A lot of you have been asking me for advice on how to get into Harvard, so here's my advice!
I'm only a student, I'm not an admissions officer, so I don't claim to know everything! Hopefully this video will still give some good advice! If you guys have any questions, post them as comments down below, and I'll try to answer them in later videos.
Harvard student, Class of 2016.

I got into Harvard through the gate
Main gate
+FPSONNY lol nice
ooooooohhhhhh
I got in through the window of the girls dorm
Ha, so you are related to Bill Gates then, congradts! Lolz ;)
I got into Harvard with a ACT score of 32, and a GPA of 3.7. My essay got me in though, so she's right about that.
What was your essay on ? Trying to gather as much info for college acceptance! Haha
What is the lowest ACT score and GPA they'll take? How much AP or advanced classes do I need to take? Please reply! +Shan Ali
Honestly, I don't know. I took over 12 AP classes, but that doesn't really mean anything to them, although it certainly helps.
+Shan Ali what how is that possible i thought it was like 4 gpa 2400 sat and everything full omg i can get in with were you serious writing this?
+The Turkish Guy_ The ivies dont want the most perfect kids, they want the most hard-working, ambitious, driven kids. Just cause you dont have a super high SAT or GPA doesnt mean you cant get in. Im going to Emory for premed, which may not be an ivy but it isnt too far off, and I got in with a 1930 SAT and 29 ACT, 3.8 GPA with 8 APs.
“Stop procrastinating, and just apply already!”
Alright, I’m in middle school and haven’t taken my SATs or ACTs, but whatever you say.
same mate
Same I finna enter high school niggas
LongShot501 Minecraft and More same😂
Lmfao
Same lol
wow i wish i made it to harvard...now I'm just here smashing perfectly new phones at a community college, when i could have been smashing perfectly new phones at harvard. :(
Fuck you bish
Lol tech rax
TechRax HaHaHa man xDDDD
I'm 12, I get strait A's, I'm a legacy student, a extremely artist, a Boy Scout, and my favorite subject is science I wonder if I have a chance...
Extremely artistic*
So basically be smart
That usually does the trick.
+YesReneau Is it hard going there
and have $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I've always been "number two" when it comes to everything. No matter how hard I work, the smart kids in my school will always do better than me. I'm currently a freshman in high school and although I have a long way to go before college, it really upsets me how I can't be better than others. My dream has always been getting into an Ivy League but upon entering high school, the chances are appearing to be slim.
Try not to compare your journey with others'. Take it from the girl who thought she was hot stuff before she went to Harvard: there will always be someone better than you at something. There are so many different paths to "success" and so many different definitions of success, that you shouldn't let it get you down if you appear (keyword: appear) to be struggling at something that comes easier to others.
katz2424 comparative advantage my friend.
katz2424 dont compare your grades to others set your own goal and work on that dont compete that mindset wont make u succeeded
katz2424 you can do it!
katz2424 Hey, you’re trying harder and not giving up.
She said GPA of 3.7. YES I AM CLOSE I HAVE GPA OF 1.2 FUCK YEAH I HAVE A LIKELY CHANCE OF GETTING IT
1.2? 😰😨😱
deutscher?
Great President Nguyen Van Thieu Unless you're in Germany, you may as well spend the $70 on getting the answer you know already anyways.
My dream is to go to Harvard, not only just attend but to be what is expected of all Harvard's students. While visiting Harvard, I witnessed people that were extremely unique with their confidence shown in their every movement as if they were unbreakable. As a freshman in high school, I only dream to be such a character, but for now, what I really need to do is to find who I am and to be comfortable with doing that. I want to be like those Harvard students because I truly believe that they're the ones that impact the world for the greater good. I am aware that I have three years until I start applying to colleges but I am also aware that just because I don't get in, doesn't mean my life is over, it just means that another college would love to have me. I hope you guys are all aware of that and I am glad we have YesReneau to be the one that makes this world a better place.
You. Yes. This. Yes. All of it. Thank you.
Hey, it's 3 years later now. How's everything going for you now?
Love ya
Hey dude. Been 3 years i hope u got somewhere even better, mentally, spiritually and emotionally
3 years later, what happened?
I will get into Harvard in Jesus name.
