      It’s also possible he didn’t apply soon enough. I know for where I live, if you don’t apply before February, there’s basically a guarantee you’ll get put in a waiting list.

    The way that the person who caused the drama in the first place was trying to lecture the person affected 😭 also unpopular opinion: skipping the funeral for vidcon isn’t that bad to me.

    in the US, gpa’s are on a 4 point scale, but AP IB and some honors classes are on a 5 point scale, so you can have above a 4.0 gpa

    • @hmmorrison
      @hmmorrison หลายเดือนก่อน +15

      I think specifically how it works is that advanced courses (honors, AP, IB) are weighted more heavily than regular courses. So you can only have an unweighted gpa up to 4.0 but if you take hard courses than your weighted GPA can be higher than a 4.0, up to a 5, like you said.

      Totally unsolicited but State schools or community colleges are a good way to pay less, get your education + make connections and get out of there! If you really want to go to a big school you can always transfer later or if you change your mind and decide to go to grad school, more scholarships or stipends are available to grad students, one huge thing that many people overlook is that a lot of top schools offer free lectures or online videos and work the only thing you wouldn't get is the diploma, if you have no interest in college, trade school is also a great path! Oh! If you're still in hs you can also get college credits through dual enrollment and shorten the time you would go to college because you've completed the credits early, everyone is always going to have something to say but Ik a decent number of people who are happier just working or going to a 90% acceptance rate school then those that go to prestigious ones (and ik lots of students at prestigious schools), at the end of the day most of these people end up in similar jobs if they put in the effort

      I didn’t wanna go either because of debt and how expensive it is so I made a deal with my parents. I would go if they would pay for it. They accepted the deal on the grounds that I attend a community college. While I understand I am very fortunate for them paying for my schooling, I wouldn’t have gone to college had it not been for them and our agreement.

      I know this is an old comment but like just don't worry about this stuff, seriously, you can re-apply to schools. It's also not as big of a deal as you might be thinking to get into a "really good school". Because of selection bias I've seen way more kids online thinking about applying to Harvard than I would've ever met in real life. Realistically, those kids are like 0.2% of the US population and you can carve out a perfectly great life for yourself anywhere else. Feel free to look into all the celebrities, or anyone you idolize in general, who went to normal ass schools. Sometimes schools just decide theyve accepted enough people and you gotta go somewhere else or wait to re-apply. I have a strong dislike for the perfectionist culture that makes kids super fking stressed about this stuff
      Edit: The only downside to re-applying to a school is that there's probably an application fee. They're not usually very much (25$-50$?) but it's still a thing. You can get them waived in certain circumstances.

      schools like ivy leagues also prioritize legacy students, meaning they usually will consider accepting you if a family member or yours is an alumni of that school! or that one scandal where a girl was accepted into harvard despite not reaching the "requirements" because her parents donated a bunch of money to them so they could accept her.

    • @chriss.3740

      Probably an Ivy League which is still possible to get into, but they can see through BS and checklist mentality. I’ve known people who’ve done similar things and more and get rejected because they did it to look like they did more instead of choosing something they are passionate about and that will have an IMPACT. Like people have started useless nonprofits that die after they graduate high school that have no real impact but the whole time they could’ve been volunteering or some other project that they care about. Of course GPA and stats are definitely part of the pie, but they aren’t everything that’s considered. So don’t feel discouraged and do what you are sincerely interested in to be able to present.

Idk where you live but in America if you are diagnosed then you can have what’s called a 504 plan with accommodations to help you in school. Things like extended time on tests and stuff. And by law they have to acknowledge it and abide by its rules or the teacher can get fired. Maybe if you have a nice supportive teacher or counselor at school you can talk to them about ur possible adhd? In school if you’re having trouble paying attention, I’ve heard that fidgeting with a quiet fidget toy discreetly might help. I’m not an expert though so I recommend watching TH-cam channels like How to ADHD, Jessica is really nice and she knows what she’s talking about. But in general my rule of thumb when getting advice for certain things is to look at a large “sample sizs” of advice to see the general consensus and then go from there, but that’s just a me thing because it helps me feel like I’m not just going with one biased source ESPECIALLY online where misinformation is everywhere 💀💀 and if ur struggling to get homework done on time, so am I lol ur not alone, but maybe linking it to something your interested in can help. Like a show or movie or game. There’s this podcast on Spotify called “Happily neurodivergent” that has an episode about it. It’s called “intergrating special interests” which was made with autistic individuals in mind I believe but it could still help. Another channel I like for self help is Elizabeth Filips. Her advice is less rigid and feels a lot more doable compared to others on yt with a heavy #riseandgrind mindset. I think that covers it? But yeah, all the best dude I’m rooting for u. Again I’m no Ben but if u have more questions ask away. I try and help people where I can! (sorry for the super long comment oops)

