congrats helaine!! i love how you managed to talk about personal projects that actually mean a lot to you, instead of “stereotypical” ecs :)) its actually quite refreshing to see you can just be yourself in ecs for college apps!
You’re a high school student already more accomplished than 90% of full grown adults, congrats and please upload more on how you were able to manage literally being the perfect student, running a business, charity, tutoring piano, and more…
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO, i recently got rejected from all my dream schools and tbh seeing you makes me realize i have a lot further to go and all the places i can improve on. Thank you so much
I'm glad this video inspired you :) But also know that the best places you go will be so much more than just stats or ecs and I'm sure you are doing amazing things in life!! Best of luck~
Thats phenomenal, i was genuinely blownn away from the amount of extracurriculars u did!! Itd be great if u made a video explaining how u managed all those with your studies. Also congratulations!!
girl… the way i looked at the invisible camera when you were talking about writing novels and making reports….I said nahhhhh i’ll stick to my basic colleges 😂 You are amazing I absolutely envy your discipline and skill. Like i can’t even fathom doing ONE thing on your extracurriculars😭😭 You got that and I pray for your excellence throughout college…Please always be proud of yourself.
wow, all of that was extremely impressive, as a freshman i am kind of scared now lol. how did you find the time for all these amazing things and still get 5s on all your APs and become valedictorian?? congrats for getting into those schools because you definitely deserve it!
Don't be scared! High school is an amazing time :) I would say the most important in productivity is to really focus and put all your attention onto one thing when you are doing it. It really helps to get things done more efficiently and also effectively!
Your literally the definition of perfect, perfect, PERFECTTT!!! You have the best grades and if you transfer schools its actually harder to get accepted bc its better to stick with one school. Your so responsible and pretty! And this video would definitely help for 8th graders bc then they can get a head start so i'm really proud of you good job!!!!!!!!!!!!
so proud of you!! you are so smart girl, i am not surprised of how many colleges accepted you! whatever college you decide, they will be so lucky to have you! ❤
THEY HAD TO ACCEPT YOU! You are an academic genuis, buisness smart, payed back 2x more to community, you have your own artistic hobby and what not? basically you deserved all of them helaine
Your extracurricular activities are beyond amazing and absolutely mind-blowing! I also play piano 😊 You are such an inspiration for our younger generations.
i so adore you. you are such a scholar and so smart but also very humble and respectful. i go from following you on tiktok to here (your vids just came up in my youtube). keep thriving, Helaine!!!
Hello! First off, I'm real late here but congratulations!!! The entire time watching I couldn't believe I was listening to a real person... You're so impressive it's unbelievable! I'm currently a high school student, and although I'm not aiming for any of the big schools, I'm really curious about how you approached starting your activities, like how you started them, what channels did you go through, or what kind of connections you fostered,... if you don't mind sharing. I feel like it's not just about building a profile, but about pushing your limits and achieving actual, meaningful change and values - that's also why I want to know more. Can you consider making a video going over this? Thank you so much for the jaw-dropping video and I really hope you see this!!
i am impressed how you managed to do all these leadership events that rlly demonstrate your confidence and passion while STILL have amazing academics. like how do u manage 😭 can u pls do a advice video on discipline and daily routine, i think i need it for a personal reflection 🥹
Hello, just here to say that i am super super proud of you! 💗 and a request if you could share a step by step guide for a year 12 student who haven’t started any extracurriculars as of now. Thank you so much
Girllllll you are literally the perfect student. Everyone would dream about having the same scores and same achivements as you. My dream schools are Harvard,Yale and Oxford and they feel really surrealistic beacause i am also an international student ( europe ). This video made me realize that I really need to work harder and be more passionate ! Hope to someday achive what you did !
Congrats Helaine! Got so much inspiration and idea of what more I need to do to get into these colleges. Please make a video on how you managed and started everything you mentioned. Getting inspired by someone older is harder than getting inspired by someone like you of the same age and grade.
