says you don't need amazing numbers....has outstanding numbers.......
well he provided an example of why numbers aren't everything
That what is the problem everyone say number does not matter after getting and excellent score and also say score doesn't matter
Why does He say that leave SAT questions blank?
@@europebasedvlogs1251Leaving a question blank gives you a certain amount of points while getting a question wrong is either no points or a loss of points (might wanna double check)
@@AlexStormDrake thankyou, but why leaving a question gives points
_when you just got rejected and this is the first thing in your recommended..._
Diego Tejada well that’s just bad luck
Diego Tejada lol your profile pic makes it perfect
You can always aim there for your post graduation
I got rejected by a uni for a masters. I still have the rejection letter, its a sentimental thing. You shouldn't loose heart. I applied to a better school and i start my masters in January. I am super excited about that.
Hey man, mad respect for trying!
Make one for international students please!!!
Yes pls!! I'm an international student applying to US universities in the fall (incoming freshman btw)!
Yes. I am applying to US as well
Hey! I would like to do that as well.
What are the exact requirements for international students ?
For international students the acceptance rate is 1.7% . If you think you are gonna make it then you are wrong.
Kaustav Dey Hey man. All you know is that some people may be that 1.7%- you can't exactly say one is *wrong*. They could be more hard-working and smarter than you. Yes, it may be very hard, but not impossible.
Apologies for the message but what you said let other International Students down, including me.
He did his assignments when they were given out. That is some solid advice. Have a draft ready within a week, then leave them aside and revisit a week later. Your mind is clear, you can review the assignment with renewed perspective and make the appropriate corrections. Repeat as many times as you need and in the end you have a triple A coursework
"I'm not a genius"
um yeah. sure.
Marie Johnson That's what a genius would say 😂
A genius would be one of those kids who gets a gold medal in the Math Olympiad or places highly in the Intel Science competition. This kid is smart, and works hard and doesn't procrastinate. I know two smart, non-genius kids who have gotten into elite institutions such as Princeton and Harvard. None were geniuses. All were focused, hard workers, and knew the college game ie used their highschool years to create a resume that would get them into an elite school. I attended a top 10 also, and I am not a genius either.
TheAAOinfin yeah, you're right. I guess i've always associated being a genius with being smart but never really realized they were to separate things. Everyone can get into a great school and be really smart if they put in the time and effort :)
Hi Marie. I don't think eveyone can get into elite univerisites. It is difficult. It's just like not everyone can get into the NBA, regardless of how hard they work. We all have different talents and skills. But I just wanted to shed light on the fact that most of the people who attend these elite institutions are not rare geniuses. Some are just very good at test taking and following the rules. Others are born into a life of privilege and have had access to the best primary and secondary schools along with tutoring. Also some are legacy kids, with parents or other relatives who are alumni.
You do not need to attend a top ranked university to have a succesful life. And I am not just speaking about happiness, but wealth as well. As one famous example, look at Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple. He attended Auburn University for undergrad, which is a large, easy-to-get-into public university in Alabama.
You just need to know what your interests and skills are, focus on them, and work hard to groom them. Some may not need to attend college in order to be succesful. Only attend an elite university as long as the costs are low due to grants and/or scholarships money. Don't take out huge loans. Otherwise, just attend a large well known public university in your state to keep costs down. You'll get a good education at a state college if you apply yourself.
The real reason to attend top schools is not the education, but the alumni networks and on campus recruiting. But, if you are go-getter, you can build your own networks while attending a public university. Make sure to do internships. Good luck.

How the living- what the- HOW DOES SOMEONE GET A 5 ON AP LATIN? This guy is a martian demon hybrid, no way this guy is human
Glazed Opioid he had created a time machine, went to Ancient Rome and came back to actual time :)
He probably read all of Cicero’s speeches before bed every night for a whole year.
A demon hybrid. Sent all the way from Muzan...!
You need to interview normal students and not living gods.
We interview the people that work for us
Well you hire living gods
Amen Fasil .Andargie no most people who are interviewed are actually quite average I’m British but I’m pretty sure if you study a lot you could go MIT yet I don’t even think about school and get A’s and B’s which is quite good considering I get more work since I am in top
Wolvzie could I get into MIT with no AP classes? I take a lot of honors (my weighted I think is 4.6 and 4.0 unweighted) though I am thinking of taking AP psychology and maybe AP physics 1 or something senior year
peacepuppy honestly I don’t know what ap classes or honours classes are since the British school system is different to the American but if you practice and study on maths English and all three major sciences you could get into mit but just try to get A’s and reach for the stars mate
I only got a 1450 and got into MIT and Harvard as an international. At think it's the extra curriculars are really important.
