hi all! for those asking about my essays, i don’t think i will be sharing them any time soon. they were incredibly personal to me, and i’m not quite ready to put them out into the world at this point in time. thank you for understanding, and i hope you enjoy the video! xx
How do you do so many things???? It seems so stressful. I'm going into freshman year and now I'm like freaked out about doing good. Omg how did you do it🤐😬
@@mckynahaskell5028 that's what I'm trying to figure out. Like she had all those activities she was part of and I'm so curious to how she managed to still be able to focus on her school, especially the fact that she was taking like 5 AP tests in one year and I'm a sophomore currently taking one AP class and struggling sooo hard.
Girl I need a time management video like how you schedule your days to be productive! I’m incoming freshman in college and I’m so scared my poor time managing skills are gonna ruin so many things. I want to actually be able to experience fun things alongside academics since I worked so hard to get into my school but I’m only used to prioritizing academics (and sacrificing well being) and that’s not what I want to do in college!!
@Alexia Zamora lol I'm in college now but I don't fully agree with your opinion looking back, however this is coming from someone who doesn't view their main purpose and goal to be an academic career that requires such diligence. I was a student who skipped a lot - if not everything- and was even going to skip prom (until last minute was convinced to go : best decision I made!) and looking back I regret it. Adolescence is a time when you are growing into yourself, and literally forming a personality. psychological theory asserts that the main purpose of adolescence is "to develop a social identity" and i definitely missed out on that due to always focusing on studies. so now I am just learning who I am and experiencing life when I shouldve been doing that way earlier on. To anyone reading this, as a former student who prioritized academics and got into a top university, Balance is important for those who value more in life than their career path and i really recommend it. its times like this pandemic that put into perspective what your priorities in life are so i hope that this sheds light for someone.
I'm not Harvard material, but I never got anything less than an A- in highschool. I took a few honors and AP classes. If you take education seriously, it really isn't hard in highschool.
@@EpicExplosionify How so? Again, if you take education seriously, why would you not succeed? Many in my school did not get straight As, but those are who skipped classes, didn't study, got in trouble, etc. This really isn't a mystery or some big conspiracy (like inflated grading system) you know. Just work hard. That's not a new concept.
@@AM-reacts if you go to a relatively difficult high school like mine, there are notorious classes where even kids who eventually get into IVYs and Stanford get Bs and Cs, sometimes it depends on your school
I’m convinced you’re super woman. No one can tell me otherwise. But for real, you are like, amazing. I’m going into high school and this video really motivated me. You worked so hard and not even Harvard deserves you, even though you got in hahah. And thanks for sharing some of your failures, I could really relate to that. You are going to do great things in your life, and good luck at Harvard!
Justin Chae She may be “too smart” for Princeton. I got turned down from 2 schools that were no where academically strict as the school I got accepted into.
I’ll be a sophomore next year and this is super helpful!! I love how you didn’t go crazy with 10+ APs and allowed yourself to do fun classes as well. This year I had the option to do 2 APs but only did 1 so that I would have room in my schedule for chorus... at first I was worried this would look bad on a transcript but you being accepted to all those amazing schools while still doing electives you enjoy gives me hope!! Have fun at college and congrats on being accepted to so many schools!
Namjoonology I’m taking AP Computer Science Principles!! the other AP that was offered to me was AP Psychology and I plan to take that over the summer next year :)
culturally speaking, asian cultures stress education a lot. this doesn’t mean every asian is “smart”. this depends on genetics and peoples personality when it comes to work ethic. but i get where your coming from i’m already stressed out about college and high school 😂
@@emilygu9814 no Athena Gonzales was right by saying "your". "You're" means "you are", which doesn't make sense in that context. At least make sure you're right before fixing other people. Not hating
@@cheewizard7009 uhhh you're the one who should be checking if youre right before fixing others. should it be "if your comfortable with it" or "if you are comfortable with it" you tell me.
I WISH I went to your high school! I have such big dreams and I do well with what I’m given, but my high school is very small and rural (not well funded at all). We lost 21 staff members out of maybe 50 on the high side. That meant that a lot of AP classes had to be dropped. I’m just frustrated.
Celia Marie WOW. I’ve heard of the rural education crisis but that sucks. Colleges will take that into account though. Just try to do big things with what you have.
aww i'm sorry for that. that honestly does suck. but, just remember colleges will take into account that your school didn't offer as much experiences as others did.
