you left off trump
Only reason why I came to the comments 😂
Thanks for all the wonderful videos, Taylor. You may not see this comment, 😄 but a video on your fav courses or what you got out of them will be so useful! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 💖
You're hilarious
3.7 Accounting GPA/Beta Alpha Psi, any advice for admittance?
POV: You came for research and fell in love.
Aw shucks!
I came here from a suits clip. I don’t even watch suits nor am I interested in finance, she’s fit though
@@cheesball96 We didn't go to Harvard. We went to Wharton, and we saw you coming a mile away.
@@TaylorBell U have an amazing sense of humour.Few ppl have rare combination of Beauty and brain 🙏🙏🙏
100%
Learning is for life, while school is once in a lifetime experience. 🤓 enjoy it!
Love this breakdown on your perspective about Wharton!
YES! There's no experience quite like college 😊 Thanks so much for watching, Michelle!
Current Wharton junior here-I decided to hop on TH-cam instead of studying for my ACCT 102 exam and came across this. I loved hearing your experiences as an undergrad, and it makes me look forward to reflecting on how much I've grown throughout these four years. I strongly resonate with what you said about moving from the west to east coast. I'm from Arizona, and I understand not being able to see family as much as kids from PA or NJ do. Also, thank you for the class recommendations! I'm planning on taking Negotiations in the fall!
I'm happy I came across your video and will continue to follow your channel! Wishing you all the best :)

I have a huge dilemma so basically i earned the full ride presidential scholarship to my flagship state school. It is worth so much money.
select scholarships are blurred for privacy reasons.
In total, I have earned the:
Presidential Scholarship(valued at 40,000 over 4 years;10k per year)
A full Housing scholarship for all 4 years
Louis Hurst Award valued at 2000 over four years (500 per year)
Henry Family Endowed Scholarship in Business valued at 10,000 over 4 years (2500 per year)
A " " scholarship valued at 6000 over 4 years (1500) per year
A one tim 6000 educational enrichment scholarship for study abroad, internships, and other educational pursuits
The undergrad Research Fellowship award, valued at 4000 over two summers (2000 per summer)
The " " Eminent Scholars Grant(valued at 10,000 dollars over 4 years (2500 per year)
Assuming I manage money right, i can graduate with around 54k in cash basically. maybe less depending on what kind of internships i do, but around that. But it is nowhere near high ranking as the ivies.
if i do get into say Wharton in Penn or harvard/yale/princeton/dartmouht/brown, my estimated famly contribution is around 7k a year. So i'd have to go in at minimum 28k of debt after graduation. But since I'm a finance major, i hear name is very important for finance. but my friends say the profit i'll make after graduation will be much better than the flagship state school. What do you think
@@jarenventures what did u decide?
@@notayoutuberjustacommenter i went to my state school
Loved the video Taylor! It was interesting to hear about UPenn because my cousin went their for his bachelors and masters in Architecture. Totally agree though, that higher education is definitely dependent on preference of the person. The older I get the more I realize that learning a trade is just as valuable as I have so many successful friends that didn't go to college. I would love to hear more about your experiences there :)
Thank u so much Lindsay!! How cool, I didn’t know you had a cousin that went to Penn also! And yup for sure, it really varies person to person and profession to profession, couldn’t agree more 😊
not bernie sanders’ picture for warren buffett 😭
😂 Good eye
I hope you can talk about your experience and tips for applying. Penn is my dream university and especially Wharton that will be so helpful.
Thank you for this great video ❤
Hi Nour!! Of course 💜 More videos to come on that!! Thanks so much for watching hehe
No matter what happens in your life. You have something to fall back on. And that is priceless.
Yess another major pro of having a college degree in your back pocket
Thank you so much for making this video! Really look forward to hearing more about the concepts of your favourite subjects!
Thank you so much Joseph!! And of course 😊
I'm kinda digging the cuts to stressed out editing Taylor! Those layers are 👌👌👌
HAHA thank you thank you 😂 lotsssssa layers on this one
Definitely appreciate you making this video, it's always nice to know these things form someone who ha sbeen through it!
