@Charlie Li i guess if you have around 7 class periods a year then if he took 3 freshman year, 5 sophomore year, 7 junior year (most academically heavy) and maybe 5 senior year too? idk man thats crazy. maybe summerschool?
Benjamin Li i took 2 my freshman year and 3 my sophomore year. i could’ve taken more but didn’t want to. i guess some schools just offer different opportunities

@@ashmitdutta Most schools are only letting freshmen study Algebra 1 or Geometry, so Algebra II is Sophomore year, then you don't even get to Calc until your Junior year. He must have been advanced going INTO high school. Many Asians where I live, go to Mathasium or some kind of extra curricular math in GRADE SCHOOL. Then they are advanced enough to take AP classes in math right into the starting gate in high school. Advanced Math leads to opportunity to get into advanced science, etc. I actually don't understand why he took so many AP classes. He has about 60 hours of AP classes, which would be the first 2 years of college. Some schools have a limit on how many AP classes transfer. It would have been just as useful to just go to Community College or take online college classes for credit. Wonder what his strategy was there?
Well all his preparation in high school and at Harvard prepared him for an interview at Amazon. You know how complex those interviews are . Not just Amazon but Google and Apple even Spacex
Just because this guy says that he did 20 ap classes and 20 different extra curriculars and was the best at whatever ... doesnt mean you have to do the same thing he did. They're looking for people that are unique not copiers. Just because you do everything and anything doesn't mean you're unique. Yes some things are mandatory like excellent grades, being involved in the community, and high SAT scores. But taking 20 AP classes and doing 30 different math clubs is not necessary at all. I know people who have gotten in with much less work. The key point to take away from this is not to do what others do. Do what you like/love. If you dont like doing math clubs, dont do them. If you prefer doing sports, do it. Dont try to be someone you're not to impress a college. At the end of the day theres a good amount of people who never went to Harvard, or college at all, and are doing better than Harvard grads. Harvard isnt the secret to success its merely a better chance of being successful faster.
I love this video soo much! What Andy accomplished to get into Harvard is incredibly impresive. And what makes me like him more is that he is so laid-back. 👏👏❤❤
My daughter will be starting high school next week and Harvard is on her list of Colleges along with Georgia Tech and Texas A&M. She was approved for an Engineering pathway and she also as 4 AP classes. She's so excited. She also runs track and plays violin...she's looking forward to high school to become more involved in the community.... I wish I had her focus and vision at her age lol!
I REALLY enjoyed the video. I am female and from Germany and studied at Heidelberg and Frankfurt Main Universities with 2 masters (main subjects: Art History, and Art Education with minor subjects Musicology and Economics) and a bachelor (Educational science). Here in Germany, being versatile is not really welcome for application- really a contrast to the States. My main focus has eber been art and music and I am also a very passionate singer, who did a large number of extra courses for this, I also play cello, piano and renaissance lute. I am also a visual artist. AND I invented my own form of make up (I am also a make up artist as a second job, which I NEVER studied- I taught myself- art studying has helped me A LOT). I am also a passionate athlete (weight lifter and dancer- I even do a further education as a dance teacher at the moment) and speak fluent 5 languages: german, english, italian, french, spanish, and a bit chinese and also a bit swahili. I work for an insurance at the moment, and am a freelancer for: teaching art, wedding singing, tour guiding and make up artist (all works well). Germans are definitely not as open for versatility as US does when applying for university or a job. Instead, it is fairly important to seem straight forward and specialized-focused. Instead, I like the idea of being versatile as the meaning of: creative, open minded and independent, and unique/ special in your own way- inventing your own business, which nobody did before you. Creativity is just intelligence- the more impressions the brain get, the more synapses it can develop- and that makes you more survivable und at least successful. Humanity only suvived because of creativity, curiosity and following: INVENTIONS!!! Being active starts in your mind and sport can help, also the idea of being an athelete AND the fitter your body is, the fitter, competitive and successful, your brain can also be in an integral way (includes meditation, sleep, nutrition, honest self relection, emotional intelligence etc) When doing art, I also love combining all of my own disciplines: singing, drawing, dancing, stage design etc - as a total work of art and MY new form of it. Totally a different world to my experiences, what your guest is talking about.
Great interview. Same thing I told my son who attends NMMI, “ have fun and don’t things out of your comfort zone”. Well he jumped from his second floor dorm window, nearly broke his ankle. Then most recently he was driving way too fast and misjudged the turn and drive off a 4ft cliff. I told him,”WTF! Your not Vin Diesel!! My advice to him is “don’t F sht up, & study hard. Thank you again, definitely enjoyed watching the video. 😁
Fun fact: In the Czech Republic (that's where I live) there are basically 3 degrees that are equal: Mgr = Eng = MUDr. The first one stands for humanities, the second one is for engineers and the last one is for doctors (medics) and all of them are equal to masters degree (For some reason, in the CR we distinguish them). And my point is that in the CR economists get the Eng one, so technically here, Andy would still be engineer. Therefore he isn't different from his parents.
Hafu!!!!!!! I loved this video!! I am impressed with Andy's determination! :) He rocks! Thanks for sharing such interview! You also look different! You look great! Great video!
Guys, this man is an overachiever (20 ap classes really?!). I don't recommend doing as much as he did it will lead to stress and burnout. Just find a few extracurricular activities you're interested in, try to get good at those. Also, you really don't need to take that many AP classes, just a few should be fine. Really just have a solid GPA, high test scores, hobbies you're good at, and a way to stand out. Good luck everyone!
