hey everyone! im planning on doing a freshman year q&a very soon so if you have any questions for me about Stanford or this past year be sure to leave them in the comments!
I love watching college acceptance, etc., videos. Things are so different now then when I applied (way back in the late 90s!) I try to keep up with things as a mom, but also as an educator so I can help guide people in the right direction (granted my students are in 5th!) I noticed you’re from Gulf Breeze, which cracks me up that I somehow ended up on your videos because I live in Pensacola (a northern transplant here!) I hope you’re loving Stanford!
I want to do this with my law school application once I graduate in a few years. My school is very competitive so I’m curious to see why they thought I stood out.
After looking at your videos, I think your Duke Talent Identification Program enrollment played a big factor in your acceptance. It is indeed very impressive.
i find all of this information super fascinating. the one thing that really gets me is the privilege or wealth gap that is still so significant when it comes to who ends up being admitted to the ivy league. i've watched many of these college admissions videos and so many talk about having had experiences and summer internships abroad that have provided them with so much opportunity. of course not having the opportunity to do one single thing doesn't disqualify an applicant but it's definitely tough seeing the disparity amongst the different classes. i thought i had good educational opportunities available to me with my school district's career-oriented magnet schools but when you see the charter schools that some of these rich kids are going to, it really is on a whole other level. some of these 'feeder' schools literally send one in twenty students to an ivy league whereas maybe one student from my entire school would be accepted to an ivy. it really is a completely different world in some regions of the country
The amount of privilege/opportunity that she had is insane. I found it funny that one of the best quotes in her essays was about going abroad to immerse themselves in culture and food. It seems like that’s vacationing in a different country, no?
For the q&a about ur first year at stanford, what was it like first entering the campus and meeting people? What was it like to make friends? Do you think the campus feels and holds the prestige that it is held up to after you have been there?
Congratulations on getting into Stanford. All my life I dreamed of going to Stanford University. I was so happy to get that letter from Stanford University saying that I am on the waitlist ! I work at McDonald’s 🍔🍟 and serve as a pizza delivery person🍕🚗. I know that it’s just a matter of time ! Never give up on your dreams.
@@ivan6311 lots of schools give financial aid. Lots of schools also do not cost $300K for a bachelors. Unless he has a scholarship financial aid is still money he doesn’t have. I know this because parents who have the money to pay usually don’t have kids who work at McDonald’s. Don’t fall for the prestige of a school, it’s not as important as it used to be
lolol it was interesting to see your entire application reduced to the admissions officers' minimal comments and the final comment simply being "one to look at again". like you put so much into this and you seem very smart and talented but to an admissions officer you're still just one of many with great potential
my q&a questions! not college related: can you talk a little about your name and what it means? i love it! college related: 1. what's your favorite class you've taken? 2. how is stanford different from what you expected?
Hello! This is a comment for a Q&A video. I have some questions: 1) What is your major at Stanford? 2) Does Stanford help its students during the pandemic?
Thanks for being such an inspiration Tulla! Love how you offer such detailed and helpful information. Questions for Q and A: Biggest advice for high school? Best advice for applying to college/what you wish you knew before you applied Which things in high school you did that didn’t at all help the college admissions process and we’re a bit of a waste of time Best advice for memorization Best advice for studying Thanks!
Your application can either land in the hands of an Admissions officer that loves you and vouches for you even though you may not have the perfect number as most.....OR....you fill all the necessary blanks and even cured cancer but they don't care for you and toss your app
SPIV = Self-Presentation and Intellectual Vitality. That can be a tough one to prepare for. For the self-presentation part, I was coached beforehand by a professional taxidermist. I think I might have overdone it though, since although the poses during the interview were OK, it might have cost me some points on the vitality part.
hey tulla, love ur vids, i was just wondering if u remember this ofc, what classes did u take during ur junior year of high school? tysm, and keep being awesome!
i’ve always had an interest in law but it’s never been something i could see myself doing as a career. i definitely see myself more in the medical field long term
Hey,I'm currently going to be a junior in highschool and i really want to go to Stanford University do you have any tips on what to do in highschool so i can get accepted in Stanford or any other university?
“I looked at my admission file” videos would be met with yawns in the case of any other school than Stanford, and maybe three or so other universities. 😊
not everyone from the south has a southern accent. in fact, most do not. strong southern accents are mainly prominent in rural areas. if you live in the city, it's rare to come across anyone with an accent

