Rejected From My Dream School: John Green Solves Your Problems #88

[@viveladecadence]

10:36 John's sudden switches from **tells something profound, genuine and earnest** to 'Oh my god, I scored a magnificent goal, I am a genius! That was one of the greatest accomplishments in human history, I don't like to brag, but not since running water has a human innovation changed everything the way that the 4-3-3-false-9 has changed everything for the AFC Wimbly Womblys!' are my favourite!

🎶 He’s big! He’s brash! He stole his husband’s ‘stache! Other John Green! Other John Green! 🎶

[@elh93]

I got rejected from my "dream school(s)" twice, once for undergrad and once for my masters, and odds are won't get in to one for a PhD eventually. But each time it seems that where I went was the right choice.

[@jyothsnap3138]

this is my fav john green solves problems because it is perfectly timed for my life, profoundly relatable and an all around entertaining game

[@thebugbear]

You don't know what it'll be like at your dream school. I got into my dream program and hated it so much I completely changed what I was studying. Now I love studying something I didn't even know existed at a school I never would considered at all.

[@twistysunshine]

I got stopped up by PTSD depression and anxiety right after high school, and in spite of getting into the college i wanted, i didn't go. I was too sick. I was the only one of all of my friends in my town. Then one of my friends, who I wasn't super close with, was also struggling with depression after the death of the loved one. And he ended up dropping out of college, and moving back to my town. When he did, we realized how much we had in common. We became super close, and fell in love. We live together, and have every plan of doing so for the rest of our lives. I'm not saying "everything happens for a reason" I'm saying that without me being very sick, I would never have fallen in love. I'm saying that there are thousands of choices that have to happen from you and other people to put you here. And this sad thing will factor into your future. And that doesn't mean it's a bad thing. Sometimes it's a sad thing that grows something beautiful.

Honestly, more people should go to community college. You get all your gen eds out of the way, and you get two years of figuring out how to college/if you like your major before having to spend excessive amounts of money on it (you also get a second chance at a better GPA and 4 year schools won't look at HS or SATs if you get your associates) and the probability of getting rejected is practically non-existent. it was honestly one of the best decisions I've ever made. I would not have survived 4 year school otherwise. I was not a good student in high school. Apparently undiagnosed ADD makes it very hard to succeed. 😂😂

[@stuiesmb]

WenzelSays I’m curious - how do community college courses look on your transcript later down the line? I imagine if you apply for a professional degree it might be a detriment.

[@WenzelSays]

@@stuiesmb I got into an internationally accredited program so I think I'm doing alright. My associates degree and community college deans list looks way better than someone's shitty SAT score and poor GPA. Plus I can get a better job with it while I'm doing my last 2 years than someone with just a high school diploma.

[@eduardojijon8224]

These videos always make me happy

🎶 Bald John Green, John Green! When he scores we have a bash! But where is his sweet mustache?! Bald John Green, John Green! 🎶

[@michaelfortanely5715]

Your major matters way more in determining your future earnings than where you go to school. Read "Where you go isn't who you'll be"

[@szeth14]

What a coincidence! I too, feel something deep and powerful about John Green ;)

[@operationaltruth]

"I would just encourage you to try to be hopeful about the future. I mean, in everything, we are all constantly having to--I mean this is part of adulthood, that you're constantly having to remake yourself and redefine your definition of what "good" looks like. Like for me, one example of this [EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL AND NOTHING HURTS ETC] I had this ear infection, weird ear thing, three years ago. And as a result of that, I'm gonna have some vertigo for the rest of my life. And I've gotta deal with that in the best way I can. And there's always things like that. You make it work. You go on. You find a way. And I know that you will." I'm dealing with a weird thing like this right now, unrelated to college admissions, and this was oddly helpful. Everyone has weird things that make their life a little bit harder. But you make it work and you go on.

Thank you kind sir for the entertaining content.

It's early in the morning here and my reaction to that intro was, "oh no, he's made of 𝓟𝓵𝓪𝓼𝓽𝓲𝓬"

[@ellen7930]

Dang John this was well timed. I just got my rejection letter from the last grad school I applied too this year. Feeling kinda lost. Is it bad I'm glad I'm not alone in this feeling right now? Cause having to feel happy for my friends as they all get in and being left behind just. Its not a great feeling.

[@vocativecase]

Ellen it may sound trite but try reframing: you aren’t left behind. You are just the first to explore a brand new, different path. I say this as someone who’s been there; no grad school for me, but now I work in completely unrelated field and have gotten to learn so many new things. (Also, all my coworkers have been involuntarily educated in Linguistics, so win-win.)

[@tao5231]

Roffo made some great saves today.

[@secretaltruism4174]

To me, University, or college, is what you make of it. I've seen people go to a top 3 University here in Australia and get very little out of it. And others find that a top 20 University is amazing for its smaller campus and flexibility and the less focus academic rigour and more on other experiences. At almost every good University, you can find great people, friends, libraries, academics, and classes.

[@sally40001able]

Wow the timing on this one. I'm watching this as I sit beside the unopened letter that determines if I get into my dream school. I'd like to think I'll be ok with rejection, but who knows.

[@carissa-7]

Best of luck with everything- regardless of what that letter said. There are so many exciting things in your future.

[@pancreasnostalgia]

The prestige of a university doesn't matter that much. The most important thing is that the school is accredited for whatever you are studying. If you don't know what major you want to do, community college is great for getting gen ed and exploring subject areas. Public universities are great because they have so many major options. I went to a private university that wasn't very expensive because I knew what major I was going to have. Plus private schools offer a lot of scholarships.

[@emeebee3827]

I applied to a grad program at an amazing university where (1) I had done research the previous summer, and thus had several connections of my own (2) my advisor did his undergrad work, and thus I had several connections of HIS - and I still didn't get in. It was a tough pill to swallow, but I DID get into another program, sort of a surprise option at the time, and now I've finished my Master's there and have been working in the associated research institute for going on two years. I've made good friends, I play a metric fr*ckton of university intramural sports with grad students from the department, I've found friends outside the department as well, through city league sports, I can afford to live on my own in a nice little apartment... it all turned out okay, in the end.

[@dashmanfire3305]

I know it has been 3 years but this gave me some reassurance, I am very nervous about post-secondary but saying it turned out okay helped ease my nerves.

I bet Meredith secretly turned down the difficulty.

I hope this isn't a sign. I hope this isn't foreshadowing. I hope hope hope this isn't a sign or foreshadowing.

John I don't like it when you solve problems as much as when you go on rambles about a topic.
