Can anyone tell the intro song name?? Plz

Hi girll do you have instagram or something we can contact you through

hi sharon, thank you so much for all this info, it was really enlightening! i have a question, if you don’t mind, is there any specific way you’d recommend me to stand out- you said they consider background, and my background is high-income (everyone in the country i live in is high-income, it’s not possible to be low-income), but the country itself does not have many opportunities like competitions and awards? for this reason, i’ve tried to stick to community service and highlight that within my applications, but i wonder if that’s enough or if they’d just have high expectations because of income reasons, even though the reality is that there are barely any opportunities here and the opportunities that do exist like national competitions can only be accessed through nepotism (which i don’t have lol)

Aah this was so encouraging!! Thank you so much for sharing!

Happy 2025🎉

Sharon thank u for the vid!! How are the people you have met so far at Harvard like? How is the social life and do you feel in this new environment? I am a sophomore, but I do really hope to get into Harvard to meet amazing and hard working people and develop truly deep and meaningful relationships with them. I truly do hope that you have found your group and people you are comfortable with. (theres like a 99% you did since your so outgoing and friendly) Please let me know!

Sharon, thank you so much for making this video! I am currently a sophomore in high school and I loved learning about what makes you who you are and how you described that in the college application. lol I love what you said about it squishing you from 3d into 2d since you have to tell essentially your life story. Despite this, I do think that you showed a lot of your personality and is what made you stand out. Your love for singing, the leadership you took in many areas, in a nonprofit or at a conference. I do have a question though, how was the Yale Young Global Scholars for you and why did you decide to participate in it? What pushed you to apply, and what other summer programs did you apply to?

hi

OMG GOD BLESS THANK U SM!!!! im an fgli hs senior this really helped!! do u offer any one-on-one advice or calls to help w essays, ec description, etc?

tysm for this, currently cramming applications rn 😭😭

You speak perfect English with a American accent

I believe your hook - low income, first gen played a significant role. If you didn’t have that, you would need a very high SAT, GPA and national awards for any shot. Great video by the way!

Gurl remember me when you're famous because I think you're content are really amazing

Congratulations on your academics and extracurriculars! You are a great singer! You did a great job with your academics and extracurriculars. Including that you were singing. Let me share a little introduction to myself. My name is Andres. I have completed with my A.A degree in General Studies at Valencia College. I have been to 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 4 high schools, and 3 community colleges. For right now, I am working on my B.A program in Communication and Journalism at Fayetteville State University. My minor used to be Creative Writing, but for right now is Theatre. Just finished with my third semester at Fayetteville State University. Next semester, I will be taking two courses in online for the case that I am going to be moving again earlier. I just published my first book for about a year. My book title is called “My Life Journey with Autism as a Military Child”. It is already in Amazon. For right now, I am working on my second book. My book title will be called “As a Military Child with Autism while Adjusted to New Places”. It might be the same content as my first book, but it might have different chapters. It will be part 2 most likely. I was in the Dean’s List four times in a row at Valencia College. I graduated from Valencia College with a 3.21 out of 4.0 scale. It took me 6 years to complete with my A.A degree because I was always a part time college student. I am still a part time college student at Fayetteville State University. I will transfer my B.A credits to University of Central Florida for my degree in Journalism while minoring in Theatre. It will reapply back to University of Central Florida sometime in May or June. After I complete with my fourth semester at Fayetteville State University, I will be reapply back to University of Central Florida around those times. If Journalism program at University of Central Florida does not work out, I will be studying Journalism at Colorado State University in online while completing my Theatre Studies degree at University of Central Florida. I have to wait an extra year to complete with my two degrees. Will see how it goes. I am going to school for becoming a journalist and an actor at the same time. Once I complete with my B.A degree, I will have someone to review my second book. Lastly, I will have it published in Amazon sometime in 2027 or 2028. I am planning to work on my third book as well! However, I cannot tell you the name of the title because it is a surprise. I will tell you about it after it publishing in Amazon. Again, you did a great job with your studies and extracurriculars in high school. I am very proud of you. Good luck with Harvard University. You should subscribe to my channel, so you can watch my videos. I also have a TH-cam channel. I have been having my own content for 2 years now. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you with your family. God bless you and your family. 🙏❤️

You're so pretty<3 Congrats in getting into harvard!! Hopefully one day I will aswell

Finally a student from harvard who aint the psycho national /international winner😢😢😢😢😢😢 thank youu so much for motivating uss❤

i hate when people say getting a 4 is not that imp and saying they had 3.9 lol there is literally no difference

What high school did you attend in SF?

Do you mind sharing how did you get into mental health coalition or breakthrough, because I kinda need that lol😅

Love yr videos......can'twait to apply

freshmen in hs, this brings me so much hope 😭<3 been looking through so many of these types of videos and felt so disheartened at the amount of people shaping all their extracurriculars around college apps. I feel like I can actually do what I want without being burdened by all that now aha. this was just really refreshing and you seem so sweet and genuine, thanks for the video! do you have any specific plans for yourself in college you wouldnt mind sharing?

Hey!! That’s such an insightful video! If you don’t mind, could you please share some tips you used while writing your supplemental essays? Or perhaps reveal some of yours that you think stood out most to AOs? Keep up the great work! <3

"don't worry about getting a 4.0, I didn't have a 4.0!!" *had a 3.98*

Help I just heard “Kumon” and I started having flashbacks and forgot to pay attention 😭

So sweet, someday I want to be a PhD student in Harvard. 😊

Omgg I have many questions.congrats 🩷🩷🩷

OMG!! looks so fun🤩🤩🤩I dream to be able to go to a school like Harvard one day as well! Do you have any tips Ms. Cheng?

Congrats on Harvard. But I still don't understand what differentiates your qualifications from million other asian american male students with 4.0, tons of APs, perfect SAT, leadership ECs, competition winners, ...etc. e.g. Check Stanley Zhong's story.

Currently finishing my application... I'm motivated

hi it's my dream to go to harvard but I am from India so can give us a tour of harvard or how to prepare to get in harvard. It would be of so much help to me.

AAAAAH THATS MY BESTIE!! LOVE THE VID 😍😍

yay sharon!

hi! How did you come to afford Harvard as a first-generation low-income student?? Im also firstgen and lowinc and I'm worried about the cost of these schools even with scholarships/aid...

Hi! Thank you so much for posting this.. I hope you don’t mind me asking but as another first-gen college student, I’ve been told solely because of my “lower“ standardized testing score it’ll keep me from such universities. I’m looking at a 29 ACT right now (about to take my last one in 2 weeks), but the other aspects of my application are strong and unique imo. Should I be worried if I can’t get my standardized testing score up to a 33+ ? I don’t have anyone else I can really ask, and as my mom has a very traditional and somewhat stereotyped view of college she thinks this weakness will get me automatically rejected. Is this a genuine worry for me? Thanks to anyone who can respond with any advice or input :( it’ll be very much appreciated.

I have my SAT on the 7th really hoping I get it this time as it's my last attempt

love you!! ❤❤

Great video! Good luck on your exams!