I’m not tryna hate or anything but it’s really odd that this dude literally got prefect grades and scores, got into a top college, graduated but ended up with a job that pays about 127K. To be honest if with everything he did and accomplished kinda expected more.
You also have people that didn't finish highschool making millions, overachieve or underachieve it doesn't matter, follow your passion and be in tune with yourself and good things will come your way 🤞🏾
Did Harvard ever have a practice of limiting the number of Asians that were accepted because there was some kind of racial balance/representation they were trying to achieve? I won't be more specific than that.
He should have asked his friend whether the Harvard acceptance letter came before or after the other offers because I imagine getting accepted to like Stanford or Princeton first would have put the Harvard offer as just more gravy on top...hence, may have contributed to his friend's low keyed reaction.
My mom can never ever see this...sorry Hafu, can't be a disgrace like this hahaha. I want to mention that every high school is different, in some schools, they don't let you take more than 2 AP tests. In my school, I can take as many as I want to but each year has a different number of AP classes offered. Thank's for the insight, a girl from my school got into Harvard and is going there!
Hey ik its been while since you posted your "How I Got Into Harvard" video but, I going into sophomore year in Highschool and have always wanted to go to Harvard, but I gave up on that dream until recently. I am the president of a club and a treasurer of another. I have a 3.5 GPA (which I know is not good) but I am going to change that in the following years. I do track and XC and play a religious instrument that is pretty rare to play in America. I also feel like my religion would make pop out more than other students since its kinda unique. Since you are a Harvard students and and have interacted with other students what do you think of me getting in. Thanks =)
Hi, I have 2 questions that: 1.Is it possible to apply for Harvard University with ielts score for oversea students? 2.Can you inform about other requirements for getting into Harvard University? Thanks in advance!
I liked all of your video 👍 I’m a high school student in Cambodia, and I’m going to finish high school in the next few months. I really really want to get into good university abroad like UBC, Harvard or Tsing Hua. It’s so hard for me to apply scholarship abroad, I have my goal but I don’t know the way how to do it. Really want an adviser .
LMAO Hafu in Chinese literally means Harvard in English... not sure if that's intentional or not, Harvard Go... Sorry no hate, just thought it was pretty ironic
I am 15 years old, I am now in the 9th grade (only 11), my dream is to enter Harvard after the 11th grade. Someone, please tell me, I know Chinese, English, Spanish, Russian (this is my native language), but every year I will study another new language; I write books (so far 16 pieces, but one more is added every month), I used to do rock climbing. But I don't have diplomas, certificates and all that. All these classes will be counted as extracurricular activities or what should I do? And another thing: I plan to enter the finance faculty there, but I don't have any hobbies with finance at all, I just like this job. So, in an essay, I can write about the languages that I know and about writing, and it won't be strange that my chosen profession is not connected with this at all? Just do not write so that I don't study in this university, I will achieve my goal
could u please tell what were the questions they asked u when u were called for the interview to harvard university....please answer as I have got applications and I am eager to know the questions that willl be asked...please🙏
I hope this doesn't sound bad... but I feel like Asian students have pushed the bar up on competition at US schools too much. I went to a top engineering school and it was basically all asian and they studied like they would die if they didn't get straight A's. You have to basically finish half of college in HS and do completely flawlessly to have a shot at these top schools now. I don't see the benefit of any of this or think that it makes well rounded people. I met so many neurotic people in college with terrible social skills, me included. We shouldn't incentivize people to live their teenage years like this.
My problem is the fact that I wasn’t allowed to take honors and AP classes freshmen year and Im planning on graduating early, plus I have no extra curriculars so I don’t think I qualify
I’m from a public school so literally no one from my school can get into a respectable university-do you have any advice for me? Btw I’m willing to work hard and do whatever it takes! Edit: I’m also a freshman so I have a while until I graduate.
Leslie M I agree! It’s just difficult when you’re surrounded by people who don’t want to work hard and of course we are missing out on things that private school kids get. Thanks so much!
@@dancerswithtalent5901 Yeah it is harder, especially for getting into schools of Harvard's calibre. There's a lot of other respectable universities that are not as good but still pretty good, like the one I'm in (University of British Columbia). Since you're willing to work hard and do whatever it takes, I don't think you'll have much of a problem getting into a top 100 university as long as you have the right mindset. Find people who are hardworking and talented, and surround yourself with them. Again, don't let your circumstances determine you. My life improved significantly after I learned to take control over my life rather than letting my circumstances control it. Best of luck!
For sure it will be harder...but what other choice do you have? You can always limit time with your “loser” friends and spend more time reading or finding online influences that get you closer to your vision. You gots this man.
20 practice tests in a week and reviewing your answers and studying each incorrect answer is impossible, unless he didn’t sleep. 4 hour tests + at least 2-4 hours of thorough review and study and re testing per test = 120-160 hours (168 hours in a week)
you're assuming 2-4 hours of thorough review and study and re testing per test. if his initial SAT scores were so bad that he needed 2-4 hours of that per test, then i doubt he would've gotten a perfect score. 4 hr tests + 1hr review = 5hr/test. 20 tests = 100 hours. 1 week = 168 hours. 68 hours leftover (5-7 hours of sleep per day + 2-4 hours of breaks, leisure, food, etc. per day)
He could only take the reading and writing section also, for example. That’s what I did once I knew I got 800s on math every time. So he could spend maybe 2 hours per test and 1 hour for review = 3*20 = 60 hours so 108 hours left over plenty of time to sleep 8-10 hours and have feee time left over

