Hi everyone! THAT'S MY LITTLE BROTHER!!!! like comment and subscribe. He's pretty cool. Thanks for the views :)
Your Little brother is a legend to me. Now that he got fantastic Medical school I'm not surprised.
I'm showing him to my Nephew who got into Yale, Princeton, Cornell , John Hopkins, U of Michigan..But choice to go to Yale.. However it shows getting into ivy's don't determine your future and if you get more $$$$$ from another top school go.
it's much harder if you are asian
Especially when schools want also to accept international Crazy-Rich Chinese that want to pay full price.
Yup that's why some students are suing Harvard now for discrimination. You literally have to have better scores/stats than everyone (race-wise) is you're Asian, in order to be considered.
Can't agree more.
Karabo Mohale you don’t know nothing about it. International students are barely offered scholarship for at least undergrad studies ok? Even if some scholarship was offered, there are two reasons - 1. The school is not among the top; 2. Scholarship is extremely limited, like at most 4,000-5,000 usd ( for private schools). Also, our tuition fee is much higher than you guys. For instance, an in-state student only need to pay 10,000 something for an annual tuition fee for UC schools and it is even without the scholarship (every state university is like the same), however, international students have to pay at least 45,000-50,000 usd for a year.
Karabo Mohale complete lies if you knew anything about the admission style you would know that students with parents earning under the fees 45-62k usd Harvard pays for the students to attend Harvard. Research before spreading lies in the comments making poor people doubt themselves.
Your dad is the motivation I need everyday. Really supportive!!
I got rejected or waitlisted by all the ivies I applied to too. But you got accepted into some really amazing schools so I wish you the best of luck at UT! Go kick ass and show the ivies what they’re missing out on!!
Congrats Anthony! Getting it to UT's honor college is still a really big accomplishment so don't worry about the ivy schools they're not worth all the hype and the huge price tag anyway! and I'm sure you'll love it in Austin it has so much to do and all my friends that go to UT love it!
Hey Anthony thanks so much for posting this video! I really admired your positive attitudes. Tbh I was so devastated last week from not getting in to Ivies but then I realized life is so long and college is really what we make of it. I wish you all the best at UT it is an amazing school!
Anthony, no matter what college you chose out of your acceptances, I'm sure you'll do great things. I think as Asian-Americans (I am speaking to this as I am one), we put so much pressure on these types of milestones e.g., getting accepted into Ivy's, etc. You overall seem like a great person from your videos; personable, positive, and so talented at violin! Best of your with your undergraduate career, and as someone just finishing up mine, I can tell you that you are about to be changed more in these few years than your whole life by leaps and bounds.
Awh thank you so much for your kind message Mendi! Happy Easter :)
see exactly what she said. Does not matter what school you go to per se, just kick ass and be a badass wherever you go and you will get noticed.
Accepted at Swarthmore yet rejected from Brandeis?! That proves that the college admissions process is a total crapshoot. Best of luck though wherever you end up you seem super motivated and positive!!!!! :)
Every university has their own list of specifications.
Getting into swarthmore and rice is no joke. Just know that swarthmore is a good school for Wall Street and rice is great for oil-related banking in Houston. So is McCombs at UT
Hi Anthony! Congrats on all your acceptances and thank you for making videos for the rest of us that's going through the college admissions process. Btw I got really excited for a second when I understood your dad's comments.
You're so cute! I love how chill and composed your reactions were both to when you were accepted but also deferred!! Good luck with your future :)
My friend was rejected by northeastern and tufts yet was waitlisted at Harvard... If that doesn't say anything about the college admissions process than I don't know what does.
samuelcook13 tufts and northeastern yield protect so hard
samuelcook13 I got rejected by Harvard, Columbia, and Stanford but got into USC so I couldn’t be happier... but at the same time got waitlisted by Santa Clara my lowest safety. Crazy how it works.
rip ur tuition
His father said "Thats what I expected" when he opened Harvard. Lol.
I’m glad that you posted this video because this is reality... all of the other videos are about how they got into an ivy but that doesn’t happen often
Ahh I love reaction videos & congratulations don’t let the rejections get you down!!! I hope UT is a great fit for you. Can’t wait for co’ 2019 😃
Honestly the whole college admissions process, ESPECIALLY the ivies is just a crapshoot. I mean, I have a 4.6 gpa, a 34 act and 1510 sat with 800 on math II and 760 bio, and was a three season athlete and captain, all while getting numerous awards. Yet, just like you, I was accepted into 0 of the 7 ivy league schools I applied to (0 for 10 when including MIT, Stanford, and UChicago). Just hold your head up man, it's just based off luck when you get to a certain point. I will take my talents to Boston College and forget about all of the false hopes I had. If you work hard enough then it won't matter what school you go to anyway.
