I cured cancer, brought world peace, won the Nobel Peace and the Pulitzer, was the World Chess Champ, and interned directly for the UN Sec Gen….. Stanford put me on the waiting list and so did MIT
I did an internship for the president of USA, I became the president when I was eight, I coded 100 apps in fifth grade, I became a member of congress at age 8. Stanford and Harvard put me on the waiting list. 😂
Nothing, I just don't have many extracurriculars. I did nothing in Freshman year, was a member of Student Council and NHS in sophomore year, I'm currently a junior and I'm doing: NHS as a member, SHH secretary, Mock Trial (not on main team), Model UN, ISA (Indian Student Association), and that's about it. But I feel I've not had the impact that most successful applicants have had..@@lourdricksroom
@@lourdricksroomhello I have alright curriculars I'm afraid they're not that impressive, I'd appreciate if you could give me some advice:) I managed an online competition organised by An Ngo(I managed the online advertising and poster and banner designing) I was the finalist for a national championship (reasoning and mental abilities)however I couldn't attend the phase 2 also every year I take drawing classes during the summer break I participated in some singing competitions(inter school ones and got 2nd and third position) I also participated in a district karate championship and got bronze and silver medal. I gave Olympiads and won school topper in grade 1 and eighth are these stats alright because I will turn hs junior (11grade) this year
@@blinkpop16I think they are ok, I mean, I don't have any of these and wanna apply to Harvard and Cornell and others. Probably if you create a good personal essay you will win
Are some extracurriculars considered as the better ones because they are national level or something like that? Or awards? As I know there is no such a requirement, but how much does it mean?
Hey there are some extracurricular activities that i have done in my school years . Please tell me it should be enough for Stanford or any other ivy-league collage to grt into. 1st: i have played many sports through out my whole school year(4th grade to 10th grade) And also won interschool district level compilations. 2: i was in coding club and also somewhat developed a English grammar app but it's undone because our coding club was shut down since not many students didn't show any interest in it. 3: i am 1st female commander in my high school mars past coub and lead the school assembly 2 years( in my 11th and 12th grade) 4: i have also joined a summer came and educational workshops in my town when i was in 9th grade. 5: i also won some interschool drawing competition. Are these enough please reply 😢
yeah of course. colleges actually prefer something called a spike nowadays, which is a point of focus that you put a ton of hard work and dedication into, while still maintaining a level of well roundedness.
hey bro can you help me out i did absolutely nothing but i want to go to a privilege uni. is there a chance if i start from grade eleven and possibly do some of the stuff like you did? jst say yes/no
Kind of off topic but if I wrote my college essay on my love for anime and manga and how that changed me as a person and my values do you think that would be a good topic.
sounds like it could be really bad or really awesome, depends on how the connections that you draw from it. I feel like it can be pulled of but still, it sounds hard.
it really depends. with this topic, there would be an extremely fine line between great or absolutely terrible. my brutally honest opinion, having not read this essay, would be that you should probably avoid this.
hmm admission officers really want to see something unique, something unique that changed yourlife, anime can be correlated to movies and it doesnt really sound facinating. Even i would prefer to hear stories about real life incidents rather than movies and their emotional impact

Completely unrealistic, MIT would've straight up rejected you

This is so unfair cause half of our schools and colleges dont provide opportunities for us to perform such extra curriculars
So you have to initiate it and search for stuff and create the programs and speak to proffessionals
RIP my Stanford aspirations 😭
I don’t have many good extracurricular

Executive Council for school.. I don't even think there is such a thing in my country😅
Most of these are probably virtually impossible for me based on my location and situation. Not only that, but so is most else that is worth it...

Is it okay to do extracurricular activities that are along with your interests, personality and academics rather than a rounded?
yeah of course. colleges actually prefer something called a spike nowadays, which is a point of focus that you put a ton of hard work and dedication into, while still maintaining a level of well roundedness.
hey bro can you help me out
i did absolutely nothing but i want to go to a privilege uni. is there a chance if i start from grade eleven and possibly do some of the stuff like you did?
