MINI VLOG: Visiting the University of Pennsylvania and Philadelphia | Makaya Chilekwa
Hey y'all!
During my graduate school application process, I had the opportunity to visit all the schools that offered me admission (all expenses paid). This was my chance to tour the campus, talk to professors, meet the other students, and learn more about the program. These weekends are always fun so if you have one coming up, don't worry :).
This is the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
If you are interested in graduate school and have any questions, feel free to connect with me!

Hello everybody! In this video, I talk about what my experience was applying to schools in the US through EducationUSA. I also touch on how my mindset changed throughout the process as a reminder that sometimes, what you think is best for you might not necessarily be so. Always be open to new opportunities because you never know what is out there for you:). Don't fear, doubt or self-reject. If ...

Great video actually

I hear you on vlogging! I find it hard at times to strike a balance between being present and vlogging (I choose to be present majority of the time lol), but this was fun to watch!
Of course you were watching Riss and Quan, smh lol..🤣
Looking forward to more Northwestern University videos like this 🙌🏾🔥
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Interesting video. I can see that making these decisions takes a lot of thought. You may like the city, but the conditions of living may not be what you’re looking for and that’s totally valid. Like at the end of the da, if you’re gonna be stressed by school, you may as well be stressed in an environment you’re comfy in 😂😂 good stuff
Exactly! There's so much to consider. I don't want to be stressed and broke lol.
Loving the updates! 🙌🏾 This was very fun to watch.
Thank you @faithintheprocess! Your support means a lot to me <3
@@makayachilekwa5600 Always Makaya ✨ I stay proud of you.
Awesome video!!! What exactly is phd recruitment? Does it imply admission?
Thank you! A PhD recruitment weekend is basically an opportunity for the student to assess if the school is a great fit for them. Each school does it differently though; some schools will offer you admission first and then invite you on campus while others will use the weekend to conduct interviews first and then possibly offer you admission later.
This was a great video to watch! Congratulations again on your offers! ❤️🙏🏾🙌🏾
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support

Aaww..thank you so much Makaya! I appreciate the shoutout 🙏🏾❤️🙌🏾

Thanks Thabo!! <3
this was super informative! side note; you look pretty <3 !!
Thank you sis <3!
I can't believe the type of stress I'm signing up for 😅, anyway we thank God all went well,
Haha be prepared! But I am sure you will do well. All the best!
First of all, load shedding is so problematic 🤦🏾♀️.. We thank God for internet cafe's, family & IT personnel. I totally understand...I also don't like answering the 'tell me about yourself' question because it's so vague. I don't know what exactly to say.
Exactly! It was such a stressful experience.
This was very insightful, I'll try all these tips thank you
Thank you so much for this!
Glad it was helpful, Judy!!
You are such an inspiration Makaya. You go girl🎉
Aww...thank you so much Lusekelo!! I appreciate it <3
This was much needed advice. Thank you! 🙏🏽🙌🏾
Always welcome!!
Very practical tips. I love the last tip - "don't idolise your goal". I'm definitely guilty of this but I make adjustments
Ah yes Jesse! You are not alone. We can only get better from here.
📌 thank you for this!
You are always welcome sis!!
Such a nice story! Feels odd to call it a story I think a nice history seems better 😄 very inspiring ❤️
Thank you so much Taonga!
Can’t wait to see where this life takes you! Always proud of you!
Aww Thank you so much!!!
So proud of you Makaya❤️
Thank you T!!!
I think one of the most paralyzing experiences during such a journey is just thinking of all you have to do in the application process & the possible mental & emotional toll it may have on you. But it’s so encouraging to hear how you braved through it all & just DID IT!! I love that!
Aww thank you sis!!
I really appreciate the tips you gave. This is very encouraging! Thank you for sharing this. Congratulations on your achievements Makaya!! ❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾
So interesting
