I love how honest she is when I watch these types of videos I get discouraged and feel like I have no chance because every video is like oh my extracurriculars were that I found a cure to cancer and a 1590 SAT and 4.3 UW GPA

[@numieee]

Aww I'm glad this video was encouraging! I felt like that too when I was a freshman! You got this! 💪

[@cleverkeily776]

Ur extracurriculars are amazing!!

[@nabi5864]

Congrats on UPenn!! Yay! I think you should at least go for PA (Physician's Assistant), transfer to Duke after your general studies ...My older sister originally was at UCLA for her nursing program , but then decided to switch to PA upon the urging of one of her Professor...She actually got a LOR from that Professor and transferred to Duke last year. You can do it!🙂

[@numieee]

Aww thank you for the congratulations and thank you for your kind suggestion! I actually have considered becoming PA, but I decided I want to become a nurse practitioner because I enjoy interacting more with the patient and providing more patient-focused care. I appreciate it though! Your sister seems amazing! :)

[@anisha2608]

this is one of the most helpful videos I've seen! also ur super pretty

[@stasisvfx2534]

yeah it’s actually refreshing and nice to see except she took like 50 APs which is super scary

[@sophiaarias9341]

@@stasisvfx2534 Compared to most other videos from Ivy League students, her ECs are not crazy or inaccessible. Sometimes it’s tiring to hear from people who started their own nonprofit organizations or won crazy awards or had these huge passion projects, because those kinds of ECs are so inaccessible to most people. But her ECs seem normal and realistic for most to achieve. Of course, she had great grades. But these days, most people will tell you that’s not enough to get accepted so it’s comforting to know that she was.

[@numieee]

@@sophiaarias9341 Aww this is the most thoughtful and heartwarming comment I've ever read! I'm glad you found my video comforting! I completely agree with you! I'm definitely not the most intelligent or quick-witted student. Reading this comment just made me feel so happy! I hope this helps others too!

[@the_real_andresjorgeortiz]

Hi Numie! I really enjoyed watching your video! You have very great content! It is very helpful to me! I have a younger sister is studying to be a nurse as well as my bio uncle and my bio grandma. I do not know them very well, but I still talk to them on social distance. I am graduating with my AA degree in Liberal Arts from a 2-year college. I am 25 years old. I have been studying at a 2-year college for 7 years. I graduated from high school in the spring of 2016. I was a top 10% of my graduation class. My cumulative grade point average was a 3.7 out of 4.0 scale. Back in high school, I have joined the Teen Center and Spanish club. Also, I was a member of Boys and Girls club back in my few semesters of middle school. I was half of 7th grade and full of 8th grade there. I did Boys and Girls Club in 9th grade as well! In 10th grade, I was in Spanish club. In 11th grade, I was volunteered as an office assistant at the main office. In college, I worked as administrative assistant with my dad as a shadow job. He is technically my stepdad, but I always call him dad because I grew up with him. My dream career is to be an actor and journalist. After I complete with my AA degree in Liberal Arts, I will train for acting in the studio. Then, I will work on my BA degree in Broadcast Journalism at a 4-year college while I will be doing an internship. My dream career was always to be an actor at a young age, but I did not had the time for it because I had to move from state to state due to my dad’s job in the military service. That is the one technically my stepdad. I see him as my dad because he is the one who raised me as a child. I am writing my own book which is called my life throughout with autism and being a military child. I have worked on it after COVID got hit, which is going to be 3 years in May. Then, I redid it for 2 years, which is going to be in July. Once I get my ceremony posted in my first book, I will get that published sometime in May or June. For right now, I am working on my second book. It is the same content but different chapters. Once I complete with my BA degree in Broadcast Journalism or Communications from a 4-year college, I will be getting my second book published as well! I will get announced both of my books in KZbin. Again, you did a great job with your video! You have great content! You have a bright future ahead of you! Wish you are the best of luck with everything you do! You did a great job with your academics and your extracurriculars. Including your internships from high school. My overall grade point average is a 3.1 out of 4.0 scale. I was in the Dean’s List three times in a row. I have joined the math club first. I have joined the Volunteers, Business Club, and Hispanic club. I used to be good with math and science back in high school. For right now, I am good with reading and history since I am going to be an actor and journalist in the future. Acting and journalism are part of who I am. Again, wish you are the best of luck at everything you do! Good luck with college no matter wherever you go. Good luck with nursing program as well! I was born in the city of Buffalo in New York. I lived there in my early childhood until age 5. I have been to school for 22 years. I was diagnosed with autism at age 3. It was before I went to preschool. I grew up with my Spanish speaking family who are from Colombia and Puerto Rico. I speak English and Spanish. My name is Andres, by the way. It is pleasure to meet you! God bless you and your family. 🙏❤️

[@numieee]

Hello Andres! Thank you so much! I'm so glad my video was helpful. Good luck in your journey too! I hope you achieve your dream of becoming an actor and journalist. ♡

Definition of grade inflation. In our school you would get 5s to get A, 4s will be B or C.

[@kandyce7]

Congrats on your achievement! I was wondering if your school offered the full-IB diploma or just a few IB classes? I'm determining whether or not to go the full-IB route or do partial IB with some AP classes (similar to the classes and route that you took.) Do you mind offering some advice in terms of how the experience was for you?

