I’m pretty sure 4-0-0 means all of the 4 committee members agreed to admit you. This function should mean admit - waitlist - reject. Congratulations on your acceptance, and I’m in the same process to apply to Stanford right now but I’m applying to Stanford for graduate admissions! Have been admitted to UPenn and Columbia, hopefully either Yale or Stanford can admit me as well! Keep up the good work!!
Tyrant Jesus The programs I applied at Columbia ad UPenn review applications on a rolling basis and I submitted applications in early September so that’s why I got offers from these two schools this early. Stanford and Yale review applications simultaneously so that’s why I’m only going to get answers from them in March.
I'm not applying to Stanford but this video helped me a lot regardless. You helped me get a better feel for what admission offices might look for in students. Thank you and best of luck at Stanford!
Congrats! Do you have any tips/advice/recommendations on how to do well enough in highschool in order to be considered by Stanford? ( It's my dream school)
Omg congratulations !!! 🌲🌲 That’s amazing. I hope you come to Stanford, you won’t regret it! Or try to come to admit weekend and see how you feel on campus :)
I remember watching ur video before applying to stanford and i got rejected last friday but it's ok :)) I tried my best and that was worth it. thank you again!!!
Allie L. Sorry to hear! I was also recently rejected from my dream school (Oxford), but that’s ok! I bet you and I will end up at a place that we’ll both be happy with!
That’s a good attitude to have! Stanford would have been lucky to have you, but i know you’ll find somewhere better to thrive 🥰 best of luck to you with the rest of applications! thanks so much for supporting my channel ❤️
Shouts out to you!!! First generation college student and you got into a well respected institution! From one first gen student to another I’m proud of you 👏🏾
You're smart. beautiful, driven and focused! You need wayyyy more recognition because this is high key inspirational. And did I mention that you're beautiful!!!💖💖💖 God bless you!
So I looked into some of the abbreviations you mention and I think this is what I'm getting at: PRI - Priority - So I don't know if you applied early or you were on high priority FRPL - Free/Reduced Lunch Program ECD 86 - Environmental Context Dashboard - I think this was when the college board was doing that "adversity score" so maybe the 86 was your score on that scale? So I hoped this helped you!
I was accepted through early action last Friday, and can’t wait to view my application file. Thanks for this video! Hopefully I’ll see you on campus ☺️
Hi Nazjaa - I don't know you & 1st time visiting ur channel, but I'm hella proud of you:-) I'm sure I'm old enough to be ur father, so take what I say here for what it's worth. The most important things you will ever learn are 1. knowledge of self 2. knowledge of the Good, the Beautiful, and the True 3. What food actually is 4. Self love & compassion for others. Everything else you learn (even from a great college like Stanford) is just training for "function", in ur case high function...
Nazjaa, you dont know how much this video helped me with my essays. The points you mentioned helped me refine them to fit Stanford's criteria. I'm applying to Stanford as a regular decision applicant, and Stanford is my absolute dream. Thank you so much for helping me improve my application!
Ugh Stanford is my dream school, I’m a current junior. I think my biggest concern is my extracurriculars. I do volleyball during spring season and am athletic trainer for the two other seasons (I’m the only guy currently on the team lol). And I’m in like nhs and stuff and I’m participating in a cotillion. But I feel like I haven’t created a club or done anything like noteworthy lol
That’s ok! That’s how I felt as well. just try to market your passions as best as possible and remain genuine about your interests and purpose about wanting to go to Stanford. Plus, it’s never too late to get involved!
Just got in REA and so excited!!! Waiting on financial aid to see if I’ll be able to go, but if I do I’ll 100% view my file - this was really interesting!!
d e I feel like she would have a more good video with jose luis, jas in jollege, or kath path or any of the other cardinals that have fairly academic channels.
I am so happy that I found your channel girl it made me even more excited to attend Stanford. I just got matched through the QB Match Scholarship (Stanford ‘24) and it started to feel a little terrifying because of the way people talk about Stanford but your videos helped me get a much better feel of the school and the people and helped me believe I’ll have a place there.