Is it applicable for PhD?
Can you please help me? I am 16 years old and I love to study Harvard.I heard they harass me for studying at Harvard or university america
@@fatemehnemati4857 ummm...nope just aim for your dream no one will harass you make sure you reach where you want to
“what was your sat score?”
“i got a perfect score” he says flatly like it’s normal
100000000000
100000000000
100000000000
Jadess Lowrey normal for people that go to Harvard
@mr_godman don't say "even"
He's so chill about everything he has achieved 😂
Staying humble is how you keep growing 💪
I mean he graduated and started his actual career long ago. So he wouldn't be too excited to talk about things he did in high school lol.
Doesn't really help us
He worked hard and achieved... The process makes you quite calm about life
The only way I can get into Harvard is by jumping over the wall
hahah that's pretty funny
that wall just got 10 feet higher
Me too😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I got into Harvard too...
Then cops joined me
If you ever want to lower someone's self-esteem, you show them this video
Da fuq?😂😂
The fact that you took 20 AP courses and started in your freshman year is genuinely impressive.

So Who's the Dummy Now? Yea my school wouldnt let me. Algebra and geometry were such a waste of time
Impressive but not impossible
LOL love how he said "I got a perfect score" so calmly XD
Haha no biggie ;)
Me too! LMAO
He took 20 AP classes in high school. So he had literally finished his college courses before he entered it. lol
Right. So he graduated college at 18. And got a like master/PHD after 4 years of college with BA
he sounded like a robot when he said "my grades were solid" lol
This is what a leadership looks like
He is a robot that's why he graduated from Harvard University
he was being humble
Well all his preparation in high school and at Harvard prepared him for an interview at Amazon. You know how complex those interviews are . Not just Amazon but Google and Apple even Spacex
Anyone else think Hafu's voice is nice? It has a certain pleasing tone.
I do 🤷♂️
And I thought I was the only one thinking about how to have that accent since the start
hahahaha lol
"i got a good score" "a perfect score"
Pretty good 😏
Just because this guy says that he did 20 ap classes and 20 different extra curriculars and was the best at whatever ... doesnt mean you have to do the same thing he did. They're looking for people that are unique not copiers. Just because you do everything and anything doesn't mean you're unique. Yes some things are mandatory like excellent grades, being involved in the community, and high SAT scores. But taking 20 AP classes and doing 30 different math clubs is not necessary at all.

