How does my 12th boards certificate have to be sent to the school I finally get into? My coordinator is handling the mid year report, but I'm not sure how to go about with the final one..
I enjoy how fluent and articulate you are with expressing yourself. There is almost a rhythm. I would really appreciate it if you made a video about tips on being an effective speaker :) In different scenarios including being put on the spot
Before watching this video i thought that I have no extracurricular but after watching i realize that I am really passionate about cooking experimenting new recipes and I have the curiosity to learn something new thank you so much
It really helps how you elaborate everything in a very precise way. Sometimes information are scattered but your videos always come in rescue. Thanks and I really hope that your channel grow....... Really love it and of course extracurricular play a major role!!!
You literally just said everything I was actually thinking about extracurriculars from past two weeks. And I came across so many videos where the student has achieved many different awards and that made me feel that whatever I am thinking in wrong. But after watching your video I'm motivated, inspired and now I know whatever I was thinking was completely correct. Thank you so much Didi🌸
It's a humble request from my side that you consider making a video on how to brainstorm and find your real passion!!!! Please, this the thing I am struggling from a long time
My major extracurricular activity is finding answers for questions. Random questions from social, political, financial or scientific pov. For eg. In search of one such answer I realized a thing that laws (a major portion) are made to restrict freedom. Why? Because freedom to do everything is chaotic. For eg. land disputes can be brought to court for a limited period of time (say 20 yrs) after the dispute. Because allowing infinite options will create chaos in judiciary. Citizens are allowed only licensed weapons in most countries. Why? Because everyone with weapons in their hand will make the world explosive.
Unfortunately, my school is more engaged in academics rather than having a little extracurriculars or taking part in great competitions. I'm in class 12 Sci & have a deep desire to go to great schools in the US. And therefore, thinking of developing my own extracurricular in the coming year. I am passionate abt singing, so, will soon have my own TH-cam channel, will also join a Charity Club or an NGO, and will b tutoring. This is what am thinking of. I'm not getting any extra ideas but I really want to use my passion in music in a creative way bt don't know what 😓 Coz I think, this is not enough to make my profile strong.
@@gurleendhillon9106 No, I haven't given up on this idea. Due to covid , our board exams are pending so still focussing on board exam for now. I don't think, I will be able to do my undergrad abroad due to current situation. May be masters or will take transfer in 3rd-4th year.
@@nayanabaruah4423 did you do any co-curricular during this time, did you prepared for any of JEE and NEET examination? Then whats your plan ahead? I hope you will reply.
@@nayanabaruah4423 I am currently in 11th and I have no idea of what kind of extra curricular I can do...but I am trying to figure out something Btw what are ur plans after boards and what are you planning to study ? I would love to hear from you
I never seen any youtuber with 30K+ subs, have a close connection like this, with its viewer. Its really tough for a Harvard student to post videos on youtube at a frequency like this. Doing great! Keep it going! Any way, can you please make a video on Study Abroad consultancy, & do you taken one?
Thank you! Do you mean a video on options for consultancies? I had a wonderful school counsellor so I didn’t have to, but I can always recommend a few if you’re interested :)
16:35 Improving people's mental state. Helping them be more positive. Holding hand and telling a cancer patient that you look great, my father was in a way worse condition and he went to Ladakh last month. Repairing my friend's old laptop. Getting rejected from a girl to a proposal from one every month. Teaching how to punch to the 5yo girl next street. Comparing my stamina of running 20m and panting for 5 min to running 5km and gasping for a moment. And... . . . . . . . . . . . . Punching a bag. That's pretty much it.
Please make a video on 'How to find your passion?', I have not been able to find it since a year, There is also one more problem that I have been suffering from a year which is sometimes I feel I love this but after a while I feel, no I love this. How to stop these thoughts and stick to one thing? Btw, this video really helped a lot. Thankyou so much for taking up the advice. Love from Haryana♥️
@@shivamgiri27 Its just so sad to see people begging for views. Reminds me of street dogs coming near you wagging their tails just for a piece of bread
Ur are a real inspiration to me . And i thing for everybody....ur are always guiding and that's helping everybody and me too..i too wanna get admission in harvard...and u are helping me soo much...u are always there to guide...thank you...ur are amazing...😊😊😊😊😍
I didn't try to get into harvard by structuring my hobbies( I had so many) but I ended up finding out what my real passion is by stumbling across harvard unexpectedly and discovering more about the college and just attempting to write points for my essay. Sometimes, if u can't find the answer by solving the question, u might end up finding a whole new question by discovering an answer u weren't trying to find :)
Hey thank you for making this video.. my question is- Is it important to get a certificate or we can just share our experiences in the application? (Through social media, etc..) I know this question is very basic but quite important to me and I’d be really happy if you could just answer this briefly 😄 Btw I really enjoy your videos and you’re also an excellent singer! “I smoke, I drink and gamble” video was one of the amazing videos that I’ve ever seen! 💕💕
This video was so helpful for information and also improved my motivation and helped me to understand why I'm doing these for me or for the college (?). Thank you so much!!! ❤️
Avanti you're a true inspiration to me. I have somewhat started to figure out the things I love and care about after watching your Harvard vids. I have watched dozens of videos abt Harvard and related things but none of them gave me what I was looking for but your tips are just great and what's more important is that I can connect to vids Thanks!
Thanks for your words at first I thought I was useless and can't make it, but when you talked about it, that made me so clear that yes I too did many things Thanks really appreciate your efforts 👍
your chances to get into Harvard might have increased because you are an American citizen. Only 5 Indian students are taken every year making the competition really tough.
I agree - my year there were 4 of us :) but citizenship doesn’t actually matter except for financial aid, because you are still considered an international student. They base it off of where you went to high school!
Hey, your guidance really means and help me a lot. You really solve our doubts so gracefully. Now I'm in 11th standard and planning to apply for colleges in abroad and thinking to pursue law with LSAT. Also I'm a writer, I write poems so is it a good idea to do graduation in English. And can you also make a video in distinguing colleges in different areas or fields or scopes. Thanks for all your guidance..😊💕
should I put marching band as my extracurricular for ivy league, bc I was the first ever female drummer at my school and even in my region girls don't participate as a drummer.
Hi Avanti, thank you so much for these videos! I'm in 9the grade and I'm planning to opt for humanities in my 11 and 12 grade.I also hope to get into Harvard for my college. So could you brief me some tips that I should follow right from now so that I can achieve my dreams. It would be really nice of you😊
Develop interests. Either academically or non-academically. For eg. I am a science undergrad but I like to learn about historical archaeology. So anything I do for that is my extra curricular but it is still academic. Now I also love to play badminton more than cricket or any other game and that's one of my non-academic EC. For this you need to do things, if you like it and you can do it for a good amount of time, that's your subject of interest. Reading autobiographies is a good way to be aware of various avenues.
I must say you are really an inspiration to me! Nd whenever I wander from my passion, your video takes me a second to get up, nd just follow my own world, really really you are great as a person nd as an inspiration! Thanks a lot ❤🌟
I just love nature, art, and editing (both video and audio). So I am thinking about starting a TH-cam channel about some plants information.All about their morphology , taxonomy etc. So can I use this as extra curricular.

