- I'm back with another college related video! In this video I list the 20+ schools I applied to, reveal all of my admissions decisions, discuss why I applied to so many schools and how I afforded to pay for the apps, and more! Subscribe for more college, high school, AP / SAT exam, and school related videos!
p.s. i filmed this a couple of weeks ago
pps sorry about the weird glitch with the transitions where the "s" disappears- it looked fine in my editing software :/
It must feel so good to get in all of these with scholarships! CONGRATS AGAIN🎉
I love youuuu
Someone applied to 83 schools. You're good sis
MrStonestudios liar
91 OMG! Did you have to write essays for all of them ;(
MrStonestudios which did u choose
Daniella M 83 ?!
who
Congratulations Estella! You’re going to be extremely successful wherever you end up going!
Hey Estella!! Congrats in everything so far :) I will be a senior next school year and I'm so confused about the college application process. If you have the time could you do a video explaining it? Like, when should you start applying, what to avoid doing, how to make time for so many apps, the overall process etc. I think it would help a lot of other rising seniors as well :)
planning to make a series on that!:)
I'd definitely love to know about your time management for all those apps haha
Oh man. I applied to literally one school, and got in. So thats where Im going next fall. Kudos to you, there is no way I could fill out that many applications lol.
chaelor patterson where are you going?
where r u going?
"Why i applied to 26 chool"💀but congrats on your acceptances! And also there is this senior that applied (and was accepted) to over 83 colleges
Thank you for saying this. I'm a junior right now and I'm going to be applying to 18 schools and everyone I know thinks that is too much and I need to narrow it down. But the thing is, you never know which colleges are going to accept you even if your stats are in their range. Plus, for me, money is a huge factor since I don't really qualify for a lot of financial aid. It's really a mystery what merit scholarships you'll get from a college and I want to have good financial options but also have good academics.
Wow. Just amazing how succesful you already are. Great example and vid
Please bless us with your AP videos bc I’m soooo stressed lmao
Deadass the only person i’ve talked to that applied to more schools than me 😩😩😩
But fr girl congrats and (hoping) ur still considering darty :)))
heyitsjoshco are you a New Yorker you said deadass
do only new yorkers say deadass
heyitsjoshco nope Californians say it too!
So do I and I’m in Nashville...
It’s a whole thing here deadass, timbs, and chopped cheese we copyrighted them 😂😂
I think your going to Vanderbilt!!! The scholarship is just too good lol!! Good luck choosing tho
Im already in college, idk why i watch acceptance videos 😂 but good job though, Estella!
Congrats Estella! Your videos have been extremely helpful, you are going to be very successful wherever you go!
Damn who does USC think they are lol
Schools that are sure that they can’t get someone will reject u cause I better school will want u
I agree with you! I applied to 6-7 schools and I regret it. I got into the top ranked ones and rejected from the lower ranked ones, and I hardly got any scholarships or fin aid and it's just a mess right now.
I hearted your comment because it supports the points I mentioned in the video but at the same time I'm sorry you're in such a sticky situation :/
I know many ppl that applied to our state school and a bunch of reach schools and limited their options. To anyone reading: apply to a wide range!! You may get scholarships at unexpected schools
i didn't even know applying to 20+ schools was so many! that was always my plan 😂 congrats on so many awesome acceptances and scholarships!
just see how much her editing has improved, like srsly...luv u estella
And most people in my school (very small school, 35 seniors) only applied to two or three tops. I got crazy looks for applying to eight colleges, let alone 26
xrainbowlightsx That’s an amazing accomplishment at that!! Be proud of yourself :)
I know someone who applied to 60+ colleges (the colleges with a free application) (I guess he didn’t care where he would go). I, on the other hand, only applied to like 6 colleges and got into my top choice :)
Taking the SAT tomorrow and I’ve never felt more unprepared! I’m gonna use your tips to study this whole summer to retake the SAT In August hopefully!! Thank you so much for the inspiration and congrats ❤️
Same same same same
Samiah Sarsour good luck! It will be fine
Same lol made a 1040 lol 😂 with a 4.834 gpa sat isn’t easy..
