Successful Harvard Application Essay: • Successful Harvard App...
I applied to 5 dream schools, 2 reach schools, and 1 safety school. They were as follows:
***Dream: Harvard (Accepted), Stanford (Rejected), Yale (Rejected), Columbia (Wait-listed), Brown (Accepted)
***Reach: Berkeley (Accepted), University of Southern California (Accepted)
***Safety: University of Wisconsin (Accepted).... although, looking back on it... the UW is pretty hard to get into. So this was kind of an unsafe safety.
My philosophy when applying to schools was to only apply to schools that I would love to go to. Additionally, I applied for a ton of dream schools because I figured the more I applied to, the more likely I was to get into one of them.
AP Classes I took: AP English Literature, AP US History, AP US Government, AP Calculus AB
College Courses: Multivariable Calculus at Otterbein University, STEM classes at Ohio State University
Extra Classes: 3 years Spanish, 3 years Painting
*Oh! And I went to a public school in suburban Ohio! (That seems important to mention.)
GPA: 4.0 (unweighted), 4.7 (weighted)
ACT: 33 (normal), 34 (super score)
SAT: 2040 (can't remember individual breakdowns)
*I also took 2 SAT subject tests, but I can't remember which they were and what I got on them.
Extracurriculars: track (4 years), tennis (3 years), soccer (1 year high school, 10 years total), National Honors Society (2 years?), Ski Club (2 years)

I'm going to make a video on "how I got into community college"
LHHHHHHHHFHHHHH
Relatable
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
LoL. Just go and find what you like and what you want!
wreck'em tech 😂😂 wtf
When you say your name it sounds like " yes or no"
right omg
Arin Brandenburg I'm new so I thought she said yes or no 😂😂😂
It thought she was saying “yes or no” omfg
i think her name is Reneau and then added yes in front to make it sound like that
I think that's kind of the point..
I applied to 7 schools, got into my top choice and the best college in the state but didn't get into the lesser college lol.
wow..
lhatzia1 fuck off
Rafa Syed jelly
a legand is among you. nah B
lhatzia1 lol boasting i beh its a bad college
if i liked math so many of my high school problems would be solved
literally fucking same. im maintaining all a's right now but got a d in math
Ugh same. I nailed my IB with all 7s, and then I took Math Studies :(
Morgan BeVard Jesus Christ is God....
i love math. trust me, high school still finds a way to kick my ass
People listen you don't need to have the biggest and shiniest scroll to give to a Ivy league school. My sister went to a regular high school got a 3.8 gpa, 2100 sat, 30 act after that she attended a community college. she graduated with a 4.0 and a 2 year degree. She got offers from Columbia, Dartmouth, and Princeton. She chose Columbia. What im saying is that you don't need to feel like you need to take what this girl did.
Good luck
You cant transferí to an ivy league
+Kim Navarro You indeed can transfer to an Ivy League school. Harvard and Yale both accept transfer applications
Exactly! I had a 3.1 in high school, 32 act, and decided to go to community because I had no idea of my chances at my dream schools (Sarah Lawrence, MIT, and Barnard). I just graduated from community with a 3.3 (still an improvement) and am transferring to/moving into Sarah Lawrence next week! They gave me $10k a year in scholarship for being a community college graduate. I always tell people that community college was one of the best decisions I have *ever* made and they should seriously consider it.
Jacob Pacheco life path is much various ，i think she is bragging so much about her school
Princeton does not accept transfers
4.7?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME
Lmao I'm never going to harvard
Weighted
its unweighted
gg ez
It isn't especially hard to get a GPA of 4.0+ weighted... Take good accelerated/AP/Honors courses and get all A's. I'm currently a freshman with a 4.5 weighted. By the way, her 4.7 GPA is weighted, only weighted GPAs can be 4.0+. She even said so in her description.
Why are people saying she's milking getting into Havard? she's inspiring younger people chill
Fie Laursen she’s definitely inspiring me. Like literally i have been working so much harder in school once i found her channel.
