How to get into Yale, How I got into the Ivy League, Ivy League Stats and Grades - Фільми й анімація
![how i got into ivies [princeton, brown, duke, etc]!! stats, ecs, gpa, sat, honors 😩](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/M9TgE6olhx0/mqdefault.jpg)
I'm not even shooting for ivy but this video calmed my nerves, thank you so much. Watching other people's videos literally made me wanna cry like this one chick won some award and literally met trump and melania (lol im not rlly that jealous of her for that tho but the fact that she did that).
oh my goshh did u watch kaiti yoo haha
this is my dream and i make a promise that imma go to yale
you got this!!
Yeah! You got it!
i love the determination but don't make a promise to yourself. its always good to never set your heart to a specific college because we never know what can happen. if rejections happen, it can honestly very much hurt so keep Yale as ur dream school but explore other options as well! this way u can survive better in the whole application process.
I believe in you
good luck!
This made me so relieved because I get very insecure about my grades and scores because they don’t line up w averages of top schools. But seeing how you could do it makes me believe in myself that I can too! I’m currently a junior in high school so I’m like stacked w APs and studying for SAT and extracurriculars... kinda dying.
I wish you the best of luck for your college years!
Thank you!
This video gave me a lot of hope for college. I really love Yale and I have very similar stats to you so seeing this is very very refreshing!
This was by far one of the most inspirational college stats videos I've ever seen.
Thank you for sharing the information
you were so open and honest during this video, and it makes me feel better about small things that i was dreading. thank you so much :)
I loved the way you started your video. It's clear you are a very kind and good-hearted person. It shines through. Congratulations.
thank you for this. you really don’t understand how much this calmed me. i’ve been researching stats that got kids into yale (my dream school) for days and they all do crazy things like starting nonprofits or developing medical devices so it’s nice to see someone with comparable extracurriculars to me
Finally a good one !!! Yale is one of my biggest dream
you’re so pretty and i love this video! yale is my dream school, do you think you could maybe make a video reading your essays/supplements? :)
allison l just posted! If you’re interested in more similar content, it’d be awesome if you could support me and subscribe!
Valerie Nguyen ofc!! just subscribed to your channel, can’t wait to see more vids!! :)
literally thank u sm for this video-- I wish I could express how much this helped me
binging all your questbridge videos rn! ahh i just submitted my application this week, nervous to see if i become a finalist!!
this video really calmed me down...all these other videos ive been watching have outstanding students that went out of their way to make these amazing accomplishments that I know I just can't do. to realize that i dont need to be the most successful teenage girl in the world to get into a top college really helps relieve some of that stress ive been having :)
im just not sure how to get some awards to put on my application...
Wow honestly you motivated me to strive for more in education hopefully I’ll be in Yale in 2024!
QUEEN 👸🏻
my dream university is yale so this video was so helpful, also you’re so pretty!! 🥺
mekylovesbts thank you!
Mine too! I believe in both of us, soo see you there :)))
@@lacampanella6172 yess !! we will both get into yale fingers crossed 🤞🏽:D
You give me hope. I have a 33 act personally and everyone has been telling me I stand no chance at a T20 much less a T5 University. Thank you for this video
How did your college applications go??? Also, how did you get your act so high?? Currently, I have a 27…
Thank you for calming me down
My smart queen
you're so pretty 🥺
shiny jirachi thank you 🥺
@@valnnguyen you look like Mina from TWICE
I would really like to thank you. You really helped me a lot with this video.
I am watching a bunch of these videos on how to get into Yale, because my favorite author majored in English here. I've always wanted to become a creative writer/author and her writing is amazing. I want to learn what she did and create books, worlds, and characters as flawless as all of hers. I'm going into my JR year this year. I usually get all A's and one or two B's in school, but this summer I'm going to study all my classes beforehand and practice for the SAT/ACT tests. Wish me luck!
Omg wait are you talking about Leah Bardugo?
the way you get good at writing is by writing - not by taking an english degree
where did you end up?
Thank you!You're awesome, so detailed video!
Watching this the day before my Yale EA admissions decision 🥺
how’d it go :) ?
Thank you for your honesty
QUEEN
Areeba Mirza loveee 🙈🥺
Great video! Congratulations on being accepted to Yale.
Thank you, I’m aiming for yale to make my family proud
Do it for yourself!
