My youngest daughter applied a lot of Josh's (and his friend's) suggestions to her application. She will be in Yale's Class of 2022. Great advice I am sure it helped her stand out!
Awesome!
Hope you guys enjoyed! Another vlog is coming on Wednesday!
From the people you have talked to at Yale, what seems to be the general SAT score range? Stressing over SAT score
I am thinking about writing my essay on my passion for solving Rubik's cubes because it is genuine and unique to me. It taught me that if I put in the work, I can achieve anything considering I thought that I could not do well in school when I started cubing. I never thought I could become as good as I was, as I have a terrible memory and many people doubted me. Do you think this is a good essay topic or will admission officers not like it because its not an activity well known like a sport
I’m in 8th grade but I’ve wanted to go to Yale since I was 4 cause my big sister was obsessed with Gilmore girls BAHAHAH
Angie Seminara make sure you start taking hard courses like right now! Study hard! Don’t slack off!
I’ve been thinking about college since I was 10 (I’m 14 now) and I’ve been attached to Yale, Boston University, MIT and couple more since. I’ve already started writing some scholarships essays but I haven’t submitted anything yet. This was super helpful thank you ❤️
Slmx.mohamudd me too. Should I do Ib or Ap I can’t decide what would look better
Y’all, if Josh is really helping you guys and/or if you’re a loyal fan, CLICK THE ADS. Just do it.
Tips for the AP test weeks please!!! You took a lot of APs, how did you handle it all the exams?
Great idea!
lol, I'm thinking about applying to Harvard and I'm in 6th grade...
Thanks for the advice. If you ever get the chance, I would love to see a video on how to deal with stress during junior year, during college applications, mental health, how you took breaks and dealt with the not so good days. Thanks!
Seriously, any advice on how to deal with the soul crushing feeling of inadequacy?
I'm a junior, and I have a list of around 18 schools and I need to narrow them down but my main concern is money. Although I may not like certain schools compared to others, I have to keep them on because I know they would be financially a good option that I would be okay going to. So ugh this is gonna be a lot of work for applying but I can't predict what any one school would give me, even with a net price calculator. I wish there was something to make this easier but sadly there isn't :(
Most schools have a financial-aid need-based package that can be earned by you once you apply and get in. That is a whole different story though. Maybe Josh wants to do a video about FAFSA and other things like that. But regardless, it's honestly not about where you go, it's about what you do when you get there.
Stay positive, hope this helps!
start 4:30
Awesome and informative video Josh!
Thank you
Loved the video!! Thanks, super useful. Could you please do a video about financial aid???
Sure!
Hey josh, do you think you can share a playlist of yours? Your intro and outro music are very good.
You can find most of the songs I use under the "Music for Videos" playlist on my channel!
Maybe a video on qualities that help you stand out to these schools? (i.e. Work experience, leadership, commitment, entrepreneurial initiative, e.t.c,)
Keep posting these bangers!
what classes should I take in high school and college if I want to major in engineering specifically biochemical or chemical engineering?
I LOVE U JOSH
great video👍
Thanks!
I always look forward to the intros lmao!
Did you do any summer programs?
I talk about my summers in my How I Got Into Yale video
Hey Josh! I understand that Yale is world-renowned when it comes to the humanities, but do you have an idea on how good Yale is when it comes to STEM subjects? Three of my friends got accepted to Yale, but all of them turned the offer down since they believed that Yale wasn't too great when it came to the hard sciences. Is this true?
What is the best minimum SAT score to be considered in the ivy league?
Hey!
Can you review my essays for Cornell?
Someone help me. I live in India (born in the US) and I am currently in 9th grade. My dream school is Yale, and I’m pretty sure I can score As all throughout till 12th. But the problem is that in India, studying is basically everything. People judge you based on your marks, and don’t give importance to anything else. There are not a lot of extracurricular stuff happening, like volunteering isn’t even a thing here. I’m wondering what I should do :(
Would I get deferred even if there are not a lot of extracurriculars happening I could participate in?
I'll be a freshman (in high school) next year, and my school told me there was a conflict w/ two of my classes. They said I'll have to choose between continuing French or starting AP Seminar (the highest English class a freshman can take). Which one will look best on an application?
The more rigorous class is not always better, especially if you don't do as well. However, if you feel up to the challenge, go for it!
I took AP Capstone Seminar this year and it is a lot of learning to write essays and papers and things of that nature.
Hope this helps!
If there was one thing I could change about my life, is to go back in time and fix my freshmen and sophomore grades as quickly as I could. I left freshmen year with a 1.1 GPA and sophomore year as a 1.0 GPA. At that time I didn't realize how much I wanted to go to Yale. The history and the opportunity fascinates me. But I'm starting my Junior year and I am willing to spend 24 hours a day to my studies and get the highest grade possible but I feel like it's not going to be worth it at the end. Playing baseball and also trying to get good test scores is too much to deal with and I'm stressing every night just thinking of how I messed up. In your opinion, what would you say about this, should i stop trying and go to another college or keep going. I know my possibilities are like .01 to none but I want to do everything I can these last 2 years to make it. Please if anyone could help me in this? I can't even sleep thinking about Yale and trying to forget the possibility is draining me..
Hi what not Carnegie Mellon, Rice or Vanderbilt? Tbh Yale is amazing but not known for engineering.out of the liberal arts Swarthmore in PA has a good engineering program as well. The only liberal art that offers that and top three liberal art nationally. Anyways Yale is amazing! Congrats
What if I don't have the opportunity to visit? (I'm international) how am I to find out if they're fit?
Do the supplements roll around on August 1st? Like could I start my supplements this August for my schools? (I'm a junior)
Second
Good stuff
Hey Josh! I’ll be heading into 9th grade next year and will be taking 3 honors classes. (idk if it matters which ones but I will be taking honors bio, Spanish and English and I have the option to take 5 honors classes, the ones I’m not taking being honors geometry and honors global history 2) Is that enough to get into a relatively competitive school if I build on that number of honors and ap every year, eventually working up to mostly AP junior year?
The more rigorous class is not always better, especially if you don't do as well. However, if you feel up to the challenge, go for it!
Hope this helps!
Michael Egozi i don’t know hoe your school works but my freshman year I had all honors even in the classes that I was particularly strong in. In my school honors classes has a five percent weight so for example I would probably be getting a 90 in regular english, in honors I was getting a 95 or above because of the weight. Also the harder course also helps build your skills so I would recommend taking all honors. Jumping from a regular class to a ap class would be very hard.
welp rip I’m a sophomore and pretty much didn’t do much this year yikes
what was ur sat score
Yep
Josh Beasley do u think i can get in to university of florida with a 1370 sat and a 3.5 gpa
Depends on a lot more than that, but those seem to be good enough stats to get you over the hump
