I'm so glad you decided to go to Monsters University, I'm applying there in the fall!
I just got in! MU class of 2020 ❤
+Jasmine S. Would you 10/10 recommend applying to MU?!
YES! I'm here for a freshman week right now and it's the best
I read this comment before watching the video and it seriously messed me up 😂😂😂
Being wait-listed is like being friend-zoned. :|
agreed
Am I the only one that listens to her video while doing homework?
Whoops. I'm doing that right now.😂
MegaCODEOFCONDUCT sameeee
I love how I'm still watching your college application videos even though I've finally finished that process. And hey I actually made it out in one piece!! It was honestly the most stressful thing I've done, and due to my indecisive nature I decided to apply under an early decision plan. I know it's not the best for everyone, but it ended up working nicely for me. I will be attending Vanderbilt this fall and I couldn't be happier!! Thanks for all your helpful college videos (:
congratulation!!!! i am so proud that someone who watches my videos has a college success story to share :)
Abigail R I'm watching them now (heading off to Mills next week!)
Vanderbilt damn you must've had amazing grades congrats
She's exactly right about UVA being nearly impossible for OOS students. I'm from CA and exceeded (by a lot) all UVA's average stats and was deferred early and ultimately waitlisted. It was one of the first regular decisions I'd received, so I was super worried that getting waitlisted for UVA, a school I thought I was pretty level with academically, was indicative of my reach school decisions that would come later that week. Fortunately, that assumption was so wrong - I got into UC Berkeley, Emory, GW, Northwestern, and more. The ONLY schools I was waitlisted at were UVA and UNC Chapel Hill, both of which just hate OOS students. Moral of the story - if you're waitlisted, DON'T GIVE UP HOPE
Sometimes I forget how lucky I am to be in-state for UVA. It's one of my top schools right now. I like that everything seems to have worked out great for you at USC. That's the best advice I've gotten:that no matter what, it all works out.
+Kat D I agree, sure it would be nice to go to your top school, but it is all about what you make of where you go.
Same!
I'm from VA too. How's it going at UVA?
omg I got waitlisted at UVA too! And it was my top choice as well but now I'm over it lol. I think it worked out for the best though because now I'm going to Villanova with a ton of money and I'm so excited. Great video btw I wish I found this video before my college application process
I have watched this series every step of the college process way! These are the most useful videos about the college process by far! This series was uploaded right before my senior year started so I watched all five videos at once in the beginning, and re-watched them as I got to each stage. Now I'm so excited to be choosing a college! Your advice is raw and true and completely applicable! They are so unique but so helpful! I am actually torn in a three way tie between USC, UVA, and William and Mary. I am literally a swinging pendulum (for three pivot places? idk). Anyway, I'll stop babbling now. But your college videos are amazing Katherine!
omg you have such great choices. I know that I wouldn't choose anywhere else but USC now but you have excellent options -- best of luck!
This series is amazing! I love all of your videos, but your school related ones are my favoritee. I was wondering if you could please consider making a video on how you studied in high school! I know you mentioned in your how to get straight a's video that you sit down and get everything done, along with doing ALOT of practice, but I'm more interested in your method of studyings so flashcards or rereading notes or whatever. You have displayed amazing academic sucess and studying advice from you would be gold. Would really appreciate it if you did it. Excited for more videos in the future!
I love that bow thing that you're wearing!
thank you so much for all of these videos. they are so helpful! I'm visiting USC over spring break this year and can't wait!
+Mallory Hall Good Luck! I hope you have a great trip :)
As a CS major at Georgia Tech, I made a video about how to choose the perfect college for you! I give advice on what to ask tour guides and fellow students. If you are interested, check it out! Thanks!
This was the best college series ever! Good luck in your future endeavors, Katherine! I can see you doing big things!
reading this comment made me feel so great!! you're the best
Aww thanks. When it comes to college advice I truly enjoy hearing from peopel who put all of their thought into it.
...And you are definitely one of those people.