@@kevonbaha7304 I’ve Now Realised That I Dont Have To Do It For Family, I Have Now Started Working My Way Up For Myself
Oh my gosh, I am so surprised by your determination!!! I’ve already lost count of the amount of times you’ve taken all of those exams meanwhile I’m beating myself up over my 1050 SAT score (which I have taken only once…)
I wish you all the best at Yale!!!
I just have one question tho, how do you exactly stay motivated?
Is it family pressure or is it a personal goal?
You're awesome. Thanks for sharing your video.
omg I just subbed to you! Yale is my dream school. Could you do a more detailed video on extracurriculars because my school as no clubs or extracurriculars so I don’t know really know what to do
It’s Casdriyal hey, you can dm me on ig and I can talk to you :) your situation is pretty unique so I don’t think anything i would hypothetically discuss in said video would be relevant to yoy
Valerie Nguyen alright! what’s your ig? 😓
It’s Casdriyal @valnnguyen :)
Valerie Nguyen Alright! I Dmed You On Ig!
hey! lowkey in same position and u just have to get super creative. honestly it’s good for you because the more creative you are the more likes AOs are gonna be like how did they do that(versus everyone knowing how you become prez of a club). look around for student run orgs or nonprofits outside of your school but still in your local area. reach out to profs and see if you can sit in on a class, use that relationship for a rec letter. published research, publish a book, apply for internship, etc. you got this!
Thank you soo much for this video~
Was very informativee! Btw did you send any music portfolio?
No, I think you only send if you’re applying for music major
I really want to go to Yale. Some random questions if that’s alright...
-Does your school reputation matter? (I go to a public school)
-How did you keep your grades good without cracking?
-Is a 4.0 gpa extremely important
-AP classes how do you spread it out so it’s not overwhelming?
-Essay topics? Or at least some ideas..
@@areenhashemi You are seriously awesome thank you so much!
@@areenhashemi Omg the ldr one really related to me🤣✋
Personally, a good essay topic is a combination of the prompts given.
Something that shows your identity, your background, your interests, your struggles, your beliefs. And most importantly, *How it affected you, how you overcome your struggles, show that you've invested a good amount of time and energy on something that you're passionate about.*
Did you get in?
Did Yale Young Global Scholars this summer I did dual enrollment for Junior year and now in Senior Year. I'm also taking AP Lit and AP Stats my senior year. Looking forward into getting into UPenn. Thanks for this amazing video
This video was so helpful! Were your extracurricular activities involvement from school or outside clubs?
In school!
Can you do a skin care routine? Your skin is amazing🤩
My dream college is harvard and I'm gonna do anything and work soon hard until I can't keep my eyes open at night bc if I have a dream I want to make it come true and I'm gonna make that one come true!!!!
I believe in you, you can do this!!
Thxx
Hey! Could you make a "Reading My Essays" video? Also, what do you think made you stand out in such a competitive applicant pool?
sunybunny aj check out my latest video! Also, I think it was my essays and personal life experiences that separated me from most applicants. My story is uniquely me and my own experiences can’t be replicated, which is why I decided to stray away from an academic-interests-oriented essay and focus more about who I am outside of school. Colleges already see your transcript and scores. Numbers can easily be ranked in comparison with other ppl, but your experiences are the only thing that set you apart from other strong applicants! Show them who you are outside of school; it’s much more valuable to schools to accept potential leaders and passionate people, not perfect robots! Of course, I’m not gonna lie: grades matter to a certain extent but once you’ve reached a certain “benchmark”, it’s all negligible, so don’t worry so much about the numbers!
Encouraginggggh
Omg exciting!! I hope you have a great time :) Also I have a question, did you apply with a major or did you apply undecided?
Alicia Yu thank you! I applied as neuroscience
Wait, quick question but what Major did you apply under? Amazing job btw!
Hey, this was really informative (and wish you luck for your journey).
Could you give me some advice as to how make the most of your extracurriculars this year?( As an International Student)
Jasmann Singh hey! How are the Covid restrictions in your country? Is everything online for you?
Yep.
Lots of competitions and debates were even cancelled if they were held by our government.
Jasmann Singh yeah i see. I think just try to do some research and find local opportunities! Google “extracurriculars during Covid” and I’m sure a bunch of ideas will come up. I can’t specifically speak to your interests, but I am sure there’s things out there!!