Girl, you are amazing, you did so many things and efforts. From grades to extracurriculars. The american school system is so confusing. In Mexico we do one exam to apply to college and you have to do it right on that one, if not, goodbye acceptance card 💔 it's amazing though, you have more chances to get better grades and it gets you to (clearly) great places! Congratulations! And please share more tips ❣
I know for you the SAT really worked out and I’m super happy!! But a piece of advice for incoming juniors that helped me is that I took both the SAT and ACT and found that I was able to score better on the ACT and submitted that instead of my SAT
You helped me so much this entire year to stay motivated and work hard for my dreams and I feel prepared for the new school year now! I genuinely look up to you and when it’s hard you remind me it’s possible. Thank you a lot ❤️❤️
her EC's are not exactly "pointed", more well-rounded, yet she still got into amazing schools which goes to show how you don't have to follow all the advice you hear from advisors on the internet and can just do what you love! :))
jesus chrissttt in my public school we cant take more than 7 classes and you have so many more class options 😭😭 YOU GOT A 1550 THE FIRST TIME ON THE SAT im crying YOU GOT A 5 ON 7 AP TESTS IM SOBBINGGG 😭
I don't know why I am watching this... I'll start my master's this fall haha. You are very impressive and amazing :) ! I guess I kinda regret not being as invested in high school, but in my country it doesn't really matter. You must have incredible time management skills, well done !
@@okaypearl same. 👍 But im pretty sure if you just take extension/methods classes that might have the same affect as honors. Im also going to try to get at lest one additional diploma in business/ VET cert., so.. Thats my tip to you. 👍 Oh btw are you at a private or pubic school? Bc im at a private one so I dont know if they offer as much at public schools (although I do know they offer some cool stuff - my brother goes to an independent public school).
Imagine don't knowing anything of what that means, wanting to go to a USA university and your school does not does the SAT nor helps you preparing yourself for ANYTHING. Your extra curriculars aren't graded and you don't know to write an essay. *welcome to my life, im in freshman year of a latin american "highschool"*
Do not compare yourself. She comes from a loving + supportive family which allowed her to ascertain her goals a bit easier than some others. Most americans do not have these opportunities or the financial means to do so.
@Valarie Gem no I'm not implying all families are poor. And yes, I am saying that because not everyone has supportive parents that want them to succeed. It is an unfortunate reality for some, but not all. My tuition was ~45k not including bookings, parking, or food. I did not get any support from my parents (financially/emotionally/mentally) which made it so much more difficult. Some people have to do it all on their own. Not everyone has to struggle through it like I, or others have.
This video honestly makes me feel better because it feels like every havard/Yale admit has a HUGE thing, like they had the cure to cancer, so this honestly makes me feel better :)
This was really inspiring! Last year (sophomore year) I slacked off A LOT and when my grades came back I panicked because I was failing 3 classes, which had never happened to me before. It was a major wake up call, so I'm preparing for my junior year with the goal of a 3.8 GPA (at least) and being in the top 5% of my class. Good luck at Harvard, and great video!
mallory YOU WILL succeed!!! I was in the same position and ended up getting all As junior year!! Everything will work out. I’m in college now and things are going wayyyy better.
so jealous of the people who dont have financial problems, mental problems and just have a terrible life situation and can actually concentrate on school work.
Thank you so much!! I know you have no obligation to make this video, but this gave me so much hope to apply to Harvard Early action. Seeing someone like you to whom I share many similarities with gives the motivation to apply. Thanks again!🥰
Thanks for this much needed video! I’m a rising senior, and I couldn’t be more nervous and excited about college apps, choosing colleges, and ending high school on a good note!
This is an compliment, good one . Don't take it negatively (I am saying this because some might take it negatively) You really look like a doll (as per your age)
This gives me a little hope. I have similar grades and extra curriculars and while it’s no guarantee that I’ll get in to the school I want, it still reassures me a bit
Can you please do a time management video like how you schedule your day to be productive. Like fun stuff outside of school and how much time you spend studying/ doing hw.
Ok this is crazy, we have the exact same SAT and PSAT breakdown: 1550 750 R/W 800 M 21/24 essay and 1500 PSAT with 740 R/W 760 M 224 Index score, NMS, National AP Scholar too.... I'm shook tbh. Honestly I can't believe you took the risk of only applying to 5 colleges (the best ones in the nation lol) but it paid off and you got into Harvard and Yale! But when I first read your acceptances I was expecting another superhuman asian with national awards and published research but when you went through your application it gave me hope. You seem like a really genuine person who doesn't do activities just to impress colleges and probably your rec's talked about how nice you were. I want to go into finance/ economics and there aren't things like science fairs, summer programs, and research for that area so I didn't rlly do that stuff and recently I was really regretting not doing those impressive things that I didn't rlly care about, but it was really cool to see how being genuine can get you into dream schools too. But I'm still amazed that you only applied to 5 schools... I had a hard time narrowing it down to 27.... I know it might be a problem but idk lol. And like the same scores that is legit voodoo or smthg. Is it ok to write humble things in your essays? I kinda want to talk about how I love animals but I am worried colleges won't care as much as me talking about my career goals and intellectual interests.
omg if ur up for it plz make a time management video about how you schedule your days. I have alot of trouble w time management and any and all advice would be amazing!