Hey man,
What did your extracurriculars look like?
Can you demonstrate what type of extracurricular activities you have done?
Where are you from? I'm in international student from Pakistan and I'm applying this December. You mind spilling a little bit about your extra curriculars?
@@maira069 What is your SAT score and will you/have you take AP exams
cool bro
what's requiered??? please
Jesus loves you
he's the Son of God
Believe in him and repent !
My husband is an officer in the MIT alumni club of our state. Every year the club invites the accepted students to a dinner with an MIT professor to encourage them to attend MIT. MIT tends to give less financial aid than other schools, but given the special nature of MIT, the problem-solving university, many accepted students choose MIT even though it means some financial sacrifice. One young woman turned down a full scholarship to Yale for MIT with no regrets.
Hey I'm 15, I'm from France and my dream is to go to M.I.T do you know how I can email M.I.T?
@@edmey thank you!
Can I please please talk to your husband through a social media account
I'm an Indian international student , in grade 10 rn and I want to get into mit
@@hellobruh4209 hey I'm french and I also want to get into MIT. It's funny because we're in the same grade! I hope we're gonna succeed and meet each other there!
@@winelmine2314 great! Which subjects are you studying and what extra curriculars are you pursuing? I hope we both do get selected and meet

Thank you Brooke for all of your passion to help young teens get into their dream schools. People like you are so inspiring and so hard to find. Thank you and keep up the good work... P.S. wish me luck on my act in sept, which i am preparing for now and I am trying to get into MIT
GOOD LUCK!!!
Yo are u at MIT now?
Thank you so much for this video. I found it to be very comprehensive, and kind of motivating since you put emphasis on 'Don't compare yourself with others.'
*describes stellar numbers*, says " i don't think stellar numbers are needed". does not compute.

Every time I feel like not doing work or I'm unproductive, I watch this video to inspire me to be more hardworking because MIT is my top choice also. Thank you!
Love that he's a hardworking student, I can definitely relate more
Love this series! Please do more
Can't stop won't stop!
thanks so much Brooke. always helpful
This depressed me
Don’t be! Jesus loves you, he died for your sins and ooo your place so you could know him and have eternal life:)
@@charlottelokinu9606 amen 🙌
LOL has a 4.71 GPA but says "I'm not genius".
Mohammad Ismail a 5 is the highest gpa you can have...
He is a hard worker n good learner .. Genius is something totally different that's somewhat link to reading of patterns dealing understanding n wisdom's
@Mohammad Ismail It's literally impossible to get over a 5. Stop lying.
grades are not a definite means to define intelligence and what you are proving is the very basis of a 'fixed mindset.' all you need for a high gpa is dedication, focus, be hard-working and don't be afraid to ask questions/admit when you're wrong
Standard grading is out of 4. AP classes grading is out of 5 (I guess). So I guess 5 is the max grade you can get.
Am I right?
brook please please make a full guide for international students like how to apply when to apply for sat ,sat subject test , financial aids ,deadlines , early and regular decision, and all other stuffs. alternative of financial aids ,tofel and it's registration deadlines .
love Fromm India 😘😘😘😘
akash purohit bruh just go to many a or chopras for counselling .
sonic boom yess plz...would love to see that
yooooooo, we have the same name
So, when are you going to apply?
This guy just gave me so much motivation and inspiration that he just made me want to study right now
I love your presentation! Thank you!
Some of the comments here are about being depressed when looking at this guy and how he has done so well for humself, but I think it really stands out to show just how much of a real person he is. I mean you wouldn't take a second look at the guy in the street, and by the way he talks you can tell he is shy but very focused. I think he is really sincere, and that is something you don't normally see with these kinds of videos with people just trying to impose how good they are at school and life and how many schools they got in.
Really refreshing to see.
I ALSO GOT INTO MIT through the gates😞
Lol
MIT doesn’t have gates
I went to Harvard!
On vacation
Lol
Love these videos! Please make "How I got into Yale" and "How I got into Columbia"!
My MIT acceptance seemed to be dependent on what the review board believed i would be bringing to MIT. I achieved an overall 1587 on the SAT and submitted what i consider one of my top 2 essays ever written in my life. However, the interview is what got me in. I excel in astrophysics and took a model and my published work of my theory on higher life as it pertains to the continued development of the multiverse in relation to supermassive black holes and beyond. It's my theory which requires a very open mind but the review board was very impressed and needless to say is what got me in. Remember originality, creativity, and intelligence will get you in guys.
Congrats bro and respect to you
Can’t tell if you’re trolling or not, and that’s scary
Michael Nasralla it’s not possible to score a 1587 on the SAT, all numbers end in 0
@@denzel1659 I believe that a number that ends with 5 is also possible.
