we're going to college! | decision day 2019

hi everyone!
sorry i've been gone for a bit. i wanted to upload this fun vlog i filmed during my school's college decision day on may 1st. it features many of my close high school friends, and i was very lucky to be able to capture these genuine moments of excitement and happiness with them.
also, yes, i committed to harvard. i am incredibly blessed and ecstatic about it! i hope to talk to you all more about it soon, but in the meantime enjoy this video as you wait for the other fun vlogs i have lined up ;)

why is everyone @ this school so smart lmaooo

[@fathimashaikh2671]

you r very smart b3li3v3 in yourslef

[@gummi3128]

Probably a feeder school. Colleges love them

[@gummi3128]

A. T. It’s a school is super good with a great curriculum and they are expensive so all colleges love them. Lots of Ivy League schools pick kids from feeder schools. They’re the tops schools

[@ryanjose573]

Egg Roll East brunswick is a public school and they aren’t best in their own county, but they are still good but not better than Edison it south brunswick

[@ethanmckesey8249]

I assume you in live in jersey by the amount of Rutgers commits

[@kirarenee2035]

that’s what i was gonna say sksksk !!! i live in jersey too and A LOT of us go to Rutgers! it’s a beautiful school and people call it a “safety school” where i’m from

[@mananbhatt9381]

Yeah lots of jersey schools are like that. I’m from a neighboring school to EB so it’s cool seeing how impressive they are.

[@ethanmckesey8249]

margo walden bro same

[@tchit8792]

margo walden depends on the area you live in... it’s kinda sad that way I guess

[@nellyfigueroa5321]

We have an 85% graduation rate and 82% of them went to community college last year in my high school I believe only one or two kids didn’t

[@angeliqueordonez5233]

It’s probably a magnet school for college prep. High school matters! Some high schools have a reputation to produce hard working students others don’t. Sorry that’s the facts. I’m speaking of public schools private schools have very school guidance counselors to really help plus less students.

[@brielleg.3131]

@@angeliqueordonez5233 I actually go there currently and it’s just a public school. Though, we do have a good reputation and curriculum. People here are just really smart and competitive I don’t know why lol.

[@peytonwinter7061]

congrats! Also is Rutgers a college near your location? Just because it seems like a lot of people are going there

[@laustruevan]

this school is a feeder school for rutgers

[@sophiegilles8926]

rutgers is new jersey's state college, so in every nj high school a lot of people end up going because they have a very good honors program and a very low in-state tuition!

[@michellesong5190]

It's like in California, most of the kids go to an UC or Cal State

[@siyapatel120]

My dream school is Harvard, and I'm in 8th grade, do you know anything I should do to increase my chances of getting in? Stats? Extracurriculars? Classes? I could really use the advice from someone like you Christine! Ily

[@justyourbasicarmy9303]

Siya Patel hey! i’m definitely not on christine’s level but what i’ve heard from my junior friends and senior friends is to keep on top of your classes- aim for all As- if you don’t get them try to at least show improvement in second semester extracurriculars- colleges want you to be a well rounded person- try extracurriculars that fit your interest( ex. interested in computers- try a robotics club, go to tournaments, place, etc.) classes-try classes that fit you. don’t take aps that don’t match your interest level, at the same time try to take classes that do. (ex. ap lit, if you want to be an english major, etc)

[@rachelmiller7940]

Siya Patel grades dont matter.

[@mikak1765]

I just went through the college process and have a lot of friends going to prestigious colleges so here’s my bit of advice lol. I’m not really qualified so take this advice as u please. get really involved in something you’re passionate about and would wanna pursue in college!! or if you’re not sure get involved in things that interest you. you want something on your application that shows that you’re genuine and a dedicated student. also essays matter so be honest in them and edit the heck out of them! use them as your outlet to be creative and introduce yourself to the college and highlight the unique parts of yourself.

[@siyapatel120]

I am in 8th grade and I have been taking lots of notes , watching educational KZbin videos to be a really intelligent freshmen, but I am also really passionate about being in a major called journalism or maybe liberal arts. The problem is my high school doesn’t have an extracurricular activity that relates to a lot of writing. My dream university is UT Austin. They have an excellent journalism program.😕❤️ My dream prestigious university is Columbia. But I can be very negative and have self-doubt, so I think I will be rejected.