I’m a freshman in high school and I’m taking all of the opportunities I can but we don’t have many AP classes or honor society kind of things so I’m not sure how to make my college applications look good when I need to. We also have required classes that they don’t offer honors or AP for that bring my GPA down. Right now it’s at a 4.3 but I think by senior year when I can take more APs (I’m taking one right now because it’s all they offer for freshman and I tested in) it might get to around a 4.4-5 at the highest. I also like to be involved in the musical which counts as a college prep class and is bringing my GPA down.
I am a sophomore and I barely have time for the extracurricular activities I do, I am a volunteer at my schools college and career counseling center, I am the secretary of my philosophy club, member of FBLA/DECA, and am the captain of my rowing team at my school. Also I aid at my religious school as well!
okay so one question - how did you manage to take all those classes and doing all the extra stuff? i am shoook! how did you extend the day? please send me the tips haha. im not from us tho or other country that english is first language in, im from poland and i dont have time in school year! i only have time to do my homework, study for all of the subjects (keep in mind i dont have the same classes every day - each day i have something little bit different, in total i had like 14 or 15 classes last year). you're a hero to me! in fact, i think you are a superwoman! keep doing all the amazing things. big congratulations on getting into the ivys
this video called me dumb in 100 languages,,, finished off freshman year with a damn 3.3 lmao also I didn't know that counselors had to write a letter of recommendation, I've been to her office crying at least 4 times within the school year (our academic and emotional counselors are the same at my school) BIG YIKES
I have been a varsity cross country captain since middle school throughout highschool, and i also took ap/honors classes alot, my elective would be business
Hi Christine! I need some advice! (Sorry if this is long). Just for some background info, I'm going into my junior year, and I'm not striving for Ivies--I am, however, looking into top 25/top 50 schools in the U.S. I've gotten straight A's (including 2 or 3 A-'s) throughout freshman and sophomore year. Last year, I also took AP World and scored a 5 on the exam. I need some advice on my schedule next year--I'm planning on taking APUSH, APES, AP Stat, and DE Lang/Comp (I plan on taking the AP Lang exam). For electives, I am taking the Newspaper--I took it last year and became an editor this year--and I am doing Writing Center as a writing tutor. I did Spanish for 5 years, and am choosing not to go into AP. I'm wondering, should I tough it out and take AP Calc or stick with AP Stat (I chose it because I am taking a doubleblocked science and didn't want to be too stressed out). Also, does this schedule seem competitive? My extracurriculars are pretty strong--I play tennis, have a TH-cam channel, participate in Marine Conservation Club, go to Sunday School, and I have two jobs (one as an unpaid volunteer). I also plan on starting a Bullet Journaling club next year and being in NHS. I just really want to get your opinion! Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for the tips for high school in this video! They are really helpful 💗😁😁 I'm going to 12th grade this year and I am very nervous and excited. It's scary because I dont know what college I'm going to get accepted into , the classes I'm taking as well as where I want to go to college . But overall , I want to experience college . Also, congrats on getting into Harvard🎉 I wish you the best of luck! Boston is an amazing city to live in
I'm so lucky to have had this video in my recommended videos. I'm Canadian, so I never hear about any college application requirements unless I take initiative myself. I'm a freshman self-teaching myself AP Biology, Statistics, Chemistry and Calculus AB, and thanks to your video I decided I should take the SAT Biology M subject test in June after my AP Biology examination. I would have missed the deadline and would have had to re-study the material!
Wonderful video. Thanks for your down to earth advice. Your achievements are major and I admire your hardwork but you somehow managed to not intimidate. ❤❤
I know it's off topic.. But Gurl! You look super freaking cute!! And I am in love with your voice!! And you seem like a damn genius!! You are soo talented in all ways possible!
