I’m surprised your channel isn’t bigger,Thank you so much for your advice
ikr
Aww the rejection letters realllllyyy hit home for me 💕💕 All people see is my success but there have been so many times I’ve almost quit, being denied to writing camp and like you, YoungArts twice now! Each one hurts but it feels validating and encouraging when internet humans project more than just their successes... thank you for the inspirational advice!
I feel you!! It’s important to remember that everyone’s success is accompanied by a million unseen failures. Keep it up and don’t give up!
I feel so ashamed when I compare myself to you....😔 I'm a freshman and I don't even know what to do like extracurricular, or community service since I moved to America 2017 and it only been 3 years, tbh, everything is so blurry to me. My school is suck, my English is bad, my parent can't really support me because they don't really know what going on either :( I feel so hurt too see all the confidence and awards, the amazing things u do at youth compare to mine is terrible😔
Please makes more videos like this❤ you are my idol who I will look up. I really really want to become such a smart person like u in the future. Thanks for taking ur time to make videos for us❤❤❤

I'm in the middle of application season right now and I really appreciate how helpful your videos have been
I don't think I did--I think i used my additional info section to expand on my journalism, but you can definitely include it if its an option!
great channel and video
Beauty of colors Thank you!
Hi! So I’m a freshmen in high school right now and we have both the AP and IB program (I go to school in the US) and I was just wondering if ivy leagues prefer one program over the other? P.S I love you so much and thank you for inspiring me to work harder!
Thank you!!! colleges don’t automatically consider AP or IB harder or more impressive on a transcript. Read this : blog.prepscholar.com/whats-better-for-you-ib-or-ap
Just say you in Jublie, btw I think your great! Ever read fantasy books? Rick Riordan is my favorite childhood author

This girl seems so cool, haha
I love creative writing and my goal is to publish a novel before graduation (I'm a sophomore) (: any tips?
Namjoonology good advice here : becomeawritertoday.com/how-to-write-a-book/
Just curious, what major(s) did you put on your applications to all ivies ?
English, Theater Studies, Film Studies, Creative Writing
If I get internships and awards then put them into the application, how would do college know they are real and legit? Do you provide pictures somewhere or proof? I'm a sophomore so I dont know how the college process truly feels like
right so a lot of the college app is honor code. you list them on the common app form under honors and awards. keep in mind that admissions officers can call up places/organizations to verify!
Hi Cassandra, can you make a video about time management ?
hey I just made a video about how to stay productive in these times!!!! hope it increases your productivity! ua-cam.com/video/YQR64d3F7mc/v-deo.html
My latest video on time management & scheduling. i take a super deep dive into how i stay organized: ua-cam.com/video/PdjWCIDaSHM/v-deo.html
hi cassandra! i’m a young writer in high school too and plan on applying to the adroit summer mentorship. i saw that u were accepted and was wondering if u had any tips?
for your writer's statement, i'd say be creative and honest! why write? why poetry (or whatever genre you're going for)? what does writing do for you? why is art important to the world? these are questions to get you thinking, not to necessarily answer explicitly in your statement. and like they say, specificity is key. why adroit? what do you like about adroit specifically? some of your past favorite adroit poems that had an impact on you? all fair game!

Cassandra Hsiao hi again, cassandra! i just wanted to say thank you for the amazing tips. i found out today that i was accepted to the mentorship program and cannot believe it!! the acceptance rate was less than 5% this year and i couldn’t have written an amazing writer’s statement without your advice.
@@elyset5072 congratulations!!! that's amazing!!!!! hopefully it'll be a super productive and creative summer! hope to see your works published soon!
HI you are awesome ,thanks for the video!btw how do the admission officers verify these honors if they are not internationally recognized?My problem is that I am a writer in Nepali language and most of my awards certificate are written in Nepali language.So they verify through Guidance counsellors or do they ask me for the certificates?
No , they don't. It's all based on honor code.
However, sometimes they will do some online checking on some major awards or call school counselor for clarification.
@@CassandraHsiao honor code means??and one thing my primary school achievements arent counted at all?I am glad that you are still replying 😁
@@gardenmenuuu honor code means they trust you not to lie! and yes your primary school awards should not be included
@@CassandraHsiao in my activities section,does the time I spent on that activity when I was in primary school not count?I have been writing in Nepali literature since my primary school till now .So that means I only include the hours and weeks spent from class 9 onwards or for activity section is it different than honour and I can include everything?
What major did u take in Yale?
i talk about it here! ua-cam.com/video/RILlQsauh9c/v-deo.html
You cute tho 😘😘
