    Congrats on the acceptances and go Richmond!!!! Even though you didn’t get into a lot of places, I’m glad that you made this video… I appreciate ppl showing others that it’s not all sunshine and rainbows for everyone the way it can seem to be like in many videos similar to this one. You spoke straight facts at the end segment ngl. Hope you have a great next four years bro, just recently committed myself!

    Sorry about the rejections, I guess not many people major in Geography. Congrats on Richmond, it's hard to get into Ivy League schools. That's why I didn't apply to Columbia for a graduate degree, but I did get into NYU for a graduate degree in 1983. My Dad had his BS and MA from Columbia.

    Hi! thank you for posting this :D as an aspiring Env Science major this was really cool to see.
    I had one random question -- how'd you use copyrighted music in this video? Did you have to purchase a license? I'm trying to get started with my YT channel but the music is a big issue :/

    Richmond is an awesome school so congrats, But are your stats in range for the Ivy League? And did you submit scores for the SAT or ACT?

    Congratulations! Can I ask why you applied to 24 colleges, like what is the reason to apply to so many? Also wanted to know how much you typically spend on fees applying to a college?

    • @CharlesGorby
      @CharlesGorby  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      A lot of people apply to a college like Harvard because they see that it's ranked well or people say it's the best, but I made sure to find personal reasons for every single one. This includes majors, campus feel, surrounding area, facility & dorm quality, etc. I enjoyed most of the unis I toured, and there are just so many to choose from that it's hard to narrow them down. Ultimately, I applied to 24 because I had enough time and resources. Moreover, there are such low chances of me getting into any, so if I want options to choose from, I would need to apply to a lot

    • @CharlesGorby
      @CharlesGorby  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Usually the fees were about $70-80 per college but my parents were gracious in covering the cost and you can apply for waivers.