Notre dame is my absolute dream school. My father attended and hearing someone get into ND gives me chills. That's such an amazing accomplishment-- good for you. Even though you did not attend, you should still feel like a badass for that!! I'm in the process of applying to USC and ND right now. Go Irish & fight on!!
You're so similar to me in the colleges you looked at! Glad you're happy with you're choice!
Thank you so much for this I hope you're loving USC! ❤️❤️
Thank you for these great tips next school year I will be a Freshmen in High School and I know it's early but I'm looking into colleges and your tips real helped!
USC has been my dream school for a long time now!
Check out why I chose to attend UC Santa Barbara! ---> xenstate.com/2018/04/06/why-i-chose-uc-santa-barbara/
Thank you so much for sharing this. I have a daughter who is a senior in high school and we are in the process of doing all of this college stuff and it is definitely stressful. I enjoy your videos.
thank YOU for watching!
I wish my mom knew what she was doing and was on my ass about this college stuff, now I'm a freshman at community college hoping to transfer in a year instead of two whole years. Its so crazy because now I know what you have to do and I'm out of high school now so I'm late on this college stuff but not to late, at least I'm doing something.
I can’t believe how insightful this is now that I am watching it as a senior. I have been facing the same conflict you described with my top two schools Vanderbilt and WashU and I realized the exact thing you said! I kept defending Vanderbilt for its slightly better reputation but my heart was with WashU and its business program. I kept going back and forth but I am so happy to say I will be attending WashU in the fall!!!
Great points. Love the videos. I had the same thoughts on choosing my school of choice for college. Not an easy decision.
Congratulations! I wish you the best at USC, I know you will do great!! This video really gave me very helpful tips!
yay i am so very glad!
I wish there were more youtubers who go to college on an athletic scholarship! This video is helpful but I need advice on college recruiting, when to commit, how to know what college you want to go to, etc. Great video though!
yeah that sounds like it'd be hard to find!
I've been looking for a video of college students on athletic scholarships for soooo long.
Danielle C you could check out gretchenlovesbeauty , she was on a scholarship for rowing at Boston University
Yes!!! That is my favorite school let's hope I get in... I can do this! Thanks for the extremely helpful info and congratulations :)
Fight on!
you're so awesome, thank you so much for taking the time to make these advice videos, they are incredibly helpful! I have applied early action to Boston College and will hear back in December.
i wish you all the best!
MyPreppyStyle Thank you!! :)
You and your videos are so lovely!! :)
WOW!! I have USC on my list of choices also!! Congrats!!!:D
Good luck & fight on!
Watching your videos has really prepared me for the moment or rejection or acceptance. I was Rejected from USC (;-;) but accepted to some of my others. Your videos have showed me that no matter what you will find the right college for you.I would like to thank you for getting me past some speed bumps that were getting in my way. Love your videos and can't wait for more! =)
YAYYY thanks so much for watching you're the best
Good luck! Thanks for the advice :)
Just found your channel! I'm not from the States but I really found your video helpful. Wish I'd received the input you gave before I started college :)
so glad you're watching!
I got giddy when I heard that you applied (and was accepted) to UIUC because that's my number one choice school so now knowing that you got accepted just makes me want to follow your college series videos more!
really helped me slim down the choices. Thank you!
my pleasure!
Dang I'm late but wow wow you seem so friendly and nice haha!! Really:) I'm glad you made these videos thanks!!
I wish I had found your videos before my senior year of high school. Last year during my junior year I was so lost and now I'm stressed out about my scores and applications.
You are really helpful in my whole college seeking process and helping me in high school with informing me about things that I should be doing as a senior in high school. You motivate me even more than I am, in doing better in school. Thank you for your helpful advice. And you choose an amazing college.
thank you so much for leaving this comment--it means the world & a half to me!!!
Your video was extremely helpful. Thank you! :) I hope you're enjoying USC.
i am LOVing it
Thats great!
Just got accepted to USC! Go Trojans!!!!