Thank you so much Kajal, happy to!! 😊
Thank you, Taylor, for being so open with your life. I don't even know you personally, but you are more honest than people that we have known for years. Kudos to that.
You're beautiful, smart, funny, sarcastic in a good way, and I have just come across your channel as of yesterday, but again, I seem to know more about you than many other people. I look forward to checking out your other cool videos.
In conclusion, you are perfect! 😊
Fantastic video, Taylor! Once again, congrats on graduating! If I got it correctly, you had a full-time job secured 8 months before you graduated. That's great!
My engineering degrees cost me an arm :( And it was 10 years ago... College is fine but tuitions need to stop going up faster than income raises....
Ugh I hear ya. Penn tuition is growing quite a bit faster than the rate of inflation. It's ridiculous :(
@@TaylorBell i lobe business grads!! "Inflation" Hun, only a business major would know!!
@@nishantbangwal8120 who doesnt know what inflation is
Finally someone saying that college could be useful on TH-cam I was expecting you to say that it wasn’t worth it lol
Ahaha yeppp I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-college sentiment as of late. Which I understand. But for me, I wouldn’t have traded it for anything ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Glad to hear that you enjoyed your college experience, and it seems like it set you up well for the future. I’m a junior at Penn State and would’ve loved to go to UPenn! For those who can't go to amazing schools like yours (admissions-wise or financially), I think flagship public universities can definitely be a great option. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much Nick!! And yess totally agree. Great network, name recognition, etc 😊 best of luck finishing up your junior and senior years!
Without even knowing you graduated from Wharton, after watching a few of your YT videos (and I am catching up on all - can’t wait!) you are very articulate, independent, focused, and have an amazing head on your shoulders! 😉👍😉
Easily my favorite channel in 2021!
wow thank you so much Sumit!! 😊 🎉 love to hear it
As a freshman in high school almost to be sophomore looking for a good business school, this was very inspiring. Thank you for this information!
would love to see the main concepts you got out from the classes you listed as most enjoyed! thanks for the video! :)
Noted!! thanks so much 😊 So glad you enjoyed and thank u for watching!!
Cant wait for the video intended for high schoolers with a love of business! (...and consequently Wharton)
ahaha yessss seems there's enough interest for one 😊 Thanks sm for watching!!
Really appreciate the open minded review, while remaining honest to yourself. It feels that nowadays everyone just loves to bash private universities for their high cost with little value for some reason. For sure, university in the U.S. is overpriced in some part and much can be learned online, but being part of a community for several years and building relationships with like-minded people is really valuable. Let alone, the extra motivation you get from working on projects together in contrast to do online courses in front of your laptop. It is just different. Nonetheless,, it is DEFINITELY NOT for everyone and I know many friends who cannot stand the academic nature of class and rather be more practical about their work (although you sometimes just really need to learn stuff instead of trial and error every little thing).
Great video!!!
Couldn’t agree more!! Thank you so much😊
Love your editing and outtakes. Great video!
Hehe thank you so much! Put some extra memes in this one
You know the girl legit went into Wharton when she marked the first part of the video as Intro&Agenda.
😂 I almost included a road map too lol
Oh hi Eren
I don't know if you could, but, id love for you to have someone over who's a Wharton MBA grad talk about the school for graduate education and about how it compares with its competition. Great video, looking forward to more of those. Love from India
Hey girl! So excited to watch!
Hiii Chelsea!!! Woohoo Thank youuuu 🎉 💜
Excellent video Taylor. Great points and glad you enjoyed your time at Wharton.
Your editor inserts are fantastic 😂
Aw thank you!! Glad you like em hehe
Great video! For those of you around the world who cannot afford to attend Wharton, I want to share a short story. Several years ago I wanted to see how good the course instruction was on the Coursera platform. I already had an MBA and a law degree, but I was curious about online learning. So I logged on to Coursera and took a free marketing class given by three Wharton professors. I finished the course. The course content and instruction was outstanding. I could not believe how good the content and lectures were. I neither work for Coursera nor have any affiliation to Penn. I just wanted to share my experience with others who may not have the resources to attend Wharton.
Good evening, thank you for sharing about your experience. Would you recommend the online classes then? Regards, MG
@@matthieugoulard604 yes thats literally what he meant when he commented that bruh
Thank you so much!