He’s just sharing his experience. He definitely he didn’t NEED to do all these things but I think that’s what he enjoyed
You do need to work very hard to become successful whatsoever.
It’s common knowledge that Hardvard has higher expectations for the Asian demographic...you can find articles or videos about it.
@@yj6118 Has absolutely nothing to do with being Asian. Please don't bring race/ethnicity into this lol.
Viktor Zguro Asian students have literally came out and complained about this...but ok...
This guy took 20 ap classes and a variety of different extracurricular outside of school. All I can say is wow.
Fr at my high school you’re not even allowed to take AP classes till your junior year.
Well, i would say your friend really deserve to get into harvard based on all his achivements
haha yeah he worked really hard
This guy is a whole mood and I'm here for it. Great bubbly personality

不够
I would say he is honest, competitive and inspire person to achieve his goal. Job well done👍👍👍
Hi new subscriber from Philippines. Just got enroll
Would I get a refund if I follow this video and not get into Harvard? Lmfao just kidding. Great video!
Hahah no guarantees! 😜
Typical Indian comment😂
@G Ha I'm studying marketing
So to get into Harvard, have a perfect SAT, perfect grades, be an athlete and have 12 to 15 extracurricular accomplishments. Sound advice
it's just a reference point for you to consider. meaning it takes a lot to get into harvard
Growing up, I thought only more money could make you enter Harvard. I was wrong, only having more brains take you to Harvard.
Both will take you into Harvard.
I got into MIT and that's litteraly my advice
Keanu Clark congrats!! 🥳
what are your tips i want to get into MIT
Congrats 🎉👏
What was u r sat scores
Did you write AP and ACT
“there’s always graduate school”
I was looking for this comment hahaha
I REALLY enjoyed the video. I am female and from Germany and studied at Heidelberg and Frankfurt Main Universities with 2 masters (main subjects: Art History, and Art Education with minor subjects Musicology and Economics) and a bachelor (Educational science). Here in Germany, being versatile is not really welcome for application- really a contrast to the States. My main focus has eber been art and music and I am also a very passionate singer, who did a large number of extra courses for this, I also play cello, piano and renaissance lute. I am also a visual artist.
AND I invented my own form of make up (I am also a make up artist as a second job, which I NEVER studied- I taught myself- art studying has helped me A LOT).
I am also a passionate athlete (weight lifter and dancer- I even do a further education as a dance teacher at the moment)
and speak fluent 5 languages: german, english, italian, french, spanish, and a bit chinese and also a bit swahili.
I work for an insurance at the moment, and am a freelancer for: teaching art, wedding singing, tour guiding and make up artist (all works well).
Germans are definitely not as open for versatility as US does when applying for university or a job. Instead, it is fairly important to seem straight forward and specialized-focused. Instead, I like the idea of being versatile as the meaning of: creative, open minded and independent, and unique/ special in your own way- inventing your own business, which nobody did before you. Creativity is just intelligence- the more impressions the brain get, the more synapses it can develop- and that makes you more survivable und at least successful.
Humanity only suvived because of creativity, curiosity and following: INVENTIONS!!!
Being active starts in your mind and sport can help, also the idea of being an athelete AND the fitter your body is, the fitter, competitive and successful, your brain can also be in an integral way (includes meditation, sleep, nutrition, honest self relection, emotional intelligence etc)
When doing art, I also love combining all of my own disciplines: singing, drawing, dancing, stage design etc - as a total work of art and MY new form of it.
Totally a different world to my experiences, what your guest is talking about.
Great interview. Same thing I told my son who attends NMMI, “ have fun and don’t things out of your comfort zone”. Well he jumped from his second floor dorm window, nearly broke his ankle. Then most recently he was driving way too fast and misjudged the turn and drive off a 4ft cliff. I told him,”WTF! Your not Vin Diesel!! My advice to him is “don’t F sht up, & study hard.
Thank you again, definitely enjoyed watching the video. 😁
This inspires me so much!! Thank you Hafu 😘
Thank Andy ;)
Fun fact: In the Czech Republic (that's where I live) there are basically 3 degrees that are equal: Mgr = Eng = MUDr. The first one stands for humanities, the second one is for engineers and the last one is for doctors (medics) and all of them are equal to masters degree (For some reason, in the CR we distinguish them). And my point is that in the CR economists get the Eng one, so technically here, Andy would still be engineer. Therefore he isn't different from his parents.