What are you doing here Fie? :)
Fie Laursen cc
@@UnusualDevv Dont work harder work smarter
She put minimal work in and brags about graduating from an ivy league college. Which is basically bragging about getting ass fucked by todays standards.
i had a 2.0 GPA, which I never failed a class was just lazy as hell and didnt take many "advanced" courses. Now I employ 2 harvard graduates at my company. A couple more coming in soon. I fucking love how the system works, SO MUCH.
Whats your company's name?
Khristian Padua Can't tell you, it's a storage-rental company though.
everyone's saying this lmao
Feera Gardener for real? guess my case isn't special then :p
just to let everyone know, I didn't drop out of high school or college, I went into community college.. then became a diesel mechanic & used my salary to invest in other businesses and eventually start my own when I had enough capital.
Emily Baez I didn't, my workers did.
I thought her voice was a joke, like one of those announcer type imitations, at the beginning of the video but then she just kept talking the same....wtf
I know right...but you get to like it sooner..haha
I'm in grade 8, not even thinking of collage yet, why am I watching this
Because you should really start thinking about your future and start working towards it now that you're heading into highschool. (: don't get side-tracked
Megan Archbold yep , you should study now and learn to spell 'college'.
RakaUbient nice story man. But how does it relate to Harvard university lol
RakaUbient it doesn't. its irrelevant to that extend where you build a wall.
RakaUbient lol i just found that now that you're making this reply on every freaking comment. Jobless and lonely huh? I'm done with ya!
The secret to getting into any school is to write a brilliant essay: Name on top, center horizontally and vertically, 100 Font Size, write
*I AM A FUCKING LEGEND!* - get in within 5 seconds of handing it to Admissions. Walk out like you're the greatest thing in existence.
Thank me later :)
Mike Tuckerit LMAO funniest comment i read so far

YesReneau whoever takes this y’all stupid because of all of you guys do this they’re gonna see it and reject you so yeah good luck on getting rejected
You need to work on that comedic timing but congratulations
I can't open it whyyyy
Can’t open the link
It did not work!!!
It says it’s in my inbox but it isn’t!
My act scores were ehh. *proceeds to tell everyone she got a 33*
that is eh for harvard
In Canada we don't have dream schools, we have reach schools at most. But if you're smart enough, then all are safeties 😂😂
Haha Canada rocks :)
Ha
You are so right. What school do you go to in Canada?
not where I live in Canada. people come from all over the world to get into my dream school lmao
+Bailey K which one are you talking about?
I'm seeing a lot of salty people in the comments.
LoL
she gotta blend that eyeshadow
Its called a cut crease dumbass.
Hahaha
She appears to be part-American Indian? Did she buy those teeth or grow them herself?!
I watched your videos when I was applying to Stanford and I got in, thank you so much for all the help! You even inspired me to make my own channel :)
Good luck with everything!
Omg my two faves
what GPA did u have and what clubs where u in :(
Yesss! I really want to go to Stanford! How'd u do it??
Su At Su omg 😂💕
Wow congrats
This gives me so much hope. College confidential would have you thinking that you're an idiot with no shot at HYPMS type schools without at least 34 ACT/2300 SAT and 4.0 gpa coupled with national awards. You are an example that it's really about the person in the admissions process and not just stats ❤️
I've gone on the college confidential website too ( I've browsed that website too many times 😕) and you're so right. She's a great example of someone who wasn't unattainably perfect yet she still got into an amazing school because they also saw her as a person and not just as her test scores , not to say her test scores are bad or anything. Also, some stuff on college confidential could be a real blow to ones self esteem so try not to let it get to your head too much
Props for actually revealing your grades and test scores. I've noticed a lot of college TH-camrs are pretty cagey about that, including ones that got into Stanford.
U really make me feel bad about myself :( I wish i found this channel like two months ago... U got good advice
And my dad owns a multi-billion company.
