Absolutely impressive and yes I agree, your extracurriculars got you into the finish line. You deserved received a “1” in that category.
Thank you!
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!
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 :)
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.
Aww thank you so much!!
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~
This is amazing. Definitely well beyond what the layman would think it takes to get into all these top notch schools. Thank you for the insight!
Of course!
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! ❤
Thank you!
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!!
Thank you!! I will definitely try talking about it in another video.
Please😊@@HelaineZhao
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.
Thank you!
u r one hell of a person! congrats!!!! u are so awesome mann and ur ecs are insane kudos to u 🎉🎉🎉 u r worthy of every acceptance u got
Aww thank you so much :) I appreciate it
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!!!
Aww thank you so much!
Your extracurricular activities are beyond amazing and absolutely mind-blowing! I also play piano 😊 You are such an inspiration for our younger generations.
Thank you!! I'm so glad to hear that
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
Congratulations! You’re amazing❤
Thank you so much!!
Amazing!!! Good Luck with college!!!! Cant wait to see more of the vlog!!
Thank you so much!! Vlog coming soon :)
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!
Thank you so much!
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
Thank you!! You got this :)
Wow amazing stats and ecs! You can relax a bit once you enter college.
Thank you!
thank you for the video! congratulations!
Thank you!
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!
You're incredible. Idk how you managed to do so much, but i respect you so much for it. I thought being an english teacher at a private institution for 4 years might be pretty good on my apps, but then i saw your extracurriculars and was blown away. Good job, anf I wish you all the best!
Thank you!! And being an english teacher is definitely something to be very proud of as well :)
HUGE HUGE CONGRATS HELAINE!!

Super woman ❤❤❤ congrats!!! You’re amazing! Continue to inspire!!!
Thank you so much!!
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!! Yes, I definitely will :)
You've achieved before age twenty what five competent people can achieve in their lifetime. Well done. Keep it up.
Thank you so much!
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! :)
Thank you!

Thank you :)
CONGRATS POOKIE
Thank you!!!
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!
Thank you!
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
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!
Waiting for the Essay that also contributed in your wonderful journey 😁
congrats 🎉🎉
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!
I used to do a lot of Hanon when my fingers were weak :)
I am really proud of what you have accomplished.
Thank you!
TYSM This was really helpful
I'm so glad!
Wow, I dont know how you have time to achieve all this. Thats incredible
i thought the music you put in your videos were great and now i especially think it makes sense LOL. congratulations!!!
Thank you!! :)
damn you smart asl
congrats!
Thank you hahaha!
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?
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!
Thank you! Will share time management tips in future video :)
Let's go! I'm glad you made this vid!
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)
Good luck!
@@HelaineZhao I don't know whether me in 2 years would be proud
WOOO!! congrats!! :)
Thank you!
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!
Much deserved award!
Thank you!
Omg wow this is so amazing and this gave me such motivation for when I have to apply to colleges next year!! Do you mind if you can tell me how to studies for the sat and how you got 5’s on the ap lang and ap chem test?(specifically ap chem though)
I think the most helpful is definitely taking practice tests. Especially for sat & ap exams, practice tests were the most helpful in building my confidence and improving my score!
congratulations! could you share with us what platforms were used for publishing your books?
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!!!
Wow, congratulations and you are truly amazing! I just wanted to ask how you were able to start all these projects and join competition? Did you school help you sign up for competition? Was there an advisor that helped you with your projects? Did you have to email people by yourself?
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!
Aww thank you so much!! But you got this :) Good luck!
@@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. 🥺🥺
I've been wanting to create an investing club in my school, how did you organize your investing club and what was it like? Really awesome video too btw.
very impressive video, congrats on acceptance and i like how you contributing to community and inspires me. i have a question regarding LORs and sat exam, if i were to take the exam now and got my LORs then do i have to get another lORs because college like MIT and other ivy leagues open their application submission on late november.
wow, Helaine, you just mentioned Bauchi? That's in my country. Your record is really mhen. Congrats
Dang that's really impressive
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 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!!!
Yep ❤
Hi Helaine, thanks for sharing your inspirational background. Would you please advise on how you decided to take these APs? How related are these with your major seeking in college? Thank you!
so well deserved…congratulations
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
congrats!!! can you share your essays/personal statement 🙏🙏🙏
Sorry that's a bit personal!
Loved your video! Quick question, how did you get your business internship?
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!!
What school did you end up going to? Btw congrats you really helped me be more confident in applying to colleges! Love u!
Thank you!! I haven't decided yet, it's tough hahaha
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 !
It was a program!
This is an incredible achievement. Congratsss! Where are you going?
Thank you! I'm not sure yet
Can you talk about your novels and how to do what you did please!
Would you mind going over just how you made your baking business? I was thinking of doing something similar, but I wasn't sure if I would need to get FDA approved or get a lawyer. How did you go about it?
this girl is insane!
Thank you!
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.
How did you go about making a non profit organization? How did you promote and get it out there? I wanna start one but I’m genuinely so lost… Great video!
can you make a video about your essays and all that stuff?
Would you mind saying which Ap’s you self studied for and would you also mind making a video on tips how to study for them?
Curious about your move as a junior in high school. Did you go to a public high school before? Was it a due to a family move, or did you want a smaller environment? If it was the latter, did you stay involved with your other activities or start new ones?
Congratulations Halaine! May I ask on which platform did you publish your novels?
hey can I get into Yale with GRE score only or I have to also give sat or act exam? BTW love your videos. slayy
how did you first start your nonprofit? I am looking to make a company and app but i wanted to find out how to start and get to a nonprofit status.
@HelaineZhao my school doesn’t offer any dual enrollment, I go to a private school, and they need articulation agreements to take community college courses, and my school doesn’t have one, what should I do to take college courses, my school offers 22 AP classes though. Also how many dual enrollment classes did you take? Thank you! Have a great day!
What did you use to publish your books online? I'd absolutely love to do the same, but I don't know what reliable or not
Broo,how did you do all of this 😵. Share with us please. And congratulations 👏
Hi! You are so smart. I respect you very much. I hope I can succeed like you.
Thank you! Best of luck :)
This girl is the dream child
YAY THANKS
I have a question, did you live in highschool? Because I'm a higherschooler, and i've literally done nothing, although i'm not from the u.s. so extracurriculars don't matter, but the course i want is prefers people that do extracurriculars, how did you find the time for all this? And how did you balance your school life, normal life, studying, and all those extracurriculars? Thank you, and you're basically my hero now
Can you make a video about how can we use Webnovel ?
is it worth doing APs when im currently doing the IBDP program? For extra credits maybe?
Can you share your time management? How do you manage to accomplish all the activities and maintain great grades?
Yes! I actually have a video on productivity on my channel :)
In where i live UAE it’s so hard finding extracurriculars. I literally have nothing 😭 I’ll see what i can do though thanks
ty!
what was your business internship called and how did you get involved with it?