Congratulations Helaine! As a Mom, I’ve watched these videos to help my kids. Your SAT and extracurriculars were pretty impressive. Great luck to you wherever you go!
omg congrats!! you're such an inspiration😭i'm in eighth grade and i'm super nervous abt high school and stuff, and somehow this made me not as nervous. you're super girlboss!!! gl in college
all of this is so incredible!! i’m a new freshman in highschool and i want to know where to start when it comes to the entire ivy leauge thing, and i know that won’t be achievable without standing out or just working really hard as whole, and i wanna thank u soo much for this video because it really gives me an idea !! i also would like to add that i love the fact that you did business interships with people in nigeria, and since i’m nigerian myself it really touched my heart and showed how much of an impact youve created not only within the community around you but within other communities as well ❤
Congratulations!! I like that you genuinely enjoyed all you have planned and accomplished. Clear goals and results, though this is only the tip of the iceberg, in between were perhaps hard work, trial and error, valuable lessons, and many other intermediate processes that made you into who you are today. I hope you keep this spirit, passionate about all that you do, and continue to inspire others. Congrats again!
Honestly all your achievements are so amazing but how you managed at all. Cause every activity test requires its own attention and managing so many things and excelling in them is really really huge.
Thank you for this video! I just started high school and I’m thinking about the extracurriculars and grades I should be doing so I can get into good schools/jobs in the future, so this is really helpful in inspiring and informing me to do my best
i normally dont comment in this type of videos but the extracurriculars part is just fire 🔥.. and look at you looking so pretty and nailing it at the same timee.. girll you deserve more subs
You have some insane accomplishments! I myself also have a deep passion for music and I wanted to know what your favorite piano exercises are? Congrats on getting accepted to all those amazing schools!
We have no chance against these weapons man I feel hopless already but I just wanna say you are AMAZING.I can't even imagine doing all of these things and you extracurriculars were freaking outstanding 👏 I am very inspired by you❤❤❤❤
Congrats on all your hard work! Economics is a very interesting field, and you seem to be very well-fitted for it. I hope you enjoy your time at university! :)
omg congrats girl, you're amazing 🥹 i was wondering how you got this business internship helping students in Nigeria. was it with a program or did you reach out to those entrepreneurs yourself? thanks in advance !
congrats! You can be very proud of you! I just have a question, how did you created your cookie business and where did you go to your piano teaching class because I would like doing this to! Thanks
Beauty and brains! ❤ not me crying coz I won’t get a chance to study in uni/college 😭 but I’m so proud of you, Helaine, you’re a smart and beautiful girl! 🥹🩷
You don’t know that it’s not as hard as you think 🥰. I didn’t know I could take 3 college classes. Now I’m going to take 5 in the summer. You can do anything if you put your mind to it!
@@chlochlo8207 It’s not that I can’t. But I have to work. I’ve started working since I was like 16 maybe. When I finished Senior High School I worked right away. 🥺🥺
omg this is so amazing! this is one of the first stats/ec vids i've actually resonated with bc i'm from socal too; i hope i can speak with you sometime :))
I have a question: When or how long did it take you to write your novels? I’m interested in writing a book and possibly publishing it before I go to college and you had so many extracurriculars that I was wondering how you fit time for it. Btw you are so accomplished in like everything from music to having a bakery to publishing multiple novels to academics. You’re a superstar 🎉
Wow, you're such an amazing person who got the guts to do all of this stuff at such a young age (and we're almost the same age though)! That proves not only you're brilliant but also hardworking. Keep it up, girl! I wish I could have done more of this kind of stuff. Still, my brain nor my body can't handle such pressure along with academics that are already challenging (after all, I'm studying at an online school where the main language is English, my second language), so I gave up on my own projects like my own dancing channel (I'm answering you via this account) and creating a website or app, which I first I had to learn how to code (in the end, it is hard to learn on one's own and I couldn't afford a tutor to teach me this due to financial struggles). What would you recommend to pick up on them? In my recent high school years, I've had some extracurriculars like being part of a dance academy (I'm not part of it anymore because I moved to another city), playing the piano on my own (and I'm still a beginner after 3 years lol) and I'm currently part of an ecologist club from a university in my community. However, I wasn't (and I'm still not) the leader in any of these activities except piano (I suck at leadership and I'm super shy). Also, I'd like to start my own science research website but I don't know where to start and I feel I have no more time left (1 year before graduating high school).
