You’re literally so pretty and smart too😍 hope u find success and happiness in college!!
Jade Readyhoff aw thank you!
What on earth, the culture and academics of your school are insane. A 1450 would be worshipped at my school and we don’t even offer calc BC. We had to fight to get even AP Chem
You Can’t See Your Forehead ya it’s so annoyingly competitive all the time
alyssq colleges compare your stats to your school, so you won’t need as high of scores as the girl in the video if your school overall has lower scores
I’m late, but will colleges take into consideration the difficulty or overall results of a class? For example, in English, the grading has gotten rigorous, and I have the highest percentage, which is only 80%. I know it’s low, but do my peers’ results affect how this is considered?
Can’t believe your teacher was nice enough to bump your C to a B😭 my bio teacher basically scoffed in my face when I asked if there was any way like exctra credit or somethin to get my 79 to an 80 and now I got a big fat C on my transcript haha..
Wait this is so random but did u comment this on another video hahaha
Teachers at my son's school would not do this because it just hurts other students who got a 78 or 79 and it DID show as a C.
This video made me feel so much better...I made one low B for one of my sophomore classes and I've been stressing that I wouldn't get into any good schools because of it. I feel so much better now.
damn cuz. ONE B lol u good.
I loveeeee this video. I’m a freshman and I have been freaking out about grades. But now I feel more relaxed since you didn’t get all a’s but you still managed to get into amazing schools. Now I feel less stressed about my grades. I did not mean for this to sound mean. But your a true inspiration thank you!!!😂😘
Annie Lassie I agree
I kinda of agree bc I am terrified I might get a B in Hon Geometry and this video calmed me down too. But I am pretty sure elite colleges and ivy look at you from the context of your school so I am still pretty terrified cause i go to a competitive public school.
AP Chem everyday all day for a month?! I'm so sorry.
Tchit87 ya it sucked
Can you also post a video about your Essays that got you into those schools?
FanPage yes definitely!
Wow this is so encouraging bc I’m taking the exact same amount of APs as you so far (I’m a junior). I go to a pretty competitive school and I always feel like I’m not taking enough challenging classes, but you got into so many good schools!!
for everyone else who's stats are like... WAY lower than hers, just know that it depends on ur school. at my school (the south), i scored an 1130 on SAT and a 24 on ACT and was considered rlly high. don't worry, all of the more advanced schools judge u based on the location you're in. so don't worry, don't compare urself, you're doing great!
p.s. also, i am currently number 4 in my class (which is irrelevant) just in case u needed to know that lol
that's a straight up lie. only course rigor depends on what school you're from. Standardized tests are looked at the same no matter where you're from. Hence the "Standardized".
@@gracegrace6528 no its not, the south is known for ranking lower on these tests, not bc we're dumb but bc our education system is just not as strong. a lot of colleges now a days look at your area and ik the colleges she went after are MUCH more competitive considering my score, but my argument still stands. :)
@@jaff7121 no they're not. that's literally the point of standardized test scores. they teach based off of common core material that every public school in America teaches the same way; and there's tons of free resources to even the playing field. the SAT is a very easy and basic test too at that.
@fluffyseesyou there's still tons of material available for free. i go to an underfunded school (poorest in the state actually) and im still high achieving so...
Grace Grace that’s really good! but just know that a lot of schools judge u based on ur area and check the averages in your county/ state before accepting or denying u 🤷🏾♂️
You should definitely do a move in vlog!
JESSICA freaking DAVIS!!!!! you are so prettay
Awww thank you! People here at school have actually been saying that too but I don't see it haha😂
I was thinking the same thing her voice reminded me of Jessica's
This gives me so much hope. I keep stressing about an 88 I got in engineering freshman year and a 92 I got in Honors Chem.
Logically, you know the grades aren’t bad, you just know what schools you want to go to look for. I appreciate you noting that you can still get into top schools w that one B.
Sahmaya B. Oh ya it’s so easy to stress about one grade even though it’s not a big deal in the long run
s r hey, even if it’s outside of school, if you like something, do it and be able to explain/write about it. Wasn’t what you expected? Negative? Positive? How did you grow? So just try things out and don’t panic.
Yah idk if I’m getting into my top colleges anymore
Thanks for walking through all the detail on your grades! Can we also talk about the 98 in Honors Chinese 4 and the Chinese poster in the background?! INSANE
YOU ARE SUCH A GREAT ROLE MODEL!!!!!
Oml when she was talking bout her extracurriculars I was dyingggggg, I don’t have any extracurriculars so I don’t know wht I’m going to do😭😭😭
You actually don’t need a whole lot of extracurricular just do things that you are genuinely interested in and passionate about. Focus a lot of time on a few things instead of doing things you don’t even like
Finally!!! Thank you so much❤️❤️ love you❤️🎉
FanPage ❤️❤️
lol rip my chances with my C in first semester ap calc!
