EDIT: WHERE DID I COMMIT?? here's the video;) th-cam.com/video/BalnaB-7I4A/w-d-xo.html Hi everyone!!! make sure to like, comment and subscribe because supplemental essays + where i'm going for college videos will be uploaded soon!!!! lmk if there's anything you want to see :)))
Would you say that your activities at the school level were valued a bit more because you attended UwC (if I'm not wrong), a school that is globally recognised for it's academic and extracurricular excellence.? Or would an int'l student who came from a School that the AO's don't know about will be considered at par?
I'm not really too sure but I think that the reputation of UWC really did help out my application. However, as I noted in the video, quite a few of my activities were not-school based and I did have some recognition externally (i.e. I was internationally recognised in MUN). Moreover, your university counsellor at school does send over a school report to the AOs when you apply to that university to introduce the school so don't worry if your school doesn't have the same reputation!
@@yashthetrash Alright, thank you so much for taking the time to reply. Congratulations on your admit! Would you mind explaining what the counselor is supposed to add in that report? My school doesn't have a university counselor.
I’m interested in applying for internships. Could you give me some advice for how to ask for these internships and what to put in my emails? Also how did you find people to ask for internships? Thanks!
Congrats btw!! Question, what amount of free time did you have? This is not intended to be offending but i always assume ppl that work for getting into Ivy League to like "have no life", you must spend so much time for just studying n stuff I mean it's definetly worth it tho but i just wonder, you know
Hey what majors did you apply to at all the schools??! You mentioned STEM and humanities depending on the uni.....spill the tea!! You seem like you have many spikes of interest, so did you apply to a different major at Stanford than at Amherst?
bahahhaa I applied mostly for Philosophy, Biochemistry and IR/PPE but yes I did have a spike in Philosophy and Human Rights Studies!! Subscribe;) I have a college spike video that I'll be making soon!
I see that you have taken quite a lot of online courera courses. I am currently a freshmen and I am also taking some courses from Edx, would it be worth it to pay the $50 for a certificate? would the admission officers actually care about the certificate? Or would it be OK if I just tell them that I have finished these courses..?
bahhaha bro watch the video,, i didn't submit any scores lol as for the GPA, my school doesn't calculate that so my universities only saw my academic transcript from G9-12
I certainly wasn’t an Ivy League candidate when i applied, but I also took Algebra 2 as a freshman and received a similar grade. I don’t think it had a large impact on my acceptances (and i got into decent schools, i.e Northeastern and USC Honors College) because my math grades improved significantly after that and I got a 5 on AP Calculus, showing improvement. If your extracurriculars are standout and you do well going forward (and also show creativity and initiative on the essay portions of the application) you could still get in pretty much anywhere you want
Do you think the AOs valued the online courses that you mentioned significantly? Because I haven't had the chance to attend summer programs but I too have taken courses from Udemy, Coursera etc.
I really don't think that the majority of my schools even saw the Coursera courses in my application but I just put it there in case they did see it as the courses show long-term academic investment and personal empowerment in the sense that I went beyond school to learn more about my interests.
Heyy I’m an international student aiming to apply for US universities. Is there a way I can reach you to send over my stats/ECs for you to look over because I kinda have a vague understanding of where I stand.
Hi! I don't think that I would be able to tell you where you stand because I'm not a counsellor :(( I don't really want to give you the wrong advice hahaha, sorry!!
Definitely do future videos on your Penn essays and how to structure your commonapp as well as how you're picking classes at Penn!!!
yes! coming soon:)))
YA I LOVE MY IB students. They keep looking at us like we’re crazy but they don’t know what the hell we gotta go through
most stressful program ever

@@jasmannsingh5341 me too ! My school doesn’t have any counselling or reputation . I am from CBSE .
@@ananyapandeyrollno-0689 That's completely alright, it won't be a major disadvantage at all.
Congrats on getting into these amazing schools! Do you have any tips for IGCSE students or just studying tips in general?
i'll be making studying tip videos soon:))) i already have an IB guide on my channel if you need it!

I have straight A’s in my IGCSE and a very good IB score but my high school transcript isn’t very good. Will it affect my ivy admissions?
please i'm struggling to maintain my IB ~40/45 and you did 41/42 with 4 HLs and HL MATH AND ITS NOT EVEN OUT OF 45 I--
BAHAHHAHA noooo you got this! a 40/45 is a mad competitive score so don't worry:))
I think all these schools are just not truly test optional, if you took sat it would have increased ur chances.
What was your predictive score in IB out of 45?
penn '25 here!!! would love to be friends with you :))) I'm also british
stOP that's so cool! i think you already follow me on instagram BAHAHHA just shoot me a DM!!!
Hello mr Mahajan, can I ask you sth ? Like the art portfolio you submitted, did you design all that ?

@@Josh-os4qk BAHAHAHA sorry I don't reply immediately lol,, ofc we recycle at home
What was your gpa and SAT and Act
bahhaha bro watch the video,, i didn't submit any scores lol as for the GPA, my school doesn't calculate that so my universities only saw my academic transcript from G9-12
Where the fuck do y'all find the time to do all this shit? 😭😭 No offense I'm just curious
Hey! For the coursera classes, do you have to buy the certificate to prove that you took the class, or can you just say that you completed the class?
i just said I completed the coursera courses and (I think?) my school counsellor wrote about these courses in her letter of recommendation
Did you work with any college admissions consulting companies?
hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii this is amazing
Fuck me did u spend your entire life doing extracurriculars holy shit.
Congrats though man, hard word pays off
Hey I am international student in SG! Did u find internship opportunities in singapore or US? And what colleges did u send the email
How coke u took coordinated science instead of separate? Maybe that was the only problem with ur school grades lol. But all A*s super impressive
Hi! I am a freshman in high school and i was i’m wondering if i get a 79, C in Algebra 2 which i am 2 years ahead in will that affect my chances?

Sir, Penn state isn't in the ivy league

UPenn and Penn State are different things; UPenn is in the Ivy League, while Penn State is not!