This 2:07 cut with the editing software was amazing and so underrated :P
Hehe why thank you 😎
I would be really interested to see a detailed breakdown of your classes!
Great video! Would love if you had a video on your course load, the credit units or however that works and how much work each course or overall it took!
Hi I'm studying actuarial science in uni and I just love your content, keep up the good work💛💛
Would love a video of how you got in! (stats, curriculum, clubs, life, etc.)
Awesome, noted!! thanks for watching Sofia
Editing on point, you got it down.
Meet anyone from Deloitte there? I got a few colleagues that were sponsored to go there- I’ve only heard great things
Thank you sooo much ahah I spent a long time on this one :) And YES lots of friends who work for Deloitte. They seem to like it a lot
I'm a junior in high school and I'm so nervous about everything, I just wish i would've done more so that I could apply to an ivy league but admissions in top universities feel even harder because there aren't as many extracurriculars available and more people are applying. It would be super helpful if you make a video talking about how you got in, and maybe share your stats if you can
I feel ya girl, I imagine it's really tough to apply to colleges right now. My next video goes over alll of this, hopefully it should be helpful even though things are a bit different with covid at the moment. Coming out in a few days 😊 But keep your head up-- you got this! It's stressful in the moment but very rewarding when you're done 🎉
Hey
Did you get in?
This was super interesting. I’m glad you had such a great time in college Taylor! College stressed me out lol.
Aw thanks Macy!! Ahaha yeah I had my fair share of stressed out days (and weeks.. and months) too 😂 Overall though, a great four years
Such an informative video! Great Job! 🥳 I'm from Germany and not interested in studying business but I like to learn more about college and (college) life in America in general.
Hi Taylor! I am currently a junior who is very interested in business, particularly either finance or management consulting. As you can probably guess, Wharton is definitely #1 on my list. I was wondering if you could please release a high school stats and extracurriculars video soon? I am preparing for the college admissions process, and I would love to try and see where I stand against my competition! Also, do you have a personal email that I could use to reach out to you with any additional questions? I don't have social media or anything like that, so it would be great if we could communicate over email! Thank you so much! :)
omg girly did u get in
Interesting to hear you speak and your viewpoint. Very articulate and seem down to earth. Good video.
So nice of you, thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed
Hi Taylor, thanks for the video. It definitively helped me to decide where my next Executive Management Program will be.
Hi Alessandro! Love to hear it, so glad it was helpful 😊 Best of luck!
Thank you for the video!! It was really insightful - I am a junior aspiring to go to huntsman. Maybe you could do a video on the specific classes you took, as you mentioned? Thank youu :)
Aw thanks so much! And woohooo what a great goal 🎉 Best of luck during the application process!
Yay, finally! Awesome video 👍 . Hope to get a chance to do their MBA someday 😆
Thank you so much!! AHah def took a long time to plan and put this one out 😂 And hehe we shall seeeee!
Great video Taylor!
Thank you so much! 😊
This is so interesting and helpful !! thanks so much !!
Woohoo so glad you thought so!! You’re so welcome 😊
Love your videos, you will for sure reach 100,000. Can't wait, will be able to say I was here early ;)
Thank you so muchhh!! Lol how cool would that be
Great and valuable tips, Taylor! 👍
Thank you so much Manshuk! 😊
Loved this! Can you make another video going more in depth on the huntsman program?
great to discover your channel today found your content really valuable.
Aw thanks so much! Glad to hear it
So cool that you got to spend 4 years in Philadelphia! I agree that making connections can be really important! Did you have any favorite activities with your friends? Or any extra-curricular sports/hobbies!? Congrats on successfully graduating from an Ivy League Business program!
Yess and I loved it 😊 Ah man my fave activities were definitely exploring Philly (SO many fun hole in the wall places, bars, restaurants, etc) but otherwise I really just enjoyed the social scene overall :) And YES my fave extracurricular was a program I was in called Wharton leadership ventures-- It's how I got to go to Antarctica and some other seriously cool places. I was also part of the student government for the Huntsman Program 😊 And thank you soo much Nathan! I appreciate it!