Amen
Amen
Me too !!!!
amen for you and me
Amen
This year I am going to high school, and I have wanted to go to Harvard ever since the 4th grade! Hopefully this can help me achieve my dreams and make my family proud
I hope that for you, too! Best of luck, and enjoy yourself along the way!
Do your best!! never give up! Don't ever stop trying!!!!!!
Same
So.... junior year....right?.....2 more years......Harvard is waiting for you....no pressure
*HARVARD WANTS TO KNOW YOUR LOCATION*
I thought this video would give the same old advice......i was totally wrong....i learned something useful here, thanks!
Wait, that's so great to hear!! Glad to help!
Jayakusuma looking hot
Did you get in?
If I get into Harvard, guess what will the first thing I would do? SUBSCRIBE you!
You could do that right now!
YesReneau Okay, if you say so
+mark thornstorm Really? I hope you are trolling because I really would like to go to that school
You need to chill man :)
Lol the biggest cult in the world= Christsianity.
You should make a follow up video on how to avoid suicide when you have to pay off your student loans
Jimmy Harry 😅
Jimmy Harry how about working? just a thought.
Jimmy Harry 😹
20% of the kids going to harvard are going for free. full ride if your family makes under 65,000 a year, and most ivies have free tuition under 120,000 a year. they're honestly more affordable for middle class people than some state schools are.
But only if you can get in. And if you're poor, it's a LOT harder to get into Harvard than if you are rich. Consider these other facts: 48% of students pay full price. Only 12% of students receive Pell Grants (which are given to students who meet Federal criteria for poverty). So by your statistics (the source of which is unclear), only about 8% of the student fall into that "middle class" definition. And while the US government is the source of these statistics, it's hard to know exactly how Harvard is allocating all that aid. Yes, Harvard is affordable. To the few that Harvard DECIDES will receive Willy Wonka's Golden Tickets. The rest of the world goes elsewhere and pays "less affordable" tuition (those poor wretches...).
Wish I saw this video going into high school, not going into senior year. Great video as always!
arent you the lavagirl from shark boy and lavagirl?
No...
She looks like her lol
Omg she dose look like like thats
😂
IMMM FUCKING DYINGGGG
You graduate this year Congratulations
Why thank you!
I toured Harvard today and wished I was smart enough to get in!! LoL
You don't have to be smart, just a hard worker and anything can hapen
+Insufficient PvP (“InsufficientPvP”) Well... Yeah, it has to do with being smart actually. You have to be smart enough to get excellent grades if you work hard. Regular people don't get excellent grades, even when they're working hard.
Make your wish reality and work hard !!!
+Insufficient “InsufficientPvP” PvP You have to be smart you cant be a hard worker and have no brains and goto a ivy league school how you gonna pass
+Félix “Lt. Gen. Jack O'Neill” Veilleux-Ouellet you're very negative and dogmatic. good grades is just about studying and hard work. you don't have to be extremely smart to do good at school, you just have to put effort into it.
who literally heard "yes or no"
instead of yes reneau
They DO want you,they just can’t see it yet 😂your personality is everything
This is exactly why admissions in UK are so much more objective. I mean the SATs aren't serious. Have you even seen the math section? It's 9th grade material if not lower. However the ridiculously phrased questions confuse people and a couple of mistakes take your grade down by 30-50 marks. It's not that hard to cram for the exams which is why you get so many competent and shiny results. At Cambridge or Oxford though... If you have IB/AP with good enough grades (or equivalent in different systems) you take one additional test the STEP, MAT or some other thing which is specifically designed to figure out which one of the applicants is actually shiny. I mean in STEP you get 13 math problems choose 6 and if you write 3 correctly you are most definitely in the 80+ th percentile. And even that isn't enough, later on you have an interview, in which they also give you a couple problems and talk to you to see first person how you think. And do not rely on an essay, which was polished, proofread, given to professors to make better word choices during 2-3 weeks. And after all that you get shortage of students. So they have to go for second choices.. I mean it's damn hard, but after you get the result you know EXACTLY why did you succeed or fail and not make guesses like "maybe they didn't like mt essay".
How to get into Harvard: Have a superior IQ. Otherwise, forget it.
Oggie Krstic lol gotta love sarcasm. If you have an IQ below 125, forget getting into a prestigious university. That girl most likely has a superior IQ.