I believe 😏
You’re my new sugar daddy
your daddy made that money not you HAHAHA
Matt it's u r dad not u
Can you be my mom
Excuses are for mooses and silly gooseses.
Love this video!!:))
whats better living in a dorm in harvard or renting a house
also how do u get scholarships in harvard
I would love to see a video series of your unique/funny college experiences :)
I really like this video but your voice kind of gets on my nerves, no offense
How to get into Harvard
1) Be the son/ daughter of a millionare
2) Have connections with Bill Gates
3) ????
4)Profit
5) Gl peasants.
Lez Be Real I know a lot of dumbasses with good grades...you don't have to be smart. Just good grades buddy.
***** effort can be definitely obtained by a stupid person. look at your average bank robber. the successful ones probably only rake in about 4,000$ and that requires so much effort it's embarassing.
***** I must've read it too fast, tend to do that with youtube comments my bad.
This girl in high school that used to tutor me got into Harvard. She was also my best friend's sister's best friend; that girl got into Yale. lol
Be white
Congrats on you success. Next step, life in the real world where social skills and being cool and likable in a demanding environment really do matter.
I like you, Clorox Bleach. You're cool, likeable, and most importantly, you keep my clothes looking good.
+YesReneau 😂
i see you everywhere... I MEAN EVERYWHERE you really do clean the internet
Clorox Bleach I see you everywhere
Clorox Bleach why are you everywhere ?
Plot twist: She has a multi-millionare businessman as a father
who is her dad?
Could you please do a video on how to balance getting straight A's while also doing sports? I've always been a straight A student, but I find it quite difficult at times to balance the two especially now that I'm taking AP classes. My top priority is still to focus on my academics; however, I do not want to have to quit playing the sport I love which is basketball. We have practice everyday for 2-3 hours, and I am also taking multiple AP classes as well. Anyways, I find your videos very motivational and helpful! I really hope you do a video on this request for the upcoming school year. You're amazing, and you continue to inspire so many people!! I just want to thank you for all your genuine efforts to help us in anyway you can! :)
I just got accepted into Honors classes for middle school. I'm happy and your videos help me. Especially your how to write a essay video. Thanks so much.
Her advice about extracurriculars is so right. You can can have a hell of a lot of fun doing things that are also very productive.
Hey Yes I'm from Denmark so I would really really love if you made a video about foreign students at Harvard, if it's different for them and all just all that jazz😁😄 and looking through your comments I can see that I'm not the only foreigner that wants to get in, thank u!
yeah, I'd like that too.
me too!!!!
Same here!
same here gaz
America is a violent country. Why would you want to come here?
"why i should be accepted into harvard: an autobiography"
"chapter one: please"
I dropped out sophomore year... With that being said this video was very helpful.
My first video that I'm watching of yours and already hooked on your personality. NEW SUBSCRIBER!
subscribing bc omg u give the best advice I've seen in a while
Hahah thanks!
Amazing as always! You really inspire me to work hard, going into 10th grade soon
this was honestly very motivating! congrats on your acceptance!!
this is the second video im watching of yours and im already in love with your personality
Sorry I suck in this video. I was a n0ob TH-camr then, and this video is not my best work.
Girl, i already finished college, i live in Mexico, there's literally NO WAY for me to ever get into Harvard, let alone pay it, and still, i watch your videos EVERY SINGLE TIME because i loveeeee your personality and your voice!!!
THIS MOTIVATED ME SO MUCH , thank you !!
I love how happy and crazy you are lol! Thanks for the insight and being so entertaining!
Bra,i think not everyone can go to Harvard,not everyone can pay for this
You clearly haven't watched my Harvard financial aid video.
Ivan Hristov Bra, its called a scholarship if not ... bra, watch her financial aid video 🙃👋🏻
Ivan Hristov If you get into Harvard you wont have financial problems when you leave 😂😂 it's Harvard.
Ashley Orpen is that how you think college works?
...I got in and I'm not paying a dime...
Love your way of talking, thanks for all the advises.