[@numieee]

Thank you! My school offers a full-IB diploma program (both IBMYP and IBDP). I am currently finishing the IBDP program for the IB Diploma. I think the full-IB route is challenging with many extra projects and assignments you need to complete. For example, throughout the year, you have to complete Internal Assessments (IA) for each IB Class (HL and SL). These consist of essays, orals, and presentations. You also have the Group 4 Project if you are taking an HL or SL Science Class (IB Physics, Environmental Science, Biology), where you present a solution to a real-world issue. In addition, you have to complete CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) hours, which are basically hours you complete outside of school. Then, at the end of the year, you have your IB exams in addition to any AP exams you are taking. This might sound very intimidating (especially if you are still a freshman, sophomore, or junior). However, personally, I think that the IB classes I took during my freshmen, sophomore, and junior years prepared me well for all those projects. You learn time management, organization, and teamwork which are skills that will aid you in your later years. Overall, I think that the full-IB program is a very valuable experience and I grew a lot as a person. It is very hard and challenging, but I think it is overall, also very rewarding. You gain skills and experience that will stick with you for the rest of your life. Sorry if this was long! I hope this helps you! If you want, I could maybe make a full video about IB and my experience in the program. Let me know if you would want something like that! ♡

Your school grades are almost perfect. I can see that you have been working very hard, but your AP and SAT test scores are quite low, they do not match your school GPA. I knew several kids with >1580 SAT, over 15 AP tests (all 5) , and lot of community service hours could not make to Uppen. It will be very interesting to see how you will do in 5, 10 years. My best wishes for you!

[@Soulforgoidf86]

oh wow noice u took a ton of advanced placement classes throughout your high school years. idk if i will be able to get into the Ivy League cause i never took any ap classes and i am going to 12th grade once summer vacation ends

Hi! Congrats! I was wondering if you could list your awards if possible. Thanks

Thank you! Some of the awards I have won are the AP Scholar with Distinction award, the IB MYP completion award, the Riverside County Science and Engineering Fair first place award, and the California State Science and Engineering Fair fourth place award.

[@kish382]

Amazing stats video😄! I was just wondering how many classes does your school allow you to take? Like can you have 8 classes in the school day or is there a limit to how many you can take??

[@numieee]

Hi! Thanks so much :) For my school, if you take a zero-period class (I did PE), you can take an extra elective class. So, I have 7 classes with a zero-period class and 6 classes without.

Oh btw what do you mean by taking dual enrollment in like first and second semester? Did you take them during school hours, weekends, or after school?

Hi! Thanks so much :D Sadly, I don't know much about Asb since I wasn't a part of it. If you are interested in the Asb in your school, I suggest you ask your counselor or maybe your activities director (if you have one)

[@numieee]

@@shoya-x6r Dual enrollment is basically a program my school offers where you can take college courses to earn high school and college credit. I took one class each semester and one during the summer. Dual enrollment offers both in-person classes and online classes. I chose to do it online, which means you can work on the coursework on your own time throughout the week. Your teacher can assign tests, quizzes, and homework to you using platforms such as Canvas.

Do you think that as a junior it’s too late to start caring about extracurriculars? I never really paid much attention to college until now and my grades are great but I’ve focused on sports my entire high school career that I never had much time for anything other than those. For extracurriculars all I have now are soccer and upward bound, I need help😅

[@eheaertz_e]

No it’s not too late! Just try to show your passion!!

[@numieee]

Hii! Sorry for the late response! No, it's never too late! What major are you planning to do? If you are planning on a sports career, then doing soccer is a good thing! If you are planning on majoring in something else, I still think doing soccer throughout high school demonstrates your determination and passion! For example, I continued dancing throughout high school even though I'm majoring in nursing because I love to dance and it's my passion. Now, for extracurriculars to do, I recommend doing things that are aimed towards your desired major! If possible, find internships, volunteer events, projects, or other activities that could get you more involved in your field outside of school. It can also help build your communication and interpersonal skills!

Awsome video btw. Just a quick question, my second choice for college is Upenn also, for Business Administration or economics. If there any business extracurriculars u recommend other than internships?

[@numieee]

Hello! I'm not an expert for those majoring in business/economics, but if you still want my opinion, I think that for any major, it is good to contribute to and make a positive impact on your community. Whether it's through community service, fundraising, or participating in local events, being active in your community can increase your experience in interacting with others. It can also help you learn and practice your communication and collaboration skills, which is important for any job. I also recommend being active around your school. For example, you could join any business-related clubs, such as FBLA. If not, you could even do your own projects that help demonstrate your interest in the business/economic field. I think that it is important to demonstrate your passion and interests through your activities. Hope this helps!

Is ap computer science principles hard ? I was thinking about taking it next year

[@numieee]

Hi! Personally, it was challenging since it was one of my first AP classes (and I'm not really good with technology). However, I think it is a great class to take if you are doing AP for the first time or are just interested in computer science. In comparison to some of the other AP classes I've taken, it is definitely one of the more manageable courses. If you do take the class next year, I recommend doing it with a friend so that you can study together or ask each other questions. Hope this helps! ＼(＾０＾)/