    Ben I’ve got drama, so I have a best friend of like 8 years, now our sisters are also best friends, but recently they had an argument, they made up eventually but they don’t talk anymore. So, as you would guess it’s a bit awkward, especially since they show up to my badminton club every week. The last time I saw her (about 3 1/2 months ago) it was her birthday and she didn’t thank me for my gift or say bye or greet me ,etc. In the past she would always do this ( her mum thanked me tho ) So we go to the same school but she’s in another year group so I didn’t see her for a year because I moved up schools, eventually she caught up but she doesn’t ever talk to me in school, now I understand she might want to fit in and wants ti fond friends in her year, but there is NO need to ignore me completely, I hoped that it would disappear in half a year, it’s been about half a year now and she still dents talk to me , plus she always seems to get her friends messages but not mine (to be fair I don’t use WhatsApp and other apps like that) but still. Now I think since our mums are besties too we can schedule something soon , don’t know how soon that is because they live MUCH further away than they used too, compared to maybe where you live 25 mins drive prolly ain’t that long but where I live it’s fairly far away (btw she used to live live 1min away when we where younger) , What’s your advice Ben?

    (Disclaimer, I have *NOT* watched the video yet)
    The reason he most likely got rejected was because his application focused on the grades and not the extracurriculars. Most universities don’t care about GPA and skipping a grade, that doesn’t make u special. And community service? So many other applicants have probably done research at NASA and the such, tbh, if you haven’t done community service, you are the odd one out.
    To get into Harvard, u don’t have to fit in, you are supposed to look special or better than the others.
    Also, there’s no fkn way he only applied to Ivy League colleges, that’s actually so stupid
    But yeah, his application was super weak. Only did community service and 2 other things?? + college courses?? Like dude, that won’t make you special than everyone else. You NEED to stick out. And if you only apply to Ivies, maybe you need to get rejected, because there’s no reason you are stupid enough to only apply to Ivy League schools, and deserve to get in

    0:53 so in America, we use a 4.0 unweighted system, and a 5.0 weighted system, let me explain.
    So an unweighted GPA, is the average grade of all your classes, it used the 4.0 scale.
    But a weighted GPA, is the average grade of all your classes, but it considers the difficulty of the classes. So if you take a really hard class and you get a C, you will probably get the same average as someone who got an A on a regular class.
    Example: you take an AP class and you get an A, that will be worth more than an A from a regular class.
    Weighted uses 5.0 scale

    hey ben, here's my drama:
    I participated in this seasonal activity with my two friends every year let's call them Apple and Orange. But this year it was different, there was a new person who started to join this activity, let's say Grape. Seeing Grape I instantly became friends with them and really liked Grape! Grape expressed to me how they thought Orange was cute, and at that time I thought they would be perfect a super cute couple! I shipped them so much to the point when another one of my friends tried setting Grape up with someone else and I refused to let it even start to happen. Only problem was Orange was in relationship at the time. One day me and orange were laughing at some video that resulted in them texting me from then we texted a lot more and became closer friends. It also happens that at the time of us being closer friend Orange's Partner started spreading rumors about me being the reason they broke up. This caused me to be more wary around Orange for their own good being, but still was close. I kept setting Orange and Grape up after the break up and things seemed to be going well between them. I had soon found someone for myself and me and grape helped each other out! However, in this relationship I soon became unhappy and awkward comparing or thinking about Orange when with that person. I at first interpreted it as missing their friendship, but soon realized it was much more. I knew it wasn't fare to the person I was talking to and broke things off. Orange was distant with me at the time however because I was talking to someone else. So I became less distant and made it clear I wasn't talking to that person anymore but not that I was interested, because I didn't want to harm our friendship on accident. But I did all this while still knowing Grape was interested, harming that friendship and fell really and about the whole thing. I keep close with Orange still but they are also becoming slightly distant recently and I think they may be catching onto me liking them. I feel bad because they might stuck between Grape and me or I, in a choice of jeopardizing friendships; Or was too late and Grape and Orange are already "together". Im really trying to find a new answer because I am just as miserable stuck in this situation as when I was when I didn't know I liked Orange and was still with the person I'm talking to. I also don't know how to truly show my feelings for orange without jeopardizing our close friendship. Or how to abandon my feelings in order to move on (but I don't know how that possible because I really like Orange, that's what I feel bad about the most).