Great job! Lots of good info and advice. Good luck in college 🧡💚
Angela Sanders oh my god mom😂
You are literally perfect.
Girl I wish😂 but thank you!!

When you applied to UPenn, were you offered an interview??
@@rameneater5620 yes! I did an alumni interview in my area
Still flexing in the 80s section....any suggestion on how to get to the 90s section?
omg bruh i already know your gonna be the president one day 😂
B.V.S Saket no one asked
I took 4 ap’s junior year and I was about to lose it by the middle of second semester but corona came in and saved me. Thank you for this though I’m really hoping to get into Miami 😭
congrats thats amazing
Thank you 👍🏼 good luck at Miami 🙌🏼
Andrew Bathija thank you!!
Omg I’m taking honors calculus next year n I’m scared many people I’m school say that calculus sucks 😬😬😬
i have a straight 4.0 but my school doesn’t offer any honors or AP classes will they hold that against me 😢
No colleges can see what classes are offered at your school, so they only judge you in that context.
In your app essays talk about how the academics weren’t challenging enough bc they didn’t offer AP/IB
@@VHale-yz7hc Could you add that for college admissions application or something? I’m curious to know how it could help can you please explain it to me, right now I’m a junior so I’m just trying to get as much information as I can.
I wish an 80 was a B where I live. Where I live an 80 is an average C and an 84 is a c+. My grades would look so much better on your grade point scale😭
Are you from Europe? Or I might be confusing it for some place else.
What was your GPA when you applied?
Getting that 5 on the ap chem exam is SOOO IMPRESSIVE !! Wow!!! And even getting an 86 in ap chem is impressive !! Great job!!! Btw, I was wondering how many hours/class credits you got for UM with your ap scores!
Thanks!! I got 18 credits total for my AP scores which was really nice
Did you independently apply to all these schools? Or were your parents involved and checking your progress? I’m beyond impressed as I fear if i don’t get involved with my son’s applications he may not attend college....SO SO proud of you!!!
Eric Goldberg thank you so much! And ya my parents didn’t really know much of anything that I was doing they would just keep asking me if I’d finished yet
Eric Goldberg
Mr. Goldberg , What I would give for a wonderful dad like you.
My sincere wish is not to offend, instead I only wish to lay bear the truth.
You should not get involved and manage your son’s college applications.
I am assuming he is healthy in body and mind. If that is the case you must let him do this on his own. Yes, he should communicate with you and he’ll need your support and belief in him. But if you manage this for him where will he be when he gets to college?
I was always told “ once you get to college they’ll give you all the rope in the world to either build a ladder with or to hang yourself with”. Yes, it’s crude... but now that I’m here I see how true it is. He has to do it himself. God bless!!
You give me soo much hope on god
Me : mom we need green screen
Mom: we have green screen at home
Green screen at home : the entire wall.
I was watching your acceptance and denial university video and it made me think to calculate the cumulative gpa as I have rn as a junior who will start their second semester on Wednesday. As of rn my total gpa from freshman year, sophomore year, and junior year (the first semester, which was my worst )): ) I have a 3.53 gpa overall, so it made me not freak out as much about me struggling with a D in ap physics right now (because that’s literally the only class I’m struggling in, every other class is an A or a B+)
I can relate to that becauseI’m taking UConn physics rn, it’s the worst and it’s the lowest grade I have. But luckily so far my gpa hasn’t decreased.
Thank you so much for this video!
Thank u SO much for this video hahaha!!
Hello Mikaela, we enjoy your insights on your high school experience! Can you do more videos on your HS as we are considering Atlanta a destination for our son to attend school? Thanks!
Hi sorry for the late response! I’m not sure if I’d be doing any videos like that in the near future, but feel free to message me on Instagram because I’m happy to answer any questions about my experience.
Thank you so much for this video! Georgetown is my dream school and I saw you got in! Could you give me any tips?
Glad you liked it! I would say spend a lot of time going through their website, especially the one for your major, and looking up specific programs/clubs that they offer that you want to get involved in so that you can be as detailed as possible in your responses.
Mikaela Cherelle okay thank you so much!! Did you do their alumni interview? Do you think that is an area to majorly improve your application?
That is really helpful, 多谢！
不客气！
They college acceptance system at ivy league schools aren't really fair. They take a certain amount of people from different races, so you'll have a much higher chance of getting in if you were either hispanic or black, and it's much harder and more competitive for asians to get into those same school even with the same or better grades.
Yassssss #blackgirlmagic✨
LMAOOOO I AM CRYING AT 10:20
Elizabeth Rothschild lol LOVE YOU SM DJROTHMOTH💕
Hey do you have any tips to do good on the AP Chem exam? Im taking it this year and im scared cause the average is like a 2 and most schools to even get credits, you need a 4.