+Félix “Lt. Gen. Jack O'Neill” Veilleux-Ouellet studies consistently show that grit and the ability to work hard outweigh any intelligence level. It's the work ethic that makes you. The Harvard admissions department can sniff out the lazy intellectuals a mile away.
MysticBazooka If you can become world class through hard work excellent work ethics, it usually means you have a high IQ. There might be some outliers here and there, but IQ is also a huge factor.
I see your point that many people won't make it into Harvard as it's just that exclusive. but that doesn't mean people shouldn't try. After all, that's what life is about isn't it, constantly improving upon yourself to become a better person. :)
MysticBazooka Gotta be realistic buddy. Most people aren't good enough for Harvard. I'm not affraid to admit it: I'm not good enough for prestigious universities like Harvard. Not worthy of it. That's life. Some people are just better and smarter than others and that's just the truth. People aren't equal.
This just made me feel like shit hahahaha
Yikes! That wasn't the intention :/
Noice.
I'm not here to hate on Harvard (I don't get your college system anyways) but I didn't care for the reputation of my university when I applied. I chose the one near my home. It wasn't like I couldn't have gotten in anywhere else (I could have gotten into most universities) but - like you said - you can become successful regardless of what school you go to. And I know that it can be a serious advantage to have a degree from a certain college/ uni because the best only pick the best so they ought to be good (in an ideal world at least..but that's a different topic).
But where I come from the system is not as extreme as in the US.
Arya Dröttningu I get what you're saying... In high school I got a 3.0 gpa -3.5 gpa without trying I played baseball and got into a college near me got a 3.2 gpa at college went on to med school and now I'm a cardiologist doing well and living my dream. Don't think Harvard will automatically give you prestige in the market.
Can I transfer to Harvard from community college if I do the following
1) Have high SAT and ACT scores
2) Have a high GPA
3) Spend my summers doing internships with big companies and work on major projects
4) Join every club in my school
Can you answer her question?
Transferring is much harder for Ivy Leagues. You will have to spend a minimum two years at your college. Get above a 4.0 gpa in college, become president of student organizations and also volunteer or work
Please someone answer this question!!! I need the answer
Video game World
+Evelyn Larson yes they do
I have a 4.3+ GPA. I take practice ACT and SAT tests. Usually getting 32-35 on ACT and 2000-2300 on SAT. trynna get into Yale
Aim for 2200+ on your SAT. and you need to be exceptional at one or two extracurriculars that you are interested in. Like going to states for science olympiad and such. Otherwise, great job you have a decent shot at getting in, hope you do :)
MysticBazooka yah im in science olympiad, debate team, tenis, dollars4scholars
I'm not American but how can you get a GPA above 4.0?
+Beliz Güney by taking advanced classes since they have more credit compared to regular classes
Tyler Tomlin advanced classes? like which ones?
Thanks for sharing this Reneau!! Love your personality - I can see exactly why Harvard accepted you. I'm a Canadian junior (going into senior year) and thinking of applying to Stanford, Harvard and Berkeley. Every adult I meet tells me the same thing, but it's great to hear from an actual student's perspective. Will be saving this for later and checking out your other videos! Oh - and also subbed ;)
Your Harvard vids are so helpful tbh
Helpful is what I aim for :)
I just got in yesterday! I was watching this to see if it was accurate or not haha because I watched some before I applied and they were kind of obnoxious and intimidating... but this is so accurate! This is like my life exactly haha maybe I will see you on campus next year!
Ahhh yay!!! Congratulations!!! Can't wait to have you on campus! Ahhhh also so glad my advice was not off base!
Sabrina Yates hey
Hi, Can you please tell me any tips? I would be really great full
YAASSSS IB!! I hate it but I love it.
Same
+KiraEileen Hello Brother!! I am another CAS slave and International Bullshiter too :)
And while everyone is talking about AP and IB, I'm just doing AICE over here ;-;
it sucks because i live in an area with most students also trying really hard and are super nerdy. although at first glance this seems great because i get to surround myself with great minds, colleges like harvard are looking for people from everywhere, not just from one area
Would never get into harvard but love to watch your videos, you are just so funny :D
Best video I have seen about getting into Harvard! Makes it seem feasible and doesn't scare me away. Great video
looks like I'm going to Harvard thanks lady !
