This was very fun to do, Amy is cool AFFFF :D everybody that's in the process of applying to college, I'm rooting for you. It's gonna work out in the end, like everything does. Keep your head up and keep killing it!!!
dude you have a crush on amy
To anyone reading this comment
Hope you get into an ive league college and be able to achieve all your dreams.
May god give you a good life filled with happiness.
That’s so sweet ❤
They can achieve their dreams without attending a school in the Ivy League Athletics Conference.
Thank you, I hope you do too ❤
That's so sweet!!! 💗💗
Thank you❤
If the first 2 people got rejected, I’m so screwed 💀
I was literally crying on the inside watching this
I think it’s not that surprising after reading their essays. Sure their extra curricular activities r insane but their essays r so mid. After reading countless essays from top college, it’s not hard to believe. First one was fine but didn’t get a sense of who she is. Second one was just boring to read imo
It's so crazy what kids have to do to get into schools these days. I went to Duke and graduated in 2000. I had a 1450 SAT score, 3.8 unweighted GPA, I played JV volleyball for two years, and was the editor in chief of the high school paper. I also did some volunteer work in Boston, but that was it. And I also got into Colombia, Penn, and Cornell!
Agreed. my sister was a finalist in USAMO, first place in USABO, president of three clubs at school (founder of one of them) plus two clubs outside of school, capable of tutoring pretty much every subject, straight A's all four years of high school, 18 AP classes, 18 AP exams, pretty much all 5's except for 4's in APUSH and AP Chem. And she still got rejected from Princeton. That's not even close to everything she did either. Absolutely insane
Yeah it's unfortunate. While the students attending college are increasing, the available spots in colleges are not.
No duh. More applicants = more competitve
I'm still waiting for the "average" student.
What do you mean? These are average students
This is so mind-exploding, I can’t believe they were received so many rejections
Ikrrr!
@@wamyy5 Unfortunately, it's insanely difficult to get college in America these days (specifically Princeton), my sister was a finalist in USAMO, first place in USABO, president of three clubs at school (founder of one of them) plus two clubs outside of school, capable of tutoring pretty much every subject, straight A's all four years of high school, 18 AP classes, 18 AP exams, pretty much all 5's except for 4's in APUSH and AP Chem, and more, and still got rejected from Princeton even though she got into the top three ranked colleges in America that year (Harvard, Stanford, and MIT)
Let's honestly be real here: most of these acceptances (if they're even considered) are due to insane class ranks. If they were average or even slightly above-average students in their class, they wouldn't stand a chance against the admissions committees, which is something I feel like not a lot of people take into account. Yes, there is discrimination, but I feel like the people who deserve to get into the colleges they apply dissect everything they've learned in class (or more ideally, even have some previous background knowledge of it) and have wholeheartedly taken advantage of everything that's been given to them, as well as extracurriculars, even if some of their applications are pretentious af. I feel like people who put all the emphasis on a good essay are not looking at the big picture most of the time, and most of the rest is just filler with no substance.
@@clairejin1704do you have any other stats
Love the collaboration between Amy and Limmy, it's so insightful! Seeing the college admission process from this angle really highlights how unpredictable it can be. Even with top stats, rejections happen. It's a reminder to stay positive and keep pushing. kudos to the international students who manage to navigate this complex process. Amy and Limmy, your dynamic is great, making these tough topics more approachable and fun to watch. Keep up the awesome work!🌟
Thanks so much for your kind words and for watching our video! It was so much fun doing this with Limmy so I'm glad it showed :) We're really happy our efforts are helpful and you made excellent points that I hope students remember! :) Happy holidays!
Wow, I am surprised and extremely delighted to see this collaboration between Wamy and Limmytalks.
Yay! I'm so happy you enjoy because we're really excited about collaborating as well :)
For all incoming high school seniors/juniors, don't be too worried about your applications. I know there are some crazy applications out there, but tbh, most of the crazy stuff on the applications is either just exaggerated claims, like founded some small organization but making it sound huge, or just having a friend with a nonprofit organization and just ask em to give you a prestigious title within it. Of course, there are many amazing candidates out there, but the expectation to take so many AP classes, maintain a 4.0 GPA, and simultaneously found multiple nonprofits and win numerous awards is simply impossible.
I’d love to see a part 2! It’s really interesting to see different perspectives from the ones that are usually shown in college reaction videos.
Thank you for the suggestion! Yes, Amy tries her best to bring different high standard perspectives for you all here about college admissions and academics.
You can share this vlog with others as well so it reaches many, this way she'll be encouraged to make a part 2!
Stay blessed.
Glad you like it!! Hope we can get enough interest to do another one :)
Great video and totally relatable! I can’t believe the results. Actually just got my first ever rejection letter yesterday after being accepted to 6 schools straight with similar stats to the students in this video. College admissions are truly unpredictable. Thanks for posting and I really enjoy watching videos!
Peace be upon you, Giorgio.
First of all, congratulations on all the acceptances!

