      It depends on your stats and other factors. A world class applicant has a 90% chance of admission in while someone who is totally unqualified has a 0.9% chance of admission.

    I tend to avoid watching these college admission reactions but for some reason was curious about yours. My niece received her college admissions results recently and was waitlisted at a couple of her top choices. I will recommend that she watch this video so put things perspective. I love the fact that you realize despite your hard work, ultimately where you end up was designed by your Creator.. What an amazing testimony. Thanks for sharing

    Fun fact on applying early to Stanford: it has a strict policy of deferring and deciding so if you've applied scea, and you're deferred to the regular pool.... they feel they can't waitlist you if you've waited so long for a decision. So yes applying early means you can't be waitlisted outright in the rd round.

      @@natsukashiilove2470 i think it more so means that you will either be rejected or accepted in rd, but there’s not necessarily a higher chance in either happening. just that you most likely won’t be waitlisted

    I have never written a comment on TH-cam before and I can say I've been using it for quite some time now. However, this deserves my admiration. Man, this is the most honest college admissions video I have ever seen (and I have seen a LOT of them). Thank you for being so vulnerable and transparent, Luke. It takes a lot of courage to speak the truth but you are certainly blessing many.

    Im glad stanford destroyed all its admissions files when it was uncovered that you can request to view your profile portfolio. No foia request can stand if the info is nonexistent. And let's admit this: there's only room for yourself to feel bad about the reasons for admitting you. The only win scenario is if you suspected they didn't admit you with honorable intentions... so confirming that wasn't a factor in deciding whether to admit or reject.

    What correlation is there between those like yourself who “just barely made it in” and those who later did not get “punched” by a finals club? Who besides you and the admissions office would know what your admissions “score” was? Why did you seek out your score? I am assuming that you didn’t get punched, but if you did, then congrats!
    Apparently Zuckerberg never got “punched.” That may have had to do with his being a “social zero” at Harvard rather than to any other measurable criteria. Does the “impostor syndrome” apply also to “social zeros” with perfect SATs?

      people take the opportunity to view their admissions files simply because they now have the opportunity to do so bc of the harvard admissions lawsuit that ruled that bc of FERPA students have the right to view their educational records. it's mainly out of curiosity and simply because you can. not for any reason in particular