{CUBED} Nah it’s not. The conversion makes it impossible for a score to end in a 5
This series is great, and I feel like I need his roommate to speak, too lol. Some of the students in this series are already super competitive applicants compared to most of the nation, so these Ivy leagues/top ranked colleges are barely a reach school. Two perspectives would be great, so one student like him, and another who had weaker numbers but still got in
Very informative and motivational , thank you .
Please do more videos like this!
This guy is impresive
thnkz bruh,that motivated me to be hardworker
Thankyou very much, this video helps a lot.
Glad you found it useful, Mason!
This video is really helpful thank you sir
hey man thanks even though I'm a freshman my dream is to get into MIT and thanks to your video I will take more honor and AP classes and I hope I can get into the college
I do did swimming most of my life praise god this will help alot
I lived in A-Entry at MacGregor House during my four years at MIT. I’m a member of the Class of 1975 who double majored in Math (Course XVIII) and Management (Course XV). I bought a TV for my (temporary) dorm room (in Baker House) on the first day I arrived at MIT for Residence Orientation Week in August 1971. I watched plenty of episodes of soap operas during my college years. I tried to schedule my classes for mornings and evenings, to the extent possible, leaving afternoons free for the soaps.
LMAO WHAT THE HELL IS A “TRUE GENTLEMAN’S CLUB” I’M CACKLING BAHAHA
lowkey just gave up my dreams thanks man
This guy is amazing!
He's funny too!
ok and so now I will peacefully die as a junior....
Great presentation!
Thanks for the helpful video? Could you also make a Dartmouth or Bowdoin video? Thanks!
thank u!!
Thank you!
I graduated in 1987 (BS Mech Eng). It was tough, I had lot of homework. I was a a C student.Sometimes I got a B, Never got an A.
Please do Yale
Just got in. Currently in shock
1 and a half min in:
*gamers have left the chat*
Please do Cornell
nick pro What a joke. Cornell is a safety school
No ivy leagues should be considered safety schools.
gesus i worked hard for my 92%, you killed it homie.
His words really touched my heart😢
8:22 "don't look up the scores of other accepted students"
everyone watching this video:
Omg now I wonder if I have any chance to get into a great college haha. He’s awesome
Can you do a video like this but in the perspective of an international student? Thanks!
Literal living legend!
can you make a video on what to do if you go to a small public school but want to get into good colleges? My school only has two AP classes and no honors classes, most everyone on TH-cam who got into really good schools seems to have 4+ AP classes. I feel like I'm screwed.
I really want to go to MIT. I’m only a sophomore in high school so I’ve got a little time and I’m trying, but I’m scared it’s not good enough. It’s my dream to work at in at NASA and help design rockets so it would be amazing if I could get into MIT in the aerospace program.
Did you get in? I’m guessing your a senior now?
Can you please do videos about how IBDP helps with Ivy League colleges?
I really want to take AP courses but my school only offers dual enrollment :/. Would it help the same way?
Yes!
Schools look at how you use the resources you are provided to their maximum benefit! They don't count you off for something out of your control :)
Colleges only look at what you have available, and many say that dual credit is comparable to AP
Tru gentleman's club?? ;) never heard of that before but I liked the idea!
no way. I totally do the same, making board games, card games, even tag games! 😂😂
Keep at it :)
I go to a community college 😕 my high school grades were super poor, because I was just having fun. MIT is my dream school. My community college gpa is 3.6 right now.
I'm gonna apply and ill get you know how it went.
My weighted gpa for my freshman year was 3.5 but I am working harder to get into MIT. I wish myself luck.
HxH chimera ant arc do you finally get into MIT?
@@faridbiao4778 sadly I didn't even apply for it.i did apply for other good universities but I am going to community College since my family's financial state is not the best. Thank for asking tho T . T
Me before school starts 'I will work hard and study'
*school starts and plays video games the whole month.
Just thinking about MIT gives me anxiety. I'm heading into my Junior year now and have had the highest GPA for the 9th and 10th grades. Both over 4.1 so I'm hoping to keep that up and that it helps me down the road.
I need to get really good scores on the ACT, SAT, AND PSAT and have to get scholarships bc there is no way I would be able to pay. Student loans are traps so I'm not taking any.
Kate do you think that if I had average 3.1-3.5 GPA for 9th and 10th but get 4.0 or higher for 11th and 12th and do well / acceptable scores on the Sats and act will I be able to get in?
I definitely think you still may be able to get in. It shows improvement over the course of high school, which colleges like to see. I can't confirm anything, of course.