Yay omg!!!! Congratulations on being matched ☺️🌲🌲 just keep in mind everyone’s experience is different but definitely don’t listen to people who do not attend stanford 😂 it’s exactly what you make of it ! i’ll keep putting out more content to help ‘24 see more sides of our university :)
Yes! QB is a program for low income students and the match program provides a full ride to one of their partner schools :) There’s a video on my channel if you’re interested in learning more!
so good to hear all these great things about you and your application!! i'm definitely curious about this and will request to view my files next school year!
I love your videos so much, and you are making such a big impact on lives through these videos. I'm applying to Stanford right now, and when I get in, I would like to personally thank you! But for now, Thank you so much ❤❤
It’s mad how in the US & UK your college admittance depends on so many factors, test scores, essays, interviews etc. In Ireland it’s 100% based on your final exams, when the exam results come out you find out a few days later whether you got in
Hi!! I got into Stanford Class of 2024!!!! Im also a QBF, but I didn’t apply through the match, I just applied with Questbridge RD and I got a likely letter!! I seriously vividly remember watching this video before I was accepted and right in the beginning of the video I was like OMG im also first gen, minority, and low income!! I got so excited but then I was like omg i’m not gonna get in. But honestly after my interview, I remember thinking ab what you said about your interviewer having a very big role in your acceptance, and I was like wow maybe I have a chance!!! So yeah, so happy to see first gen students like ourselves succeeding, and hopefully, once I commit, we can meet at Stanford!! Would love to chat and learn more ab stanford and your experience so far!!
Dang Nazjaa keep doin ya thing! Don’t get to see you on campus all too often but just wanna lyk I appreciate your realness in these videos. Keep shining!
I love your channel and videos and I was really hoping you could make a video on a Stanford deferral. I recently got deferred and the process has been confusing.
thank you!! i would love to make a video on getting deferred, I’m not too clear on the process either but i’ll do my research :) In the meantime, check out this video th-cam.com/video/1qtopPJgHXI/w-d-xo.html
class of '24 admit!! I'm so excited for admit weekend and I'm def gonna look at my admissions file. thanks! btw what were some of the "bad experiences" other students had when looking at their files?? I wouldn't think anything bad could come out of looking at the files of admitted students right?
Congratulationssss!! That’s amazing! 🌲 We’re looking forward to welcoming ‘24 to campus :) And some of the experiences I heard were that their readers were just very critical of their essays and how they presented themselves in the application. I also heard of some people who did not have good interview experiences and saw what their interviewer said about them. In the long run, it shouldn’t be too bad because we were admitted in the first place :)
I'm an international applicant (REA) from South Africa. Honestly I'm just waiting for my rejection letter in December. Its been a good learning experience. Stanford was and is my dream. I felt deep inside me that applying to Stanford is something I always wanted to do. Just the experience of applying has taught me a lot about myself and really made me dig to discover who I am. Its been a blast.
@@irenee77890 I'm scared as fuck. Expecting a rejection because its freaking Stanford. Good luck for Yale! If you get in, please update in the comments.
This video was so helpful, thanks so much for this! I’ve wanted to get into Stanford for a while, so this information was great :) congrats and good luck at Stanford!
I wanted to apply to Stanford, but the people they have previously accepted from my country (Peru) are really impressive and I’m not that impressive haha so well 😂😂😭.
Stanford is my second top school, after Harvard I applied RD, hoping that my extracurricular sports save me. This video’s pretty cool on what they focus on in admissions. But congrats on your accomplishments, even if I don’t get in. This was a cool video
Hey! You said that essays played a really large role in your acceptance, is there anyway that you can share some of them with me so I can get an idea of what stanford wants specifically? Thanks!
also keep in mind it’s really hard to tell what STANFORD wants, so instead of trying to sculpt your essays around what they want, try to just answer the question honestly!