Edit: I actually ended up enrolling at Boston University :)
samuelcook13 no ECs?
just cuz you were a captain of a sports team doesn't mean you are good enough for IVY. you prob were not well rounded enough for it, a lot of people with lower gpa's than 4.6 can get into an IVY, ivy's look at the whole package they have ton's of applicants and could care less about making money compared to the other schools
D.W. It's not about being well rounded. You're supposed to develop your passion
the point of applying is to show your demeanour, passions change over time, but being well rounded is the best way to prove your worth
I was waitlisted at Harvard, Cornell, and Dartmouth...clearly they thought I was "well rounded enough" lol
Dude, you are so awesome. You also had excellent stats, I am sure you will be successful in your future career. After all, it's not the school but what you do that defines you. I truly expect to read about you in the future.
Ted, thank you so much for your kind comment! This made my morning :)
LOL Brandeis playin' hard to get
Astonishi
My brother goes to UT and he is absolutely in love with it!! Great choice! Hope to join you next year as a '23
No haha class of 2023
I remember I was so crushed when I didn't get into my fancy top choice colleges, but guarantee you won't even be thinking about Harvard or Yale when you go to UT Austin. HAVE FUN!
Don’t worry, this year was supposedly the most competitive year for all colleges because the massive number of students I got into 4 where I’ll be going to RIT or UConn for mechanical engineering
i graduated from UT Austin years ago. You will love the school.
It's a brutal process man. Similar to you, 0-7 for me 8 years ago. Got into Brandeis at last. UT has great business program, congra!
Congratulations on you acceptances! Your stats are similar to my daughter’s (her Dad teaches AP and Honors Physics and has a Masters in Electrical and Computer Engineering), and she is graduating from Harvey Mudd College in Engineering next month. She considered UT for grad school, but is looking at a job offer in Silicon Valley! Enjoy!!
Tang, you are an amazing young man with a bright future ahead of you. Unfortunately for the Ivies, they missed a great opportunity to have you.
Ahh, I appreciate the kind words, Leo! :)
Congrats on getting into UT’s HPB! I’m a junior here at UT and wish you only the best!
Your dad is so supportive
Congrats Anthony on all of your acceptances! I know UT will be amazing for you! :)))
Dang sorry about the Ivies but congrats on UT and Rice! I got into Penn so was really hoping you'd get in too.
I had the same exact experience with the ivies haha, hope you enjoy UT it’s a really cool school!!
great job man I need to keep telling myself I need to work harder. This is an inspiration. (:
Finally some realistic admissions, thank you :)
Hey Nice Job! If I were you i would probably choose either Rice or Princeton but your the one who makes the choice!
Congrats on getting into UT at least. I couldn't even get in on my first attempt so you should be very proud of that, especially for business honors! Maybe I'll see you next fall 👀
Omg your dad “HUh where??” For every ivy 😂 Congrats on all your acceptances.
Congrats bro. Hahaha, your dad is so cute
bruh lol. You dont need to go to the best college just to do something. You can do whatever you want wherever you want. If you do not get into the school of your choice, and maybe you wanted to do research because of a facility they have there, just get in touch with who runs the facility. When you get about 3/4 through college, you realize it is not where you go to school, it is what you did with that time. You can learn everything no matter where you go. You can learn the same stuff at the worst school. You may just have to self teach more so. You cannot rely on a school to teach you everything because they will not teach you everything. I guarantee you that, if you just go to a good/decent school for the program you want, you will be absolutely more than fine. Instead of MIT for engineering, you went somewhere else that was not "ranked" as well but still regarded as a good school... you will still be set. Wait about 2-4 years, and this moment of rejection will feel like a complete waste of time and feeling because you realize it really is not where you go to school (to a certain extent, yes), but how you engage yourself and learn. You can be a badass wherever you go, you do not need to go to IVY schools to be the best. There are people smarter than all the MIT and IVY students that go to much less regarded schools. I know this because I have been to several colleges and each one has so many people who would wipe the floor with IVY students. All "good enough" schools will be able to prepare you for what you need to know. You will see it will not matter which school you go to really, but how you apply yourself, at whichever school you go to.