I'm a freshman just trying to do my best. I currently have a 4.0 GPA and I'm taking 3 honors classes. I'm watching this video because, obviously, I want to get into Harvard. I know I have 4 years before I have to really start worrying about this but I want to get a head start! See what I can do to try and push myself ahead of the rest! One thing I found that really helps is get to get motivated. I know that sounds like such a "duh" thing to say but after I found something (more like someone) who made me want to work hard I realized that doing homework became fun! Ever 100% I got felt like one step closer to Harvard! I found this video very informative and I will try to use what I learned in this video to fit me best. (New subscriber alert!)
Applied.
Had a 4.19.
President of two clubs.
Good personal statement(So I've been told).
Average Scores...
Rejected.
Scored do matter.
***** SAT Courses but they do tend to cost money. The more expensive the course, the better the results. So I've been told.
President of two clubs and nothing else isn't enough... Extra Curriculars matter almost as much as grades do
Nessa X I was hoping that was true! I was involved with the clubs since my freshman year and was super dedicated but I guess that didn't matter.
Josie Amayrani You're underestimating how important teacher and counselor recs are. Dean of Harvard admissions said theyre even more important than grades. Even if the teachers like you, there's no guarantee they wrote you stellar recs. You wouldn't know either bec. accdg to the law, you cant read them. Also, curriculum is key. Also, it's not about the position you got in the club, it's WHAT YOU DID with that position. Did you give free workshops for ex.? Did you host a big event? Did you organize a conference? etc... I hope you got into a great school though
Maria Kyna Cortez That's true; I had my APUSH teacher and the decathlon coach write my letters of recommendation. Both were about community service but both were types of honor societies. We hosted events and such. I decided to stay closer to home and go to a UC.
This video was great, thank you. I too am a suburban girl from Ohio and I am now at the terrifying chapter of my life that I have to look into what I need to do in order to get into a good college. So having this to refer to has been extremely helpful. Thank you!!
How to get into Harvard?
Me: just enter the gate
🤣🤣🤣😝
You are the only person I watch on TH-cam. I live in suburban Ohio and find everything you say quite hilarious. Thank you for inspiring me and adding seconds to my life with your comical videos! I hope you continue being this great :)
I'm applying to Harvard my senior year. As of right now I'm taking an 2 ap classes, 2 advanced honors classes and I'm 8th in the state of Washington for debate and speech. I really hope I get in!!
What grade are you in?
sophmore
me too
I love your eyebrows. They move all over and are so expressive! Perfect.
Will I get in if I have no skills? I have great grades but I don't do any extra curricular activities. Did you do any?
For an exceptional school like Harvard, you would need to have at least one extra-curricular that stands out. Check out this article by another Harvard Alumni

Thank you so much
***** Schools usually have financial aids.
They are gonna offer you money of living, studying and everything if you are in need.. Which means u do not have to pay money to study at schools such as Harvard, Stanford bla2. U should do more research on "Need-blind colleges" or "colleges that offer full financial aid for international students". Good luck.
Play sports and do a bunch of volunteer work
What really helped her stand out were her abilities to project her personality through her videos. She has very high levels of enthusiasm and self-confidence, and the ability to talk to an audience coherently, without using awkward pauses, "duhs", and other crutches to cover any mental lapses when on camera. In other words, she can organize her thoughts while speaking, she projects well and presents her thoughts and ideas in an entertaining manner, which is lacking in most students her age.
She has a future in sales, in the courtroom as a trial lawyer, in the TV/movie entertainment industry, or running a company. Even though she does not appear to want to be a rocket scientist, I'll bet she could explain rocket science to any audience after a short interview with a rocket scientist. If Harvard saw her on video as part of the application process, that would explain why she was admitted. Many smart people are dull and have no social skills. she is not limited in those areas.
Thanks Taylor! This video really helped me put the process of applying to prestigious institutions in perspective. Wow that's a lot of P semi-alliteration.....
Thank you so much... Everyone always says to tell colleges what you'll bring to their school, but no one goes more in depth than that.
you have the greatest personality ever!
Haha oh gosh thank you!
Hey YesReneau, great video! I am actually pursuing an undergraduate degree in finance and accounting and gladly running a 4.0 GPA .Looking forward to doing an MBA at Harvard, btw your videos are fantastic and you are BEAUTIFUL.. Keep it up!
Do you mind.. showing us your essay? That would be a great help.