Wow! you are incredible you have inspired me so much I just wish I had seen this video earlier because I’m starting my senior year and less just say my junior year wasn’t good enough to get me into a good university but thank you so much I’m going to do my best in this last year!! ❤
Wow that's such an impressive achievement Helaine, and big congrats for this. Would you share more on the video for tips on how you can study effectively to get this amazing score, how do you manage your time between your studies and running those tons of extracurriculars, my jaw literally dropped, however, I picked it up back and would sincerely like to learn some tips from you.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Your academic and extracurricular activities are amazing. How can you manage your time doing so many things? Thank you!
oh thank you, my dream is to get in Yale! I kinda have the "little shy" because I kinda live in a small place and my school is noy really the top one (just 2nd) so i'm kinda worried if i should whether give up, but you actually give me hope! I will try my best (i'm an international student btw)
Omg Congratulations!!! Your ec's were so good you definitely deserved the acceptances! Could you give more info on how you organized the senior center concerts? That is something I am interested in doing. Also how you monetized your stories, and what you wrote bc I would love to read them!
Congratulations on your academics and experiences from high school. You did a great job with your studies and your experiences from high school. Good luck with your top university no matter where you go. My name is Andres by the way. It is pleasure to meet you. God bless you and your family. 🙏❤️
Congratulations! MIT has always been my dream school, but I will have to wait until high school to see the truth. Getting to be into many great and well-known colleges is a great accomplishment and what I really liked was how you were not trying to brag about it. I also have a question; Do the college applications have different prompts for the applications? Thank you and have a great day!🔹
this is so impressive, ur going to do amazing things!! but genuinley how did you have the time to manage all of this? and were these projects things you started/worked on only in highschool, or did you have previous prep/interest in them?? im not sure if my questions make sense lol but this is amazing!!
I have a video on productivity and time management that might give you some ideas! And some of these I started in middle school or even earlier. Like piano I had interest in since I was 4 years old!
wow absolutely amazing stats and ecs, also do u have any stage tips for piano rehearsals and comps? i get too nervous all the time and i feel that it is really pulling down my performance. thxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Completely understandable! I was nervous too and I think the only way to overcome it is to keep performing as frequently as you can. It will still be frightening but you will develop confidence in yourself and your abilities
hey Helaine first of all congrats for getting into these incredible colleges! Wanted to ask you if you could do a video about the Stanford supplement essays and also about the common app thank u!!
so proud of u helaine!! i was wndering how you found your business intership and maybe give some tips on how to find business-related internships? also how did u get started in your music research? we have the same interests so im really proud on how far u got so cool!!!!
Hello Helaine, thank you so much for this video!!!! Your accomplishments are AMAZING!! I am also really interested in writing a book and publishing it. Can you tell me how did you go about writing your book, and making it so good that it received so many views? Thank you once again!
i’m also writing a novel and i hope to make an album before i graduate high school (i am very proud of some of the music and stories i’ve written and i want to share all my art with the world!) so cool to see another writer girly make it!
Hi!! Congrats on ur results!! This video was so helpful!! Do mind if I ask you what you think is the most important thing to do during summer before junior year?? (Im a sophomore in high school right now!)
I think it depends on your interests and future major! Find something that interests you or you could also take courses in college. And don't forget to just enjoy summer break!
this is so cool!!! i dont even know you but i was so happy seeing you get into so many good places and talk about how much you do 😭do you think sports curriculars matter as much as others such as being a tutor???
Thank you! I didn't do any sports so I can't really speak to that but I think no matter what you do, if you reach great heights colleges will see that :)
Hiii! Congratulations! Im an international student, and in my country we really don’t have any recognised competitions and we weren’t told about profiles until sophomore (equivalent to what im doing right now) year. If you could please tell me where you published you books online id be really grateful! Im an author of three unpublished books
hi super impressive and congrats helaine! I was just wondering if you could give me more context on your 4th ec, the business internship? I would really love to something similar!
Amazing accomplishments. It is so overwhelmingly great that even racist affirmative action penalty on being Asian female couldn’t hold you down. Hope you continue on this path to great heights in the future. This may sound like it’s not applicable to someone as high achieving as you… but I would say learning to fail and overcoming failures would prove to be a really important skill to gain as you go to college and beyond. Best wishes. And congratulations.
Your accomplishments at such a young age are extraordinary 🎉. Can you speak to how you managed your time in an average week? How much sleep did you get and how much time did you spend on the average teen things like social media/tv/video games etc.
Yes, time management is definitely very important but also I think it's very helpful to focus on whatever task you are doing at hand. That helps you get things done more productively and effectively. I actually really need sleep to function hahaha so I sleep around 7-8 hours a night. I feel like social media or games is fine as long as it is controlled! And when I set my phone aside to focus, don't look at it!!!
