Micheal, I'm a brown legacy from a san diego schedule 1 school, but Ive really only done robotics for 4 years, other ECs like sailing or tennis I left because I really just didnt fit in, is there any way to try and avoid EC's perhaps?
Do you think you absolutely need to do a sport to get into an Ivy League? I’m not the sportiest person and despise sports is there any way I can substitute sports for an art or music activity in which I go above and beyond?
I don’t think it’s necessary. I listed it as an activity because I did it for so long, but I would not think they took my sport participation into great consideration
@@michaelisonyoutube thank you so much for replying! I’ll definitely try to take sports but it’s good to know it’s not something so important to get in
@@LMX_Edits I'll also chime in as someone who got into Brown for RD this year. I did like no sports at all and I got in lol, so sports aren't that important as long as you have other activities that make up for it!
Nice video! A lot of my extracurriculars and awards revolve around performing arts, yet I want to pursue engineering in the future, not performing arts. As a rising junior, do you think my "spike" will play a pivotal role in applications as I start building my resume around the engineering field this late?
I’m not sure, talk to an advisor!
Hey I can relate. Most of my extracurriculars are in the creative writing field yet I wanna pursue engineering so I am kinda worried about it .
I am starting my senior year in August so i guess I'll apply for a science/tech related internship over the summer
Wait I thought the awards are for ACADEMIC awards
From what I am reading "academic" is used loosely in this context, and it seemed to work out fine for me!
@@michaelisonyoutube ok, do u think it matters if I put my music awards in add info or in honors section?
Thanks for the video! My dream school is either Brown or Cornell but my gpa is pretty low (3.8) :(
Of course! Always apply even if you think your chances are low, GPA is not the only factor they look at
International student who isn't familiar with GPAs but isn't a 3.8 pretty high?
@@yankmyassfor sure! but low for ivy leagues. most ppl who get in are 4.20+
@@elijah-yv6sj wait don't GPAs max out at 4??
@@yankmyass thats if the gpa is unweighted. Weighted gpas can exceed 4, but if youre international and dont have weighted gpas you’ll be fine
Great video! Thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
That’s mind-blowing! How could you even manage to study for that many APs?!
Thank you! I mainly planned ahead, and I go more into detail on how I did it in this video: ua-cam.com/video/ukxsEXXo03w/v-deo.html
I have a question. Why did you take that many aps senior year? I can't even imagine doing 8.
I saw it as a challenge! Looking back 8 was definitely a lot, and I probably would have not taken 1 or 2 so I could have a lunch break, but they are not that difficult depending on the class. I only ended up taking 4 of those 8 AP exams, and in hindsight, taking more than 4 exams would have been very challenging.
@@michaelisonyoutube I want to get into an Ivy League college for medschool but my school does not allow for someone to take nearly that many aps. I can take a maximum of 2 junior year and another 5-6 senior. I am a freshman right now.
@@yeetyeet4479 there may be exceptions if you ask your guidance counselor. If not, it shouldn’t matter since I believe universities compare students against those attending the same high school and then locally, etc.
Just do your best to excel and achieve outside of academics!

Just made a video about this! It’s linked here:

A 5 on physics? Wtf
Bro exactly ima be taking it as a sophomore next year I just hope for a 3-4
@@kcrish1106 a sophomore?? Bruh I’m a senior and I take that class and I’m getting a 0 on that Ap this Thursday 😂
@@malvi616 I find physics cooler than chemistry but I sure am scared for the class, I hope I do well
@@malvi616 also, good luck on your exam
@@kcrish1106 good luck to you, see me personally I got into physics cause of the flash if I’m being totally honest. I’m not one of those students bright in math tbh so I’m a different scenario but hey man I believe in you
Thanks for watching! What's your dream school?