Ah sorry to hear that but yes, this video is just a reminder that rejections don't say anything about your potential! Thank you for watching and keep pushing!
Thank you so much, Limmy, for taking out the time for Amy's wonderful community! We value your contribution to Amy's content! It was refreshing to see a different style of vlog with Amy doing a lot of guessing, haha.
Given how much I have come to understand the US college admissions process for international students (undergrad) and mentoring them for it, my guesses were totally right about that international candidate. Internationals (especially from developing countries) have to put way more effort than an American citizen to get into top US colleges. In all honesty, you have to ace all areas (academics, standardized test scores, extracurriculars & awards spike/peak, essays) with ingenuity and be able to portray them on application in a highly memorable way, otherwise major major chances are that you just can't get into. Even if you are perfect in all these areas, but have mediocre letters of recommendation written for you by teachers, I have seen highly accomplished candidates being rejected even from a top number 1 private high school in a country other than US. Point is, you can't afford to lack in any area of college application. I am not saying it's very hard for an international to get into a top US college on financial aid, I am just saying that you'll have to work very smartly during high school and on college applications, way smarter and ingeniously. With the facilities you have already, you'll have to be very creative to decide how you're going to choose and pursue a chosen interest to pursue extracurriculars in. Remember that if you're an international who's applying to a top US college with financial aid, it's going to be more challenging for you to get in. I know of top US colleges who only admit one or 2 students per year in their undergrad program from a country like Pakistan or Bangladesh. It's that challenging for internationals. And one of the reasons for that depends on the very limited set quota they have for admitting international students. A US citizen who gets into a top US college won't really get the effort an international has to put to get into a top US college, especially if they are applying for financial aid too. You need to have a more stronger and memorable application if you're going for financial aid too. Let me give you an example, if the third candidate discussed was an international, high chances are that he would've been rejected by almost all the colleges listed. Hardly any content creators are talking about these tough realities for international students when it comes to top US college admissions , but these are realities and we need more voices out there guiding international students on these college admissions related topics too, and most importantly in the right manner.
Yes big thanks to Limmy! Super happy we got to do this and become friends as well. The power of creating on the internet :)
You got this, keep pushing
@@Limmytalks Thank you for replying, Limmy.
But was just trying to make a point when it comes to acceptances to top US college admissions for international students.

