As an English teacher, I really enjoyed your essay. It was compelling from the beginning (good hook), interesting, had just the right amount of vocabulary for a HS senior and showed your growth as a person. Definitely, will recommend it to my students.
The amount of jealousy in this comment section is pathetic. Stop bringing down others because of your own failures. A college essay doesn't need to be flashy or fun or unique, it needs to be intimate so the counselor can get to know you as a person. I've talked with my admission counselor before, and essays that try too hard to be flamboyant ends up distracting from who you really are. Trust me, this essay is pretty good for an admission essay and exactly what they want. Congrats on your acceptance!
The music in the background is unnecessarily dramatic
stop being a fucken hater
Then don’t watch the video, who’s forcing you...
Lemmino music
and fucking loud
I agree. It's annoying.
You must be fun at parties.
"What's your name?"
"I got into Yale."
"No, but what's your nam-"
"I got into Yale."
Lol
Joseph Torreski wtf bro
Burrito to be fair, that would be me if I got accepted into an Ivy League college.
Burrito LMFAOOOAOAOAO 💀😂
lol
the music really brings out the yale-level writing
this is the best youtube comment i have ever read
Clara Winn LOLOLO
Lol

Plot twist: "Theodore from Kazakhstan" is actually named Theodore and from Kazakhstan.
This seemed so much longer than 650 words! Crazy how you fit so much into a short space.
Thanks! It's crazy how much you can do with 650 words
650 words is the maximum for Common App
Damn, my extension 1 English subject for grade 12 requires me to write by hand 1500 words in 50 minutes, 650 words seems like a breeze
Torterra Plays Mc I think that’s the struggle of college apps, you have so many things to say but so little space; you really have to choose your content and phrasing carefully!
Tigerlily Sanders true, I’d imagine it would be something you’d have to keep refining
Dude my essay is also about failure but mine sounds like a 4th grader's essay
Sameeeeeee
LMFAOO YOOO FACTS
Put some music in it 😂
Mind if I read it? I know it's late and you're probably done with the college admissions process but I'd like to see what you ended up with for your main essay.
I can't even..
I have to spend hours in the dictionary just for one sentence like 😖
Thanks for watching guys! The "How I Got Into Yale" video is coming tomorrow so make sure you subscribe and don't miss it!!!
Josh Beasley hey, i I’m just curious but how long do you think it took you to finish your essay?
Oh my goodness I'm so glad I watched this! My son had no idea what he was going to write about but now we both have a very good topic because he also had to overcome some adversity in his sport. I love your style of writing as well as while listening to you we could actually empathize with the emotions you were feeling. Thanks so much.. From Trinidad 🇹🇹
As a counselor, I was looking for an example of an essay to share with my students that show perseverance, vulnerability, diversity, and strength. This is great. Thank you for sharing, and congrats on Yale!
Josh, that was such a sweet essay. Yale is lucky to have a guy like you and the world is too!
It's so nice to see student share essays with others about to embark on the process.
That was so good. I don't know why you said it wasn't as good as you had remembered. I thought it was amazing with the descriptive details of playing baseball to meeting "Theodore."
I recently graduated from college, but you've inspired me to dig up my old Common App Essay and reflect on who I was nearly 5 years ago!!!!
I'm currently digging deep into the college search, because I am a senior this year and I came across your video and realized that we used to be neighbors back on West Blvd in Rapid City!! I'm glad to see you're doing great things and I hope your family is doing well! Great essay :) I just filled out my Common App, but I haven't started the essay quite yet. Definitely inspired me to get it done and write it well seeing that just a few hundred words have brought you so much success!
This really touched my heart that was an amazing story at least now I have some idea of how to tell my own thank you joshua hope to see you in the future
Certain quotes from your essay is exactly what I needed to get me focus on this semester tough courses!
I love how open you were with this.. Thank you!
Love your essay! It gave my chills. Also, I changed schools during junior year and it sucks so I really understand the struggle!
Great video buddy!! Truly help me. I'm from Bolivia, thank you so much!! As international student it's harder to enter a good university in USA. But after your videos is kinda easier to prepare the applications!
ur appealed to my emotions. good job brother now i have a pathway to go with
I enjoyed listening your essay--it speaks to your character. Looking forward to seeing your other videos! :)
Thank goodness Theodore got to play soccer, I was nervous for a minute there. Love the video, keep killin it!
Your essay sounds so professional., and congrats on getting accepted into Yale.. i'm still struggling with my college applications and scholarship , which i get really upset when i think about it .
I'm trying to write a rough draft for my common app this weekend, and it is probably the hardest thing I've done in a long time. Writing about myself is a real struggle, and this video helped me out. Thanks.
Really nice writing! Thanks for sharing what you learned from a low point. It was inspiring.
Omgg, I am literally randomly was recommended to watch this video, and you know what? I'M FROM KAZAKHSTAN!!! Definitely following this channel now
He was just using Kazakhstan as a cover... his friend isn't actually from Kazakhstan
Привет:)
STangFilms yes
Он вообще в оскорбительном порядке представил нашу страну.
Вставляя какого-то мужика под словом «Казахстан»,не считаю это достижением для страны.
Put tears in my eyes as I am reminded how adversity can, alot of times,play a role in greatness!
I’m glad that I found your Chanel btw the comments didn’t pass the vibe check. Your essay is amazing.
wow man...... 👍 great job! you deserve more subs! when I first looked at you videos I thought you would have at least a couple thousand. but to my surprise you only have 208! (the 208th person is me!) SOMEONE GET THIS MAN A TROPHY!
Thanks bro!
I am now working on my common app essay and i think ur video is very inspiring!! Thx!
take out the fucking music
This is awesome, touching, + inspiring! You've earned a new subscriber! 👍🏾
It’s a bit cliche yet unique in its own way. For an incoming college student it’s pretty good and it demonstrates character within your personality and also tells a true story. Good work
Know yourself and don't accept no if you believe differently You will go far my friends. Keep improving
I'm struggling to write my essay but man this is really good, I got chills
Hi, did you complete it??
I love this essay and the sound played in the background
Thanks for putting your video out there to inspire kids who are struggling to get the essay ideas going! Agree, about the background music. Your speaking voice is fine without the music.
I always heard that using sports as your topic in an essay is bad, but you Incorporated it so well... You had me hooked...
extremely good essay. you’re vocabulary is outstanding.
Very good!! So relatable.
Great essay! Thank you for sharing!
I really enjoyed listening to the speech. Very well written.
Such a beautiful essay and great video overall!
Northern VA represent
Nina Perry ha ha I’m from northern VA as well!
Yesss
Mindblowing
That was great!!
That was a beautiful essay 😊
Great essay dude!
I have no idea how I got here, but this was so entertaining for some reason.
What a role model
CAN TOTALLY RELATE!! I'm a runner and I moved to Japan after my Sophomore year and just lost it completely, barely made D2
This was great.
Thank you for essay tips and sharing'
*That intro tho😍*
Hi!It is great essay!I am from Kazakhstan.