Hi! first congrats to you to receive so many high ranking uni offers! I'm also a students interested in economics and business. But I'm not sure what kind of things should I do. I'm recently competing in DECA ICDC, if I get a high honor will that be a strong impact? And I also have some business ideas but don't know how to start.
Your stats are amazing! I think you fully deserve the colleges that you got into. However, I'm just really curious as to how you managed to succeed with several extracurriculars while maintaining high stat scores in junior level. Do you have specific study tips that worked efficiently for you? Have you experienced being burnt out too? If so, how did you deal with it as a student? I really hope you could explain and if possible, I hope you make a video about it soon! You're overall very impressive and you inspire me :)
Hello,I am in the 8th grade.We have 11 classes. There are no problems with GPA.I need to take the IELTS exam now and get an 8 or higher score.I'm already speaking without an emphasis on English, but I can't just answer more complex questions right away, I'm still not fluent.And since the pronunciation of the speech is like yours, I am now at the Pre-Inter level. In addition, if I pass IELTS for 8, then I will know 4 languages.Of course, I don't have a certificate for the other 3.But I know them completely.Things are going very well with mathematics.After IELTS, I will study for the SAT.And also, this month I will already go to drawing courses with a good teacher, but I've drawn before,but it wasn't that professional. So give me some advice,pls..What can I do more to increase the chances?I feel hopeless and that I won't have time to do everything.

Absolutely impressive and yes I agree, your extracurriculars got you into the finish line. You deserved received a “1” in that category.
Thank you!
Imo the awards got her over the line, everything was super impressive but that was super impressive to me
congrats helaine!! i love how you managed to talk about personal projects that actually mean a lot to you, instead of “stereotypical” ecs :)) its actually quite refreshing to see you can just be yourself in ecs for college apps!
Well said!
Thank you very much :)
You’re a high school student already more accomplished than 90% of full grown adults, congrats and please upload more on how you were able to manage literally being the perfect student, running a business, charity, tutoring piano, and more…

Congratulations on your academics and experiences from high school. You did a great job with your studies and your experiences from high school. Good luck with your top university no matter where you go. My name is Andres by the way. It is pleasure to meet you. God bless you and your family. 🙏❤️
Thank you so much!
Congratulations! MIT has always been my dream school, but I will have to wait until high school to see the truth. Getting to be into many great and well-known colleges is a great accomplishment and what I really liked was how you were not trying to brag about it. I also have a question; Do the college applications have different prompts for the applications? Thank you and have a great day!🔹
You got this! Yes, the prompts are different.
that’s incredible! thank u sm for this video, it really helped and i’m happy for you!
Glad it helped!
i'm astonished by your extracurriculars
Thank you!
Hiii, I'm from Nigeria and I really want to get into the ivy leagues
Congratulations on your achievements 🎉🎉
Good luck!! Thank you
Holly molly... How many hours is her day?
AND AFTER all that she had the time to study this is what you call a genius
She is definitely smart. Thats hiw she can study with less hours... no student can possibly do all that and still manage to study@break._.73
this is so impressive, ur going to do amazing things!! but genuinley how did you have the time to manage all of this? and were these projects things you started/worked on only in highschool, or did you have previous prep/interest in them?? im not sure if my questions make sense lol but this is amazing!!
I have a video on productivity and time management that might give you some ideas! And some of these I started in middle school or even earlier. Like piano I had interest in since I was 4 years old!
wow absolutely amazing stats and ecs, also do u have any stage tips for piano rehearsals and comps? i get too nervous all the time and i feel that it is really pulling down my performance. thxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Completely understandable! I was nervous too and I think the only way to overcome it is to keep performing as frequently as you can. It will still be frightening but you will develop confidence in yourself and your abilities
@@HelaineZhao thx so much for the advice!!!
hey Helaine first of all congrats for getting into these incredible colleges!
Wanted to ask you if you could do a video about the Stanford supplement essays and also about the common app thank u!!
Thank you! My essays are a bit personal so I don't think I will be sharing those
Much deserved award!
Thank you!
Sis the final boss of academics
Hahah thank you!
so proud of u helaine!! i was wndering how you found your business intership and maybe give some tips on how to find business-related internships? also how did u get started in your music research? we have the same interests so im really proud on how far u got so cool!!!!
Hello Helaine, thank you so much for this video!!!! Your accomplishments are AMAZING!! I am also really interested in writing a book and publishing it. Can you tell me how did you go about writing your book, and making it so good that it received so many views? Thank you once again!
damn you smart asl
congrats!