My question:-whatever you have said how did you proved it to them....like, taking my e.g. I have done many street plays to spread awareness among people about many things!! So how do I PROVE THIS IN MY ADMISSION FORM??
I want to go to Harvard badly....but I can't afford that much fee and the residence fee too...what should I do....and my parents also are not interested in this... please help me.. please answer my question....I am so passionate for Harvard and after seeing you I can't control myself to go to Harvard...so please answer my question

It's a humble request from my side that you consider making a video on how to brainstorm and find your real passion!!!!
Please, this the thing I am struggling from a long time
Oh ,yes i need this too
Oh btw the worst advice that i was given to find passion was to try everything ,you can do the same too it may work out for you
You are like a sister, we can ask you anything and it feels so good.
I am in love with your accent!
My major extracurricular activity is finding answers for questions. Random questions from social, political, financial or scientific pov. For eg. In search of one such answer I realized a thing that laws (a major portion) are made to restrict freedom. Why? Because freedom to do everything is chaotic. For eg. land disputes can be brought to court for a limited period of time (say 20 yrs) after the dispute. Because allowing infinite options will create chaos in judiciary. Citizens are allowed only licensed weapons in most countries. Why? Because everyone with weapons in their hand will make the world explosive.

I am here for IELTS tutor! Avanti mam!
Do we have to show proof of what extracurriculurs we've done?
e.g. what I spent most of my time other than studies in high school was (still is) talking to random frustrated people; basically just listening, no advice, no judgement, no thoughts, just listening to their problems and giving them a hand of support, which in the long run helped them a lot (even to my surprise) and that's something which made them and myself very happy. To me, maybe happiness isn't the right word but "PEACE".
Now, of course I don't have a proof of something like that. I could record a testimonial of a few people but that won't be so good, I believe.