Hey how have things gone for you
Thanks for sharing this video! I am going into senior year of high school and am currently stressing about college applications. Despite having a 4.55 gpa and a 1500 sat score (also i'll be taking 10 aps over my high school career), I am very worried about my chances of getting into mit and other top schools... My friend's sister was exactly like the guy in this video, scores and gpa wise, yet she was rejected from every school she applied to but one... I can't help but feeling there's some luck involved in the whole process.
samuelcook13 marked
How were the results? Which of ur schools did u get into?
Which college did you end up going to?
@@neilmehta5573 I ended up going to Boston University for two years and then transferring to Cornell!
@@ConquisteRL how was Cornell
honestly although most comments point out 'hes a god', he was very humble and his stats were more on the normal side compared to most other "here are my stats" videos it made me gain a little hope to apply for mit
You are just fire boy
The simple thing is, you need a lot of certificates symbolizing your involvement in extra curricular activities. I am in Grade 12 and one year away from starting my Bachelors. If I want to get into the MIT, can I manage to make all those certificate achievements within short period?
Can you make video for ‘how to get into mit if you are an international applicant’ with an international student or alumni
Please
"I'm not a genius" has over 4.7GPA and over a 2300 on the SAT
Can you make a vid on how to get into California Institutes of Technology (CIT) or (Caltech)
This guy is the one that you imagine when thinking in this university
Dear Supertutortv,
I love watching all of your videos! I'm currently enrolled in the 9th grade and looking to transfer to the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy, also known as IMSA, to continue my high school career. I would have transferred sooner, but the academy requires at least 1 year of 9th grade math and science, and, although I am taking precalculus honors right now, I am only taking biology honors as of today. My end goal is to attend MIT. Do you have any advice for getting into either?
Mya L. G.
can you do Columbia or Cornell? please.
Working on it! Stay tuned
I just looked what a normal high scool exam would look like in America. They are way easier than the exams in Finland. In America I think you need to just choose A B C or D but in Finland you really have to remember the whole sentence.
Holly molly! My average numeric grade is 9+ and i thought that 9+ was only B in letter grades but its actually A!!
Please do a UM video
love your videos💕💕
UM?
SupertutorTV yes. University of Michigan. preferably the Dearborn branch. It'd be appreciated :)
He has really good academic stats as a recruiter swimmer.
He said he went into electrical engineering/computer science early in the video, but later he said a "specific instructor" inspired him to study chemical engineering. Did I hear him wrong? if not what made him/you want to switch areas of study? (I am also interested in studying electrical engineering).
As far as I understand, colleges don't see your AP scores from senior year during admissions. So out of the AP scores you showed us, only some were received in time to be sent to colleges, right? Or did you manage to take that many by junior year?
Colleges don't look at AP scores period.
Hey, can you please do one for Northwestern? Thanks!
Helpfull video.sir
Hi. PLEASE make a video for those who want to do PHD in Chemistry from MIT.
How I Got Into MIT ???
I payed 70 000 $
Is it that simple bro
time to rob a bank
Can you post a video that covers tips on how to create genuine application essays that colleges will like?
Yes please....I too need it
Can you do Tufts next please??
This is Really Helpful 😊👍👍
All those tips were really Nice .
☺☺
Thank you! Gabe's nice AND swell.
Make one for Yale!!!!
Especially for Indian Students
I am taking the test after a month. I have dedicated that month just for SAT prep! I scored on 4 practice tests in the 1320-1380 range (Math 670-730 , English 640-710). Is it possible that I score 1500+ after a month practice on khan academy plus solving 4 more practice test?
yeah i jumped from a 1120 to a 1420 within a month of practicing. My scores are still climbing-just keep grinding
Consider the ACT too! It's a different kind of test, but 1) you can take it more often and not have to worry about missing SAT 2 dates 2) there are more practice tests than new SAT and 3) once you get the hang of the timing, it is much easier to take. If you qualify for extended time, than it's a significantly better option.
Does this mean I'm screwed if I got a B freshman year?
TheTachyon absolutely not, if anything it will show you improved as a person
TheTachyon i agree with the other person, i’ve heard from my counselor that colleges really want to see growth!
Is it possible to enter MIT after a long time after graduating high school. They sent me brochures and pamphlets about them and Mensa through out my high school period but I never took the opportunity. I think now I may be ready to start.
how old are you
Oh, just 873.
There are only a few videos that help... This is one of them
Can I get into MIT if I only get As on math, science, social studies, Engineering,Art,Culinary and B's on Gifted and a C at English. :/
"im not a genius"
bro u had a 4.71 gpa in high school lol, thats commitment
Please do harvard
Can you do UCLA next?
Just follow what he explained for MIT. If you have the resume to get into MIT, you will definitely get into UCLA.
You show any college your approved for MIT id bet you would never get rejected
