  • here is the long awaited college decision reaction video! i love watching these and was so excited to make one this year! comment below which college i should go to or if you applied to any colleges this year (@ seniors)!
    for background reference, i applied to all of these schools as a computer engineering major.
    get ready for some college vlogs :))
    also, happy april fool's day lol. imagine this whole video was an april fool's day prank? haha dw, its not... unless? no actually, these acceptances, waitlists, and rejections are all very much real.

    if you have the time and are willing to help me out, i ask one favor: please try to not skip the ads. CMU and GT are about $50K each, so which ever school i end up choosing will be very expensive and i will have to take out loans. hopefully, this video makes a lot of money so i can help pay for college (i don't have a job rn, but i'll probably work in college)

    You got into GT and CMU, and waitlist at MIT. Just because you got rejected by the ivies doesn't mean you're not good enough, you obviously are. It just means you're not a good fit. Congrats on those schools! They're both amazing.

    I got waitlisted by MIT when I applied last year. Unless you REALLY like MIT (which I did, it was my top choice), I wouldn't recommend taking your place on it because I just got strung along for months (first deferred, then waitlisted) only to get rejected in the very end. They take very few applicants off of the waitlist and its not worth getting your heart broken twice.

    • @kellycha
      @kellycha  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      i’m going to try it anyways, i won’t be heartbroken if i don’t get in because by then, i’ll already have committed to a school, but it would be great if i do get in.

    • @pidayrocks2235
      @pidayrocks2235 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    The MIT acceptance page is a trick. If you figure it out right it will click on to an acceptance page. If you can't figure out the trick it sends you to a rejection page. It's a built in test to see how smart you are. Pretty clever actually.

      including senior year, i took 6, but my school is weird; we get like no electives and they didn’t offer a lot of aps. i think 16 is a lot, but try talking to upperclassmen who already took those classes to see how the workload would be, especially if you do a lot of clubs too

      College acceptance sometimes don't make sense, but they do pay attention to scores, as well as extracurricular activities, how well you fit in with the school's vibe, and your essays. A lot of people with great scores get rejected form some colleges because they are lacking in other areas.

      lol what does that have to do with this video? Also, isn't that obvious? "Education" is learning through school, and "intelligence" is being smart/ applying your knowledge. They are not "equal"; you can go to school and get an education but still not be intelligent. However, it is highly unlikely to become intelligent without pursuing an education because you need to learn knowledge (you're not born with intelligence).