Yale is my dream school! I’m thinking about going test optional which is scaring me. I’m black at a private school. I have taken 4 aps so far and senior year am taking AP lit, physics 1, Calc bc, gov. Wish me luck. Any tips?
U so pretty!
Isabel Call ❤️❤️
Very nice video
Will you please make a video on your essays too... A humble request.. I'm so similar to you.. I wanna know if I can get into yale or not..
Rani Mandal posted! Good luck on your journey!
@@valnnguyen thank you
Hi I was wondering as another student who didn't get a super high score as other applicants, do you think it is better to submit the score or not submit it? Also did you submit it?
If you need help to get into college (admissions, scholarships etc) I recommend The College Counseling Specialist, based in Irvine CA
Hi! Congrats on Yale :) I hope i don’t discomfort you but did you apply for financial aid?
Dariya Z. No worries! Yes I did! I needed to hahaha
this video was very informative thank you!! But I wanted to ask that I am an international student and my 9th and 10th grades were really bad, would my low grades stop me getting into Ivy League?
Hi girl! Don’t let that stop u! No they won’t stop you. Top tier schools like to see improvement so as long as u improved throughout highschool, you’ll be okay. U got this and don’t give up
From vietnam w/ luv
Can you make a video of what we need on our applications? 🥺🥺
Yabbie Tuku hey! could you be a little more specific? If anything you want your application to be unique so there truly isn’t any specific thing you NEED on your application
Sorry, I meant if you had any tips you had for it!
@@valnnguyen Anything I can do that will make it standout!
Hello! Thank you for this video!
Did you turn in your SAT or your ACT score to Yale? And did you turn in all your AP scores to Yale?
Hayeon Lee hey hayeon! I applied through questbridge and they require us to submit every single test score 😬😬😬
Hey! Did you apply to Yale REA or RD? I'm curious if I should apply REA since Yale is my DREAM school! Congratulations on your acceptance!
Hey Annika! I applied early through QuestBridge. If you feel like you are a competitive applicant, I would definitely recommend applying early. If you are a senior applying this year, it’s important to know that a lot of the incoming freshmen decided to take a gap year and deferred their enrollment until next year, meaning that now they are class of 2025. So now there are less available seats in the class of 2025. Best wishes to you!! ❤️
Valerie Nguyen hi actually there was an article saying that it won’t affect class of 2025 yaledailynews.com/blog/2020/09/01/class-of-2024-sees-redcord-number-of-gap-years-most-diverse-class/ :)
Thanks for sharing! I forgot to update this as I also received an email from yale specifically addressing this :))
Hello! Congratulations. Did you get into Yale from the NCM with quest bridge?
Yes!
We live in the same county (lol i go to North Gwinnett) but even tho I'm a freshman , i am so nervous because my school is so competitive and has some many people lmao
You’ll be okay!! Good luck! My school was also very big hahah
Hello! my transition from 8th to 9th grade was taugh, I wasn't suppose be to in ESL class in 8th grade but the school put me in that class because there no seats in regular classes, so it didn't prepared me for high school sicne ESL classes were much easier than regular class, it did affetc my 9th grade grades, since there's a big difference in ESL classes and honor classes, I took honor classes in 9th grade. Should I explain that to colleges and they'll understand? Does it count as an extenuating circumstance? Thank you!!
hey! this is just my opinion, but while you could tell colleges that, it doesn't show why you should be accepted to their college. if you're able to recover from this and get your grades to where you want them to be, that'll show them that you're up for a challenge and won't let little things like this hinder your overall performance. plus, i think they'd like to see improvement throughout your years so if you're able to do even better soph and junior year that'll help :) just what i think though
i needed a new job which i was asked to bring my high school diploma and transcript which got me stressed out until i got mine from someone my sister told about and thats DEELSCAFE💯..
was your high school top 50 in the state or top 300 in america? Because i want to know if that's important.
n d Nope-neither. My school is below top 50 in the state and below rank 2000th in america. I don’t think that it is important :)
i live in small country we dont have opportunity take a lot of ap classes or ib what should i do
Do you think yale will accept asl? Im on my first yr of asl (sophomore yr).
Ariel Kellum I don’t see why not, but maybe you can reach out to an admission officer and see what they think! My guess would be that it’s not a problem, but you can always double check!
i had the same test scores except the sat one my highest score was a 1460
I feel like I could have earned some awards, but my school doesn’t offer more than Honor Roll. Could I still get in?
there are lots of opportunities to get awards outside of school stuff like extracurriculars or regional competitions u can find online :-)
7:43 awee same
Did you report your act and sat scores?