Hello! Thanks for this video it was super informative and cool to see the application from an admissions officers point of view. I'm currently working on my Questbridge application, and would love to see what your essays looked like. Stanford is my first choice, so hopefully this video gives me good luck :)
she has her essays in the description. She was a QB Finalist, but did not match to Stanford, she got into Stanford RD (which is awesome). The channels "8th Period" and "Alex Alvarado" are run by people who matched to Stanford, they also share their essays there.
Congratulations I’m 9 years old and I have amazing grades and my teacher said I will get a scholarship and my dream college is Stanford or Harvard Or something better. Good job you must be really smart to get in there. Your smart and pretty.
I’m 10 and I’ve always been really smart as others said. I’m going into grade 5 and this is my dream school. If I don’t get in that’s okay, but if I do, I will be really happy but I’d have to leave my mom and dad here in Illinois.
Gabby Shawn oh same! But I’m going to fourth, if I don’t get into my dream school I’ll probably start crying so hard cause it was my dream school for so long
Thank You for sharing your experience. This was helpful for me and I hope it helped others. I’ve been getting a variety of different school offers but when I try to contact someone I can’t get a response. I’m still trying to find a school to attend, I really need some advise on the right school to go to.
I'm not sure why, everybody here feels like they need to go to IVY league schools. Just go to a decent state school and you will do just as well. Even do two years of community college to save some money. You can possibly go to the state schools for less or even free! Why have all this debt? These schools are $75,000 a year or more. That's the cost of my whole 4 years of school for Mecanical Engineering. Besides most people I have interviewed with actively avoid Ivy League students, because of a superiority complex and lack of hands on experience.
I wanted to see my admissions files but the lady I spoke to in undergrad admissions said they wiped out all comments. Essentially if I ask for admissions files all I’ll get is the same application information I submitted. So nothing new. This is UPenn
Wow, the interview can make a big impact on the decision I guess. My interview for Penn did not go well at all so I am definitely expecting a rejection tomorrow, but I honestly don't care I didn't invest much effort into the school.
If it’s meant to be, it will be. If they don’t think you’ll fit, they won’t accept you. Colleges have a good idea of who will succeed and fit into their culture
I’m not sure, I don’t think I submitted the common app for stanford! Sorry i can’t remember 😩 Either way, my Common App and QB essay were the same. The only extra things I submitted to Stanford were the supplements
I’m a sophomore at one of the most competitive high schools in the state. It’s hard as it is to get into an Ivy League college, but my environment makes it even harder. Left and right, everyone is trying to be better than the person beside them. Being a person who isn’t really at the top, I’m trying to do my best by standing out, and this is by being a 12 season athlete. Soccer, wrestling, and track for all 4 years. I figured that would make me stand out along the people who spend their time purely focused on studying. Someone told me, however, that that isn’t enough, and I need to start getting myself involved in clubs. How am I supposed to do that when I’m already invested in sports? And on top of that, I have 2 honors classes and an AP class as well. I would like some advice as to know whether what I’m doing is enough or if that person is telling a fact. Btw, your videos are so helpful, you are really hardworking and I feel like that’s the absolute best characteristic a person could have. Reply back if you get I chance :)
Hey nazjaa, this doesn’t exactly pertain to Stanford but do highly selective schools like Stanford and the Ivy’s have a “cut-off” score for applicants? I’ve read somewhere that some schools don’t even consider your application if your score is below an certain guideline.