@@TaylorBell Sounds like you found a lot of cool places in Philly! That’s so awesome you went to Antarctica!! I’d love to know know more!
@@nathanyoder4509 yess thank you! Have you been to Philly or lived there? Thank youu ahah I actually made a video on it here if you're interested 😊 Twas the coolest experience ever th-cam.com/video/JPb5FTHICJg/w-d-xo.html
@@TaylorBellI have been to PA, but not Philly. I would love to visit there sometime! Thanks for sharing the Antarctica vid! Whoa!!! What an experience!!
You have a gift for communication Taylor!
Thank you for your experience I love this school so much.
Wow!! This is awesome and very informative:)
Thank you so much!! So glad you liked it
When I was younger, my goal was to go to U of M or Stanford business schools. I got rejected from U of M, never applied to Stanford because of costs, and ended up at WMU (“waste-rn” we called it). My last year I studied at UCT in Cape Town. Their business school was awesome btw. Anyway, I was one of only a handful of non-ivy league international students at UCT. I got to become friends with a ton of them. What’s the main difference between these students and students at normal State universities?
Two things: 1) Their vocabulary was enriched. They spoke with big sounding words. 2) They often postured, thinking highly of themselves. Meaning, they believed in themselves more. Why? Maybe it was based on some external validation by a brand, like Harvard or Princeton or Yale or Middlebury. They took that external validation and tried to integrate it into their identities. Were either of these helpful?
The first is only helpful for increasing efficiency IF others know the big words too. Otherwise it decreases efficiency if they don’t know the words and often results in organizations where the culture doesn’t provide a safe place for people to say dumb things, make mistakes publicly with their co-workers and then improve. So mostly big words were unhelpful in the real world.
The second thing was helpful for some people. Because if they believe they can learn to add value, then they are more likely to do so compared to someone who doesn’t believe they can add value. It’s a self proclaiming prophecy - both people are right. However, for others, I noticed it was a sticky point. Their self belief turned into a ego - a downward spiral. They focused too much on “self” and their brand and imagine. Not enough on becoming curious about specific problems, improving them and adding real value to an organization or market. So I would say the second advantage was slightly helpful, but only for those with a strong enough curiosity around improving problems and adding value.
It was interesting because I was a tech founder at that time, running a brand that was widely known around the world. So the ivy students did tend to treat me differently than they treated the handful of other non-ivy league international students at UCT. The convo with me quickly went from “what school do you attend,” (posturing) to more about the dotcom and wanting to learn from real life scaling of the business. For that I am grateful because it gave me a far greater in-depth access to these ivy league pillars in the clouds. :) :)
Management 100 TA and ex-BCGer checking in here Glad to see MGMT 100 represented in your favorites :)
Definitely agree that everyone has different life circumstances that can help them determine if getting a degree is worth it to them. I don't like the attitude a lot of make money online gurus have against college, but college definetely is necessary to be successful.
Couldn't agree more! Yeah I definitely disagree with the automatic anti-college attitude, even though I recognize that college isn't the answer for everyone
@@TaylorBellyeah but college gives you an edge in company or to get a better salary. that matters a lot if the college holds a good ranking in all over the world..
I work in Executive Education at Wharton and the businesses that recruit Wharton Grads are unparalleled. They are literally the pick of the litter and you will typically find Wharton Grads at the C level in every major corporation throughout the world along with Stanford, Yale and Harvard. There are many other great schools with those same claims but from a numbers standpoint they are typically head and shoulders above the rest. On a side note, Stanford Grads are leading the way in start up’s in Silicon Valley and Harvard grads are starting their own businesses as opposed to working for others

Was very informative thank you Taylor!!!!!!!
You’re so welcome lil Rus! Are you planning on applying to an Ivy sometime soon?? 😊
Don't worry. I chuckled at the Bernie joke.
