- It helped me so much to see other people's processes and just the exact times and dates they got their decisions, so I thought why not contribute for next year's seniors to help them in the way class of 2020's videos helped me. Again this is in no way to brag, if anything it is to show that even if you have one bad year grades-wise, or don't take all of the AP classes offered, you can still get into your dream school there's always a chance! Good luck to everyone in the future :)

this makes me feel so much better about next year seeing someone with similar grades and not all As necessarily. I feel better about actually getting into a good college
I'm so so glad! That's my full intention in posting this. I scraped by with low C's my sophomore year and I never made straight A's besides freshman year. You can still accomplish what you want without those perfect grades it just means working extra hard in other places :)
@@BluRayBeyondHD I NEEDED THIS I got the worst grades of my life sophomore year, 2 Cs and I’m really worried that this is ruin my chances for top schools
@@wolf3276 how did college apps go for you...i am in the same position as you
Yo I’m in the same positions. Got straight A’s senior year so far.
I LOVE YOUR FATHER lol he’s so funny and supportive
HAHA HE SAYS THANKS
"who has time to wait for North Carolina?" THIS MAN IS GOLD
Your dad, 😂😂 what a trip!! He is too funny !! Congrats on all of your acceptances!! You have a bright future ahead!!
Your voice is so satisfying and comforting 😭
this video is so comforting thank you for doing this
I love how positive your beginning was❤
Barely came across your vid 8months later , awesome that you went temple. I’m barely at my first year at Villanova , so it was crazy to see how many people decided to go to school in Pennsylvania.
This brings me so much more ease I’m a senior this year I’m so scared we have the exact same gpa😭
one of the more entertaining college decisions vids.
I love your stream hope the best for you in 2021 Stay safe Hope that you get through it Praying for you
Ok so I'm a lil late to the party, but You're so fun, your dad is funny as hell, and you should definitely keep recording videos, especially now that you're going to school (Hopefully brown accepted you eventually)
OMG, your dad is HILARIOUS! :D
I love u for this you really calmed me down
congrats girl!
(you are stunning af ma'am)
Thank you!!!
Omg, I somehow was recommended your video and I think I remember you from Temple’s admitted students event hahaha congratssss girl!! 🥰