Anytime, sunshine :)
I'm so confused... so basically when u apply to colleges why shouldn't you apply to more than 8 school's?If you apply for more schools u can have more options also if in those 8 schools 4 chose you in and you can't decide but finally choose one what are you going to do with the other 3.Will you just say I'm sorry I have made up my mind??? I seriously dont get this system please help!
okay, i have a question. i have been a straight A student for as long as I can remember. but this year (first semester) has been a bit bad for me concerning academics {i am 9th grade}. i am not american, therefore i literaly have no clue how gpa is calculated. by the time i go in grade 12, will my average grades (Bs, As, Cs) from 9th grade's first semester really matter? can i still make it to an ivy league if i keep straight As during year 10,11, and 12? please, help!!! i do have a lot of extracurriculars, and i have been published in licensed newspapers and magazines for my short stories. I NEED ANSWERS!!
How did you get into Harvard? You got lucky. End of story. Stop trying to milk this like you are exceptional.
Frank Zhang if you watched her video reading her supplemental essay to harvard you'd realize it was hardly anything but luck. She IS exceptional, and her ability to express so in her writing is what got her in, hater.
+HardCoreCAGaming If you understand anything about the admissions process to top universities, you'd know it is luck. I'm not saying that she isn't talented. But top schools choose off of fit, not merit. No advice she gives is gonna do jack shit to getting someone in if they already are completely qualified.
Frank Zhang so what do you reckon works as the fundamental quality to get accepted?
Aside from working hard and not being a lazy POS, there really isn't a magical fundamental quality that's gonna get you accepted.
I didn't know the acceptance committees just randomly draw names out of a hat to see who should and shouldn't be enrolled.
Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg dropped out of Harvard.
Demetrio Maldonado Because they both thought it was too easy.
Daniel Klepp Yep. Just so you know I will become the next Bill Gates.
Daniel Klepp I'm going deep into the computer and pharmaceutical industry. If everything goes well I'm looking at around $100 billion in net worth by the age of 45.
Demetrio Maldonado how old are you now?
Yup, that is why you're wasting your time on TH-cam saying that to a lot of strangers. Good luck though.
Hi, i'm not sure whether this is the right place to ask, but i gotta ask it any way, my school councelors and teachers want to sent their reports to Harvard University, they need email address, to sent digital copies of them. so what is the right email for Harvard University.?
Hi so when I was a freshmen I messed up soo bad a lot of Bad things happened 2nd semester I failed every class except 1 my sophomore year I was mentally unstable so I was sent away and I'm coming back to my regular school can I still recover ? Or is it impossible
I don't know why I'm watching this when I can't even try to get into Harvard lmao I mean, I don't think my high school even prepares me well enough to meet their very basic requirements. Sadly enough, Spain's education system is so good that we are not taught how to write essays and the required English level is about a B1.1 which is no more than merely saying your name and describing two pictures?
Menyi P Uhm, there's Something called internet, it's a place where you can learn everything by yourself from basic math to astronautics.
btw I also come from one of those systems and what you said just seems like excuses, but don't worry you don't need to study in top tier institutions to succeed.
I can relate with you. My education system is not too great either,but I don't need anyone. I am here to help myself.
Believe you can and you're halfway there.
I'm working on my English. I only need some great English books to read,this place called internet and I'm good!
It would be my fortune if I get to Harvard,and if I do then I'll open up a TH-cam channel too.
You got into Harvard because you're extremely smart and took a rigorous class load
Thank you for the advice! It really helps a lot! Now I can k ow what to expect and what not to expect.
This is really helpful! Thanks so much for the video!
I'm going into High School this year as a freshman, I was just wondering I'm only taking 1 AP class currently. What GPA do I need to get into Harvard and what classes should I take to get into Harvard?
you can only take aphg freshman year
You're not getting into Harvard, sorry kid
why does she talk like this omg
Prob aspergers
You are so smart and involved, you inspire me.