Thank you hahaha!
All of this is insanely impressive and actually so inspiring! These colleges would be so lucky to have you lol !!
Thank you so much!!
I gave up 🙃🙃🙃🙃
By the way, Congratulations.... You deserve it.. ❤
Nooo don't give up!!
thank you so much!! is there anyway you can do a video talking about your PIQ responses for both the common app and the UC app?
i’m also writing a novel and i hope to make an album before i graduate high school (i am very proud of some of the music and stories i’ve written and i want to share all my art with the world!) so cool to see another writer girly make it!
Hi!! Congrats on ur results!! This video was so helpful!!
Do mind if I ask you what you think is the most important thing to do during summer before junior year?? (Im a sophomore in high school right now!)
I think it depends on your interests and future major! Find something that interests you or you could also take courses in college. And don't forget to just enjoy summer break!
@@HelaineZhao OOH THANK YOU!!
this is so cool!!! i dont even know you but i was so happy seeing you get into so many good places and talk about how much you do 😭do you think sports curriculars matter as much as others such as being a tutor???
Thank you! I didn't do any sports so I can't really speak to that but I think no matter what you do, if you reach great heights colleges will see that :)
@@HelaineZhao im only 14 but ive started tutoring im starting grade 7 piano playing and im looking for more opportunities becaude you inspire me tbh
Great Work. U definetely deserve it!.
Thank you!
Hiii! Congratulations! Im an international student, and in my country we really don’t have any recognised competitions and we weren’t told about profiles until sophomore (equivalent to what im doing right now) year. If you could please tell me where you published you books online id be really grateful! Im an author of three unpublished books
hi super impressive and congrats helaine! I was just wondering if you could give me more context on your 4th ec, the business internship? I would really love to something similar!
Amazing accomplishments.
It is so overwhelmingly great that even racist affirmative action penalty on being Asian female couldn’t hold you down.
Hope you continue on this path to great heights in the future.
This may sound like it’s not applicable to someone as high achieving as you… but I would say learning to fail and overcoming failures would prove to be a really important skill to gain as you go to college and beyond.
Best wishes. And congratulations.
Thank you so much for the advice!
interested in her family's background haha, would love to hear how do you think your upbringings affect your success, thx
Definitely really grateful for my family! Would love to talk about it in a video
Your accomplishments at such a young age are extraordinary 🎉. Can you speak to how you managed your time in an average week? How much sleep did you get and how much time did you spend on the average teen things like social media/tv/video games etc.
Yes, time management is definitely very important but also I think it's very helpful to focus on whatever task you are doing at hand. That helps you get things done more productively and effectively. I actually really need sleep to function hahaha so I sleep around 7-8 hours a night. I feel like social media or games is fine as long as it is controlled! And when I set my phone aside to focus, don't look at it!!!
congratulations! could you share with us what platforms were used for publishing your books?
Hi! first congrats to you to receive so many high ranking uni offers! I'm also a students interested in economics and business. But I'm not sure what kind of things should I do. I'm recently competing in DECA ICDC, if I get a high honor will that be a strong impact? And I also have some business ideas but don't know how to start.
This is an incredible achievement. Congratsss! Where are you going?
Thank you! I'm not sure yet
Your stats are amazing! I think you fully deserve the colleges that you got into. However, I'm just really curious as to how you managed to succeed with several extracurriculars while maintaining high stat scores in junior level. Do you have specific study tips that worked efficiently for you? Have you experienced being burnt out too? If so, how did you deal with it as a student? I really hope you could explain and if possible, I hope you make a video about it soon! You're overall very impressive and you inspire me :)
Hii helaine

Hello,I am in the 8th grade.We have 11 classes. There are no problems with GPA.I need to take the IELTS exam now and get an 8 or higher score.I'm already speaking without an emphasis on English, but I can't just answer more complex questions right away, I'm still not fluent.And since the pronunciation of the speech is like yours, I am now at the Pre-Inter level. In addition, if I pass IELTS for 8, then I will know 4 languages.Of course, I don't have a certificate for the other 3.But I know them completely.Things are going very well with mathematics.After IELTS, I will study for the SAT.And also, this month I will already go to drawing courses with a good teacher, but I've drawn before,but it wasn't that professional. So give me some advice,pls..What can I do more to increase the chances?I feel hopeless and that I won't have time to do everything.