From an engineering student standpoint, it does not matter where you go, there are professors who know and do not know things. You WILL have to teach yourself a majority of the schooling, and high school does not prepare you for stem fields. I went to the best school in my state, and it did not prepare me for engineering school because high school was easy, did not even need to try. But come to engineering programs, good luck trying to get by without trying, you will not make it. After statics, you have to try and study or you will fail out of it. Best of luck, the rejections will only bother you until you get acquainted with your school of choice and then you will totally forget about the rejections and you will then laugh about them with your new friends then you will kick ass with all those 4 or so years in this OTHER college in which you can still become smarter then an IVY student. IVY students may not even be able to survive in the real world. I have professors who make fun of IVY students they have met and did not know what they were talking about.
Congratulations on your acceptance =)! You got a great attitude so no matter where you go i am sure you will work hard and do great!
Aww your dad seems sweet!!! By the way, congratulations and good luck in UT!
Your voice is so soothing!
Wow, I'm flattered! Haha thanks Amanda
F Harvard for not accepting you, you seem like such a nice and cool person! It’s their loss
I remember mine back in 2003. I got rejected with Harvard, Yale, UPenn, UCLA, Johns Hopkins, and Boston University, I got waitlisted with Dartmouth and Princeton and I was offered admission with NYU and University of Southern California. I ended up with Dartmouth College since I got a slot with their psychology program like few days before opening of class.
didn’t Harvard just get sued for not being fair in the admissions process for asian American applicants
great video! You were lucky to get into Rice, since I live in houston that was my dream school. I'll be a freshman at UT Austin too this fall! #UT22 Alsoo..you've got some great violin covers on your channel :O
Thank you Abigail! Glad you enjoy my videos :))
yay, I've been noticed! No problem, I subscribed too :)
I'm going to be a senior next year and I'm literally falling to pieces; my SAT scores aren't portraying my school grades and whatnot. I'm also extremely stressed about studying for AP Exams and looking for college scholarshipsss. Could you make a video or replyyy about what I should do? Thanks for reading this!
Hey Sofina, thanks for the comment. Hang in there! It may not seem like it at the present, but things will work out in the end :) I'd love to address your concerns in an upcoming video!! Keep a lookout for it!
Hi, as a senior who just went through the college process, I think maybe I can offer some advice. Study for the SAT, but don't make it your end-all be-all. Colleges care more that you took the hardest classes available and could handle the challenge. Do things you really care about in high school, don't just follow what you think colleges want. Let your uniqueness shine through. Your application won't click with some colleges and they'l reject you, but I promise there will be a college out there that is thrilled to have a student like you. Trust me, it only takes that 1 place. Also, visit places you're interested in if at all possible, and ask specific questions and ask to meet with professors from departments you're interested in. I didn't get into any ivies, but I got into Davidson College with a 1360 SAT and a 3.97 unweighted GPA, and I couldn't be more happy. Hang in there! ❤️
Ahh! Thanks a ton to the both of you. I'm going to grind after next Monday (after all my AP exams) for my SAT in June. Gahaha, i'm trying not to freak out. I have a really sad fall back school if I don't make it into my state school, so I'll deffo be okay!!!!
Good kid. Humble and mature.
congrats! you have such amazing choices!
thank you Samantha!! right back at ya--loved your video!
I’m a sophomore and I’ve gotten letters from princeton and Colombia as far as ivies go and from seeing ur other videos and ur really high test scores, u getting rejected from both has me kinda worried about my own success with those schools😅
I think what happened to you is that your grades and scores were probably amazing, but usually Ivies reject those who are super smart but don't have a lot of extracurricular activities and service hours. I'm not assuming that you didn't do anything outside of school, but for everyone else reading this and hoping to get into any good college, you gotta have more than just good grades.
(BTW, did you know that UT Austin rejects valedictorians almost every year? They want more than just a high GPA.)
Bro UT BHP is amazing you made the right choice! (I'm a first year med student at Dell so only a bit biased :D)
Sorry Anthony. You seem like a really nice kid. You'll do great at UT.
GO TO RICE OMG 60000 SCHOLAR ARE YOU KIDDIN ME
He's like... "not bad..." I don't think he realized how fortunate he is to get that XD
Would love a stats update! I subbed! (i'm sure you sis is happy that i did)
Stats?
