arpi park - "my grades were not the best"...his interpretation of not the best is 3.6/4.0 gpa in high school...my interpretation of not the best is 2.4/4.0 gpa in high school.
@@Alejandro-vn2si yes, having a 3.6 or above gpg will definitely get your application reviewed but it depends on other aspects of your application as well. how are your sat/act test scores? what about your extracurricular activities? how well written is your "why you want to attend" paper? you stated that you are an english learner and your name here is alejandro, i dont know if thats your real name but i can only assume that you are either from or your parents are from central/south america. the thing is these prestigious universities prefer to have a very diverse group of students, your background would be a plus for their admissions because you represent an underrepresented ethnic group.
@@sthao1733 well my SAT is not the best one, but I am involved in a club. Also I wrote several articles for two newspapers and I have been involved a lot extracurriculars.
with your background, gpa, extra curricular activities, written two newspaper articles, i would encourage you to apply. im guessing you are entering your senior year this upcoming fall? i would advise you to give the sat another shot. you have all summer to study for it if stanford is truly your dream school. if you dont mind asking what was your score? you dont need to provide the exact score but give me a range like between 1350-1420 or something. even if you dont get admitted just know that its not the end of the world. you can get the same great education from a public school like the university of washington or the university of michigan. dont look so much at school rankings. look more at fit, culture, etc.
This was a really cool video!! I just wanted to comment on something arpi said - I actually go to MIT, and we definitely don't have quotas for grades here. In fact, in some classes it has even been said that technically everyone can get an A if they do well enough in the class. There is also no sense of competition on campus and from my experience, everyone actually wants to help each other because that benefits them more than competing! :)
@@marouamaroua7261 I doubt any of them reply, but you can try 😂 first thing I'll do if (when) I get into my dream college is actually respond to people that are confused and need help, like I do rn.
Great video. I’m a hs senior and my college application process was similar to arpi’s in terms of scores, etc. The college admissions process for top schools is really just a big game that depends on your ability to form a coherent narrative and develop a compelling story in order to differentiate yourself from the masses of 1600 / 36 scorers. I feel like that is one the big things that some kids don’t understand, you can improve your odds of admission by focusing on some unique aspect of your application.
I have just received my letter of admission from Stanford and I must say: Having watched this video before applying really helped me to contextualize the process fr. I also confirm what Arpi said about Stanford and college applications in general. Having exotic interests and a passion for something really helps to increase your chances.
Is Arpi the Big Head from silicon valley😆😆😆 But really I liked Arpi's personality... Seemed like a simple man. And at 14:49 he was like so clueless 🤣🤣 Absolutely loved that guy😆
I took the act once, never studied, terrible score. God I was so unaware when I was younger. Having no one to guide you or mentor when your young is a huge disadvantage. Lucky I learned from my mistakes and was able to help my brothers do better then I did coming out of high school.
Since I'm done watching all of Elliot's vids now I'm gonna watch other vids as long as Elliot is there. HAHAHA I'M SUCH A CRAZY FAN! LOVE ALL OF YOU GUYS
wow this video was very enlightening. i never thought of grades in the way that arpi stated... grades only matter if youre going into grad school. also, i realized that not a lot of people know what they want to do in life. not many people can see long-term goals into the future... they can only plan for goals up to 3 months and the long long long term goals is very dependent upon what life throws at you along the way. thanks for the video joma! i learned a lot :)
It is important for grad school, but a high GPA for your undergrad can help to boost your application/resume for that first job. After your first job, though, your work experience and recommendations are what matters.
Well I mean, now seeing it, getting in to a normal to decent school is pretty fine with me. I know my strengths and I think I know what I can do with the world, so what the heck does getting into a grand university have to do with it. Whether they see what I have or not I'm getting that bread.
16:35 interestingly for my O levels, i wrote a narrative about developing an interest in learning my own langauge(tamil). i got an A1 too so i guess when u write something from the heart, higher chances of doing very well i had been struggling for years to speak tamil due to insecurity and not having a practical reason to do so but after meeting my tuition teacher, she helped me develop that interest in tamil by linking it to my heritage and identity. so putting all this into a 3 page essay was very appealing to the examiners who are in the UK and want to see something authentic to my country(singapore)