OMG, thank you! You're so generous because You're giving an oportunity for us to have more chances to get into Harvard! Love U!
I feel bad now 😪I wish I could make it up I wanna make my parents proud
I need faith and hope I will try and hopefully I get in
I love this, YesReneau. You brought up my self esteem, and I am excited to apply to Harvard.
I live for comments like these! So glad to hear I could help make things better!!
:)
I really appreciate you replying to my comment. I hope you have a great time at Harvard!
okay not to be creepy but i really really hope i get in so i can find you and hug you LOL
Did you get in??
NimyX 》 of course not
Did you get in ?
With such no abition and almost silly goal. U cant. Harvard is filled with very ambitious people
@@rahmashardow2670 *Sharsh.
Examples of extracurriculars that help you get into Harvard: Boys/Girls Nation (not state...nation), Eagle Scout, Debate Team Captain, Sports Team Captain, Class President or Student Body President, Black belt in a martial art, Cheerleading Captain (yes, cheerleading really helps), creating phone apps or other software that becomes popular (especially if you're a girl), having scientific research published in a peer-reviewed journal with you as a lead author, being conductor of an orchestra. Starting clubs or organizations doesn't help much because it's very common nowadays. 20-30 years ago, it helped a little.
Basically, find a couple of activities you're really interested in and go after the top level of leadership and accomplishment in those couple of activities.
Things that really don't help much for Harvard: Starting a club or organization that you are "president" of (unless it's something that really became big on a state or national level, not just your school), volunteering, tutoring, mentoring, random clubs (FBLA, HOSA, chess club, math club, etc.), summer camps and programs (unless they are extremely selective and prestigious like TASP or Research Science Institute...usually those types of programs are free), and "leadership programs/retreats/institutes." In the summer, it would be better to take challenging courses (in Calculus, English Lit, U.S. History, etc.) at a nearby 4-year university and get As in them...that would look good, especially if the courses are in the subject you plan on concentrating (i.e. majoring) in at Harvard.
Hopefully you have near-perfect (or perfect) grades and test scores. Being #1 or #2 in your class looks good. If you've taken AP or IB exams, it looks good to show them a bunch of 5s (or 7s on IB exams), and nothing below a 4 (6 on IB). It helps (a little) to be from an underrepresented state like Mississippi or Wyoming. It helps to express interest in an unpopular concentration like Linguistics or Anthropology, especially if your interest for that subject shows in your essays or activities. It helps to be a girl interested in a STEM major as long as your grades and test scores strongly back up your STEM ability.
Oh, and if you're poor or even middle class (family income less than ~$70k or so), that helps quite a bit. Incorporate that into your essays somehow. Yes, they could just look on your FAFSA form to see your family's income, but they really like kids from poor or middle class (not upper middle, haha) backgrounds. They like kids who overcame adversity or lack of opportunities in their communities and schools. This won't overcome less than great grades and test scores, but it will definitely help.
And if you don't get in, it's fine, really. Harvard (or Yale or any other school) is FAR from a guarantee of any success in life. You will have to make your own success in life regardless of where you graduate from college.
SAT2000 that's impossible.. I would say at least 2300 lol
Paul Lin I think is possible with affirmative action or family connection
Paul Lin Legacy family, being black or being Latino. Then 2000 will be a reasonable minimum.
Paul Lin Not really, basically it depends on what the people around you have since they're kind of your direct competition most of the time.
Like if everyone around you has over 2300 and you have 2100 then maybe you want to get closer to like 2250.
Or on grades, if your school does weighted GPA then it's probably wise to stack up on lots of classes even if you're not terribly interested in a few: call it "broadening your horizons" or "seeing what's out there" instead of "this is an arms race" because no one actually believes you really were that interested in taking 15 different AP classes without going in depth into what you really liked like maybe a course on creative writing(ehem brings down my GPA).
Even when you're in college, people are into solid stats and things that can tell a story not necessarily trying to do everything in a few years for the sake of competition.
Or 2200
People have gotten into Ivy League schools with 1700 and 1800s on their Sats. They also take into account if you're from a disadvantaged group or went to a public school where is much less likely for you to get a 2350 on your Sats. And your extracurricular and accomplishments matter more than your test scores.
For sure, applying is the most fu*king important part. Thanks
So many people count themselves out before they even try, so I thought it was important to mention.
ha, this video has more views then people Harvard will accept for many years...