Kenzo here living in the burbs now. How far out of university and center city did you get to travel? Huge fan of locust walk, which is how I found the channel. The wife likes to draw the buildings along it but we haven't been by since rona started :(
Wow. You're awesome. Thanks for sharing your experience and inspiring others. 👌🏽👌🏽❤️
Hey you seem a natural at TH-cam considering you just started 6 months ago. Great video, Wharton seems very cool, I love econ and business, if I were American I’d aim for that uni. Just want to know what editing software do you use? Your edits are getting better and I’m trying to up my game lol, iMovie isn’t cutting it. Also you’ve gained a subscriber :)
Thank you so much Jonny!! I’ve really been enjoying it :) and I use Final Cut Pro X! I used iMovie up until my $110/hour video- that’s the vid when I switched over to fcp. Was a really smooth transition too, it’s quite similar to iMovie but with more functionality. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!! I appreciate it :)
I'm glad you enjoyed Wharton Business School Taylor
Thanks for the video~thanks for the motivation you gave~
This video definitely helped me! Thank you so much!
P.S.- I love your eyes
So glad to hear that!! Thank you so much!😊
Like button smashed before watching because I already know it will be good.🙂
🎉 You da best!!!
Great video and awesome content on your channel, well done!
Thank you so much!
Going into my second semester of Wharton right now. The food on campus could be better, but I met so many cool people here, it’s insane lmao.
Aw yay that makes me happy, that’s exactly how I felt. Both about the food and the people lol
This was so helpful as an incoming huntsman student 😅 👍
Omg congrats!! Welcome to Huntsman!! Hahah sooo exciting 🎉 let me know if u ever have any questions!! 😊
Soooo, you're awesome! I am most likely not the only one to point this out but at 3:41 you actually showed a picture of Bernie Sanders where I think you meant to picture Warren Buffett! Which I got a good laugh out of so thank you for that! You had the right photo the first time however! :)
Hahahaha I know it was Bernie sanders, it was a joke :) wanted to see if people would notice. And thank you so much!!😊
Yay loved this video Taylor! I think there are so many valuable lessons to be learned in college/university for sure 🤗 the system as a business is what hurts so many people...the tuition is outrageous and it only keeps growing every year. Hypothetically if someone had to get student loans for the entire $79k a year (which I would say the majority of students have to take out a substantial amount in loans), that’s $316k for four years and then it starts building interest once you graduate. If someone made $100k a year right out of college, after taxes and living expenses, at best and if they’re steadfast, they may be able to pay off $40k-$50k a year off their student loan debt a year, so they would be able to pay off their loans maybe after 8-10 years to include the interest accrual 😬😬😬 So I think that’s a big factor in people asking if it’s “worth it.” But at the same time you would probably have the same type of ratio with a public university in terms of average income and student loan debt. Unfortunately nowadays you have to have a piece of paper from a credible institution even if you could potentially learn it all online. I do think hands on learning should be required for all degrees though, like as apart of the curriculum. That’s a change I would like to see. Anywho, Its just a big business (college/university in general) 😬 I am a HUGE advocate for life-long learning and continually learning new things/topics and I learned a ton when getting my undergrad and grad degree (for the major and for life in general) I just wish the system wasn’t structured the way it is and I wish people didn’t have to go into ridiculous amounts of debt 😖 just my two cents on the matter! LOL
Thank you so much Brittani!! And tell me about it, that really is a scary scenario. Luckily Penn specifically offers pretty good financial aid to those who need it-- "only" 27% of students take out loans on top of their financial aid packages. BUT I know that's not the case at all schools. I couldn't agree more that tuition, especially at private universities, is truly outrageous. The fact that its such a business when it's something people by and large "have" to do (i.e, check the box that they got a college degree when applying to most jobs) makes me sick. The same goes for the college board-- having to PAY college board to send my SAT scores and subject test scores when I was applying was laughable. Even though college board covers that cost for people who truly need it, it's not an expense people should have to pay in the first place (similar to a large portion of that $79k asking price lol). Anyway, I could also rant about this for hours 😂but I agree with you
For every Graham (successful TH-camr or social influencer) there are millions that don't make the same millions that Graham does, no matter how hard one works. Their work ethic is unparalleled especially Meet Kevin's, but I'd still say at least 30% of their success can be attributed to luck. Most people aren't as lucky, and college is a great alternative. Tuition is a scam, but the expensive piece of paper we call a degree is worth it because of the experiences along the way.
