*summary:* 1. the order which u put ur activities in is important! 2. for well-known organizations (MUN, key club, etc.) focus on your own accomplishments in the club rather than a general summary 3. don't use full sentences! be straightforward and to the point 4. don't overload your hours spent on activities (be realistic) 5. keep a consistent format for descriptions 6. (talking abt her own activities as an example)
PSA yall! the activities section on the Common App. is different this year so ours may not look like haley's. now there's a 50-character section for "Position/Leadership Description," 100 characters for "Organization Name," and 150 characters for description and recognition received. thank you haley for making these videos!
Why am I here yeah only what's relevant to you! (I'm also applying this year so take it with a grain of salt haha, but I know past hs grads who only fill in some of the blanks)
tbh im so thankful for this I wrote you a poem: professor kang she’s got the hang of the common app and helps me to tap into my brain so it will rain ...when I get into my dream school (definitely not pursuing a major in creative writing)
I'm a community college student that's transferring this semester and I watch your videos when I'm in the bathroom painting my nails as a way to be more ~productive~ with my time and honestly, you are so helpful!! I'm really grateful for your videos and the insight you're able to bestow on future college students as well as coming students into the future application cycle. Keep at it because you are giving so many people such great advice!! :)
Thank you for these videos, as a first gen student the college process seems so terrifying and people like you make it so much easier to digest :) ❤️ now it doesn’t feel like an overwhelming monster looming over my head looool
u being so transparent about these things is so uplifting and useful. i felt so bad abt my ecs but ur video makes me feel like i can get in my dream college too!!!! u have no idea how helpful this is to me. thanks a ton girl
And THATS on being a senior who didn’t really do anything during their high school years and now wants to throw yourself into a volcano 🤪 whyyyyyyyyyyyy am I so stupid???????? 🤠
Love the way you say "also" 😂 and i also actually really love and appreciate the content as a now senior realizing early deadlines are like 2 months away...
Honestly, you are the only TH-camr I found who was actually funny and showed me personality even though the topic is generally boring. Keep up the editing! Honestly, I can definitely see you having millions of subscribers in a few years! Btw I never comment on any videos EVERRR but hello, you deserve it!
CONGRATS ON 5K!! i've been watching your videos since you started, and they've really made my college application process less daunting ;-; thank you for all your work, i love how honest you are with you viewers! looking forward to 10K and more ;)
Hi!!! These vids are so helpful, PLEASE never stop making them ahah 🥺 I was wondering if you could make vid on the college application timeline (like, what we should be doing/finished with at different points of the year in terms of college applications). I’m currently applying to college so it would be super helpful to know where I should be in the process :) Again, thank you for your videos they’re literally so helpful!!
Thanks for this video! I was so confused about how to write the descriptions lol. Common app season just got started so I found this at the perfect time!! You broke everything down into simple steps and you're funny so it was fun to watch the whole video through!
Thank you for making this video!! I am starting to out my common and it has been difficult. My activities page is not where I want it to be, but after watching your video I have a been understanding on how to fix it.
I'm an English teacher at all levels in all facets of English studies and writing. PLEASE BE A TEACHER. You would be a superhero! You could help change the world. =)
I really appreciate this video bc it makes me feel like people who go to top schools are actually human and not some sort of smart robot where all they do is win international awards lol
>"I couldn't think of enough activities to add on my list" Oh perfect, I'll get advice from someone else who didn't do much! >"Here's my 8 clubs and sports I was involved in!" Colleges are gonna look at my boring ass and toss the application
also in the activities, specifically sports, would it make sense to list ur accomplishments in the activity area and the same stuff in the awards section?
i would only mention sports accomplishments in the activity area and would reserve the awards section for stuff like cum laude, ap scholar, national merit, stuff like that
I didn't bother ordering my activities for my top ea application, hope that doesn't bite me. I put all the school stuff up front (4 clubs I am president / captain of and a student gov position), listed my internship, listed a philanthropic seat I held, recurring speaking engagement, and then company I co founded / ran. The hours I put in might raise some eyebrows but by far the largest time consumer was the company (start/scaling without outside investment). My rational behind this was that I have mediocre grades (A's and B's) and I think I can excuse this with the excessive commitments I had outside of school. Since I didn't order them, I hope they don't assume the business wasn't hard or as important as the other things. Overall, I think I made a lot of the mistakes you made (not ordering, poor formatting, listing a lot of hours). Crossing my fingers for a nice admissions officer.
Thanks so much for your videos they are extremely helpful! I found your channel about 5 hours ago and have watched about 60% of all the videos you have done (that's pretty much been my day today... whoops!) I am currently in the middle of writing my main essay and haven't even started on my supplementals but now I feel like I know how to do it all! :) Also congrats on 3K!! Question: How do you think we should approach the COVID question on the common app?
Professor Kang > any college counselor
wow you're really smart - professor kang
Accurate
the way she said " i am better than you " xd make me subscribe her immediately even though it was my 1st video
*summary:*
1. the order which u put ur activities in is important!
2. for well-known organizations (MUN, key club, etc.) focus on your own accomplishments in the club rather than a general summary
3. don't use full sentences! be straightforward and to the point
4. don't overload your hours spent on activities (be realistic)
5. keep a consistent format for descriptions
6. (talking abt her own activities as an example)
Your tips feel so real and NOT AT ALL exaggerated....even as international applicant, ur videos are of great help to me
ahhhh thank you so much😇😇😇
Did u get admitted to any college?? U r Indian? Right?
PSA yall! the activities section on the Common App. is different this year so ours may not look like haley's. now there's a 50-character section for "Position/Leadership Description," 100 characters for "Organization Name," and 150 characters for description and recognition received.
thank you haley for making these videos!
what should I list as the organization name if I did the activity at home
You don’t have to fill all that space right?? I literally have no idea
Why am I here yeah only what's relevant to you! (I'm also applying this year so take it with a grain of salt haha, but I know past hs grads who only fill in some of the blanks)
tbh im so thankful for this I wrote you a poem:
professor kang
she’s got the hang
of the common app
and helps me to tap
into my brain
so it will rain
...when I get into my dream school
(definitely not pursuing a major in creative writing)
haha sweetest thing anyone’s written me :’)
Don’t be a nit wit,
get her a fit bit,
Cause she’s runnin shit,
Like a presidint........
yeahhh im happy your not pursuing that English degree
That part about no extracurriculars is so relatable.... Your videos are helping me so much with the common app!
haha thanks so much!