Best to ask a particular institution whether they use a cut-off and what it is. Then you can maybe save yourself the cost and time of an application. But the answer will probably be "no" for any of the highly-selective colleges. Public state colleges, OTOH, may have either cut-offs which keep you out, or "cut-ins" ; ) guaranteeing admission to in-state applicants with grades/test scores above certain thresholds. The bigger and more useful question, though HS applicants never seem to think about it, is "Do I want to go to the highest-rated school I can get in to, maybe struggling and not doing well, or a school better matched to my level of academic ability where I can thrive and be successful." Students always assume that being admitted to the most competitive school they applied to is a good thing, but then four years later after they end up going there that may or may not turn out to have been the case. Back when I was shuffling through (engineering) job applications looking for people to hire, poor grades from a premier college were less appealing than good grades from an average one. [Remember that when you don't get in to your "reach" college... it was all for the best! : ) ] There is a solid alternative for anyone who maybe hasn't been exceptional in high school for whatever reasons but is excited about learning and wants to get as much out of their higher education as possible: Community college for the first two years. Not everyone matures academically at the same rate. If your first two years of HS sucked but things were starting to fall into place junior or senior year -- too late to save your GPA -- give strong consideration to a CC as a way of repairing that situation and moving forward. The academics is often perfectly good at those. I did two years of Calculus at a CC while in HS, and then went straight into upper-level math classes as a freshman at the Ivy where I got an engineering degree. The main thing is if you're going to do a CC, go at it as if you were at a college as demanding as you dream about getting in to. Work yourself harder than what the profs require. Mostly "A"s are a forgone conclusion, because compared to others in your classes you are working so damn hard. Extra hours a day on top-quality papers (i.e. getting it written is just the start -- now comes the rewrites until it's as close to perfect as you can get it); additional problems from the math/science texts. Set a floor of at least four hours every weekday after classes for school work, both class assignments and self-assignments such as reading great works of literature, learning Statistics, ??. Then when your great grades get you in to a great four-year, you've already equipped yourself with the self-discipline and academic skills you will need to thrive in a high-pressure environment.
Does anyone know how economically disadavatganed you have to be to qualify for quest bridge. Kinda unsure if questbridge is possible as a part of a middle class family.
Adara Toran just checked, your family has to earn below 65k/year. it’s hard for middle class kids. too wealthy to qualify for financial aid but too poor to pay ridiculous prices.

Girl- I just came from your TikTok your voice sounds so different that I imagined but I love it
Hey! You said that essays played a really large role in your acceptance, is there anyway that you can share some of them with me so I can get an idea of what stanford wants specifically? Thanks!
of course! here’s the link: docs.google.com/document/d/1Y8z-JJGSmVrtbQeqnUdQ-UceU_WY6XvLPxvwskDv_ho
also keep in mind it’s really hard to tell what STANFORD wants, so instead of trying to sculpt your essays around what they want, try to just answer the question honestly!
nazjaa Thank you so much!
i got into stanford with a 3.0 gpa thank GOD FOR AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
Hi!! Do you mind sharing your stats, like your SAT and extra curriculars?. Just curious :D
Hello! Thanks for this video it was super informative and cool to see the application from an admissions officers point of view. I'm currently working on my Questbridge application, and would love to see what your essays looked like. Stanford is my first choice, so hopefully this video gives me good luck :)
she has her essays in the description. She was a QB Finalist, but did not match to Stanford, she got into Stanford RD (which is awesome). The channels "8th Period" and "Alex Alvarado" are run by people who matched to Stanford, they also share their essays there.
@@ninaleach9150 Thank you so so much, I really appreciate you helping me out :))
You inspire me frr❤️
thank you sm ❤️
sooo helpful! thank you! (:
of course ❤️❤️
Congratulations 👏🏾❤️
Congratulations
I’m 9 years old and I have amazing grades and my teacher said I will get a scholarship and my dream college is Stanford or Harvard Or something better. Good job you must be really smart to get in there. Your smart and pretty.
statt applying u don't need the sat flr next ywar
I’m 10 and I’ve always been really smart as others said. I’m going into grade 5 and this is my dream school. If I don’t get in that’s okay, but if I do, I will be really happy but I’d have to leave my mom and dad here in Illinois.
Gabby Shawn oh same! But I’m going to fourth, if I don’t get into my dream school I’ll probably start crying so hard cause it was my dream school for so long
you deserve waaaay more views
Helpful video.... Thanks 💛
of course 💖💖
Could you please do a video on your stats in high school? Such an inspiration ❤️❤️😊😊
This helped so much I want to get into Stanford so bad even though I have a while till I can apply
Thank You for sharing your experience. This was helpful for me and I hope it helped others. I’ve been getting a variety of different school offers but when I try to contact someone I can’t get a response. I’m still trying to find a school to attend, I really need some advise on the right school to go to.
