    I've already graduated from college with a bachelors degree but I've still been watching your college videos because it's interesting to me for some reason. It's cool to see how much more competitive certain colleges are and how serious college applications can be in other regions. I don't know if it was just me or my city or Michigan in general, but college applications never seemed this competitive. Idk, I just think it's interesting to compare it to how competitive college apps can be in say Cali or NY. Anyway, this was an interesting / informative video. I hope you enjoy college when you go!

      Delaney Gregg Thanks so much for watching! College applications can be crazy especially if you live in a competitive area. I’m so glad to have been done with the process and feel like the challenge has made us all (class of 2020) stronger as people.

      Zainab O. Thank you! Once I realized math wasn’t my thing and stopped taking the APs for math it became a lot easier to grasp and I started getting A’s. That’s so cool that you’re doing poli sci too! I don’t find that many people at my school doing it :)

      MrFly فلاي Honestly I don't even know. We had a really bad disadvantage though because we didn't get an actual teacher until December so we had subs for about 4 months. So when our actual teacher came we were already way behind

    I'm a sophomore in highschool. I'm stressing tho I'm not sure if what I'm doing rn is going to be good enough. I have a 3.77 weighted but by the end of this year it should go up to like a 3.8/3.9 but I'm taking 6 APS next year and this year I'm taking two. Freshman year I took AP human and got a 5 on the exam. I'm in DECA, FBLA, Track, and basketball, I also did MakerBot competition freshman year. I've been getting more interested in art and science so I'm not sure what ecs to do. I wanna do some type of project or research but idk how

      Lyssa wow slow down (you don’t have to take that many AP’s) try to take 2-4 AP’s in your high school career and like 2 dual credit but take hard ones like AP Chem II and Gov or Physics C and APUSH.

      as long as you have a good SAT and GPA u should be fine, I spent so much time writing my PIQs bcuz my stats were a little lower than the ucs average and I got rejected by almost all, a peer of mine however had 4.2 and 1300+ SAT scores and did their PIQs in a day and got into almost all of the ucs including ucla, so make sure ur stats are at least the average of the ucs bcuz stats plays a huge role
