Hi Caroline!! Ofc, so I applied to this program called Creators Institute (ran by a Georgetown professor, Eric Koester). The program has a partnership with a publishing house and they provide a lot of resources/support for authors!! Definitely check it out as something to do this fall.
@@irisfu6929 OMG I'm in the Summer cohort with Koester! It's such a cool experience, especially having a personal editor, an assistant, and a whole community! It was daunting at first, especially bc I'm a rising senior is HS, but having these resources makes the process so much more engageable!
@@aliaabbas8462 This is amazing!! And it's so funny to see someone from the cohort here haha -- I'm not sure if we've met yet (through the Zoom sessions). Which day are you in and are you nonfiction or fiction?? Would love to learn more!
@@irisfu6929 I'm on non-fiction track for the Wed sessions. Also I met a friend through the session who lives legit in my district and is a rising freshman at Harvard- which totally shocked me bc we never told each other abt our plans!! So crazyy. I'm interested in learning more about empowering refugees and what that means in terms of the humanitarian crisis. I'm planning on getting primary interviews from UNHCR officers and journalists who I aspire to be like! It's so fun and I couldn't make a better decision. (Also idk if you remember but you helped me get a connection to a refugee org. through Openland )
Iris!! Thank you for this video. What you said about writing a book proposing changes the education system - I was literally thinking the same thing!! But with the Canadian education system. I am a third year psych student in Canada, and I was also just telling my prof about how the high school is not designed for students on either end of the spectrum: those who struggle and those who wish to push academic boundaries. Another huge problem is the lack of BIPOC representation in the English and history curriculum. I don’t have a publisher or anything (not nearly as organized as where you are XD). Maybe once I am a few thousands words in, we could share our experiences and what we have! I would love to chat with you about your ideas on the education system sometime! All the best! ❤️
Hi Alice!! This is so exciting to meet someone who actually cares about the education system too! It just doesn't seem like a mainstream social issue atm. I'd love to connect and chat more about the education system. Good luck on your book and keep me updated on how it goes!
hey iris! i love your channel and you're one of the most self-motivated people i've ever come across! i was thinking-when you get to campus in the fall, it would be really cool for you to go over your admissions file. i'm not sure if stanford kept your file from when you were rejected along with your accepted application, but it would be amazing if they did and you could compare the two.
I'm working on getting rid of my formal/educational presentation "personality". UA-cam blocked my upload because it used copyright music. This is a link on Vimeo. It was for a high school class, it was fun to do, but so dry. vimeo.com/416077606. By the way, my dad said "have her read SPIN selling by Neal Rackham. He said he uses the concepts to close 6-8 figure deals with banks, governments, fortune 100 companies, etc. Can't wait to see what you do in college!! My summer plan is around learning my 4 AP classes so Sophomore year is easy. AP Stats, AP Calc, AP CSA and APWH. I'm also trying to up my programming skill w/ R for statistics. Other than that, I'm prepp'ing for the SAT and MATH II subject test in August (hopefully). I've been scoring 1520-1580 on SAT and 800 on Math II, so hopefully I can just be done with them forever in August.
Nice video!! It’s great that you know what you need to work on. It seems like you’re going to have a super productive summer and I wish you the best of luck!! Also gonna have to check out that sales book recommended by your dad haha, thx for sharing!
i've been watching a lot of your videos over the past few weeks, and i just wanna say thank you, especially for this video. seeing how accomplished and put together you are is so inspiring. i'm going into my senior year (college app season woohoo) and have a lot of things lined up to do this summer but feel so unorganized. thankfully, this video popped up at the right time. the tips you showed in this video will definitely help me as i prep for the upcoming months!! so once again, thank you and congrats on all you have done and are doing. also, my brother went to stanford and loved it, and i'm sure you will too :)
Hi Kathryn, I’m so glad this video has helped you!! As you can tell, I put a lot of time (24hrs/wk hehe) into UA-cam and comments like yours make it worth it :) I hope you can join me and your brother at Stanford next year!! Good luck this college apps season-I’m sure you’re going to kill it 💪💪
Hi Iris! I know its a been a while since you have posted the video, but I had a question regarding the Creator Institute program you applied for. Is this program free or does it cost money to participate?
Interesting video! :) I have been struggling with being productive, I feel like the quarantine stalled my progress 😪 I recently uploaded a video sharing how focusing on progress instead of perfection has helped me reach more of my goals. I do still have productive days, and when I have a bad day I don't let it drag me down :)
i love how ambitious you are! It's honestly so inspiring. Could you make a video about how you make UA-cam videos! also congrats on how fast your channel is growing! you're one of my favorite youtubers!
HEY IRIS I’m working on a passion project centered on the environment this summer, and we’d love to have high schoolers from around the US and the world join us!! Would you be willing to consider a shoutout for us? :D THANK YOU
Hi Melody! The reality is that it doesn't always happen. However, I think by setting a high bar (e.g. having more things on your to do lists than you can really do in a day), you wound up doing at least part of it, which is more than what you would have done if you just had a small list. I hope that makes sense. Basically, even beyond the day to day to do lists, I'm always pushing myself with goals that are one step beyond achievable, then I always end up accomplishing at least 80 (and at best 100) percent of that.
also that might not have directly answered your question haha. As for high energy and motivation, I think it really comes from having goals that you are super excited about. It also helps to look at life through a positive lens (e.g. every failure is a growth experience, little things like a warm cup of tea is a blessing). An excited and positive perspective for the world makes you a more high energy and motivated person.
ahaha I think I just traveled to China to visit my family, did a short study abroad in Spain, and went on vacation with my mom. Basically a lot of travelling. I think I might have also studied for some SAT subject tests just to get those over with.
hey iris! your videos are always so helpful, thank you for uploading them!! :) i wanted to ask you if you had any advice on my course selections for my junior yr.. i'm trying to decide if I should add a STEM course (engineering) into my course schedule, even if I'm not interested in pursuing stem in college - i'm actually hoping to go into something along the lines of business/economics/foreign policy/law. and since i'm also taking ap bio next year, would it look strange for me to double up on science courses when the rest of my application doesn't really indicate that much interest in stem? just trying to decide whether it would make sense given my interests and the rest of my app (it's not that i hate stem courses, but i just don't feel it would add much for my app)