Hey! I had an amazing teacher who actually wrote the AP Chemistry Crash Course book, so I highly recommend ordering that. Also, if you are willing to spend some money, he has a website called www.adriandingleschemistrypages.com/ where he posts all of the past exams, full notes for everything on the test, labs, etc. We had the subscription for free since we were his students, but it was incredibly helpful.
Hello! Can you post a video about the NSLI-Y application process and about your experience?
Girl your grades look so similar to mine 😩 love this video, you giving me hope
(Did you take SAT subject tests?)
hey...did you get into UPenn Wharton?? and USC Marshall? theyre my dream business schools and also, which school did you pick?
Hi, this is super late but yes they were mine too. I explain my college decision in one of my other videos if you want to check it out!
YOU ARE PURE GENIUSSSS. Are you African by heritage? Pure human DNA I can see. No humanoid, just HUMAN. Powerful. You're so open and pure , and smart by nature. You'll be world-renowned soon. Straight A! You sound like a world dominator by listening to your enunciation.
Pure human DNA? Should she partly be an animal? What are you talking about?
kasimotinka123 : whites are partly sub-terranean or something they call neanderthal. It's reflected in the character :Never balanced. She is pure.
Hey so I’m going to be a freshman next year, if I don’t take all honors classes can I still get into an Ivy League school?!
Try to take ones that interest you...dont completely swamp yourself but dont slack off either
看college decision reaction的时候还想“昆山”的发音怎么这么标准，原来是一直有在学中文啊哈哈哈哈哈 加油！！
哈哈哈
Lol I’m a freshman in AP World History & so many freshman take that in my school lol , sophomores take like 2 or 3, and Juniors take like 4 or 5 lol, btw you’re pretty
Hehe hôm nay em được nghe cô Mây hát gòi :))
Hi! Your video was super helpful and I saw ur college reaction video and saw that u got into Wash U in St Louis. That’s my dream school. Do u have any recommendations for me?
Hey, I was wondering if you could talk a bit about your NSLI -Y China Summer Program experience? I'm thinking of applying as well, but the program is highly selective. Do you have any tips for the application?
Ok when do you recommend would be the best time to study for the SAT ? I only need to study the math portion since that really rocked me during the PSAT and honestly brought down my score 😖
So I am also a college freshman. I started studying January of sophomore year and used Khan Academy. I studied from time to time during the school year during the evenings and more over the summer. Probably ~100 hours of studying until I took the test once in April the next year. Got a 1530, well worth the effort! Part of what gave me a free ride to a avg 1350 school.
Jaquan Xanthan can i ask what you got on the psat in your sophomore year?
@@megane.9874 A 1330 in the fall and a 1350 in the spring.
By the way, you can also email me at jaqusn.xanthan@gmail.com. This is my throwaway account.
Hey! Thank you for sharing this video with us 💕 Do you mind sharing what your intended major was when you applied to UPenn?
Hi! Yes, I was a business major, so the Wharton School
What school did you go to? And do you think the school’s reputation gave you a boost
Emmet McElhinney I’m guessing she went to a private religious school if Old Testament Bible was a course. Also a lot of private (or majority white) universities are more lenient on admissions standards for black and Hispanic students because they want to increase diversity and those groups unfortunately don’t attend college as often as white and Asian students. Or they increase admission boosting for certain “bad areas” or “schools” to also encourage those kids to go college and to make the university look good
What high school did you go too? My high school doesn’t offer half these subjects damn
Samee
me with 4 C’s 1sem sophomore year bc corona season destroyed me 😀
Hey! Did you submit all of your AP scores on the Common App? I heard people shouldn't be listing 3's for their AP scores.
LifeNature hi! Ya I did but only because getting a 3 on AP Chinese is really hard for non native speakers (since so many native speakers take it, get 5s, and mess up the curve) but I wouldn’t do it for any other exam
My school is wack. Like to get an A it has to be atleast 95.
And your B’s sophomore year would be a C 😬😬 gosh my transcript is ahhhh
Isabela Moore if i were you when applying to colleges, if they let you submit grades, definitely send them the number grade instead of the letter! also, some colleges might be able to tell you school weights things weird and they will reweigh them to their standards!!
Isabela Moore colleges know this because of your guidance counselor and they’re able to even out grades between all the schools they’re receiving transcripts from!
A 84 in my school is a C 😭
Hi I just wondering what your gpa was around if you don’t mind sharing that
Congratulations on everything by the way
What was your GPA?