@@HumanHuman. alr thanks lol my grade just dropped from 99 to a 93 in algebra because i failed a test and im really sad because i never got an A+ in algebra before im still in middle school. i want desperately to get into MIT and im working really hard. is it still possible or should i just give up.
Amy please continue to post the math videos because it really help me to approach maths thankyou ❤
Great - will do! I'll be posting more math videos. Are you subscribed and have notifications on for my A+math channel?
Black students make about 7% of the total population in these Ivy League schools. Most of them major in non stem courses. The probability of these Asians getting denied is still high. There won't be a significant change in the acceptance rate. In fact, it'll be a big win for the smart black kids who'll take pride in their accomplishments without being labeled as beneficiaries of the system.
Exactly. Wouldn't you want to know that you got in because of your merits, not your race? And I can't imagine how shit it would feel to wonder if you got rejected purely based on factors you can't control.
Harvard and others came out immediately after the court decision and said that now they will be asking the applicants to write an essay to write about how race affected their identities, or upbringing, i am not sure it is a big win (unfortunately).
Can you bring more videos like these its giving me more insights.. ❤
Huhh wow I can't believe those two amazing kids at the start and the CS kids got rejected from great schools 😢 College apps really is THAT confusing... I'm an international Georgia Tech freshman but my application is nowhere near as impressive as theirs to the point that if I heard abt them last year I would get extreme impostor syndrome LMAO. Also great video Amy and Limmy, yall are so fun :D
Yes ikr! That's why I found this video so important to make and release despite most of my videos being study videos. I wanted to show that no matter what, hard work is still valuable, not because it will guarantee you results like college admissions, but that it will build the kind of human capital that will serve you no matter where you go! Congrats on Georgia Tech! Thanks so much for watching and glad you found it fun! :)
You forgot about Legacy Admission who get picked 1st. So you fought to get rid of Affirmative Action and still get upset. You keep wanting the name brand college. You can still get a job without going to name brand. It's more Asian Americans that are represented of people in color. Affirmative Actiom just didn't help Black people but White Women Hispanic people Native American and the disabled. You would have did better if you went to Legacy Students but I forgot they mostly White. You bet not do that but to continue to blame
I guess it became too obvious she was doing all these crazy extracurriculars just to get in. You don't have to do crazy things just find what your good at and do your best in it you don't have to have awards just have some few leadership roles or write an interesting essay or something.
Limmy is very funny and academic guy. Thanks for sharing

Aammyyyyy you looking a little too finneeeeee in this vid😍🤩
I was wondering if you could create videos featuring insane college acceptance stories specifically tailored for IB students. I really enjoy your content! ❤
Happy to know that you enjoy Amy's content! She really puts a lot of effort into creating top-notch content for you all here!
Thanks for the suggestion. From your vlog suggestion, I think you mean that a vlog featuring top US college acceptances of students who studied IB in high school, right? I understand that many viewers want to see top college acceptances examples where students studied qualifications in high school other than AP. Like you mention IB, or O Level/GCSEs, A Levels etc.
Thank you for being here in this wonderful community.

I'm so glad to hear! We really wanted to show the truth and different perspectives than other college admissions stories. Also, we wanted to provide our analysis but show that at the end of the day, college acceptances/rejections have many unknown factors but the person you are (work ethic, personality) will serve you regardless what school you attend.
@@wamyy5 Hey, Do you think it's fine if I don't have many honours and awards and mostly extracurriculars.
@@sarahreidwan7994 Peace be upon you.
When it comes to extracurriculars, they are interrelated to awards too. Like for example your extracurriculars might include science competitions, and so winning those will give you awards too. It would be great for your college application if you have awards too and you should try to get some, but if that's not possible then use other creative ways to achieve a spike/peak in a single chosen area of interest for your extracurriculars. To get into top US colleges, including Ivy League colleges, mainly you need to choose one area of interest to build a spike/peak in.
In a candidate's application, top US colleges are mainly looking for majority of the grades being A's or A+ (you can also win awards in your academics!), extracurriculars and awards that portray a spike/peak in a chosen area of interest, an excellent essay that is memorable, letters of recommendation from your teachers or counsellors etc. that highlight your positive personality traits and your extracurriculars spike/peak.
I highly recommend you to watch Amy's vlog 'Common App hacks to make ANYONE Ivy-worthy (+how to make a SPIKE)' and read my detailed pinned comment on it. (you can write this exact title of vlog which I mention in youtube search and you'll find it)
Stay blessed and feel free to ask any more questions.
@@wamyy5 it's true. I'm currently a freshman in an Indian curriculum and your videos help me so much!
Hi! I’m here for some advice.I want to follow my passion and do something that I like and meaningful (doing extracurriculars);however,if I do so there’s a gamble,it may shift my focus with my current schoolwork and it may even lower my grades.Hope Amy could answer this.Thank you!
When there are ten applications and only one can be accepted- with all of them qualified- there will be many rejected. Hopefully the result will be a class / group that will insure true diversity that will benefit all the students college experience.
That is actually crazyyyyy
Peace be upon you.

