  • Hey everyone! I just wanted to share my 2023 college reaction videos with you guys, as college seasons are always around and extremely stressful. I just want everyone to know that college decisions are only a small part of your amazing life ahead, and no matter how many rejections you have (just like I did, lmao), you will eventually end up in a college where you will have an amazing next four years of your life. Whether you're a high school freshman or senior watching this, please don't stress about your college decisions and just know that you will do great during your college application season!
    My 2023 college decision results:
    UCLA ✅ UCD ✅ UCB ⭕️ UCSB ✅ UCSD ✅ UCI ✅
    Harvard ❌ Columbia ❌ Yale ❌ UPenn ❌ Cornell ❌ Princeton ❌ Brown ❌
    MIT ⭕️❌ Duke ❌ JHU❌ UChicago ❌ Stanford ❌ Northwestern ❌
    UNC ✅ CMU ❌ Tufts ❌ WUSTL ⭕️ Case Western ✅ Notre Dame ❌
    Rice ⭕️ UMich ⭕️ UT Austin ❌ USC ⭕️❌ UWM ✅ Vanderbilt ❌
    Boston College ✅ NYU ❌
    Please leave a comment down below if you’d like to see my high school stats or any other college application related videos. Thanks y’all!

    It’s mental how US students can basically apply to as many as you want - in the UK we can apply to FIVE maximum.

    congrats on your acceptances and on making it through application season! a comment below said something about it being unbelievable you applied to 32 colleges and I agree, you put in a lot of effort and still got into some amazing choices :D plus, I really like how you accepted rejections and deferrals - a lot of times those hit the hardest, but like you said in your advice, the process is random and we do what we can. After all, happy endings are possible no matter where you go :) best of luck to you!

      I'd say that if you can do it, why not? Sometimes the college decision process is such a curveball that applying to more colleges can widen your net and increase your chances of getting into a good school (and consequently, getting a better financial aid package since top schools usually give out better aid, depending on your financial situation).

    Imagine applying to 32 schools. It is simply making the acceptance rate lower than what it should be and giving the admission officers not as much time to look at other applications. This is just not necessary and it’s a complete waste of time. How much money do you have to waste? It’s destructive to the process.

      Spend more time writing better essays, getting better grades and recommendation letters by applying fewer schools.