You have excellent extracurriculars but that GPA and transcript would not get most folks into Duke! I keep telling my son it's in what you *choose* to do more than what you *have* to do!
did you go to Westminster? I go to Walton High School, but I have Westminster friends who always talk about Jan Term and everything
Yep! Ya we’re pretty known for janterm haha
Wow, AP Chinese!! Impressive!!! 中文确实比较难.希望你在大学能继续学习中文.
she is so fine
Smart and beautiful!
Where you top 5% or 10%?
Edit: Dont worry I was in the 400s out of 500 some kids my senior year
i am a student in canada，i dont know what is a honors class in US highschool？is it means ap？sorry just confused😭😭
My school has like no AP. I have good grades. Am I out of college?
Harvard has the happiness course :)
You are so beautiful 🥰🥰🥰
hey i was wondering if it's good to list your extracurriculars if they don't neccesarily relate to your major. for exmp: if i were in ballet, or in the school chorus but i want to study business or science?
Bethany Lake ya you should definitely list anything that was significant to you. I wasn’t involved in anything business related but applied for business schools so don’t worry about that
Mikaela Cherelle Thanks love💗
My school sucks because we are only offered 2 honors freshman year, 1 honors and 1 AP junior year. I think all English and history options are AP or honors junior year as well as 1 dual enrollment class. And then a few for senior year. The highest GPA you can get as a freshman and sophomore is a 4.3 basically and for that you have to get mostly A+ and take all honors and AP. It's so tough bc I have no service clubs but 1 and our sports are weak. Will this affect me getting into a good college?
The colleges you apply to receive a profile of your school that lists all of the AP courses you had available to you so they only consider you in the context of your school and what was offered there. Also, there’s a place where you can write additional information, so you can explain there why you couldn’t do many extracurriculars and stuff
@@MikaelaCherelle omg thank you so much that makes me feel a lot better!
What was your numerical GPA? i.e 3.8, 3.9?
Ishrat Jahan my school used a 100 point scale so it was 97 point something weighted but I think it’s a 3.8 if A is 4, B is 3, etc.
i calculated her uw gpa to be 3.8 and her w gpa to be 4.3
Yeah this terrifies me because your classes you dropped down to instead of the highest is the highest offered in my school
So what’s your gpa?
What high school did you go to?
lmaooo girl I have 2 D’s on my transcript
Did you get a curve in your honor and AP classes?
My overall GPA was weighted, but my individual grades were not curved.
why didn't you have pe?
We only have it for one semester freshman year for some reason
I’m a sophomore right now and I’m homeschooled. I’m really hoping to get into Georgetown. Freshman year I took honors lit and honors composition, government, geometry, and biology. I got all A’s and two A-‘s that year. This year I’m doing honors history, honors lit, honors chem, college astronomy, college Spanish 1, and philosophy. I have a’s and a-‘s except in chem I have a B. 😬 next year im going to take college bio, college anatomy, apush, honors lit, honors precalc, and idk what I’ll do senior year yet. I’m saying all this because I’m really nervous about getting into a good college. Do you think I have a chance at Georgetown? I haven’t taken the ACT yet but hopefully I’ll get something in the 30’s
And for extracurriculars I’m on varsity cross country, I started and am president of a Model UN club, and I teach piano to my siblings. Sorry to bother you with all this haha
👍🏽👍🏽
Are U a Chinese major?
No, I am a Marketing major but an intended Chinese minor.
Mikaela Cherelle I love China. Marketing seems vacuous to me, but I can see you occupying an important role negotiating Chinese business investments. I believe in stock markets, and the constant back and forth of tariffs (sometimes on, sometimes off, as DJT knows to do) to keep the economy running well, but my own intelligence automatically overrides any marketing gimmicks. I halfway absorb a marketing spiel, but mostly I use my own analysis to incorporate the marketing campaign for my own personal use, overriding it explicitly if necessary. You should get a political role. Be politically conscious, as it’s a big role in our economy. Take Poli-Sci classes. Get into a Pre-Law mindset. Help our economy improve friendly relations with China. I am sixty years old, by the way, part of a retiring Baby Boom, so I am in a position to contribute to the economy with my inheritance. Hope this helps. Have fun in school. Good luck!!
did you take any subject tests?
Kira Traylor ya! to most of my schools but I avoided it when possible cause I took like 5 but most were really bad so I only sent my 730 on chem and 720 on math
Did u send all your AP scores?
Hiya S yep I did!
How did you study for the SAT?
I used Khan Academy's free online SAT prep platform and 100% recommend!
So you chose Miami? No need to brag or anything ... Aha, okay, what's up, shut up 😉
Affirmative action lol
Are you stupid lmao her stats speak for itself
Root Bear Most of the universities she applied to were private I.e not affirmative action friendly
Cry
She seems like a bright gal, but it is very well known that gender and ethnicity get extra points for admission over a pale male. Asians are even more discriminated against than whites overall by this process.