Even though I'm not applying to Harvard I still find this video pretty helpful and a bunch of your other videos!!
the voice.........the brows.......the not at all blended shadow... I CANT!!!!!!!!
Dont forget trying to ne funny forcefully like girl please stop now
Her makeup is so, just, WOW
I just found your channel and I love it. You are one of those people who are really easy to like. I love how upbeat, and energetic you are. And also you are really beautiful.
can someone explain how it works in the states? In the UK you can only apply to a maximum of 5 university colleges
Are these your natural curls? or have you curled you hair using a curling wand/straightener?
For this video I wanded it :)
YesReneau still hot
Wow I didn't know you're a Harvard alumni! I went to Harvard for a year and a half and dropped out thinking i would end up like bill gates , don't wanna brag but i'm currently working at starbucks.
stfu liar
Tarek CH
Dang...
We're u joking or were you serious?
Tarek CH were*
I don't think he lying he is subscribed to a TH-cam named the daily dropout.
Funny thing is you would still be working at starbucks if you stayed in Harvard
Using your videos as inspiration, thank you so much!
You're really funny and passionate about everything you do. Thanks for the tips!
"AP classes are like pokemon. I gotta catch them all."
-YesReneau
Class of 2016 Harvard
right as i scrolled down to your comment she said that in the vid LOL
Your a living dream.
Can you please give me some advice on how to start preparing for Harvard?
:( how do u get such high act scores .. i have a perfect GPA but my act score doesn’t reflect any of that ..
I admire you for taking classes you actually loved, rather than going for all the weighted classes. I think that doing more things that you love acts as motivation for the more challenging courses
1. Have a lot of money to get into Harvard.
Peace outtt
your voice reminds me of how amanda bynes spoke in she's the man 😂😂
U ARE MY HUGE INSPIRATION
I want to go to Harvard but my family doesn't think I can do it and u have made that easier for me
Fr what hair wand do you use?? Your curls look so nice omg...
I applied to only one school in-state (and was accepted) and I'm mildly regretting only applying to one but it's the school I've always wanted to go to, so no complaints. Plus I'll probably end up transferring to a "better" school in my state for my PhD. Yaaay
if everybody at harvard is this annoying, do not sign me up lmao
aloha anna they really are. lol. They're the type of kids who are like "IMA B GETTIN A BAD SCORE ON DIS TEST CAUSE I BARELY STUDY 😂😂" then they get a 94 and you're here with some actual shit grade. I may have gotten crappy grades in high school but now all those 4.0 GPA kiddos work for my company.
Name.. of company
Khristian Padua rather keep it confidential just in case someone who has bad intentions finds out the link between my youtube profile and the company... it deals in renting out storage space though. The harvard graduates are basically my advisors, because business is expanding quick!
aloha anna LOOOOOOOOOL
Nice lying buddy
You want fun? take the MCAT
Oh baby! Now that's my idea of a good time!
you scare me
not really
maybe a little
nice avatar.
Good thing you stuck with the math, I did really good at math in grade school through high school, I would have finished computer math my junior year and gone on to the university math my senior year but I ended up attending 4 high schools and just dropped out my junior year, I didn't use math for years and lost all I learned just about atleast from Algebra up by the time I was 30 I did not have my math skills anymore, I spent time reading lots of math books from the library but it wasnt working because I wasnt doing the problems in the books. I tried to come up with my own math since I didn't remember the normal math, it helped but not something to teach to others. I have read over 2000 books to try and make up for the fact I dropped out of high school it helped but still needed the formal disciplines to apply anything. I went into the Army it helped me learn how a human can be a violent robot or think like a killing machine but I got out and I went to junior college had a bunch of hippie teachers with long hair and coudnt even want to learn from them , I took flight technology got A's in aviation science and my ground school classes did good at science stuff, A in intro to sustainability , intro to technology, aerodynamics, ect. However I had a hard time with my math teachers , I have taken some fake IQtests for logical reasoning online not real ones but they said I had a logical reasoning IQ score in several categories from 170 to 200 on one logical patterns. It was 2 in the morning and I just got off work so I am sure I get a better score with sleep and taking it in the morning or afternoon , atleast a fake one. Yet still I could not learn from these junior college teachers, watch out for community college. I finally got to the university I am over 40 now but I am finally a junior at western governors university. I have been skipping my algebra course each term I don't know why but it's now do or die, I have been doing open courses on youtube watching Harvard psychology course lectures and Yale history and finance courses. I started watching a MIT computer programming course but so busy. Well I have a computer program to develop for estate management and had it checked out by a professor at the community college who graduate from MIT in the 60's he said good program will sell. I am a marketing student and nearly through, got my life insurance license and can finally , finally earn a living.