I love your sense of humor and all of your videos! Thank you for the tips!
Anytime! And thanks!
My brother want to get in harvard. I hope he will get admission.
Patel Vidhu did he????
Did he get in?
thanks for the advise, YesReneau, even right now i'm still 9 but this video gave me a hard push to go to harvard. Thank you!

I am a senior High School Student who lives in Mexico. I attend to a private school there in my hometown and since no more than 3 months I started caring about my grades. And let me tell you all, before that i was the most mediocre student in my generation. Now it is actually too late to fix that up, and any attempt to go to a foreign University is wasted time. Do not think school is stupid and that grades don't matter, because numbers may not define us, but in this case they actually can put us in the radar of a good University. As for me, I'll study law and I will acomplish all my goals. I am definetly not falling into the same mistakes.
Can good AP scores help me go to a top "university" such as Harvard? Or it only makes me get placed in deifferent classes? Some good advice related to the topic will be appreciated.
+Pedro Lopes No, but good spelling sure will.
Sophia Richardson I was doubtful when choosing between "help me go to a top university" and "help me go to top universities", and I unfortunately ended up mixing the two. I'd like to make the point, however, that writing "universitie" instaed of "university" in this case represents an insignificant mistake, because the mistake only corcerned spelling. In essence, it didn't compromise the actual meaning of the question.
Your response, in spite of that, was neither thoughtful nor provided any help. You simply replied "no" and rightaway got off topic, without a proper explanation for your allegation that AP scores will not help me reach the goal of getting into a "top university".
Another thing we should take into consideration is that the internet is a place where everybody in the world can connect, regardless of external factors. So you might be talking to someone whose native language is not English. In that case, I humbly suggest you be less arrogant, becuase the person does not have the obligation to write perfectly in a language that is not present in her/his daily life while commenting in a TH-cam video's comment section, a very informal environment at the core.
I will correct the mistake in spite of what I said in order to prevent more people from giving me this kind of unsolicited advice, which is of little use and does not answer the question posed.
+Pedro Lopes Yes they can
jusa798 Maybe some details would provide a lot of help.
You can exempt a few classes you wouldnt like to take, for example, I got a 5 on AP Lang, so I don't have to take the intro Lit class at Emory. Same thing for APUSH (AP US History). you can still take those classes youre able to exempt if you want. Certain colleges take certain scores. For example, at GA Tech, they accept 4s for Lit, but only 5's for physics courses, and not even all physics courses. I dont know the AP credit system at Harvard but yeah. It will help you get in because even if people say colleges dont see them, if you present them they do. So if they see a ton of 5's, that's awesome. I wouldn't send 2's or some 3's, but that's personal preference. So as an admissions officer, if you see a ton of 5's, they will take it into consideration. Maybe they say the don't, but how could they not when you show them? We are human, we do not delete information because we say it won't be taken into consideration.
Thank you Ms. YesReneau for a helpful video.
OMG. this is the best advice I've ever gotten
You're honestly so amazing & have so much going for you. Thank you for your videos and great personality!!!
What was your GPA? What clubs or other activities did you do?
How to get into Harvard: Spend all waking hours studying and don't spend all your time practicing and preparing to be a music major like I am doing (my dream is to be a concert musician and perform classical music professionally, I play piano and violin and will hopefully have a career in it)
I have a question. I just became a freshman in high school last week and do I pick my classes in my freshman year or my other years.
You know, I'm a French 17 years old guy and I'll definitly never get into Harvard but you video is so motivative! I mean, I'm currently applying for big schools in my country and this was the best advices I've been told! Thank you and sorry for my english mistake.
is it just me but every time she says " hey guys its Yesreneau " I hear "hey guys its yes or no"
yes lol
I'm not even in high school yet, but I'm already aiming high when it comes to my grades. So far my GPA is a 4.0 and I hope that I can keep that up. Thank you for the advice, and I will continue trying my best in all of my classes, and once I do get into high school, I will try and take some of the more difficult classes. But as you said, grades aren't everything, and I've been looking into that recently. It looks as though everything is stacked against me when I think about applying to Harvard, but that's just another reason to continue working hard and to never give up. Wish me luck! :)
Why am I here? I live in Britain and I don't understand most of the terms you used.