I was just deferred from uva and I"m hoping to get accepted regular decision. It's my top choice too but it really is impossible to get out of state! Anyways you really do make the best college videos Katherine and the fact that u r so happy at USC gives me hope I can find somewhere other than uva that I will be happy at.
You visited Notre Dame on a cold year for Indiana ;)
I'm a senior in college and feeling really nostalgic right now.
haha i'm pretty sure any day I visited Notre Dame would've been colder than I expected. I'm nostalgic af so i feel ya girl
Thank you so much for making this video I'm going through this right now
+Lexierose1797 omg me too... I'm freaking out, I cant decide what school...
LITERALLY 14:30 IS ME RIGHT NOW, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT ADVICE!
I just found your channel today, and subscribed after a couple of videos and started binge watching your videos. They are amazing. I cried when I didn't get accepted to my number one school. But they said that I have a chance of getting in if I retake my ACT. I'm like praying that I do really well on my next ACT. I will cry if I don't get in. My parents seem to want me to go to the community college for a bit before leaving, but I really am set on this college. The college is Bowling Green State University. Also, I've toured 10 colleges because I'm in the top 20 of my 10th and 11th grade. I'm a senior now though. And BGSU, I've toured twice because my top 2 was BGSU and Cleveland State University.
i wish you all the best! i promise you that whether you end up at BGSU or not, you'll find your place. thanks so much for watching and for your warm feedback
MyPreppyStyle Thank you too for being such an awesome person.
I just got into USC and am so excited to start school there in the fall! Go Trojans!
Parker Green OMG FTFO
Hi! I love your videos and think that they're super helpful. I was wondering if you could either post a video or refer me to one of your past videos that explains (in depth) how to apply for financial aid, scholarships, etc.I'm interested in attending USC and it would be awesome to hear your experience with the subject!!
Really helpful video!! I'm so overwhelmed by all the choices and I am only a sophomore but I feel like the sooner I figure it out the better lol. Random question but where did you get your glasses? I'm seriously in love with them.
thanks, your time is greatly appreciated.
Thanks to your advice and helpful videos I got in to my dream school which was the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign. 🔷🔶🔷🔶 Go Illini!
Wow it's incredible that all your schools have such a high acceptance rate...you inspire me haha. USC is my number one so hopefully I'll see you this year
FIGHT ON!
the scare school at monsters university is actually modeled after the academic building at texas a&m
Lol
Yeah, picking a school is definitely the worst part of the process. I was kind of down to one just because I only applied to two and one was super expensive and I didn't get their big scholarship that I interviewed for, but I just got a call from them that I get full tuition for National Merit and now I have two schools with good scholarships and it actually makes it harder to choose.
i'm so excited for you! a big decision so try to visit both or at least talk to some students and find a story that you particularly resonate with!
One thing I love about being a high school student in Washington, D.C. And living there is that every state school in the country we get in-state tuition which is amazing cause I want to go to West Virginia university and in state tuition is 20,000 a year compared to like 34,000 a year for out- of state tuition
Emory is really cool, I'm a junior in Atlanta so I've been over there a couple times, but USC seems like a better fit for you
This is probably one of favorite college advice videos ever. I'm a senior and I've been accepted to all but one school I applied to but I've only visited a few so I'm scared of going to a school I like but haven't visited. Two schools I thought I liked but they are small and I've gotten scholarships to both but I don't want to just go because of scholarships. Any advice for me please. I'm so nervous and anxious.
if you've already gotten all of your decisions, you have four months to decide! that should be plenty of time to tour and talk to current students so i really suggest you do that before making a decision purely based on finances
These college videos have helped a lot! I appreciate the work you put into these to give such helpful advice :) I have a question for you - is there any way you'd be willing to look at my transcript, extracurriculars, and standardized test scores and tell me how good of a shot you think I have of getting into USC while being from Virginia? I miss CA so much and USC is in my top 3 and I thought you might be able to give me some more advice seeing as you work in the admissions office and I can't afford to go there for a tour or anything. Thanks for reading and hopefully helping!