Kayla Lewis have a question. How do you study? Idk how to study lol
Like do you just go online and practice? Read over/review it over? I’m confusion....
I mean I DO study but like how do I study legit. Study like hours you know what I mean? I need to know cuz my future depends on it! Cuz u know 1040 seems a lot of numbers lol
*proceeds to still stay in bed*
And too all the people who know how to study 📖
I've been watching for a few years now snd it's so crazy to finally see this video. Congrats again!
Tysm! And I know right? It felt surreal filming it haha
yayyy love your videos!! i can never sit through and watch sit down videos but i love urs!!
Aw ty!!💖
could u please make a video on scholarship opportunities? i love your videos so much THANK YOU :)
Yeah, you have amazing options. Those merit scholarships 🤩🤩!
I’m from Florida and am deciding between Miami, UF, and UMich. We’ll see hahaha.
Jealous of that Brown decision Lololo, but happy for you!
Congrats - a lot of your schools are goals for mine. I am in middle school and I am wondering what your advice is for someone younger who is focused on success out of school. Thanks, and great job.
Sabrina T I would say to try and not stress yourself out too much with schoolwork and pick a small niche with regards to your extracurriculars to get really good at and that you enjoy, because actually enjoying it will help you succeed. Contrary to popular belief, top schools aren’t looking for well rounded people but rather a well rounded class. They want a bunch of people who are each really passionate about one particular area/field. With regards to test scores, just try to be above the threshold that top schools require and don’t stress about getting a perfect score because that’s not what most of them are looking for. I hope this helps a bit. Good luck, and know that I’m rooting for you!
my sister applied to 36 lmaoo she went all out
Congratulations!! Thank you so much for all your helpful videos, I’m from a small school where many people aren’t worried about grades. As a girl trying to make it to a top college, your videos are sooo helpful !!
I've been waiting for this video for so long!
buttttt where are u going to college???
I wanna know that too!
I feel like a total slacker watching you 😂 my only accomplishment is graduating a year early with a 3.5 GPA
xrainbowlightsx Still amazing nonetheless!
The stress was super real with all of these applications!!! Congrats on all of your acceptances!! I just posted a vid too about the colleges I applied to and where I’m going 😭
Congratulations on your acceptances and thank you for sharing your experience.
Thank you so much for posting this. I applied to about the same amount of schools, but I was the only one that did at my school. Anyway, I haven't found out if I got into any colleges so far, but thanks for posting this.
Wow! Congrats on getting into all those schools!!! Good luck choosing between them!!!
Hi this is really late and i'm writing this in 2020 but i just want to tell you this!
I'm only 10 and i already made my decision to go to University of North Carolina for the women's soccer team because of how the coaches tech their team. Also for the last game against Stanford. But unfortunately they lost to Stanford. I choose that detail because I believe that it's okay to loose but not okay too not learn anything. Also UNC is near another school called University of North Carolina State which has a veterinarian school. So i'm proposing to go to UNC for soccer and maybe afterwords go to the veterinarian school. I just have to work hard a study.
Even though i'm really young i still love prepping for high school. I also know that i will change my mind since i'm still again very young. I am very prepared to face reality and realize that colleges can be tough to get into.
Which brings me to thank you that your help me study and preparing me for high school!
Omg I am the same! I just wanna get into a different college. :D
@@aliyashah3113 haha yeah good luck!
I applied to 5 😂 I got into my dream one but I’m going to my #2 because the merit scholarships I got so it’s definitely good to be open-minded.
yes girl congrats!!!
Congrats!!! you’re a very intelligent student!!!!!!
All I got to say that all your hard work payed off 🙏💯, congrats 🎊
Girl you are just amazing!!!
CONGRATULATIONSSSS LITERSLLY ONE OF THE BEST HARD DECISIONS SOMEONE CAN HAVE GOD BLESS YOU DESERVE IT!!! (Still insane you applied to so many😂😭😭)
Yooo estella you rock!! ❤
Congrats! My son applied to 17 schools (including all Ivies). Got into 3 Ivies and waitlisted at 2 of them. Harvard class of 2022!
Peter Puczko Woww!!! Congrats to your son!