dude i applied SCEA to Yale! Hope to see you soon!!
Wow. I’m so smitten. Wow!
I'm going into honors English for the second-semester 8th grade, and after high school, I hope to get into a college for my good writing skills! One can only hope.
This is the cutest shit i ever seen
I loved it
This essay really got me
wow! great essay! thank you for sharing, i’m preparing to write my first college application essay and i really needed this inspiration
I totally relate to that lonely feeling after moving to a new place. I am also a military kid.
I like your essay 👌🏼
yale-level music!
Woah you’re an avid student ? Me too!
Great vid
you r inspiring
Thank you so much!
shut up
wow i can't believe this got so many like
Why you like Ferb from Phineas and Ferb?? 😭😭
i have noticed that Ivy League colleges do accept the students who are both emotional as well as phenomenal. Don't you think guys??
lol damn that essay is good the problem with mine is that i cant talk abt anything about struggles because i rly dont remember any. tryna go back memories :)
This guy is so nice
Can you do a "day in the life" type of video? I think your parents would love to see those when your off at Yale.
That's a great idea! I should definitely do that.
Great job thanks
Awesome :)
Great essay
Hi, I hope in tomorrow's video you can include your full high school transcript, what classes you took each year, EC's, and overall stats. Thanks and congrats!
I just finished filming it an will include all of that!!! Thanks for your support!

Am I the only one binge watching this guys videos ?
Applying to college in the US is petrifying for a HS junior like me in, sitting in a small town in India. Coming from a military background myself, I can see why they picked your essay, moving from the capital of the country to a very small town in the East, is not an easy journey for me, especially being in high school. Been two years, I have one friend and one dream, and I'm not letting go of either of the two. Thanks for the video, helps a lot
Oh wow this really is a great essay!
Could I ask what gpa you got and what sat/act score you got to get in?
I wish I had a friend like yours and I am senior now
he goes like, "eh, that is it, now get outta here"
mood: i am from Kazakhstan, I was shocked when he said "Theodore from Kazakhstan"
Wow I really want to know more about "Theodore" now
Borat!!!! But nice job man!!
I love these videos but I can't help feeling like a failure as a senior right now
lol ik what u mean
So hope I get better at writing I’m a freshman in highschool so I still have a lot of time to grow
Time to copy
It sucks that people can't recognize a genuine story and instead focus on the music instead of the amazing writing style and topic choice. Well done
WOW! What video camera do you use?!!! It looks amazing...:O!!
Thanks, I use the Canon 70D.
I didn't even mind the music bro, I was too busy actually paying attention to the thing I clicked the video to hear.
Looks cool haha
I would be lying if I said I didn't feel a lump in my throat when listening to this.
not bad bruh.