I would say that it’s not a huge deal that you take this class or not. Taking it will show that you’re going for a rigorous course load, which is good, but not taking it won’t hurt you since you’re not going into stem. Overall, I’d say try to take the most rigorous course load possible that still aligns with your interests. But even if you’re going beyond your “scope of interests” that’s totally fine. Colleges have gen ed requirements for the reason of people exploring other subjects out of their interest areas
hey iris! i saw your earlier video about how you took college classes over the summer. since they're quite expensive, i was wondering if you were able to get any financial aid for that as an e-campus student, and if so from where? thank you so much!
I got a scholarship from ZONTA (they were the only org that offered a scholarship for non-seniors), but that's about it. the situation is quite unfortunate, but i was really lucky to have my mom who supported me. if the situation is really not doable, i'd recommend talking with your counselor to see if your hs can cover college summer classes as "dual enrollment". i've never done this before, but i think it could work, since your hs is technically supposed to support your education. your counselor could also refer you to scholarship/aid opportunities
hey iris! you're such an inspo to me & thank you for your informative youtube videos! could you please make a video on the best ways to get volunteer hours as a high schooler amidst the current pandemic?
Thanks Renita! I would recommend that you look for ways to organize online. Try organizing a virtual zoom tutoring session, or something similar. Anything you do for your community so hour taking pay would count as volunteering!!
hey iris!!! Thank you so much for creating so many great contents!! i'm not from the US but i still binge through most of your vids because you're a gem!! just to let you know you have inspired me A LOT
I'm not from the us but your videos are really motivating, it's kind of a dream of mine to get into uni there and i've recently been looking into the admissions process and stumbled across your channel. your videos are really inspiring!! even if i can't get into uni in the us i can live vicariously through you haha. just want to say that i admire your drive and passion a lot, wishing you all the best!
Aw this is so sweet. Thanks for stopping by my channel. I’m so glad that you’re finding these videos motivating, and I hope that they’re one step to you achieving your dream of going to uni in the US!! I believe in you 💪💪
Seems to me it might be a better idea to focus on your upcoming year at Stanford. Study CS/Economics in greater depth so you can hit the ground running and make the most of your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This is especially true if you are hoping for a high paying CS internship next summer.
thank you iris! just wanted to let you know that i did my first trial run of the passion planner for one week and i’m already so much more productive! and i’m going to complete this video’s worksheet now too :) thank you for all the inspiration- i have so many more projects and goals for the summer than i ever would have had if not for watching your videos. btw, your “Find of the Week” in your newsletter- the Yale Podcast- was so cool and so helpful. thanks for being you 💓
That’s amazing!! I’m so glad all this is helpful for you :))) have a great summer and lmk if you ever have more video ideas or feedback (good or bad haha)!! Thanks for this comment bc now I know what’s helping people 💕
Wow! You are going places! You are so incredibly hardworking and inspirational! I've been watching your videos about college admissions and passion projects, and I was wondering if you could make a video about times that you have experienced burnout and how you stayed motivated to keep going.
Hey Iris! This was so helpful! Would it be possible for you to upload a .docx version of the worksheet, for that would be easier for ppl to make a copy of and edit rather than a pdf? Thank you so much!
Hey Sahaana! I think if you control a (select all) then control c, you can copy the whole pdf and paste it into Microsoft word or a google doc. Then you can edit from there! Let me know if that works for you and if it doesn’t, I’ll post another version of it! 😊
hey Iris!! Just wanted to thank you for your video content! I’m going to be honest, you are the only youtuber I have found that is pursuing extracurriculars I am interested in! I know in previous videos you said that you didn’t want to receive any more Instagram dms, but is there a way I can contact you to have some discussions and ask a couple questions about your projects you are completing? :) I would love love love to see more videos on your book, research, and products!! Thank you again :,,)
Hey Sydney!! Would it be okay if you ask your questions here? We can continue the convo in this thread. I’d love to answer any questions that you have about my projects!
of course!! I was really curious as to how you came up with so many ideas on brilliant extracurriculars? I have never seen anyone do quite the same things as you, and I love how unique your ideas are! Also, how do you go through the research stages for writing a book? I’ve seen your other videos, but I’d love to watch some more in the future! How did you manage your time during high school with so many things you were doing?? I feel like I’m not doing nearly as much as you, but I’m still very stressed! I will refrain from asking too many questions hehe :)
@@sydneyanderson2484 1) on coming up with extracurriculars: I think this really comes down to thinking outside of the box or just reflecting on what really matters to you! Because you're so unique as an individual, it's likely that your interests will vary drastically from others. Therefore, just pursue the things that interest you, and it will probably naturally turn out to be different/unique. 2) on doing research for a book: this really depends on the type of book. For the intro econ book, I reviewed a lot of my past textbooks and the AP book to extract the main econ concepts. Then, I took notes on each concept, almost as if I were doing so for a class, and summarized everything in easy to understand language. For my book on the future of education, I'm planning to interview many policymakers, ed tech startup ceo's, or other big players in the field. Then, I plan to do some online researching (reading research papers, articles, watching documentaries) to complete the research process. 3) I used a planner religiously (the Passion Planner is gold), and quit things I didn't care about haha. Also, focusing on one thing at a time with no distraction was really important to making the most out of every minute. Finally, I think doing things in small chunks (e.g. 1 hr studying, 1 hr extracurricular, another hour studying) was helpful. These are some really great questions! I get a lot of video ideas from questions people ask so please feel free to keep them coming! Also, I highly recommend the book "the upside of stress" or the ted talk by the author. She really paints the way I view stress as something that can help rather than destroy our lives :)
ahh yes I understand!! Thank you for your input :) here are some video ideas I would love to see! Only do them if you like them thoughhh. •day in my life ! •extracurriculars for economic/business majors ! •how to make an impact as a teenager ! •writing/publishing vlogs ! •how I manage my website ! •how to turn your passion into an extracurricular ! •perhaps something about scholarships? :) •contests to apply to? (to get national awards?) (hehe basically I’m just interested in your life and how you became so successful!) Thank youu!!
Use WordPress.org not WordPress.com!! Itll be a lot cheaper and more versatile. Use Bluehost as the hosting service. Then, make sure you pay attention to SEO!