I wish I could take honors classes. I’m a sophomore and I go to a charter school due to my sport. The honors and AP classes are on days that conflict with my schedule ;-;
I told my swim coach that my mom had surgery and could not drive me to practice (which is true) and that was the reason why I had missed 4 practices ( and they had tryouts the week before so it wasn't a big deal) and he said, "You have a shit ton of excuses, don't you." :/ nice
I moved and left all my friends and now I’m a freshman with no friends but like everyone looks like they have friends so I just find a bench and eat alone. It’s only my second day so far but I really am not liking high school and I feel so lonely even in class when sitting with people
It gets better! Trust me!! And I probably shouldn't say this but: don't trust anyone blindly because at the end of the day, you don't know these people but you'll make amazing friendships

Can you please do a time management video like how you schedule your day to be productive. Like fun stuff outside of school and how much time you spend studying/ doing hw.
Hi my name is Cristina and I’m truly inspired by your videos, I’m my dream school is Harvard, you really inspire me to live up that dream :)
i don’t normally comment but i love your videos! i’m a rising freshman in high school and your advice is really helpful!
amazing video!! Thank you for the advice !!
Ok this is crazy, we have the exact same SAT and PSAT breakdown: 1550 750 R/W 800 M 21/24 essay and 1500 PSAT with 740 R/W 760 M 224 Index score, NMS, National AP Scholar too.... I'm shook tbh. Honestly I can't believe you took the risk of only applying to 5 colleges (the best ones in the nation lol) but it paid off and you got into Harvard and Yale! But when I first read your acceptances I was expecting another superhuman asian with national awards and published research but when you went through your application it gave me hope. You seem like a really genuine person who doesn't do activities just to impress colleges and probably your rec's talked about how nice you were. I want to go into finance/ economics and there aren't things like science fairs, summer programs, and research for that area so I didn't rlly do that stuff and recently I was really regretting not doing those impressive things that I didn't rlly care about, but it was really cool to see how being genuine can get you into dream schools too. But I'm still amazed that you only applied to 5 schools... I had a hard time narrowing it down to 27.... I know it might be a problem but idk lol. And like the same scores that is legit voodoo or smthg. Is it ok to write humble things in your essays? I kinda want to talk about how I love animals but I am worried colleges won't care as much as me talking about my career goals and intellectual interests.
Can you please film HOW TO STUDY FOR THE SAT ??? ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ 요즘 점수 안 올라서 넘 걱정이에요ㅜㅜㅜㅜ
okay but editing goals?!!!
Thank you so much for making this video, you are humble and such an inspiration.
wtf spanish 4 honors as a freshmen LOL i took spanish 1 in 8th and now ima be a freshman and i’m taking spanish 1 again LOL
She probably ended up taking Spanish 4 as she did High school Spanish from the beginning of middle school
SAMEEEE
I passed Spanish 1 in seventh grade. YOO- 💀💀
I am taking Hon French in 9th grade 💀💀💀
omg if ur up for it plz make a time management video about how you schedule your days. I have alot of trouble w time management and any and all advice would be amazing!
I’m a freshman in high school and I’m taking all of the opportunities I can but we don’t have many AP classes or honor society kind of things so I’m not sure how to make my college applications look good when I need to. We also have required classes that they don’t offer honors or AP for that bring my GPA down. Right now it’s at a 4.3 but I think by senior year when I can take more APs (I’m taking one right now because it’s all they offer for freshman and I tested in) it might get to around a 4.4-5 at the highest. I also like to be involved in the musical which counts as a college prep class and is bringing my GPA down.
I'm a freshman too lol
Colleges see what courses your school is offering and how well you are doing so if you take less AP classes due to the school... then that's ok
thank you for making this!! love you christine🤩
yay earlyyy !!! love you christine !!!
I am a sophomore and I barely have time for the extracurricular activities I do, I am a volunteer at my schools college and career counseling center, I am the secretary of my philosophy club, member of FBLA/DECA, and am the captain of my rowing team at my school. Also I aid at my religious school as well!
i cant wait to cry this year!
u can do this
No wonder why you got into Harvard....but yeahh you're my inspiration ♥️
I'm a rising senior! Schools starts soon and this is super helpful. Thanks so much! You're truly an inspiration :)
okay so one question - how did you manage to take all those classes and doing all the extra stuff? i am shoook! how did you extend the day? please send me the tips haha. im not from us tho or other country that english is first language in, im from poland and i dont have time in school year! i only have time to do my homework, study for all of the subjects (keep in mind i dont have the same classes every day - each day i have something little bit different, in total i had like 14 or 15 classes last year). you're a hero to me! in fact, i think you are a superwoman! keep doing all the amazing things. big congratulations on getting into the ivys
My mouth dropping after seeing her grades. AAA-AAAAA+AA+ whattttttttt
The first thing that drew my attention were those eyes... Oh my goodness, you have extremely lovely eyes!
this video called me dumb in 100 languages,,, finished off freshman year with a damn 3.3 lmao also I didn't know that counselors had to write a letter of recommendation, I've been to her office crying at least 4 times within the school year (our academic and emotional counselors are the same at my school) BIG YIKES
Omg I cried 5 times!