This is what I learnt:You just have to work smart and be Unique in your own way and of course good scores..... Thanks for the video 🌹🌹

"What was your score?"
"I got a perfect score"

After I watch this video, I realized that I will never get into Harvard 😅
😂
Same...😶
I feel you hahaha
Me too
I’m lucky I’m in middle school.
Hafu Go- you are an amazing host of all your great videos! You have an incredible future ahead of you.
I’m in Harvard University and man I gotta say this is a good video I’m on my final year of Harvard and wish me luck
This guy has such a Yankee accent lol. But he's a academic superpower!
Haha he’s a beast
I am so glad college is free in germany
I’m not tryna hate or anything but it’s really odd that this dude literally got prefect grades and scores, got into a top college, graduated but ended up with a job that pays about 127K. To be honest if with everything he did and accomplished kinda expected more.

CONGRATS ON 100K
im a freshman in high school and i don’t know why im watching these videos,but i already know what school i want to go to which is UC Berkeley.
This video gives me motivation that I still can get a perfect score on my entrance exam even when I am left with just a month's time
You got this Tanisha!
Meanwhile the only competitive achievement I have accomplished is quarantining myself all day in a room.
I love u Hafu Go!
Thanks for making this video
the way that “university” is misspelled on his hoodie 😭😭
Wow, amazing! 🤩
So basically if I want to go from CC to Harvard I need to step up my game to the level of this guy...Okay
i used to dream that i can still get into harvard well this really crushed it
how to get into Harvard University: just be exceptional at everything
Did Harvard ever have a practice of limiting the number of Asians that were accepted because there was some kind of racial balance/representation they were trying to achieve? I won't be more specific than that.
3:14 noooo???? And you took 20 AP classes?????? 👏👏👏 #yolo
Him getting a perfect score on SAT really impressed me than any others because it's that FUCKING HARD!!!!!!!!!

You have to basically finish half of college in HS and do completely flawlessly to have a shot at these top schools now. I don't see the benefit of any of this or think that it makes well rounded people. I met so many neurotic people in college with terrible social skills, me included. We shouldn't incentivize people to live their teenage years like this.
My problem is the fact that I wasn’t allowed to take honors and AP classes freshmen year and Im planning on graduating early, plus I have no extra curriculars so I don’t think I qualify
type 1 if ur parents will disown u for this dude
dang i thought 12 was a lot :(

Hafu university, I think I'll try for that university
I’m from a public school so literally no one from my school can get into a respectable university-do you have any advice for me? Btw I’m willing to work hard and do whatever it takes!
Edit: I’m also a freshman so I have a while until I graduate.
Lots of people get into respectable universities from bad schools. Don't let your circumstances decide where you'll go.
Leslie M I agree! It’s just difficult when you’re surrounded by people who don’t want to work hard and of course we are missing out on things that private school kids get. Thanks so much!
@@dancerswithtalent5901 Yeah it is harder, especially for getting into schools of Harvard's calibre. There's a lot of other respectable universities that are not as good but still pretty good, like the one I'm in (University of British Columbia). Since you're willing to work hard and do whatever it takes, I don't think you'll have much of a problem getting into a top 100 university as long as you have the right mindset. Find people who are hardworking and talented, and surround yourself with them. Again, don't let your circumstances determine you. My life improved significantly after I learned to take control over my life rather than letting my circumstances control it. Best of luck!
For sure it will be harder...but what other choice do you have? You can always limit time with your “loser” friends and spend more time reading or finding online influences that get you closer to your vision. You gots this man.
Stay hard and you’ll definitely for fill your dreams. You’ll make it, ❤️from NM🇺🇸
Am I the only one that thinks he sounds a bit like caspar lee🤔
I hope I can get acceptance letter for 2+2 MBA program on April 2020 soon.
Key word is competitively
20 practice tests in a week and reviewing your answers and studying each incorrect answer is impossible, unless he didn’t sleep. 4 hour tests + at least 2-4 hours of thorough review and study and re testing per test = 120-160 hours (168 hours in a week)
you're assuming 2-4 hours of thorough review and study and re testing per test. if his initial SAT scores were so bad that he needed 2-4 hours of that per test, then i doubt he would've gotten a perfect score. 4 hr tests + 1hr review = 5hr/test. 20 tests = 100 hours. 1 week = 168 hours. 68 hours leftover (5-7 hours of sleep per day + 2-4 hours of breaks, leisure, food, etc. per day)
He could only take the reading and writing section also, for example. That’s what I did once I knew I got 800s on math every time. So he could spend maybe 2 hours per test and 1 hour for review = 3*20 = 60 hours so 108 hours left over plenty of time to sleep 8-10 hours and have feee time left over
not me searching for his linkedin right after
You are almost cancelling my going to light international school