Same I am planning to apply to 14 schools when I am a senior.. because if I apply for like 5 I might get rejected from all of them.. and I am planning to apply for 6 Ives...
Which college you have join?????
how did u get rejected from usc?
They didn’t want her,
omg congrats!!!!! also if you get in off the waitlist at Columbia you should go!!! (I’m only slightly biased bc that’s where I’m going haha😉)
Congratulations!!
Yasssssss good job Estella
i know im late but you worked so hard so GOOD JOB and YOU DESERVE IT!
not me watching your old videoz hahahh, but seriously you look absolutely gorgeous
I ASPIRE TO HAVE THIS KIND OF COLLEGE LIST WHEN I APPLY TO COLLEGE. UGHHH I STAN SO MUCH✊🏽✊🏽
So happy for you!!
Me realized this was three years ago-
Honestly no degree is worth going into debt. You are so lucky to be able to not have debt at the end of your degree, please do take that in consideration ! Good luck choosing !
No I agree with Charlie.
I meant no degree from a particular university instead of another is worth going into debt. When you are accepted into a degree with a full tuition scholarship, the same degree in a different university, regardless of rank, is not worth it
@@charliemoon5388 thats just factually incorrect
that's amazing congrats!!
Good Job Estella!!! You earned it!! ☺☺
wiah your so pretty
i applied to just 3 and got into my dream school but hey, to each their own !
Wow!! Congratulations!!
Which school are you going to
You'll find out soon 😉
I have a feeling Vandy...we'll see!!
Julia A I think so too. She got full tuition!!!
@@StudyToSuccess where are you now?
Omg CONGRATS👏👏👏‼️‼️✨✨✨
congrats on so many acceptances!! what state do you live in? (just wondering since you applied to schools all over the country :))
FL!
Good video. No need to apologize for having choices. Helping people is great but not everyone needs financial help.
If you don't hear back from your waitlist by may 1st, will you wait out still in hopes of getting accepted because i know may 1st is the day to commit to your other schools and would hate for you to miss out on opportunities and cant you make a pro v. con for the top schools you considered?
Shaliz Eboh You can commit to a school and wait for possible waitlist exceptions after May 1. The only catch is the tuition deposit put into the first school you accepted can't be refunded if you go to a school you were originally waitlisted at.
Shaliz Eboh She’ll commit to a school that she got accepted from there’s a high chance she won’t hear from the waitlist by May 1st. In your ‘enrollment contract’ to the school she commits to, it’ll state that the only reason she commits elsewhere is if she gets off the waitlist at that school. In that case, she’ll loose the deposit at that school but will still be able to attend the school she was waitlisted at.
Oh okay thanks guys!
Where did you end up going to? Love your content btw
wow again early love u 💞
What is wrong with applying to multiple schools. Bruh i feel like i will apply to more than 30 schools and i am a really picky person.
Thanks for this video! Where are you planning to go?
So pretty 😍
AS YOU SHOULD 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This is kind of late but I have been wondering if you toured all of these schools at least once? Or did you mainly just apply then tour if you were more interested? I’m very stressed thinking about applying next year and setting up tours and such. If some one can please reply with suggestions that would be great!!
How much was the total cost of college apps? I’m a sophomore but I want to start saving up ASAP because there’s so many schools I wanna go.Great video!!
Also can you do a video about how you organized yourself and your apps to finish all of them on time?
What leadership positions were you in during high school?
Hi Estella I was wondering how you wrote the “why this school” essay since you didn’t know some schools like JHU or Vanderbilt very well. As a junior looking to start my college apps this summer I’m worried about the school specific supplements! Thanks and I love watching your vids you are very inspirational. Best of luck in college.
I'm planning on making a video series on college apps and I'll definitely talk about that!☺️ And tysm!!
What’s the name of the background music you use in your videos?
I feel like Estella is gonna go to Dartmouth... 😉
Vishwa Krishnan or brown
Idk school baii lol
Yo uh know where she went?