Hsr= high school record, spiv= self presentation intellectual vitality

what we’ve all been waiting for😱😱

update: this was really informative :)
Q&A: What were some of the biggest changes when you transitioned from high school to college in terms of academics, daily life, etc?
For the q&a about ur first year at stanford, what was it like first entering the campus and meeting people? What was it like to make friends? Do you think the campus feels and holds the prestige that it is held up to after you have been there?
thanks for the questions! ill be sure to answer in the q&a!!

You can’t afford Stanford then
@@DarthVader-ry2hg Darth I never said that I was poor. But I do have the work ethic.
@@edwardslizewski4338 not about your work ethic though I’m sure you do.
@@DarthVader-ry2hg Stanford gives plenty of financial aid though-

2) Does Stanford help its students during the pandemic?

Best advice for applying to college/what you wish you knew before you applied
Which things in high school you did that didn’t at all help the college admissions process and we’re a bit of a waste of time
Best advice for memorization
Best advice for studying
Thanks!
q & a : do you think you need a cohesive theme throughout all of your supplemental essays? did you include that in yours? thank you!!
Loved the video! Keep up with the good work! :)
Early- I love your videos so much, they inspire me to work hard :)
aww thanks
@@TullaBee hello
@@TullaBee of course!

(For q&a) Which was your worst/best experience as a freshman?
For q&a, why did you choose Stanford compared to the other schools you’ve applied for. And what is your major?
for more info on my "why Stanford?" check out my college decision video!!

Wow, she so pretty and smart.
this was so helpful!! thank you!!
my favorite youtuber
you're amazing! could you share your Stanford supplemental essays if comfortable?
huh I just hit the notification button like an hour ago
good timing I guess :))
Can you read the essays that got you into Stanford?

Congratulation!
How come the Letters of Rec. comments were waived?
i think it’s a relatively common thing to do. it’s a check box at the end of that section of the application and i checked it
@@TullaBee Oh, okay. That's something I may consider doing also. Thanks!
hey tulla, love ur vids, i was just wondering if u remember this ofc, what classes did u take during ur junior year of high school? tysm, and keep being awesome!
I took ap lang, ap calc bc, ap chem, ap gov and politics, ap capstone seminar, and honors latin 3
Some of your earlier videos were about mock trials. Did you ever consider pursuing a career in law?
i’ve always had an interest in law but it’s never been something i could see myself doing as a career. i definitely see myself more in the medical field long term
Hey,I'm currently going to be a junior in highschool and i really want to go to Stanford University do you have any tips on what to do in highschool so i can get accepted in Stanford or any other university?
be rich, less than 15% of stanford students come from working class/low income backgrounds
She made a video of stats, maybe you could compare your stats to hers.
Read the comments of Elon Musk concerning higher education today.
Also listen to the Yuri Bezmenov lecture on UA-cam.
Do a passion project or internship or research
I love these Stanford related videos 🥰
glad you like them!
"my unconventional playlists" "belting out the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody" I've never heard of that song before
interesting
How many high school volunteer hours did you do?
I had 450+ at the time of submitting applications
@@TullaBee ok, thank you for replying
Useful and interesting. Thank you
Amazing school I hope to apply for the yacht team one day
my son's stanford interview is tomorrow
How do you set up this kind of meeting. I want to know what is in my file for my top school.
i sent in an online request for records through stanford registrar’s office!
They don't make it easy to understand what it all means haha

Southern girl? Wow, it seems as if regional accents are really disappearing in America (perhaps around the world?)
not everyone from the south has a southern accent. in fact, most do not. strong southern accents are mainly prominent in rural areas. if you live in the city, it's rare to come across anyone with an accent