Such a perfectionist
Monsters university! Great video
Great videos
I live next to UVA! Planning on applying there
I'm a senior in high school I've started working on the application and I have a college list but I'm not 100% about all the schools on my list. Like I still want to add more schools to my list, is that bad at this point ? I haven't been able to visit that many schools yet but I set up some visits for this month to solidify the colleges already on my list. The essay scares me, I made the mistake of comparing myself to other students which made me feel insecure, and the amount of effort I have to put into this process in the next few months is daunting but I know I have to put my all into it. I feel like I'm behind. So this month I'm going to do a lot of the grunt work (more researching and essays) to catch up so that Nov and Dec will be a little better. I'm scared for my essays and also about the fact that I might not find the perfect school for myself. I just wanted to vent somewhere. Good luck to everyone else going through this process right now
Love your videos Katherine,❤️
hey katherine love your vids! Do you have any tips for the "why usc" supplemental essay/how to make it stand out?
What do you play in the marching band? I'm a senior in high school and I'm looking at USC as somewhere to go next year, and I play alto sax in the band(:
Honestly this part of the process is the worst. I'm waiting to hear back from USC and UCLA, my two top choices and the wait is killing me. And along with that I have to chose from like 9 other schools I got into if those 2 don't work out. Ugh it's all so stressful!
if i did it, you can do it!! let me know if you have any questions come april :)
you talking about how lucky it is to be going to school. as a girl especially, really humbled me.
I just read all your essays.. All of them were so amazing that the fact that you were denied from some of those schools is not very encouraging for me lol.. I am applying to many of the same schools, and am nowhere near as good of a writer as you.
How much does USC cost from out of state after average scholarships and financial aid and whatnot? I'm trying to weigh that out and decide between USC and the UC's.
+Nannarki46 Something to think about if you're out of state is that the UC's cost more for people who are not from California, but USC is the same price for everyone because it is a private school.
You're the best!
daw thanks :))
I'm leaning towards media and film major and I'm currently a junior...i feel like it's extremely had to even pick a list of university to apply to next year simply because there's TOO MANY great schools ;-; (plus I'm considering Canada, US, AND European schools) i feel so lost lol
Hey I was wondering if you could tell me how the application process works to American universities? I'm from the UK and we don't apply to schools separately, we do a personal statement saying why you want to do that course and it goes to a company called UCAS who send it out to the unis and everything is basically done through them, plus we can only apply to five universities. So yeah, could you tell me how that works (If it's not too much trouble!!)
Great video, by the way, very helpful :) Like I said, in the UK we can only apply to five schools so I don't have as many to choose from as you (Congrats on getting into so many school by the way!) but it's still tricky to pick the school I want to go to!
Usc is lovely especially since the rose garden is there.
!! my dorm is right across the street from the natural history museum & the rose garden
I know you live in CA, so how did you're parents feel about you applying to schools on the east coast? My parents won't even let me consider it. Any tips on convincing them?
Just submitted my Stanford app!
YOU GO GLEN COCO
Did you know?
WSU
(Washington State University)
Has a "assured admission" application for students with a gpa of 3.5 or higher during their senior year?
hiii! im really worried about applying to too many ivy league schools! I have like 5 in my mind! I cant choose which one would be best for me! im a sophomore and I know it may be early to decide all this but im positive and I wan to go on the pre-med track. also, I also have a list of reach, targets, and safety schools! I got this Idea from you! it really helps organizing my thoughts together! your videos are really helpful and I will be depressed if I don't get accepted where I plan to go. please shower me with tips and suggestions. thank you :)
I am so happy for you and getting accepted to all of those institutions. I only go to a csu, and attending USC will only happen in my dreams 😔 But I hope your having fun there now 😊👍
don't diminish your accomplishments! being at college at all is seriously impressive!
How do you tell a college you will be attending their college? How do you tell a college you will not be attending their college? Like what is the proper way to notify for both situations? Some say write a letter, others day you can email your admissions counselor with your decision, and I don't know whats the proper way.