Great video!! Love you queen ❤️
thank youuu ily too 🥰🥰
nazjaa ahh geeking out, one question tho: would u mind reading my stanford essays, i didn’t get in through the match but i would appreciate your input
I'm not sure why, everybody here feels like they need to go to IVY league schools.
Just go to a decent state school and you will do just as well.
Even do two years of community college to save some money.
You can possibly go to the state schools for less or even free!
Why have all this debt?
These schools are $75,000 a year or more.
That's the cost of my whole 4 years of school for Mecanical Engineering.
Besides most people I have interviewed with actively avoid Ivy League students, because of a superiority complex and lack of hands on experience.
Amish Caillou it’s free if you’re low income... that’s why.
Ashleigh E exactly...ivys have the best aid for low income kids.
Hey I loved the video! Did they take any notes on the recommendation letters?
Stanford is my dream school and I applied this year, i’m really nervous. Wish me the best because I really have no idea how i’m going to do 😵💫😵💫
Does anyone else have this option at their schools? I’m kinda curious now 👀
I would like to know as well! I think I know of a few other schools that allow you to see your files.
I wanted to see my admissions files but the lady I spoke to in undergrad admissions said they wiped out all comments. Essentially if I ask for admissions files all I’ll get is the same application information I submitted. So nothing new. This is UPenn
"I don't know what that means" Basically the whole video.
Could you do a brief video explaining how your interview went, and some interview tips?
Would love to! Thanks for the suggestion, it’s coming soon
Can you do a video on your interview process?
Wow, the interview can make a big impact on the decision I guess. My interview for Penn did not go well at all so I am definitely expecting a rejection tomorrow, but I honestly don't care I didn't invest much effort into the school.
If it’s meant to be, it will be. If they don’t think you’ll fit, they won’t accept you. Colleges have a good idea of who will succeed and fit into their culture
It can, but it can also have a very small role in the admissions process. Either way, good luck with Penn!
@@nazjaa Thanks. I was rejected though :( I'm fine I am fine with the other twenty schools I am applying too lol
Do you need an interview to get admitted? I never participated in one
No, it's not necessary :) not everyone gets one.
@@nazjaa thanks! Awesome job btw, you deserve every bit of it
thank you so much
really good video
thank you so much
@ 4:58 FRPL is probably Free and Reduced Lunch Price
yess that’s what i assumed as well, ty!
So basically..... i have no chance and should give up now and look for alternatives. LMFAO
so shes pretty, a POC, and in stanford?? GIRL what cant u do????
How did you access your admissions file? Did you waive FERPA or not?

@ 2:45 maybe PRI is personal Personal Rating Index
hmm maybe you’re right! i have 0 clue still haha
nazjaa Btw, I got deferred EA from Stanford, haha. Any advice??
I find it bizarre that the lowest number means the highest ranking?
so based on what you read in your files, does stanford read the qb as well as the common app?
I’m not sure, I don’t think I submitted the common app for stanford! Sorry i can’t remember 😩 Either way, my Common App and QB essay were the same. The only extra things I submitted to Stanford were the supplements
congrats! you are amazing and beautiful!
I’m a sophomore at one of the most competitive high schools in the state. It’s hard as it is to get into an Ivy League college, but my environment makes it even harder. Left and right, everyone is trying to be better than the person beside them. Being a person who isn’t really at the top, I’m trying to do my best by standing out, and this is by being a 12 season athlete. Soccer, wrestling, and track for all 4 years. I figured that would make me stand out along the people who spend their time purely focused on studying. Someone told me, however, that that isn’t enough, and I need to start getting myself involved in clubs. How am I supposed to do that when I’m already invested in sports? And on top of that, I have 2 honors classes and an AP class as well. I would like some advice as to know whether what I’m doing is enough or if that person is telling a fact. Btw, your videos are so helpful, you are really hardworking and I feel like that’s the absolute best characteristic a person could have. Reply back if you get I chance :)
ik this is from 2 years ago but i never related more
I was wondering about QB, did you get into the match program they had and not get matched? or did you just do their special RD.