Same 😂😂
Same hahaha
Anujan Kirupakaran
Harvard=one of best schools in US
SAT/ACT=college prep tests that are used to determine acceptance to colleges
AP classes=advanced placement classes that are so hard they make you want to cry and at the end of the year there is an exam to test your knowledge over the course and if you pass, you get college credit.
Ohio=one of the US's states
Oh...
This video actually gave me more confidence. I was so worried that my GPA of 3.8 this year would kill my chances. I am also glad that someone knows what the IB program is, it seems like I have to explain it to anyone I meet.
I actually received mail from Harvard, which was really unexpected since I was planning to apply to a state school :) my high school years so far have been crazy-accounting, acting, art, law enforcement, strings, piano, spanish, softball, photography club... i think im gonna be able to stand out :P :D
I dont think they care about hobbies thouhh
Getting mail from a school means absolutely nothing. Sorry. They buy hundreds of thousands of names from the College Board and ACT and then send out mail to increase their applications and lower their acceptance rate.
Wow this made my day really appreciate your sense of humour :D
Guys I know I might sound stupid but I just recently started 10th grade and I have started getting to know about colleges and how to get my chances higher. So I wanted to know how good my chances are to get into universities like Harvard. I'm in 10 grade and I have a 3.5 gpa I take algebra 2 pre ap and geometry honors at the same time. English 2 honors, and biology honors. I have done all my high school credits, and I am doing my second year of Spanish and I am planning to take ap Spanish 11th grade and also take ap bio. I also plan to take ap Chem 12th grade an calculus bc 12 grade. I right now have 100 community hours. And for my ec I play varsity soccer and I'm not currently apart of any clubs but I plan on joining a math club or something in 11th grade cause I really lik math. With the criteria I have listed above what are the chances of me getting into a top ivy-league school. Take into consideration I have not taken sat/act yet due to the fact I'm a sophomore.
You're behind if you are still in Bio...

mr arican just because it’s one of the most prestigious schools in america doesn’t mean it’s overrated. What’s a good school for you community school?
What race are you. What applies to you may not apply to a Chinese or Indian applicant.

How to get nto Harvard: Come from a wealthy family that is willing to make a "donation."
You are an inspiration!!! I love it. I love your personality. You give hope!!
i'm a freshman in high school... i NEED to do VERY well.. i'm nervous already if i don't get perfect grades!! 😁 i'm getting high a's and high b's
Thank you for this video. I relate to you in many ways, I also live in Ohio and love art and other activities. I have been wanting to go to Harvard for a while and was very fearful about the fact that I live in Ohio thinking that they wouldn’t except me for living in a rural area, but you have given me more hope for the future, thank you again.
I'm in 8th grade, my GPA is a 4.1 and my reading level is a 12th grade reading level. I'm preparing for college early and trying to figure out what college I want to go to and I believe it is harvard medical school. This video helped with my preparations so thank you.
Sarah_ Nichol I want to go to Harvard for medical school too! My dreams are to be a great brain surgeon. 👍
Sarah_ Nichol this just makes me depressed because I’m also in 8th grade but when I read I literally can’t and think of the weirdest things ever lol
Big Chungus me too

Yay!! So glad I can help!! Haha oh the Zumba vlog... I had a blast making it :)
I'm just gonna apply to 10 different colleges so I'll be guaranteed to get into at least one of them
+Kimberlyn McMurray it doesnt work like that.
+Mimi Brown I know but that's the only plan I have sooooooo......
dont do it. look at each school, and their average gpa and act scores. Then decide if you have a chance of getting in
+Mimi Brown I'll do that. Thanks for the idea 😀
not garantueed at all!
I know I have a few years before I have to worry about any of this considering I'm getting ready to be a Freshman in high school, but, my dream is to go to Harvard one day to be somewhere in the medical field. And with me also being a teenage girl living in the suburbs of Ohio, people always tell me that it will be almost impossible to reach my goal because the classes my school offers aren't "advanced" enough. But anyway, I'm taking all your advice and focusing on my grades as much as I can because I want to achieve this goal! Your advice is very helpful, so thank you!
YesorNo?
Exactly.
Congratulations on gradating!
What if your last name's a famous actor's last name? No... okay.
Helpful as fudge. Not trying to go to Harvard but its great overall.