Your dad is so encouraging
it's crazy how your college application process is completely different to the one in germany. Or like everything about it
Just a non american here, I recently came across this affirmative action stuff and what not and I was just wondering as someone who's recently gone through the college admission process, what do you think about this? Does it really exist?
wait actually. what with your stats half of these shouldve been easy acceptances
Daaaang you got accepted to swarthmore!! Wowowowowow congrats it’s a really hard school to get into
Why didnt you accept Rice University's offer?
I just want to say how crazy it is that there are students like you who work so hard and get crazy impossible perfect scores on standardized tests, who still get turned down from ivy leagues. Don’t EVEN worry about it! Ivy Leagues are set out to pick from the top 1% anyways, and NO IVY LEAGUE is on the Return of Investment list!
Congrats!!! Can you tell your SAT and GPA score and how many AP classes you have.
Hey Rose, thanks for the comment! Stats will be released in my next video :)
do you have any activities on the application?
I don’t get how you got rejected! You’re so smart! I know this bc I watched your stats video lol
How much are each of these applications?
congrats! you’re awesome :)
How amazing are you!!! Congrats👏👏👏
what are ur stats
What advice would you give to a freshman?
Wow congrats on Swarthmore! Why would you choose UT Austin over Swarthmore? It’s a good school but Swarthmore is a Little Ivy and top three Liberal Art College in the nation
Kelly Kim I think maybe bc UT is like in the top 5 business schools in the country or atleast that's what my professors are always saying about our school
I’m going into sophomore year and sorry if I sounds stupid but what is Early Action
Hey no worries, bud, I had no idea what it was I was a sophomore either! Early action is an option applicants can choose by submitting their application to a school around 2 months before applicants who are applying "regular decision" do. These early applicants get their decisions sometime around December, while regular applicants have to wait until April. The one caveat is that the early action option is usually restricted, meaning that students can't choose to apply early action to more than one school. Hope this helped!
which school did you end up choosing?
I'm feeling kinda hopeless applying to universities as an Asian student.
hahaha that "blessed" sticker though, CONGRATS!!
What’s your stats, bro?
If I get more comments like this, I’ll make a video with my stats and more info!!
Anthony Tang yes pls do!!
Yes make one!
Rukan Parves yes make one!
yeah make one 😊
UT IS THE MOVE! Hook’em #UT22
Heck yah, you know it brother!
4:50 "thats what i expected" LOLL
hey dude! could u talk about ur grade, GPA, and scores on the SAT or ACT?
what did you do to be able to go to these colleges? like sat score, grades extracurricular etc
hey Pius, thanks for the comment! I just uploaded a video over my scores and stats! Go check it out!! A video over my extracurriculars will be coming out soon as well :)
Congrats Bro, Stats?
What are you gonna major in? Music or like something else.
Nevermind, I watched the end of you video lol
Stats video plz!
it made me saad when he didnt get in to the ivy leauge
There is no way you should be 0 for 7 for Ivy League admissions with your scores. SMH. I like your work ethic seeking perfection on the SAT and ACT.
I'm really into your voice wow
Im choosing between Colgate, Brandeis, RPI, and Tulane. Which do I choose?
Hmm...it really depends on what you're looking for! What do you plan to major in?
Bianca Delbusto For sciences - Brandeis all the way. I’m a current student there. Message me if you want to know more.
What to people say about the midyear program
you are going to do great things!
Thank God I didn't plan on going or went to school in the US, my dad would not have been so supportive if I didn't get any Ivy.
I wonder why University of Texas when you could go to Rice. Rice is the ivy in Texas
I saw the video with your grades. Omg if those grades aren’t good for ivy I don’t know what is 🤯🤯🤯
Hey Anthony late congratulations idk if u can read this or not but this video motivated me wanna work so hard to get in the schools I like💀😂 thanks and I have some questions about all the college admissions especially for ut Austin btw 你是四川人嘛🤣
Dude I got waitlisted by Williams too :')
Lemme know how it goes Kevin!!
Aye! Bro, I will see u at UT then !
wait but isnt Rice in Ivy?
damn what a scholar god
Whats ur GPA/SAT/ACT?
wait, you went to lovejoy?
This was anti climactic. Wasn't as good of a candidate as I thought. Probably should have applied to third tier schools like Notre Dame and Michigan, etc.
Where are you from if you applied to UT?
I love your voice!!