Hey nazjaa, this doesn’t exactly pertain to Stanford but do highly selective schools like Stanford and the Ivy’s have a “cut-off” score for applicants? I’ve read somewhere that some schools don’t even consider your application if your score is below an certain guideline.
Best to ask a particular institution whether they use a cut-off and what it is. Then you can maybe save yourself the cost and time of an application. But the answer will probably be "no" for any of the highly-selective colleges. Public state colleges, OTOH, may have either cut-offs which keep you out, or "cut-ins" ; ) guaranteeing admission to in-state applicants with grades/test scores above certain thresholds.
The bigger and more useful question, though HS applicants never seem to think about it, is "Do I want to go to the highest-rated school I can get in to, maybe struggling and not doing well, or a school better matched to my level of academic ability where I can thrive and be successful." Students always assume that being admitted to the most competitive school they applied to is a good thing, but then four years later after they end up going there that may or may not turn out to have been the case. Back when I was shuffling through (engineering) job applications looking for people to hire, poor grades from a premier college were less appealing than good grades from an average one. [Remember that when you don't get in to your "reach" college... it was all for the best! : ) ]
There is a solid alternative for anyone who maybe hasn't been exceptional in high school for whatever reasons but is excited about learning and wants to get as much out of their higher education as possible: Community college for the first two years. Not everyone matures academically at the same rate. If your first two years of HS sucked but things were starting to fall into place junior or senior year -- too late to save your GPA -- give strong consideration to a CC as a way of repairing that situation and moving forward. The academics is often perfectly good at those. I did two years of Calculus at a CC while in HS, and then went straight into upper-level math classes as a freshman at the Ivy where I got an engineering degree.
The main thing is if you're going to do a CC, go at it as if you were at a college as demanding as you dream about getting in to. Work yourself harder than what the profs require. Mostly "A"s are a forgone conclusion, because compared to others in your classes you are working so damn hard. Extra hours a day on top-quality papers (i.e. getting it written is just the start -- now comes the rewrites until it's as close to perfect as you can get it); additional problems from the math/science texts. Set a floor of at least four hours every weekday after classes for school work, both class assignments and self-assignments such as reading great works of literature, learning Statistics, ??. Then when your great grades get you in to a great four-year, you've already equipped yourself with the self-discipline and academic skills you will need to thrive in a high-pressure environment.
@@marcmcreynolds2827 oh. shit. That's huge
Does Stanford look at playing multi-sports being of good extracurricular?
Do regular decision applicants get interviews?
Yes!
Wait wait wait... 4 on APUSH w/o the class??? 👀
if she took us history and govt already she could just take the apush test.
Hi! Do you have any specific tips for the interview? Any advice would be appreciated.
Does anyone know how economically disadavatganed you have to be to qualify for quest bridge. Kinda unsure if questbridge is possible as a part of a middle class family.
Adara Toran just checked, your family has to earn below 65k/year. it’s hard for middle class kids. too wealthy to qualify for financial aid but too poor to pay ridiculous prices.
It’s not a strict cut off ^ they also factor in the number of people in your family and other circumstances.
Doesn’t sound possible for me...oh well guess I’ll have to do the hard way
nazjaa yeah!!! definitely still check it out! there are other options
Thank youuuuu
Of course !! :)
Do you recommend applying through the QuestBridge college match program?
Nice video my friend ... done support you channel God bless you
thank you!!
Can you make a video on interview tips
Can you please talk about your extracurriculars?
Me a sixth grader who has none of her traits and wants to get into a good school
😵
Do I just email the admissions office? I go to Smith College.
Ok
