    for the short essays, would you recommend that they relate to your desired major? or can it just, for example, be any situation that exited you to learn?

    • @ohnoirpodcast
      @ohnoirpodcast  4 роки тому +12

      I think for the short essays you should really stick with something you genuinely feel excited to write about, whether that be your intended major or an extracurricular or a passion of yours :D Don't make it to hard on yourself and write about something that comes naturally!

    • @ohnoirpodcast
      @ohnoirpodcast  4 роки тому +8

      I think there isn't exactly a particular "Asian" stereotype (unless maybe you're referring to the model minority concept?), but in general there are a lot of applicants that are similar (in terms of grades, stats, ECs, etc). I'm going to make a video about how to stand out soon :D

    • @ohnoirpodcast
      @ohnoirpodcast  4 роки тому +1

      Early restrictive action means that you're applying to Stanford only early, not any other private schools early (by nov 1st), and regular is later on, its a larger applicant pool
