COLLEGE DECISION REACTIONS 2023 | Ivies, T20s, Northeastern + more | Engineering Student

Hey everyone, I'm Natalia! I just finished my senior year at a voc tech high school, studying Engineering & Robotics as my trade. I'm not gonna lie to you the college admissions process had me questioning everything about life for a good while but we pulled through. If anyone wants a stats + extracurriculars video or for me to read any of my essays then comment and I will do that I love talking about myself.
I applied to 13 schools as a mechanical engineering major, and the schools were mostly selected based on the strength of their engineering programs. Remember that everyone's experiences are different and nobody's worth is intrinsically tied to the institution they choose to attend.
Also no hate to Cornell it’s an awesome school! I think part of the whole process is being able to laugh at ourselves when things don’t work out. My intention isn’t to breed malice, good vibes everyone ;)

If she thinks Cornell is so bad why did she apply and now butt hurt about not getting in?

[@thenatrat]

Haha not at all! Cornell is an awesome school with a killer engineering program, I just knew it wasn’t for me. I actually have friends going there, and the jokes are just because of the little Columbia/Cornell New York schools rivalry.

@@jaypup3798​​⁠bro chill tf out can y'all not take a joke.. i literally go to a shitty state school and i was so proud of getting into college at all as a first gen, but i can just as well see all the absolutely glaring flaws of my school. and guess what? no one cares because no one roasts a school more than it's own students. yknow why? because they're the ones living it. every single school sucks in its own way, including the ivy leagues. people just don't talk about it as much. even students who love their schools (most don't though, or at least feel pretty neutral about it) still roast their own schools. some just do it every once in a while, some to high hell, and both are fine & normal. because the college /system/ is a scam, and we can all acknowledge it's huge problems without diminishing the sacrifices we ourselves made to get here. it's seriously not that deep. i understand where you're coming from, but at the same time i'm shocked that this was even something to be offended about in the first place
anyway great video natalia, and congrats on columbia! 🎉

[@thenatrat]

@@wormgfthanks, and I couldn’t have said it better myself! I’m first gen too so I’m just happy to be going to school at all lol
