Thank you for this helpful video!! You're one of the only college youtubers who gives genuinely applicable tips lol
Haha I’m so glad that you found my tips helpful!! I know how hard it was for me to learn these so I wanted to share my knowledge. I wish you the best of luck for your college apps! And thank you so much for your support :)
omg I’m applying to rice this year, any tips? especially for the essays😩 btw loved the video!!!
Ahhh good luck I hope you do really well with admissions! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and I really hope you found some of the tips helpful :)
For Rice's essays/application specifically, definitely do your research! There are so many things that make Rice unique. For example, the res co system is really cool, there are one credit hour student-led classes over random topics like Harry Potter and origami, there are SO many study abroad opportunities, etc. Rice also has a Trustee merit scholarship that I received which along with the Rice Investment Grant (more info can be found at financialaid.rice.edu/rice-investment ) is a full ride and absolutely insane - do some research about it but if you're able to show through your application that you're a community leader, entrepreneur, etc. (more info can be found at financialaid.rice.edu/types-aid/merit-scholarships ) then you'll have a good shot at getting it.
I'm more than happy to help answer any other questions you have, and thank you so much for your support! 💙
Great video! Where did you get the supplementary essay prompts for each school?
Great question and thank you! I mainly used blog.collegevine.com/ and searched for specific schools, but there are many websites with that kind of information. A lot of schools post their supplementals on their websites as well.
What are the names of all colleges you applied to?
oo
When did you start/finish your common app essay by with this timeline?
Good question! I started on the essay right after school ended, so probably mid may. And it’s hard to say when I finished. I had something I was happy with by the end of June or so (which was nice because I didn’t have to worry about it too much), but then I’d go back and make changes throughout the summer. Even after I applied to all my early schools, I still found things that I wanted to change before submitting to regular decision schools. That’s what’s so nice about starting early - there is plenty of time to keep making changes if you want! I hope that answered your question
Oh ok that makes sense thank you! Can I ask how you were able to choose which traits to highlight about yourself and what story to use at the start for the essay? I have so many ideas but I’m not sure which is the best to make my application look the greatest.
@@jennabrual5119 hmm this is a hard question to answer. I’d say one of two things: 1) choose an essay that displays traits which you want to show to admissions. These would be more of traits that would make you a good candidate for a specific school/major. So for example, since I applied as a CS major and several of the schools I applied to are technical, I wanted to show that I am a problem solver and think logically. 2) what are the first couple words that come to mind when you think about yourself and your personality? From there, try to find essay stories that show those traits. Another example for this is that although CS is completely unrelated to art, art is a huge part of what makes me who I am, so I wrote some supplemental essays about art. I hope that helps!
@@MinaRyumae I understand thanks so much!
@@jennabrual5119 no problem! Please feel free to reach out if you have any other questions. I also have several videos talking more in detail about some school essays as well as my common app which might help you out!
Is it important to have a counsellor teacher for admission?
I believe that all applications require a recommendation from a guidance counselor, if that is what you’re asking!
@@MinaRyumae thank you ❤️
What if those students who already graduated from high school & have gap year?
I’m not exactly sure what your question is. You are still going through the same application process, correct? I don’t see why anything would be different
@@MinaRyumae i mean can i self report my all documents?
u r gorgeous 😌🖐
Thank you you're so sweet ☺️