Did you submit your test scores?
Hey! Yale is my dream school and I was hoping to know how to get into extracurriculars and how you decided which ones you were going to do?
Shreya Prasad only choose a few ECs you are *passionate* about and go at them HARD. Don’t be minimally involved in a bunch of clubs. Be a very active member/officer in a handful. I only joined clubs that I was interested in. And I also didn’t join multiple clubs that served the same purpose (for instance, I didn’t join 4 volunteer-focused service clubs)
Shreya Prasad good luck! You’ve got this :))
Shreya Prasad good luck! You’ve got this :))
Valerie Nguyen Thank you so much! That means more to me than you could know! :) I’ll be sure to keep your advice in mind.
Hello valerie,May I have your attention to get the corresponce addrs of Yale university concerning admission.
hi im tennis player i worked in hospital and pharmacy( as a volunteer) i join lösev( an organization that helps children with leukemia)and im in the club of young people, we do different activities every week.btw i’m international student is it enough extracurriculars to get into Yale or ivy league? what do you think also i want to be a pre med student btw you so cute!!!🥺🥺
That should be plenty! Don’t worry too much about the quantity of your ECs. Quality > quantity
Valerie Nguyen thank you so much for your help i thought im just doing something about health maybe they want to see different stuff btw i don’t have awards is it problem? in my high school they don’t care ap classes and i took by paying money i hope they care this
Did ur school offer honors chem? Wat is your major in? If it’s stem, then I have a question: am I doomed if I didn’t take honors chem in 10th when offered.
Your not doomed but try to take AP Chem and do good in it to make up for not taking honers chem when given the opportunity
Essay please!
Pei Jack posted!
if you have a high gpa and top 5 in your class, but an F on a transcript due to serious circumstances could you get into yale?
Yep! Just be sure to thoroughly explain those circumstances in the additional info section.
How does college calculate unweighted gpa?
can you make a video on how you study?
Marisa make sure you subscribe because I will be making one when I start school soon 🙈🙈
What major did you apply as?
Hi! What major are you in?
We don’t declare until the end of fall sophomore year, but I’m thinking neuroscience or cognitive science!
I have a 29 ACT and I will get rejected as quick as lightning. English 35 math 30, science 26 and reading 25 they not looking for that
Did you send your application as test optional?
I applied in 2019, so test optional was not something that existed haha
@@valnnguyen thanks! Your video really helps while im writing the app for Yale. Hopefully I can see you at the campus:)
How was ur uw gpa a 4.0 if you got a b?
High school GPA was 4.0! I also stated my college GPA (the GPA colleges may calculate) was about 3.96. high school GPA accounts for the additional 10 points of AP classes. So even though raw my grade in AP Calc was an 80, the +10 points turned it into a 90, which is still an A :)
In other words, HS GPA is weighted and in Georgia, the unweighted GPA is called the HOPE gpa.
@@valnnguyen oh okay thanks:)
You are way way beautiful ☜☆☞
Are you Vietnamese 😍😍😍
Can you please help me write a personal statement?
Khadijah _ hey! Dm me @valnnguyen on ig :) If you share one with me on google docs I can look over it and give you a few pointers (but trust me I’m not an expert)
Valerie Nguyen girl you got into Yale 😍😍
For me you are an expert
I got a C and I’m a freshman
Kinda screwed
Oh well ;-;
How did she have a 4 unweighted GPA if she had 3 Bs?
Hi! AP classes added 10 points to our grade
@@valnnguyen but isnt that only the case for weighted. Like in unweighted isnt everything weighed the same.
@@gunnerklith5840 Yeahh i put down two unweighted gpa’s. I think every college has its own way of calculating GPA and weighing AP classes, but my unweighted HOPE GPA (by Georgia state standards) was 3.956 and my hs gpa unweighted was 4.0. I’m not sure what exactly went into this calculation, but I just took it as given since it was on my transcript. Perhaps it counted my grades with the extra 10 pts up to a 4.0 or 100 as a limit. I wouldn’t say I cared that much about my GPA in HS so I was not concerned with figuring out exactly how things were calculated.
No way im heading to a sjw ivy league school lol
Hi Tom! May I ask what do you mean?