I only applied for two universities and got accepted to both and it was very hard on which to go to I finally had to choose the one that I am in know which is Southern Nazarene University
USC is my dream school, but I will probably never get in there. Just beginning common app and essay stuff now. Already toured 5 out 10 schools that in currently thinking about.
I'm also interested in business especially their Leventhal school of accounting
A youtuber, annemariechase is also going to USC.
thanks for letting me know! I commented on her video :)
So I'm a sophomore in highschool in Texas and USC is my dream college and I just wanted to know how to approach trying to get into a college like that since I've heard it's a lot harder to get into a out of state colleges
I'm so happy for you 😸
I know I'm late but congrats! USC is my dream school:)
Fight on!
That is a lot of colleges you were accepted to!
How do you figure out if a college's program admits you when you apply or if it's not until your junior year? I want to get into a nursing program and I have no idea how to figure out if I will be directly admitted or not
+AVDisneygirl usually schools have pre-nursing programs where you have to take pre-requisites for one or two years then you apply to a nursing school or nursing program
I was so scared for your laptop when you were jumping on your bed
Hi, I can relate to this video a looot 😅. My top schools are USC and Georgetown for business and I got into both. Now, I have to make a decision. Are there any tips or insights you can share about USC since you go there? I'm really interested in international business and international opportunities.
Hi! Would you mind sharing your stats (just GPA and test scores) to get a perspective on things? Thanks!
Even though I'm young I'm going to this really good college but it's not expensive so yea
Why am I watching this all ready accepted and enrolled in college 😌
Hey! What AP classes did you take throughout highschool?
Also, my grades freshman year were pretty decent, but not the best, but it dropped a bit sophomore year.
However, I am a rising junior. If I work my butt off junior year, do you think I could get into a good college? I am hoping to get into UNC!
I'm in the situation. I hope an upward trend helps
christine park my exact situation! I got 2 Cs sophomore year now I'm working my booty off junior year! we can do this!(:
arianna delgado ahh yes we got this!!
omg this video is my life right now! thank you so much for your advice. I'm trying to decide between the University of Virginia and Boston College, and even though I'm thrilled I got in, I'm more stressed than I was when I was applying! if you don't mind me asking, how did you know USC was the one? like what made you sure you wouldn't regret it? thank you!!
Amanda P where did you go?
my top schools I want to apply to are UNC Chapel Hill, Duke, NC State, and Cornell and I would like to major in biochemistry and start premed! (I live in North Carolina btw)
I don't know if I want to go to Ohio state (in state) or move all the way to California for USC
these schools are my DREAM! can u give me an idea of what your high school gpa was to see if i even have a chance?
Just wondering...how much was it to apply to all those colleges like holy must have cost a fortune. In Canada it's about $50 per program and I applied to two programs out of the province and it was like $110 per program. So I sadly only applied to like 4 schools but eh less options so not as hard as choosing between 10 schools :)
the application fee is $80 for most schools here!
I really wanna apply to USC but my ACT/SAT scores aren't good enough for me to get accepted in :(
I think it's cool how you're from Cali (I think) and you were interested in NC schools haha
Hiii, I LOVE your video! Although I'm a freshman in highschool, I'm looking at colleges and the requirements to get into the school! I would like to ask a couple things about how you got accepted to those schools.. (your gpa, act or sat scores, academics, any clubs??)... I understand if you don't want to since it's a bit more personal, but if you could It would wonderful! Thanks. xx
i cover more of that in parts I-IV of this series!
MyPreppyStyle Thank you! I should've looked at them before asking. Sorry xx
no problem whatsoever!
What are you majoring and what do you plan for your career
So i don't have good grades at school! Like 60% to 75% and only 85-90% in English.but I need 80% to 100% the next 2 years so that McGill accept me!! Do you think there's still hope for me to get straight A's so McGill university might accept me in international law?
Ugh I wish I could go to Notre Dame 😩
