Really helpful advice, got admitted as an ED student and will be attending this fall! #UR2023 🐝💙
what was yor sat score?
I used to be like a perfectionist too, and it has been so liberating snapping out of that.
I stopped focussing on the 1 or 2 % on standardized tests and grades and all that.. and I ended up writing one of my college applications on wanting to fail as many times as I could.
Thanks so much for all your advice David.
I never thought of accepting the fact that I didn't have time for an assignment; I always thought that teachers would be angry at that. I'll try that the next time I am just too stressed and can't complete everything.
My thought was that to be able to apply and be admitted to an Ivy League school you had to be a perfect student academically. Thank you for the insight and reality about that very often wrong image.
Great message. great tip that is somewhat counterintuitive but definitely valid
Great advice! It really makes you feel better about everything.
This helps so much, and is very refreshing to hear! I will definitely share this with my classmates as well. Especially junior year, we were too into becoming a letter grade that sometimes we forgot to take care of ourselves. We'll have to work hard while remembering to focus on our passions as well senior year ^_^
I don't usually come across videos that would actually help! they seem a bit a pretentious all the time, but this one.. thanks man! you're great!
Great advice! I once used to think you had to be a perfectionist to get into Ivies.
Very insightful, Thanks David!
Great insight, so true!
Incredibly insightful
I love the message. I agree, colleges want to see authentic people, not perfect robots.
This is super helpful! Thank you
You're very welcome. Happy to help.
Thank you, David.

1:30 Yes, many professors, even teachers in High School, are open to this. It is a good point, but also one that should be relied on infrequently of course: only when you need it, when it is really necessary. This should be kept in mind, as mistakes can be made either way, and you do not want to abuse a privilege that is extended to you.

3:30 True. Just as the greatest trees are the ones that grow in the forest, along, and in competition with, other trees, not rather the ones that grow in the middle of a sunny field.
thank you so much.
higher sense of purpose. yo man, you told my mantra of life!!
hey, David thanks a lot for the video. it was so relieving to hear this...
I just have two more years to complete school and frankly, I do not have much of achievements to show (academically or otherwise) and since schools here in India don't have many clubs or things like that i don't even see any possibility to prove myself in the field of talent or in extra-curricular...so can I get some advise on that
lovely.
