academic achievements in my common app essay?

Hey Tristyn, I want to ask you a question that is it ok to exceed the word limit of 650 in common app to like 700 words

[@cici79]

There is a set number of words that you can paste into the text box then you can format it, then send it …… so, no, you can not go over the limit.

[@thelma1604]

How was it?

[@eringarcia9007]

What is the difference between early action and regular decision ?

[@ohnoirpodcast]

Early restrictive action means that you're applying to Stanford only early, not any other private schools early (by nov 1st), and regular is later on, its a larger applicant pool

[@vanityrouge3854]

FAZIO's QUAKING 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@melanyh6407]

Hi! Great video, thanks for sharing plus the tips! Just wondering, did you apply to Stanford early action or regular decision?

[@ohnoirpodcast]

I applied Early Restrictive Action :D

[@ajabainemusic]

I am currently an international student from Uganda and wanted to apply to stanford for aerospace engineering. Is it possible for me to stand out?

[@ohnoirpodcast]

Definitely! Essays are a big part of telling your story and showing admissions officers what makes you stand out!

[@ajabainemusic]

Thanks Thomas be blessed

[@octopi8152]

Anyone else feel like these essays are really bad lol? Her common app talks about ACADEMICS (overdone), her intellectual vitality essay talks about RESEARCH (overdone). Starting to think this is more a case of affirmative action than anything else.

[@andrewmiller4149]

Well what would you write about

[@user-vu9mk1sx7u]

Your essay was lowkey bad. It was just about academic stuff which you’ll talk about in the rest of your application anyways. It had no flow or narrative

[@octopi8152]

I know right

[@Amanda-kx1kg]

Did you get into stanford? :)

[@AfnanZzz]

good but superrr boring essay
