Successful Harvard Application Essay | Seashells

[@siddhantsuridhawan]

Hey YesReneau, I just got into Stanford. Your essay video and vlog inspired me to write essays that were creative, artsy and 'uniquely me'. You inspire me to be daring, take risks and express my madness and craziness to the fullest. Thank you.

[@yesreneau]

Hahaha I'm glad I helped bring out a little of your wild side :) You're going to need it next year--Stanford is crazy (I mean, their *unofficial* mascot is literally a tree lololol I love it)!

[@worshipcatalyst1]

congrats sid!

[@yusrafaheem2350]

Congratulations!

Sid suri dhawan could I ask you a couple questions about the application process?

"It's not the experience but rather the thought that accompanies it that makes a moment significant" - YesReneau

[@zoegoodall2158]

Using the seashells as a metaphor really made the essay unique and creative, this really was interesting to hear

[@ayesha905]

The essay makes great use of figurative language and needless to say, the video is beautifully shot. Great job!

[@brandonmacarthurixemperoro4605]

Damn son, that's some next-level arthouse youtubing. I guess the answer to "Am I Wasting My Harvard Degree?" would be "no".

[@moonshoestarkid]

she wasnt kidding when she said she was gonna go artsy fartsy hahaha. love it! would love to see the bts too. look foward to watching future videos

[@aspasec9021]

I opened the video and I thought:" ok let's move on... just start he tutorial already!" but then I slowly started understanding that the narration was indeed the essay. Amazing!

[@quoneorita8843]

i watched this four years ago to help me get into my dream college. Now here I am as a college grad looking for inspiration for my medical school personal statement. Thank you for this video :)

[@DylanZucker]

"It's not the experience, but rather the thought that accompanies it which makes a moment significant to me." What an incredible way to express the human experience in words.

[@danielabetancourt801]

Hey Yes Reneau, I am going to Harvard this fall! :))) I started watching you as a high school junior. Your essay videos helped me craft essays that represented me to the fullest. Thank you for inspiring me to be unconventional and unapologetic.

[@just-em2285]

Hello Daniela. I am an international student and I attend to apply to Harvard and why not get excepted . I was looking for a while for someone to talk to and help threw my application process and since "congratulation BTW" you got accepted would you like to help me . thank u in advance though .

[@Iceage5811]

this is sooo much more relatable and seems much more genuine than other youtubers out there.I am 17 too , played soccer for about a decade and now considering to start playing tennis......I am really struggling to decide what to do in the future i.e college for now....I am really interested in maths,psychology,neuroscience,surgery and whatnot......The college applicaions are just around the corner and I have not decided anything yet.....and I really do not have anyone to take real advice from~advice from parents does not help either.....sometimes I wonder why am I the only one unsure about my life while all my friends have already decided their career paths.....If u ever see this I just want to say watching ur videos gives me hope that I might actually make it.

[@kaliturner3402]

Everything about you is just a masterpiece. Thank you for powerful content!

[@edwardb7811]

“The reasons that I have for wishing to go to Harvard are several. I feel that Harvard can give me a better background and a better liberal education than any other university. I have always wanted to go there, as I have felt that it is not just another college, but is a university with something definite to offer. Then too, I would like to go to the same college as my father. To be a "Harvard man" is an enviable distinction, and one that I sincerely hope I shall attain.” April 23, 1935 John F. Kennedy

[@randib.588]

I have a paralyzing situation that makes it seem like I'll never get into college, or successfully get through high school. So I watch these videos and cry. Lol.

[@snehamathur5478]

Hi that was really awesome, how many words was the essay?

[@peterlopresti9683]

YesReneau was "Oxymoron" an essay from the Common App? If so, which was the prompt?

[@osmanhameed9304]

Hey YesReneau, I just wanted to say a few words about how much you inspire me and keep me going in school. As I am writing this I"m a freshmen on my 2nd week of high school staying up to hopefully have you read this. I remember I only watched like 2 of your videos one time in middle school looking up ways to GET WORK DONE and the inspiring words you said to all the viewers watching kept me thinking and I still remember you in your Harry Potter style glasses telling me that I have to work hard in order to get through life. Now it has been a while since you have graduated from Harvard and you are fulfilling my future dream. Traveling the world, I flew on a plane once in my life I remember, and the excitement I felt the whole time was radiant. I just want to let you know that you will be on the trending list almost daily one point in your life with millions of people looking forward to your new post. Just like I have started a new era of my life (High school) you have too... PS: i luv u and let the haters hate cause they don"t matter :D)))))))

Liani Shipp if u got As and Bs in 9th grade, then u should be fine :)

[@technogeek1236]

Liani Shipp colleges want to see growth and improvement, so if you got less than an A, and not so decent grades your freshman year, as long as you show an improvement and demonstrate to colleges that you grew, you should be fine.
