Hi! So this is a video I feel a lot of you guys might find useful because of questions I've gotten on my most recent video of my AP Scores. That's how I came to make this video. My goal is to give you guys as much information as possible so you don't feel lost in the College Application Process this 2022 fall. I give ya'll all my advice SOLEY based on experience. I think I handled this process pretty well, so that is why I decided to share everything I know and went by. I hope it is helpful & ask me anything you want in the comment section!
BIG DISCLAIMER: I'm not a college counselor nor am I an admissions officer. These are mostly things that I have heard from professionals involved in the college process, or things that I have learned on my own. TAKE EVERYTHING WITH A GRAIN OF SALT ALWAYS!

I wish I saw this earlier, I'm in my 2nd trimester of senior year and already stressed of all tests i need to do along with my APs.... a gap year is looking good rn lol.
You got this!
Bro I got accepted with a 3.4 and a shitty sat don’t worry it’s light work
@@BoryaFXA 3.4 isn’t bad though, it’s average😭
@@BoryaFXwhen did you apply?
would also love to see a video on the college essay process:)
I can do that♥️
@@AngelicaMichelle please do this
tysm this is super helpful as a rising senior!!!
yes!! please do a vid on college essays!
love thiss tysm
This was so helpful thank you!!!
love ya!
Thank you so much ❤. It really helped me
I'm so glad!
Thanks for the very useful information. Can my daughter apply to colleges [planning 7 for early decision] one at a time directly with the schools or in bulk via those apps where she can send one application to multiple schools? What do you recommend to increase her chances of review/decision?
where did your parents get their college degreee?
Who did your parents hire to help you?. Like your parents I graduated in another country and would like to get some help for my daughter.
if i have strong AP scores and want colleges to consider them in my decision, do I have to pay for the full score report to be sent from college board to the school, or will they use my self reported scores on my application for my decision without having the official report yet
They’ll look at your self report, obviously you can’t lie though because you will be sending the score report to the school u end up going to regardless
thank you so much!! this was super helpful as I'm a eising senior and I'm stressing. should i start applying for college august 1st, or after i fill out my fafsa? also by resume, do you mean academic resume?
yes and yes!
Gracias from Dallas
So I’m out of high school. I’ve been out of high school for over a year now. Finally thinking about going to college. Would they look at my senior year for the transcript?
yes!
Yes!! They would
Tysm
When you say apply early, how do we if we are still waiting on our letters of recommendations from teachers?
Well, in my case I asked for rev letters before Junior year ended, and asked them if it was possible to get them back by August 1st. (Aka before they get bombarded the beginning of freshman year with rev letter requests). But by early I mean early, august, latest early September!
About to start my senior year!!
you got this!
you’re a godsend 😭🙏
❤
I wish I knew you in person😭
hey internet, i could use advice (bear with me through the rant). i did horrible my first two years of highschool. like really bad. i’m talking 2.0 gpa sophomore year and i wasn’t involved in anything. i’ve definitely made a massive improvement since. i get straight A’s now, i won several national and state awards in speech and debate and mock trial (also the captain of the team), i am a semiprofessional guitarist and musician, founder and president of 3 clubs (also some state rewards), and i teach guitar to middle school kids along with a few other involvements. i can’t make up for my freshman and sophomore year, but my goal is harvard. i did pretty bad on the sats too which i probably won’t submit. my question is: is it even realistically possible for me to get into a prestigious college now? my gpa is still pretty bad, i believe i’m sitting at around a 3.2 not including senior year (yet to come). i’m also kinda nervous that it might be a reach for me to even get into a normal college that isn’t competitive. do you guys think my ecs, awards, and improvement could make up for it? how much do you think the first two years will affect my application?
I skimmed through this and seen you have a 3.2 and haven’t even reached senior year yet. You will be fine. You can easily increase that gpa if you take honor classes, AP’s , and depending on school dual enrollment. Some don’t even count your freshman year at all. If you try the SAT/ACT and receive a great score, that will have a impact as well. It goes beyond GPA. Improvement is something they look at heavily as well.
Edit: Okay I finished reading and you will definitely get into a university with a unfinished 3.2 that will increase your senior year. You’ll be okay girl, you got this.
So usually the applications that we submit to colleges usually never include our senior year because the admission usually start at the beginning of senior year?
correct, they'll still ask about what classes you'll take your last year. You have to list them out
My daughter is a junior in high school. Can you do a video on college essays, please?
i'll try!
OMGGGG MY GRADES AND GPA AND ACT UP UNTIL MY JUNIOR YEAR LITERALLY SUCK AND I WAS WAITING TO DO BETTER IN MY SENIOR YEAR TO APPLY 😢
you got thiss
Can you do this for adults? Some of us didnt have the opportunities that some kids had like me. Im 25 and wanting to go to college, but i couldnt ask advisors because it was out of the question
Same I’m 21. Did you end up going ?
@laleagregory7192 I ended up taking 2 classes for the fall semester, and I'm taking 2 more for this spring semester.
I don't fully understand everything yet, but it's doable just talking to the advisors. For classes, I talk to a regular advisor. For finances, I go to the financial advisor. I'm actually gonna go to a financial advisor right now because there are some things I don't understand regarding that. Like I got a grant and I had no idea where it came from, so I need to be educated on it lol
literally a second semester sophomore in hs but im stressing rn so future me doesn't have to
As u should
i wish i woulda done that tbh
Great advice thanks alot. What is the very first step in starting the application...from zero
Pretty sure it depends per school but making a profile in the college app platform probs!
I'm in middle school rn and idk if I want to go to college
please consider it!
the fact that my counselor was my teacher
Oh?
What about a sophomore taking junior classes --i will graduate 2024 but still have two more credits plus the six (i did 8 this school year) when do I show my transcript
please someoneee
hi! i’m a rising senior, and i would recommend still submitting your transcript during the requested time period despite you being a little ahead (that’s assuming you are). now if you’re worried about not getting all of you credits in time, i recommend talking with your school counselor about your current classes and classes that you can take during your second semester to fulfill those requirements. same applies when talking about dual credit classes which typically factor into your academic credits. i currently have all of my credits but it doesn’t really make a difference when factoring in “time.” i feel it just makes the process a lot less daunting and makes everything go by more smoothly if you stick to your class graduation time period (in our case, class of 2024.) i hope this helps, just let me know if you need more clarity:)
I have only taken a few aps and 1 honors class I feel like I’m too behind and underprepared for all of this I’m still in my senior year I just saw one of my friends start classes in the best college of the state I’m so stressed I feel like a fuck up
you're not! Be kind to yourseld please
Can you do the writing prompts next video
Writing prompts? Maybe if I get enough requests, I'll do one!
@@AngelicaMichelle ok