I was a hard addictive gamer( apex predator if you know what that means) and work from 1.88 GPA, to now 3.95 UW, and 4.8W, 41/45 for IB, I am currently also applying CS in ivies, but US citizens, this video really blow my mind of who get to admit to ivy schools….
At least it make me have some hope to get admitted haha
Wake up!!!

Hello Amy! 💜
I'm fine, thank you! 💜
And what about you?
😸
Where did you get the essays from aren’t these confidential content?
As an indian, yes please do a video on how to do extracurricular even if you're broke
why are these uni's so strict. i got in one of the best uni's in the netherlands (the best in food science and forestry in the world and im currently doing food science) and I didnt have any of these crazy stories and my classmates don't either.
You’re right. Universities on the western side are crazy and aren’t worth it.
Now that i watch this, i regret not applaying just because i got a low SAT (1320)
Repeating classes is a big business so, they pick the students most likely to repeat classes or attend longer.
Interesting! Nice wAmy
I was like “that guy in the thumbnail looks so familiar” and then I realized that I’ve been watching him (Limmy) on TikTok doing college app reviews omg hahaha

Aw you're so sweet! I love BLACKPINK :) Thanks for watching!
It's not insane. From a humanistic perspective the person doing better grade wise doesn't need to go to a great school to succeed. Their thinking is to help the one that doesn't do well compared, so that in life they have a better chance to achieve.
blud if that girl got rejected from the ivy leagues, I'm getting rejected from my safety schools...
hi my question is not related to the topic but ill ask it anyways
is it ok to lisn to music while doing maths ?
Peace be upon you.
You are more than welcome to ask questions here in this wonderful community related to academics, extracurriculars, US college admissions, productivity advice etc. The questions you ask, you never know someone else might have those same questions and when they see the answer reply to your questions, they'll know the answers too! How interesting is that!
I would recommend that you listen to peaceful & calming sounds related to nature like that of forest sounds, raining, gentle sounds of rustling leaves l, a flowing stream, etc. Such sounds are easily available on the internet and see if you can focus and enjoy Mathematics while listening to them. High chances are they'll probably help you for other positive activities too, like exercise or studying any other subject or just to think positive. To keep ears safe, make sure to keep the volume in limit, use good headphones/earphones that protect ear health and don't use headphones/earphones for too long. You can also just listen on speaker.
Hope this helps.

@@HumanHuman. "Friend of Amy" is giving cult energy lol anyway, good job being a moderator
correct my conclusion if i'm wrong but we now know there's no rhyme or reason as to why one student gets chosen over another? meaning, there aren't any universal acceptance requirements and whether you get in or not depends solely on if the person who read your 'resume' likes it more than others?
makes more sense to follow the mr. beast method (start a yt channel to build customer base, launch businesses, use revenue from both to engage in philanthropy). no degree necessary to achieve success and make a difference.
There are some basic requirements for sure that US top colleges look for in a candidate's application to whom they are considering to admit.
When it comes to extracurriculars, to get into top US colleges, including Ivy League colleges, mainly you need to choose one area of interest to build a spike/peak in.
In a candidate's application, top US colleges are mainly looking for majority of the grades being A's or A+, extracurriculars and awards that portray a spike/peak in a chosen area of interest, an excellent essay that is memorable, letters of recommendation from your teachers or counsellors etc. that highlight your positive personality traits and your extracurriculars spike/peak.

