13 year old here, I’ve been struggling with a chronic illness for the past year. I’ve been wanting to get into Harvard since I was a kid, I’ve never felt more motivated in my life. Thank you.

I wish you the best with your life; but remember, motivation alone won’t take you to success

As an international student from Brazil, I'm quite confused about how schools assess academic rigor, especially considering the American standard of difficulty. I would appreciate it if someone could clarify this for me. I'm enrolled in a kind of technical course that includes some subjects typically seen in the early years of college. I'll list my high school subjects to give an idea of how rigorous my high school education might be for American colleges: Mandatory subjects repeated every semester: - Biology - Chemistry - Physics - Brazilian and World History - Sociology - Arts - Physical Education - Spanish - Portuguese - English - Mathematics - Geography Technical subjects: *Sophomore Year: - Electricity and Magnetism 1 - Technical Drawing - Dimensional Metrology - Occupational Safety - Professional Ethics *1st Semester Junior Year: - Electricity and Magnetism 2 - AutoCAD (Computer-Aided Design) - Machine Elements - Mechanical Processes - Linear Electronics - Technology and Resistance of Materials *2nd Semester Junior Year: - Mechanical Processes 2 - Electrical Systems and Machines - Electrical Installations for Buildings - Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems - Digital Electronics *1st Semester Senior Year: - Power Electronics - Machinery and Equipment Maintenance - Industrial Automation - Quality Maintenance Management - Electronic Welding I'm sorry for the lengthy comment, but I'm truly lost in this college admissions process.

I know that my comments come in late - but I see that your courses are rigourous enough. The only question now is how well you are faring in them - what kind of marks / grades you are getting. Also ensure that your SAT scores are high enough to confirm that your academic rigor is valid. Also, I am curious to find out where you eventually landed - what all those courses - and so if you get a chance - please let us all know. Thanks!!!

This video was exactly what I needed to hear, I really appreciate it. The fact that I’ve been crying every night underestimating my chances to get into an Ivy League as an international student, now I know that it’s not really about the perfect college application with the honours and excellent grades, but it’s more about the person itself that we forget to highlight. Now I go back to my early idea talking for a 16yo perspective, the passion for research and sharing knowledge and the constant discoveries we human make to find answers to our questions, will always shine in the dark night sky of the “excellent” grades wrote on some piece of paper. 😌😌 Halima Ait Bari all the way from Morocco sincerely

Well said! Exactly - that passion is ultimately the secret sauce that will get you far

The 3rd concept really underscores how screwed up admissions into the top universities is: The rich probably spend a ton of money on consultants early on in their lives (before high school) to hold their hands to help guide them on how to craft the perfect 'story'. Strict objective merit (i.e. standardized tests) are really the only fair criteria for admissions. Great video though.

currently a junior and i'm not expecting to get into any top schools, however i really like your first point. college is just a small part of someones life and isn't the final determining factor, your direction/goal is more important. i believe that i can get to where i want without going to a top school (for right now i just want to be financially stable, have a job i enjoy, have enough money to buy some things i want, travel and just enjoy life honestly.) of course depending on the field it will be harder, and top colleges do indeed give better resources and networking. but the school is not what makes someone successful nesscessarily, as it largely depends on the student. i currently still don't really know what i want to do with my life, but i want to study something in stem like cs or kinda related to stem like economics. both are pretty flexible majors. i will keep working on myself and do my best with the opportunities that i have access to.

People also need to understand half of the time your job cares about your experiences more than your school. I work at a big company off of a community college degree and A LOT of volunteer experience and skills

Ideas shared are true for people in developed countries.... For Developing and underdeveloped countries people are very much absorbed into making livlihood. They wont care about the society, cleanliness, campaigns of a high schooler..... its a different world.
