I'm a college adviser who works with HS students and supports with college applications. I will say that everything you mentioned in your video is AMAZING and very accurate. Keep it up!
this gave me such a flashback to college apps szn. can’t tell you how happy it makes me that it could help you power thru🙏 keep grinding, you got this!!
Oooooh Yah! I didn't apply to the UCs but I found some of your advice really helpful for my other essays. You're amazing! No wonder you got into Yale. Please keep em coming . . . .
Yyyaaasss, girl!👏👏👏 These are some really great tips that many applicants will be needing on their UC apps. I think that your tip about really researching your top UC choice and then giving them that nudge was really important. I wish I could've gone back through my essays and really give those specific schools that nudge lol. But it's all good though because the school I ended up attending turned out to be an unexpected blessing. Keep it up :)
Thats what I did. Just finished today. Tip put a 30 minute timer for everything. To finish first draft. To edit. To make a 2nd draft. The time pressure motivated me
@@AnnaReynoso yes I'll be applying this year but I'm just a little worried cuz I'm an international student(Indian) and there's no information about converting Indian percentage into american gpa system on the internet so I don't really know where I stand and all
ahhh best of luck w applying🙏 don’t let stats & all that stress you out tho! just rest assured knowing you’ve done your best & continue to give it your all this year. & just let yalls amazing selves shine thru in your applications (& especially essays). y’all got this!!
I want my major to be Literature and multiple languages. I want to continue to learn my Spanish, then maybe move on to German, Japanese, and Korean. And I love writing, I want to write my own books someday, I also am good with art so yes.
When filling in the activities section, would you be able to include specific events you volunteered for? I usually am a volunteer at awareness walks, but I’m not sure if it would look like I’m not committed to one.
I stumbled upon this video and I just want to thank you 😊❤️. I have been really nervous and stressed about applying. For the personal insight questions I hope I can discuss about the circumstances I faced such as suffering from an ED (in a sophomore year), and being shy (now I’m not really I’m able to ask questions freely and ask for help w/o feeling shy). I’m interested in majoring in psychology and minoring in criminology.
so happy it could help! and ahhh , i’m so proud of your growth!! 🙏💕 definitely don’t be afraid to be vulnerable and talk about those very impactful parts of your life in your essays. best of luck!!
I ended up not writing it 💀 I was really thinking abt it and I felt like it wouldn’t be right for me, esp when there was close to no chance of me being accepted
If I am only applying to one UC, is it okay if I single them out in my essays by naming them? I’m submitting mine in the next few days and definitely mentioned ucsb a few times, but I’m not sure if I should take that out since that is the only one I’m applying to and want to make my interest in that specific school really noticeable. If you could let me know that would be super helpful!! Thank you for these tips :)
ouuu that’s a good question. i honestly don’t know 1000% how they’d view it. if you were to specifically mention them, maybe also mention that you love it sm that you’re only applying to that UC. so they know you’re not the type to backstab the others baha. plus would show your true commitment to that UC. does it happen to talk ab this on the UC’s FAQs??
Yay I was hoping for this kind of response because I just submitted it last night....😬😂I also made it clear I was only applying to their school so I hope that helps. I’ll take a look at some more faq’s about the UC application to see if I can find anything else. Thank you for your response!
NGL, Tip 4 was kind of wrong??? Watch some of the counselor webinars, they don't care a whole lot about the narrative and scene-setting stuff. They want you to be detailed, specific, and concise.
Ahhh makes sense! Yeah no, yt sends a notification for any comment, so i always reply no matter how old a video is aha. And thank ya, i’m glad you like the content!! 🙏

Apply to UCSB and UCSC! The have, by far, the best college experiences of all the UC's.
definitely so worth applying to those UCs !! ngl, the way they talked ab the UCSB beach experience made it too tempting 😩
I want my major to be Literature and multiple languages. I want to continue to learn my Spanish, then maybe move on to German, Japanese, and Korean. And I love writing, I want to write my own books someday, I also am good with art so yes.
yESSSIR, we love a multi-talented scholar !! those are amazing aims, keep fighting for your goals, you got this!
Anna Reynoso thanks! This is persuasive!
When filling in the activities section, would you be able to include specific events you volunteered for? I usually am a volunteer at awareness walks, but I’m not sure if it would look like I’m not committed to one.
These tips are really helpful! Thank you
eyyy i'm so glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this video! I'm applying to a few UC's and I really want to get into UC Santa Cruz, hoping to major in Astrophysics :)

@@KB-mq9hb omg hi
baha this is so cute🥺 deadline got pushed back tho apparently so🕺
Where would you explain the extenuating circumstances?
ouuu good question. i’d have to go back to specifically see where. but i’m 99.999% sure there’s a section for additional information, no??
