- Hi everyone, I just wanted to document and share a part of my college applications (even if they are a little embarrassing). This was one of the most stress-inducing, tear-inducing, and tiring processes I've done but if anyone has any questions feel free to leave them below!

Hi everyone I ended up posting my common app and UC essays on TikTok! I'm still considering making a video going in depth about my stats, essays, and ecs for the future but you can read my common app and more on my TikTok: 4mandahh
Thanks for providing your actual gpa which adds much needed context to these college reaction videos lol.
congrats girl! NYU is crazy!
Not bad, NYU! Congrats girl!🌹
congratulations 🎉
Just pray you get a good career.
Udub is my dream school, hella people be underestimating how hard it is to get in fr.
Congrats, I hope you are enjoying school!! just curious, what majors did you apply with? Also, what did you talk about in your essays...would you make a video?
I applied under bioengineering or chemical engineering. My supplemental essays really just talked about extracurriculars and my interest in STEM. For my common app, it was more personal, and may do a video on it in the future but I'm not sure right now.
Can you make a video about your extracurriculars and awards you put on the nyu application and advice that you can give because I'll be going through the application process next year. Also, congratulations!!
Thank you so much! I don't think I'll be filming a stats video at this time but most of my extracurriculars were pretty basic. I did recreational dance both inside and outside of school along with a bunch of school clubs. One extracurricular I think really helped me stand out was an internship I did with my county's government I was able to get a letter of rec from my supervisor and also write a few supplemental essays on it. I really only have some basic tips but I was lucky enough to have a college counselor and would 100% recommend having one. If that's not something you're able to do you can also get teachers and friends to read and edit your essays. Try to stand out as much as you can, pretty much everyone applying to NYU has around the same GPA so stand out in extracurriculars and essays! That being said college is what you make of it so don't let decisions tear you down. If you have any more questions I'd be happy to answer them either here or you can message me on IG: amanda.gong_ 💗
ok thank you@@4mandah
@@4mandah How did you go about asking your supervisor for the letter of recommendation? Also where did you submit this letter of rec to.. was it through the common app? Thank You for this video! Congratulations on your success❤
@@mahogany.3751 My supervisor actually offered to write it for me but don't be scared to ask! Whether it's shooting an email or talking to them in person most will be willing to write them as long as you give them enough time in advance. I also submitted it through the common app
U can always opt out of going to more school
Congrats!!! Do you feel like you fulfill the typical profile of a young Asian girl ? Beautiful!!!!
Congratulations!!! Did you choose NYU, Northeastern, or UC Santa Barbara?
P.S. - Thank you for showing us the schools you applied to and discussing it because a lot of people just pop it on the screen for a millisecond and before you can blink the list disappears. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I ended up choosing NYU! It was a really hard decision between those 3 schools but NYU had been my dream school since 5th grade.
@@4mandah Awwwww that’s awesome!!!!
You have to go to NYU great campus, I got excepted there for a graduate degree in 1983.
I actually did end up choosing NYU! I'll be there in a week to move in.
Why Cornell and Berkeley if, as you stated, you didn't really want to attend?
Part of it was just to make me feel better cause I knew I wasn't getting in. At the time I applied, I did genuinely consider both of these schools but as I got decisions back and started to envision myself at colleges UC Berkeley and Columbia just didn't really fit. Both schools are extremely rigorous and competitive which is what gives them their rankings but also creates an environment where I'd probably burn out in and think I wasn't good enough. There are some other reasons for each college as well but that's the major one.
BTW the nine Colonial Colleges are Harvard 1636, W&M 1693, Yale 1754, Pennsylvania 1740 (also known a PENN N O T UPENN), Princeton 1746, Columbia 1754, Brown 1764, RUTGERS! 1766, and Dartmouth 1769.
what were ur statssss
I ended with a 4.42 GPA and I discuss the AP classes I took in the video!
Which school and major in nyu
Chemical and Biomolecular engineering at Tandon
@@4mandah are you committing
@@zombieandgames1452 I am!
@@4mandah ayeee congratz, I am bio and chem eng major too c/o 2026, wanna be friends!!
@@4mandah that’s exciting, I’ll see you in the fall. I’m a junior if you have any questions, let me know.
lol fail
It's crazy to think that this is going to be me next year, and your predicting that you got into NYU and actually getting in must've been so cool!
It was pretty surreal especially because originally I wasn't even going to opt in. Senior year's definitely a ride so enjoy it while it lasts but for colleges as long as you do the research and put the time in you'll be fine.