Hi! Yes there are a lot of unknown factors but there are still known things you can do to increase your chances. Most important thing is to be building your own human capital to be able to do things like build your own business later! However, I want to be cautious about recommending entrepreneurship and content creation because they are not for the faint of heart. You must be extremely dedicated, hard working, innovative, luck etc. Thus, education is a more stable way to a good future.
thanks for y'alls input.. i guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. 1. academic institutions are looking for something other than academics and they won't tell us what that is, and they're all different so unless you have inside knowledge you'll never know how to stand out in the eyes of your desired university 2. if you can get into an ivy league school you can probably start a yt channel, so does it really make more sense to spend 4 years and 100k on a degree when you could devote that to a channel/videos that will last like virtual monopoly property the rest of your life? IMHOP i don't think so. :^}
@@_xBrokenxDreamsx_ thanks for your perspective! I think you would be surprised at how it takes something drastically different inside you to get into an Ivy League vs start a YT channel. Many people who get into Ivy Leagues need to be good in school as a baseline where that’s mostly following instructions laid out for them while Yt channels require more self-sufficient direction and proactiveness. I say this out of my own experience and knowing many creators and Ivy League students myself
@@wamyy5 i don't know what it takes to get into the ivy league because they won't tell us :). YT is pretty diverse.. i mean, there are carpet cleaners that upload videos of their day jobs who make more than ivy league grads; at least in monetary terms a fancy degree doesn't seem to be what pays off long term. anyway, i'm really glad you're on YT now and not trying to get another degree.

Question why you want to get into an Ivy league. Honestly, there's very little reason unless you want to do specific courses that are significantly better (eg Harvard law, or engineering at MIT (I know it's not an Ivy league but just another example)). If you really need to, also ask yourself why you want to go right out of high school when a lot of poeple have better success going to smaller colleges like community college first then get into Ivy schools easily. My advice: just enjoy high school while you still can and don't worry about the stress of these top tier schools. As long as you get into a good school that's all that matters. Do you really want that debt on your shoulders? I don't live in America which is why I can sit here as a voice of reason. I know that if I did, I would be aspiring to get into one of these schools. But I sit here from someone where uni is solely based on grades, and there's no insane culture like the US. Stop. Breathe. And work out what's going to be the best for you.

I think some students who submit via Limmy’s form don’t include their essays!
@@wamyy5 Gotcha! Thanks!
Limmy’s so red here
We math students a robots. Why do people usually think we are cold blooded Robot.
Can you help me develop a study system that works for me?

Mostly the headline fact that shocked me was probably how the average student gets accepted in not 1, not 2, but 3 Ivy League Schools. Thanks for your well wishes this video was great, and in my mind could be no better.@@HumanHuman.
Ikrrr!
I appreciate your compliments and feedback so much!@@queen.abc.
yaasss!@@wamyy5
Did you know chai is tea in Hindi? And in India, people like tea more than their food.😁😁
I agree, her essay did not talk about herself, and also two much non profit, not sure if she can have time to be a high school students who enjoy her high school, not good candidate for me
Welp I’m fucked Junior with 2 extracurriculars and like nothing in school I have like a 2.7 I’m fucked why even fucking try
Hey amy
Peace be upon you.
Are you new to this channel?
Hiii!
Im sorry but limmy, can you see anything?
Ok
Amy is cool, but didn't you do a video with "P" that you were rejected by stanford and later find put that precher P was not a student there neither? Also you mentioned about the Harvard's and the stanfords? Why mention that. I know a couple of student personally. They attend stanford and they are low income. So there not rich at all, but will be someday, also by the way there not Asian, like mentioned on other videos by you Amy. So it's not about how students live now, ita about all the effort work and details in life that are done. Just nit a given pr a list of have toos. So please just don't talk to make videos. Talk what is true. You attend Cal tech, that one very huge university. Alot of students only wished to attend cal tech and don't. So don't make life miserable and take advantage of the opportunities you have in hand. Apologies for any offense but it is offense when mentioned that a student comes from a rich family in order to attend stanford ot Harvard.
Thanks for your comment and for watching my videos! I think you’re misunderstanding several things. Anything related to income or other opinions about college admissions I state are all based on extensive research and talking with experts
Firsttttttttt pin pls?
I can explain how they do all this… they don’t. They’re liars.
Prove it ?
I am soo early
Yesss thanks for being here!
1st ! 💙
Glad to know Amy's viewers are so enthusiastic for her new content that they tune in so early for it!
Let Amy know what aspect you liked about this vlog and do consider sharing it with others as well!
Stay blessed.
Yayyyy so fast!