Can you please make the video about what you did in high school, I’m a freshman and I’m really interested in economics and I am trying to figure out what classes I can take relating to economics to help me stand out to colleges. I love the vid!
Yesss, this will be my next video! 😊 Thanks so much
Crazy how expensive university is in the US. I'm studying Medicine in Spain, and it is costing me about 1000€ ayear for the tuition. Would need to add a few zeroes if it were in the US
Yess it is crazy expensive. When I studied in Spain, it hurt to know I was still paying Penn tuition while I was there lol
Thanks for sharing ur experience at Wharton!
I rank schools by alumni economic outcomes. My favorite is to view the portion still in student loan debt plus the portion of those in default.
Then I sprinkle on top of that, which alumni are more likely to receive VC dollars.
I created an algorithm to account for these and other alumni economic variables.
UPenn is up there definitely. Congratulations to you.❤
That was helpful💕 I'm an international student in grade 9. can you make more videos about Wharton school and how to get accepted in it and about the extracurriculars we should do to be more competitive with other applicants
Thanks so much Ayat!! And YES my next video covers allll that good stuff 😊 Coming in a few days!
Fantastic video, congratulations on all your achievements!
What were your concentrations at Wharton?
Thank you so much Dominic!! I concentrated in business management and operations :)
“Visual proof of friends” almost killed me
HAHA I’m glad
who knew you could make a drinking game with "Wharton"? lol. Jokes aside, great content and editing. Thanks for creating this Taylor.
Lol right?! 😂 haha thanks so much Sumair, so glad you enjoyed!
😂
Loved to see Edit Taylor in the back jajaja
Maybe not an overview of classes, but a collection of coolest/most wortwhile points/moments made during those classes?

Hi! Penn is my dream school and I’m a rising junior in hs. (2023) Do you have any advice on the admissions process?
I don't personally think college is necessary in order to be successful but I do believe it can help lay foundation for so many career paths especially the ones we've chosen. However, "life" is still the ultimate university. It will help define your goals and boundaries and ultimately set you on your path. Yeah that was kind of preachy but I do believe it. Hope to see future videos showing how closely the lessons you learned in school line up with your real life experiences in the work force!🤓🤓🤓
Thanks so much Lou and I totally agree!! Thanks for this wisdom 🤓
Editing here is great! *Still waiting for you to submit your application video to work for Graham*
Thank you recyclops!! Ahaha I don't think my employer would like that 😂 But very excited to see who he hires!!
Oh shoot, you're right. Forgot we are on Al Gore's public internet and your employer could see this!
I liked the way you explained the thing's keep it up
Thank you so much!
Thanks Taylor for the video. From philosophy to neuroscience to linguistics I’m devoting to business now. Did you notice at “warren buffet” the picture is Bernie Sanders?
Thanks so much!! And awesome. Haha check the pinned comment (would be pretty hard to mess that one up 😉)
Great video. My son attends Wharton....Sekou. COVID disrupted the full experience of it all. Thx for the post.
Yess I bet it did. Really keeping my fingers crossed for things to go back to somewhat normal so he can get the full experience again 🤞🏼
For those of you who are not US citizens or permanent residents, remember UPenn's financial aid policy is only need-blind for US citizens or PRs. The financial aid for the international students is not need-blind and your financial aid requests will be also considered (need-aware) into the admission decision.
In my operations class which I took ages ago in grad school - I distinctly remember one day the prof saying - an assembly line can only move as fast as the slowest person. Today - some 30 years later - I use that phrase a few times a year - whether it’s referring to my partners, attorneys, etc etc. Funny how that phrase stuck
I’ve seen in your list of undergrad subjects - Astronomy …. hmm, what?? What is astronomy got to do with business education? hope it is a typographical error or otherwise… hey, I’m new to your channel and enjoying back-reading your vids, and i can say they were well-prepared and professionally edited - hurray for that! We are on the same line of work - consulting, which made your channel quite interesting … Thanks for sharing - #StaySafe
i fell in love with you when you said that "absolutely not".
I don't know why but you really bring me the vibe of Caroline Channing ^^
I came here for some research and now I'm madly in love, you are beautiful. Such nice eyes!
Taylor, 3:30 ~ 3:42 was acually hilarious! keep it up
