    Congrats! I am very impressed with your mature decision to take the full ride instead of an Ivy. Nothing sets you up life better than entering adulthood without debt.

      Was thinking the same thing. People throw themselves into Ivies and not really considering debt free life after another great school.

    Congrats, as someone who had tons of grad school loan debt, you made a great decision! Some people get too lured by the big names to think clearly. Not that Duke is anything to scoff at. Many students would kill to get there and you got a full ride and a very challenging field. I am a graduate of UIUC engineering and proud to see a charismatic and smart woman go into an engineering major.

    Anika, Congrats for all of your accomplishments and the video, it is inspiring to all the kids.....I had a question, I am guessing you had applied for an EA to your most wanted college? Isn't it? If yes, then you had to pull out all of your other applications...How come you waited till the end to record all the reactions?

    • @TheAnikaSuman
      @TheAnikaSuman  10 місяців тому +3

      Hi, this is such a great question! I myself was confused by this for a while, but essentially Early Decision (ED) and Early Action (EA) are two different options. Early Action doesn't bind you to that school, it simply allows you to hear back earlier in the application season. Early Decision binds you to the particular school and requires that you pull out of your other applications, but it typically has a higher acceptance rate as a benefit. I ended up applying EA to a lot of schools and decided not to do an ED. Hope that clears it up!