This made me feel 1000x better for my apps

ty!
This video has calmed my nerves. I applied to pitt with a 3.884 gpa and without test scores and the internet told me I had to have a 4.0 to even get a chance. This makes me feel better.
I didn’t get into Pitt main 😭 but I got to Johnstown campus and I actually really like it
Congratulations
I love your dad 😭😭
He's a goofball hahaha
Your intro is so cute!
Thank youuu :)
Congrats !! Happy for u ! I have a 3.5 gpa too as well I didn’t apply to as many UCs as u did but I made a video too lol I love watching these 😊!! I’m a transfer student and I’m waiting to hear back from UCs our DONT come out till end of this month 😨😭😭😭
Ahhh that's so stressfulllll! Good luck!!
Did you get in to the college of your choice?
when you apply to college is your first semester of senior year also included, or only junior year grades? also this makes me feel better about getting into a good college I'm a incoming junior with a 3.6 unweighted and 4.2 weighted. :)
If you're applying early to schools, your senior year grades first semester likely will not make the cut even, so what you have by the end of your junior year will probably be what is used for your early applications..for regular decision schools you'll send your first semester grades, and on occasion for waitlists you might be asked for your end of the year grades. Great that you're starting your research so early, good luck to you! :)
@@BluRayBeyondHD thank you sm
Me too!!
Omg I loved this video! Do you mind sharing a few of your ecs? Or at least were you really involved in school activities and things like that?
Yeah! I was involved in a volunteer group outside of school which connected aneurotypical teens with neurotypical ones to simulate social situations to ease the transition into public high schools and middle schools, I testified to D.C. City Council in support of a bill pertaining to sexual assault policy in D.C. public high schools, testified in front of Congress for a similar event, interned at Break the Cycle and represented the organization as a public speaker on many panels for all of high school. I played lacrosse JV and Varsity, a couple more clubs that were actually in school are scattered around in there, some summer non-profit business startup and creative writing programs and some writing publications. There's prob a bit more in the resume but that's too much to just leave out here
@@BluRayBeyondHD wow that’s all amazing! You deserve going to a great school!! Will you ever make a video about this going more into detail?
@@user-ii6yq9jn1q Ahh I don't think soooo but if you want I can send you my resume DM me on instagram @bluraybeyondhd
@@BluRayBeyondHD just requested
@@user-ii6yq9jn1q don't think it went through I dont see oneee can you try again?
do you have advice for extracurriculars?? because all I focus on is school and then hw i don't have time for anything else and I don't know if that would be a dealbreaker for colleges if I don't do anything :/
I think it's never too late to get involved in some activities! Try joining as much as you can handle (only things you actually care about of course) and use the additional information section on your Common App to explain why you might not have been as involved in activities vs. actual school! :) Hope that helps good luck to you!
congrats!!! did you have a bunch of extracurriculars in your applications?? i’m applying in the fall for a few schools and i’m worried my own ecs aren’t enough lol!!
Yeah I def think what I lacked in grades was made up for (at least somewhat) in ecs there's still tons of time for you to make an impact on your community this summer though you got this!
Hello! I'm currently in my sophomore year of Highschool, and Im worried I wont be able to get into a good college, any tips on how to get into a good college with maybe a 3.7-3.9 gpa?\
I'm a current senior almost done with my application cycle and got into 2 safeties and 1 competitive school so far (with a good chance of getting into more competitive schools). Firstly, that gpa isn't bad but as a sophomore you still have plenty more opportunities to raise it, and I'd say the biggest one is taking AP classes (particularly of subjects you're interested in/related to the major you hope to pursue). Colleges really care about your weighted gpa (which comes from AP classes); basically in an AP class getting an A bumps your gpa above 4 and a B puts it at 4. Beyond gpa, do plenty of extracurriculars, don't be afraid to try new things! You'll make friends and be doing something (hopefully) fun/to your interest. It would also be worthwhile to do "nontraditional" extracurriculars like beekeeping or something idk (but make sure it's something you're actually interested in and not just for show) or starting something on your own (like a fundraiser/campaign/social protest or online store --- but again make sure you're interested in it). All these things will build up your "story," let colleges know who you are. Lastly (this is for when you're actually applying), don't be afraid to get as much help and feedback on your application essays as possible (parents, english teachers, counselors, etc.) and make sure they're unique/creative and represent you the best you can. Hope this helps and good luck!
Ma'am, you're giving me hope... LOL
lmaooo
please let me see someone with a 3.3 make one of these
Are you from NC? Like did you apply to UNC Chapel Hill as an in-state student?
I'm from DC, so I applied to UNC out of state
what’d you get on your act or sat????
Nice job! Quick question what was ur SAT score?
1120 haha I did not submit it to any of the schools
@@BluRayBeyondHD for UMD, if someone were to get a 1280 fo you think he/she should submit
@@alisiddique8802 It's hard to say. I'd say in state that's probably safe but I'm definitely not an expert on test scores especially since I didnt even consider sending mine to one school so I didnt look much into their expectations
Penn State quaked so much it was having a god damn seizure
Your dad!!!!!🥰
So where are you thinking of going?
Temple :)
just curious, why pick Temple when you are accepted to Penn State (Ivey)?
Upenn is the ivy Penn State is just a state school
did you end up accepting the waitlist for brown? if so, did you get in?
I did accept the place! I'm still waiting for my decision I'll keep you updated :)
Rejected oof
@@BluRayBeyondHD Aww it’s fine. Where are you going to go then? Also congrats on all your other acceptance!
Awesome 20188 thank you! I'm going to Temple:)
@Frfggg Ffgcdkkd I ended up going to Temple :) It felt like the best option financially and being so close to my home in DC after COVID was important
Hey congrats on all your schools!! What was your gpa? I apply in a few months and have a 3.57 UW 4.380 W and I LOVE brown so much
My gpa at the end of high school was 3.66 UW and about 4.2 W I think? haha good luck bb!
@@BluRayBeyondHD end of college? Or highschool?
Kit Kat high school
Kit Kat sorry I'm so tired ahhaha
Haha your dad is so funny
Does Philly have a lot to do?
Yes oh my gosh I LOVE IT
your dad is so funny
he says thank u hahah
So where did you finally choose?
Temple :)
I was hoping you could say what your extracurriculars were?
Hi there :) I'm so glad you found it to be helpful! I can send you my extra currics but I'd rather not like spam the comments section yk so DM me on insta and I can tell you @bluraybeyondhd
What college did you end up going to?
Temple :) felt like the best decision and closest during COVID
Have you gotten off any waitlists?
I only decided to stay on Brown's waitlist, they haven't released any updates yettt I'll let you know :)
W Dad
What was your ACT score
I only took the SAT, scored horribly and took advantage of the test-optional allowances this year so I did not submit
@@BluRayBeyondHD AHHHH YOU'RE GIVING ME HOPE THAT I CAN GET INTO A REALLY GOOD SCHOOL TOO. Getting waitlisted to brown is actually SO HUGE their acceptance rate is like 5 percent. Your essays must have been AMAZING!!!!!!
Any update on brown?
Not yet
rejected ~
11:30 your dad is so funny
Where did you end up going to?
Temple!
Did you have have extracurriculares?
Yes many to make up for my grades
@@BluRayBeyondHD Oh okay, I have a 3.7 unweighted gpa (4.8 weighted gpa), I’m in four clubs and in the Spanish honor Society, I haven’t taken the SAT, and I have 100+ community hours. How does this sound?
@@takemetothelakes_ it sounds like you will go to any public school in your state and possibly private depending on the school. Best advice use those extracurriculars to look good for what you want to do (e.g. you are in robotics applying for engineering) best of luck!!!!
So!!!! Where r u going then
Temple!
kinda unrelated but ur so pretty
what was ur major?
journalism!
did u got into brown?
Nah rejected off the waitlist unfortunately
@@BluRayBeyondHD so sorry to hear that. what college ur going to?
