REALISTIC College Decision Reaction 2019!! My College Application Process (my SAT, GPA & AP stats)

[@suhbremegunner5256]

Congratulations, I'm a junior in high school and I really appreciate you posting this for normal people that aren't ivy bound. I dont see many videos like this.

[@assonance9057]

SuhBREme Gunner seriously thank you. I have a 1270 sat and a 3.8 GPA. I legit just want to go to a CUNY so it helps a lot to see other people going through similar situations

@Tre C wow good job, my grades were bad and i’m not poor enough to get money scholarships so idk what i’ll do

[@jess9116]

it’s really nice to see what is considered “normal” high school stats. my gpa and act score always made me feel dumb compared to my peers but at the end of the day, a degree is a degree. i’m very happy with where i’m at now and that’s all that matters! i hope u have a great college experience as well!! ❤️

Thank GOD an average stat college decisions reaction. So appreciated, thank you!!!! I don’t feel so bad anymore

[@jilliansasso1550]

This video made me feel a lot more comfortable about my own college applications. I already applied to 4 schools with early action. My “stats” are actually pretty good, but I’m still nervous about admissions decisions. So thank you for easing some of my nerves 😁

[@kristinsvideodiary1629]

Thank you for including the word “realistic” in your title cuz I’m scrolling past all the people who were bragging about getting into their IVYs lol

[@Randy-us1uf]

I relate to you so much. I’ve been called smart or intelligent lots of time but my test scores don’t really make me feel smart. And I got a 2 on the Ap lang test and Apush test. Ive been accepted to good universities though and I really think I can build on what I know and learn new things and grow and be successful in college.

[@SincerelyAysia]

Randy Anim Hi I totally understand what you mean, my test scores haven’t reflected my actual potential. If you don’t mind me asking what was your final gpa? And what schools did you get accepted into?

[@Randy-us1uf]

Aysia Alexandra I’m still in high school so I don’t have a final gpa yet but I’ve had a 3.7 until junior year which it dropped to 3.43 then to 3.34. I’m getting my gpa up this year though so it should be 3.5 or 3.6 by the end of the year. And the schools I’ve applied to are mostly in Oklahoma. I got accepted to: Oral Roberts University, Oklahoma Baptist University, Oklahoma State University, and University of Central Oklahoma and I’ve been waitlisted to my dream school, University of Oklahoma. My parents didn’t really want me going out of state and money is kinda tight but I can do graduate school out of state.

[@andreac6594]

this helped me out so much. my dream school is vtech and seeing a good student who worked hard and did well get in without having to get a 1600 sat score and 7.8 gpa made me so so relieved. thank you so much! i hope to see you at vtech next year :’)

[@jillianblumberg7207]

Congrats on Virginia Tech! I used to live in Virginia right outside of DC and know so many friends/former classmates who went to all three of the schools you got accepted to. I know VA Tech is a great school and wish you all of the best there!

[@aimy.22]

I just found you and I am obsessed❤️. Thank you so much for sharing your student experience and your grades which are the most normal thing I have ever seen. I have always struggled to achieve high grades as I have had been dealing with extreme tough life, losing my parents and all..... Whenever I searched for people on youtube to get motivation I would only see the ones applying to the ivy league and them telling about their oh so fabulous A*s in literally everything. Watching that just made me put more pressure on me which I shouldn’t. As I grew I learnt that all of this unnecessary pressure won’t make happy but just more stressed as I just can’t do good on standardized tests. Your videos are so realistic and normal. I love you ❤️❤️❤️

OMG FINALLY SOMEONE WHO HAS TAKEN AP HUMAN GEOGRAPHY! I took it this year and basically every person I’ve looked at on KZbin hasn’t taken the class! The results for our test are coming out in July and I am so scared!

[@meganpitts]

so in highschool i had a 3.698 gpa throughout it but for ap i took ap calc, ap bio and ap gov which i made a 2 on and apush i made a 4 on (which was awesome bc i got 6 college credits) and in my state i took the ACT which i made a 23 on (test taking is not my strong suit) I applied to 4 schools (3 universities and 1 community college) for anyone going into college or applying do not be afraid to go to a community college. while i did get scholarship money from my gpa and act scores me going to a community college has allowed me get more money when transferring to a 4 year than when i applied as a freshman. the community college has allowed me to make good grades and transfer with a good academic standing and has allowed me to save money as well! while the college i’m transferring to is about the same distance as my community college and ill still be leaving at home i still think it was a smart decision for me. also if you have the options to take summer college classes in between school years or dual enrollment i highly suggest bc ik some people who walked into college only having to take a few basics before their classes for their major. so just don’t be afraid to stay behind and do the cheaper version just bc your friends are going off other places. anyone sorry for the long comment just thought i could help someone out! btw my major is speech language pathology with a minor in deaf studies if anyone was curious and i’m currently a sophomore with one more semester at my community college!

also sorry if i misspelled something bc ik i did a few times😅

[@xxbeautygruxx]

I'm going to Radford too!! im excited

[@EricaBartell]

JMU was my top choice too, and I got in but not into their musical theatre/theatre program. If I had gotten into the School of Theatre and Dance, my parents would’ve 100% supported me going, but instead I’m going to GMU which is 40 minutes away from home to study Marketing (theatre wasn’t the move). But if I don’t like GMU it’ll transfer to JMU, or just go there for my masters. JMU was hard on people this year because if their SAT score was less than 1120 they either got rejected or waitlisted, I know like five people who got waitlisted because of their SAT score.

I also applied to JMU and VCU. JMU was my top choice and I got in, but I didn’t get into their Musical Theatre/Theatre program. And I got into VCU for marketing, I didn’t visit as it wasn’t my top choice and I’ll admit I applied to VCU because everyone else was. But I’m going to GMU which is 40 minutes away from home to study Marketing, as it was my most affordable option and I realized there are more opportunities in Fairfax than Harrisonburg.