When should I start writing to colleges? I'll be 9th grade this year and I want to be prepared but I don't really know how and when I should.
So your telling me I have to restart highschool...
"AP classes were like pokemon to me, I had to catch them all!" lol ;D
as a current junior who's in DECA and NHS, swim captain, tennis captain, and has a 3.5 GPA, i have until this december to apply for colleges. i'm planning to study for my SAT and ACT and get above average scores. im planning my essays from now, but is there anything i could do to better by chances to get into an ivy league starting right now?
How did you pay for it? I was a medalist in a provincial math contest and aced math tests/exams in high school. But I didn't consider a prestigious school because my parents were middle class.
You are amazing.
Staaahp, you're too kind :)
i should probably be studying for the SAT rn
i dont understand that there already are classes of 2019 like if you get in you have to watit 4 years ?
Great video, good wit, good rationale. I will acknowledge the advice. Appreciate it..
*cries* because I'm happy to even get a 3
All this video told me is that I'm already fucked
When did you start taking Ap classes? Do colleges look at all 4 years of classes you took or do they mostly concentrate on your senior year?
This is the first video I have seen of yours and I can relate so much to you in the sense of talking style and soooo much
Btw loved your advices❤️
And yes, giving sat IS fun
Were there alot of kids from prep schools at Harvard?
Phillips Exeter Academy is the big feeder school for HC
Brandon Moore surprise surprise
why is she talking like that.. her voice...
Regional or second language accent.
ikr so fucking annoying, and her mouth keeps on opening way too much i feel like 300k people saw down her throat
claire chen 陳嘉蓮 Because it's cute af 😋
Soraya Alami you might need a life
Soraya Alami you might need a life
I've been watching your videos for over a year..
It's a delight watching you talk and talk..
And i really want to get into one of my dream schools ( Cal tech or Harvard).
i am from Nepal , studying A Levels. We don't even get AP classes which i desperately wanted.
But i am sure i will do quite fine with my GPA, SAT and TOEFL.
Academics aside, what would an international student need to get into Harvard or Cal tech?
May be, you could make a video for international students about it.
Thank you in advance.
Congratulations on your graduation!!
Thank you for this video. I'm not American but I'm hoping to end up in Cambridge one day so this hugely helped and boosted my confidence
Lol when she says a 2040 isn't "doing well" on the SAT...bye
but I'm dumb as shit and I can't focus for my life so ...
Ahh.. I really loved it. Specially your insatiable curiosity for knowledge.. And true love to achieve something positive.
Hello, im from the netherlands. I am in 4 havo, but i'll probably will be going to 4 vwo. Is it possible to get in even though i didnt do any of the tests they have in america?
I dunno....I say she got in because she has the "super shiny hair" ...It's true. Saw it on Gilmore girls.
Goes to harvard still says pokemons
Yeah... I was always more of a Yu-Gi-Oh fan :)
Harvey Bosire l
Good advice on the flipping the triangle thing! It's just like applying for a job. Why would you apply for more crappy jobs you don't want, and only one job you really want. This is the same with school.
I'm a sophomore and I haven't got a 4.0 yet, but I get mostly A's and take Honors. Is there still a chance if I work hard until senior year that I can get into Harvard?
