Hey guys! Just to clarify, my GPA and AP exam scores mentioned in the video were from 9th through 11th grade. My overall GPA including 12th grade was a 3.92 unweighted GPA / 4.22 weighted GPA. And I took 3 AP exams senior year: AP Psychology (5), AP Statistics (5), and AP Environmental Science (4). P.S: if any of you are applying to college soon, I’m wishing you guys the best! : D

Not to be rude or anything but the video was kinda boring, it was just a monotone reading of schools and accepted or rejected list. These are videos for a reason, emotion, insight, reactions. If you just wanted a straightforward list tyen you can read an article or something haha
@arcisvar48634 жыл бұрын
@Brennen Nesser Have you not seen any of reaction videos? You don't need to yell and scream to have a good video or something just some.....personality. I think its also because he didnt really react to the decisions....he just let us know in one long list. I don't mean to hate on Shiv or anything, his videos are funny and great but this was just a lame reading thats all. But again I think its bc its not a reactions to college so I came to expecting something different.

I ended getting into one of my dream schools: The College of Engineering at UC Berkeley to study Energy Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. I ended up getting into the SEED Scholars Honors Program, got a full ride, and a 40k research stipend. With some extra money I've been saving up and being an Elevate Scholar and the Francina Hester Scholar for my school, I am really looking forward to what comes next. I just want to say thank you for humor, relatability, and insightful videos throughout this part of my journey. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors! I'll post my stats if anyone is curious. Disclaimer: My curriculum is on a 4.0 UW Scale and a 5.0 weighted. I went to a project based learning charter school in the High Tech High family. No IB or AP courses are offered. We follow the A-G curriculum and offer UC approved honors courses in 11th and 12th grade. If your curriculum is not as similar to mine, my stats may not be the best indicator to your success. UW GPA: 3.87 W GPA: 4.3 UC GPA. 4.3 SAT/ACT: N/A (These are only my academic stats. I won't have enough room for extra curriculars)

Coming from California I cannot believe how much of an advantage I had in decisions from UCs -especially when compared to the kids I'm hearing weren't accepted from other states. Really surprised that UCI would turn away a kid with your profile -when I was applying it was definitely considered a safety school. I'm also surprised by the amount of kids who applied to Rice -that's my alma mater and my friend and former roommate is one of the Admissions Directors there now. Crazy how competitive it seems now. Best of luck at USC -definitely a great option.

I guess not because 2 of these qualities are not independent and SAT scores are bound to line up since it is just a test with a small window of viable scores for college acceptances. Still makes me feel like it’s a small world and confirms that I’m not trash so I love it.

You can study with friends, sometimes that helps. No need to seclude : )

I applied only to 2 "safety schools" with average accepted student GPAs about 0.8 lower than my GPA. Got a thicc scholarship offer for both, got my results in November, and didn't have to pay to apply. A lot of people were shocked that I went to a local private Christian college when I have stats that line up with a lot of Ivy applicants, but you gotta do you, boo. Watching this video was a fun what-if of what it could of looked like for me to do what was expected and apply to all the big boy universities out there. Congratulations dude!

I have been taking tests and grading them, and my highest score is still a 1250, I do not think I am improving. Sometimes I just feel like crying
@ShivVZG5 жыл бұрын
Are you a junior or senior? Also what is your score breakdown for each section? Reading may take a couple weeks to hit 700+ assuming that you’re in the high 500’s or low 600’s right now. It can definitely be stressful but you WILL 100% improve in reading. You have to be confident (not overly so) when it comes to the SAT. It will help you. And for grammar, buy a prep book like college panda. For math, grind through a TON of practice problems and use stuff like khan academy and Uworld.

Most flexible guy I’ve ever scene. I need to be like you. Just a ‘ damn care ‘ vibe. I love that. And he just take everything normally like he’s prepared for everything even I think if he listens that the earth is going to be destroyed within 2 minutes he will say, ‘ it’s okay’. I love this cool minded guy!!

Hey congrats for your acceptances! I liked how chill you were throughout. One question though, did you happen to do any extracurriculars? Just curious!