3.3 is good compared to me I finished my freshmen year with a 1.8
You’re amazing! Congrats on your successes!
your hair is so cute!!!
Imagine being this smart
I have been a varsity cross country captain since middle school throughout highschool, and i also took ap/honors classes alot, my elective would be business
did you get into one of your dream schools?
why is she perfect
congrats! i was wondering, did you refer to your extracurricular activities throughout your application, like in your essay?
Hi Christine! I need some advice! (Sorry if this is long). Just for some background info, I'm going into my junior year, and I'm not striving for Ivies--I am, however, looking into top 25/top 50 schools in the U.S. I've gotten straight A's (including 2 or 3 A-'s) throughout freshman and sophomore year. Last year, I also took AP World and scored a 5 on the exam. I need some advice on my schedule next year--I'm planning on taking APUSH, APES, AP Stat, and DE Lang/Comp (I plan on taking the AP Lang exam). For electives, I am taking the Newspaper--I took it last year and became an editor this year--and I am doing Writing Center as a writing tutor. I did Spanish for 5 years, and am choosing not to go into AP. I'm wondering, should I tough it out and take AP Calc or stick with AP Stat (I chose it because I am taking a doubleblocked science and didn't want to be too stressed out). Also, does this schedule seem competitive? My extracurriculars are pretty strong--I play tennis, have a TH-cam channel, participate in Marine Conservation Club, go to Sunday School, and I have two jobs (one as an unpaid volunteer). I also plan on starting a Bullet Journaling club next year and being in NHS. I just really want to get your opinion! Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for the tips for high school in this video! They are really helpful 💗😁😁
I'm going to 12th grade this year and I am very nervous and excited. It's scary because I dont know what college I'm going to get accepted into , the classes I'm taking as well as where I want to go to college . But overall , I want to experience college .
Also, congrats on getting into Harvard🎉 I wish you the best of luck! Boston is an amazing city to live in
I'm so lucky to have had this video in my recommended videos. I'm Canadian, so I never hear about any college application requirements unless I take initiative myself. I'm a freshman self-teaching myself AP Biology, Statistics, Chemistry and Calculus AB, and thanks to your video I decided I should take the SAT Biology M subject test in June after my AP Biology examination. I would have missed the deadline and would have had to re-study the material!
Wonderful video. Thanks for your down to earth advice. Your achievements are major and I admire your hardwork but you somehow managed to not intimidate. ❤❤
you are like the cutest being on earth😍
I know it's off topic.. But Gurl! You look super freaking cute!! And I am in love with your voice!! And you seem like a damn genius!! You are soo talented in all ways possible!
I wish I could take honors classes. I’m a sophomore and I go to a charter school due to my sport. The honors and AP classes are on days that conflict with my schedule ;-;
I REALLY ADMIRE YOU !!
If you’re allowed to can you please read the essay you wrote to get into Harvard please🥳💞😭😭😩
you scare me. so much.
but I am also super inspired :) :) love your vids!
So your super smart basically. Can u talk about how u chose your majors and what u wanna do with them?
My confidence after watching went 📈
Seeing your video makes me want to redo high school but kind of late, I graduated 8 years ago LOL
It would be amazing if you could make a time management video!
please do a video of "study with me" or "how I get productive" huhu freshmen stud here :) luv ur videos!
I told my swim coach that my mom had surgery and could not drive me to practice (which is true) and that was the reason why I had missed 4 practices ( and they had tryouts the week before so it wasn't a big deal) and he said, "You have a shit ton of excuses, don't you." :/ nice
I moved and left all my friends and now I’m a freshman with no friends but like everyone looks like they have friends so I just find a bench and eat alone. It’s only my second day so far but I really am not liking high school and I feel so lonely even in class when sitting with people
It gets better! Trust me!! And I probably shouldn't say this but: don't trust anyone blindly because at the end of the day, you don't know these people but you'll make amazing friendships
omg thank u thank u thank u ive been waiting for this
im going into sophomore year and im worried ab all these tests 😐 like i get straight As and do well on my exams but sats seem so intimidating :(
well, good luck! I hope you do well :)
this video was amazing thank you! you are such an inspiration to me💕🤩
At last,I found desired video of extracurricular.
Thank you sooo much.
Love from India.🇮🇳