hey iris! your videos are always so helpful, thank you for uploading them!! :) i wanted to ask you if you had any advice on my course selections for my junior yr.. i'm trying to decide if I should add a STEM course (engineering) into my course schedule, even if I'm not interested in pursuing stem in college - i'm actually hoping to go into something along the lines of business/economics/foreign policy/law. and since i'm also taking ap bio next year, would it look strange for me to double up on science courses when the rest of my application doesn't really indicate that much interest in stem? just trying to decide whether it would make sense given my interests and the rest of my app (it's not that i hate stem courses, but i just don't feel it would add much for my app)

I move the unchecked tasks to the next day. Don’t beat yourself up over it and try again the next day :)
Is your internship paid? 50 hrs a week is a lot!

Seems to me it might be a better idea to focus on your upcoming year at Stanford. Study CS/Economics in greater depth so you can hit the ground running and make the most of your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This is especially true if you are hoping for a high paying CS internship next summer.
Haha yeah I actually plan on applying to some big tech companies for the summer. Good suggestion to start CS early!

Because you're so unique as an individual, it's likely that your interests will vary drastically from others. Therefore, just pursue the things that interest you, and it will probably naturally turn out to be different/unique. 2) on doing research for a book: this really depends on the type of book. For the intro econ book, I reviewed a lot of my past textbooks and the AP book to extract the main econ concepts. Then, I took notes on each concept, almost as if I were doing so for a class, and summarized everything in easy to understand language. For my book on the future of education, I'm planning to interview many policymakers, ed tech startup ceo's, or other big players in the field. Then, I plan to do some online researching (reading research papers, articles, watching documentaries) to complete the research process. 3) I used a planner religiously (the Passion Planner is gold), and quit things I didn't care about haha. Also, focusing on one thing at a time with no distraction was really important to making the most out of every minute. Finally, I think doing things in small chunks (e.g. 1 hr studying, 1 hr extracurricular, another hour studying) was helpful.
These are some really great questions! I get a lot of video ideas from questions people ask so please feel free to keep them coming! Also, I highly recommend the book "the upside of stress" or the ted talk by the author. She really paints the way I view stress as something that can help rather than destroy our lives :)
ahh yes I understand!! Thank you for your input :) here are some video ideas I would love to see! Only do them if you like them thoughhh.

Any recommendations on starting a blog?
Use WordPress.org not WordPress.com!! Itll be a lot cheaper and more versatile. Use Bluehost as the hosting service. Then, make sure you pay attention to SEO!