I saw this video a while ago, when it was first posted, and wanted to apply to 20-30 colleges as well. My parents said they only wanted me to apply to 5 or 6, but would pay for 7. I ended up applying to 16, which is the most anyone from my class applied to. The next most were 12. Not that it’s important, but I was kind of surprised that no one else applied to that many
Do I have a higher chance of getting into Ivies if my school is not very competitive? I live in South Dakota, one of the smallest states in the US, and I am applying to Harvard next year. The amount of applications coming from my state will be very small and I am the only one from my school applying.
tbh I'm not sure, but maybe?? I wouldn't rely on it too much though! I'd definitely say location plays a role in the decision making process though- I'll talk about it more in upcoming videos!
Little Baby Owl location does help a bit for the application pool, especially if you’re a high achieving student from a really rural area! it helps with diversity for the overall school environment so don’t stress about where you live negatively impacting you! good luck for next year!
how much does it coast to send an application?!
Hi ! Do you recommend using college consultants for helping in the application process?
I can't even imagine being drawn/attracted to more than 20 schools. The 4 I applied to (UoC, MIT, Harvard, Princeton) are all schools that I was actively interested in attending, for various reasons. What's the point of applying somewhere with little intention of matriculating? At a certain point it crosses the line of "going wherever" and turns into what seems like a blind prestige hunt/gaming the system to get into a "highly ranked" school (a notion that is ludicrous -- small differences in 'rank' have essentially no bearing on a school's quality, since they are so easily played by universities) . I think that having a "picky personality" is justifiable for choosing where you'll be spending a fifth of your life (as well as spending thousands of dollars). All this practice does is inflate waitlists and lower the likelihood that students actually thoroughly invested in these schools will be admitted. In any case, congratulations on your acceptances! My vote is for JHU (I have a few friends in attendance that love it there). I just matriculated at MIT the other day, so hopefully you can take the spot I left in the Princeton or UChicago admitted classes.
I think it really just depends on the person / situation- nobody I know would be confident enough that they would for sure get into those schools you listed. Unfortunately the majority of students I've met (including me) don't get into their top choice / choices or sometimes even their matches, so applying to a lot of schools is safest bet. And I know that plenty of people have "picky" personalities (and justifiably so), but, personally, I've always had the mindset that I'll be happy & just as successful wherever I go over the next four years since I'll make sure I have the best experience I can. Now that I have all these options I'm able to narrow the list down of course based on merit / need-based aid, scholarships, location, strength of programs, etc. I still stand by my decision and don't regret anything (and plenty of people at my school & that I've met at college visits did the same thing so I'm assuming they had the same mindset as me), but to each their own!:) and congrats on MIT!
fair enough :^) I'm just really anal about that kind of thing, so I was very careful. Anyway, congrats on the acceptances -- I'm sure you'll thrive wherever you end up. Keep up the excellent videos!
I thought she didnt show her face?????
Congrats girl! I am currently saving up to apply to schools this fall. I would love if you made some videos about FASFA. What state are u from?
Can you do a video on how you got into all these schools and got scholarships/your recommendations
estella, u will hate me for this but I committed to Cornell 🤧🤧 also 25+ schools squad leggoo
#squad but no hard feelings I hope you have an amazing time at Cornell!!☺️ also I need to start snapchatting so we don't keep chatting through YT 😹
Study To Success ur never on it!!
Hello, I’m taking algebra 1 honors in 9th grade . I fear I’ll be behind or that colleges would think I’m low in mathematics. I’m stressed and I need your advice ..
45th one to comment😉😉😘😘😘 love you 😉
This was a great video! Can you please explain what a scholar program is, and how to be considered for one? Thanks!
You could have gone on a 🔥senior trip with that money.
Did you do early decision/early action to any of these colleges?
Where she went finally?
Your voice is so satisfying
Wow 20+...btw in which college are you now?
Jesus what high school do you go to? And I thought my high school was bad
What are your stats and ECs that got you into these schools .
Queen!
I live in New jersey! And when I need to go to college I will probably apply to Princeton University’s (it’s not that far from my house) Rutgers college, etc (simply just colleges and universities in new jersey)
you have to pay to apply to university? America's weird
In pakistan we also have to pay but a very little amount
Hey, estella which course did you take??