thats so real
“average student” stop the clickbait.
an average student is one that gets A’s and B’s, doesn’t get above a 1300 on the SAT, has only a few extracurriculars.
profile 3 was average in EC’s, but their test scores made up for it. So they are not average. The “average students” TH-camrs like you are showing are above average. stop giving hope to students who are ACTUALLY average. i hate click-baiters. thought you were better than this, obviously not.
Hi! I appreciate you for taking the time to watch the video and share your thoughts. I spend a lot of time and effort on my thumbnails and titles (maybe too much haha) to ensure more students receive valuable insights, and we landed on this title for several reasons:
- As explained in many of my past college admissions videos, typically to be considered for admission into top universities, students need to meet a (soft) threshold for stats such that they can handle the academics. Since there are significantly more students that meet those thresholds than students who can be admitted, then it comes down to ECs, essays, etc., hence in our assessment here, we're supposing she's "average." That is, to optimize for the students who are already working so hard and still feel they're not enough, the combination of this "average" student + showing the stellar students who didn't get into top schools can help assure students that if they're trying their best, they don't have to be so stressed and pressured.
- Relating to the above and as mentioned in the video, we see the stress and extreme amounts of pressure on students nowadays in college admissions. If we could reveal the truth with real results to as many students as possible (increasing reach with a more clickable title), then more people would get the value within the video. This increases chances that we reach even that one kid who really needs to know that they are already amazing and one college decision doesn't define their potential. At least, I know I would've found a video like this extremely helpful.
- Finally, the ambiguity of average is why we added the "?!" at the end since people's definition of average is subjective (Limmy's comment "I already know people are going to comment she's not average!"). Similar to point 1, people may consider an average student to have good stats and subpar ECs or to have subpar stats and good ECs. We want to show that as evident from the college admissions results, there is no definite "stellar" nor "average" in the eyes of the officers, not when there are so many other factors at play. Thus, even a student who thinks they're "average" (regardless of what that means to them) should still shoot their shot. Students with lesser stats can still get in if they have an outstanding story!
P.S. I'm always open to title suggestions if you have any that can help meet the above goals! We were debating whether this title or one that was more negative (like about the first two students) would help reach more people. Titles are tough :)
Peace be upon you.
From your comment, it's clear that you are not aware of the content of this channel, otherwise you wouldn't have rushed to such an incorrect conclusion about the owner of this channel.
I would encourage you to explore the content of this channel first, then reach a conclusion. And that's a lesson for life too, please reach a conclusion once you have the full picture in front of you.
And Amy has been really open regarding her struggles in her content.
Also, people who post clickbaits don't go out to reply in such detail with kindness to a comment like you posted. That's alone enough to show you how genuinely kind Amy is and she is here to guide students with all honesty.
We welcome you to this amazing community and we hope you see the reality and shift your perspective!
Stay blessed.
@@wamyy5 i appreciate your reply.
i am new to your channel and saw this video and was reminded of other clickbait ivy league average student videos.
i will watch more videos of yours you seem like a nice person.
sorry for my comment.
Please stop fooling yourself dude. Duke is not longer that prestigious. Schools like UCLA or USC is ever more sought after than Duke these days.
He’s pretty arrogant
who finds this interesting? not me!
Keep your disgusting negative comment to yourself 😇
Limmy + Amy? 🛳️
That thing about those third-world countries having not as many resources is so true 🥲 Been trying for the last 2 years to work around that, but have no idea if it's working
