  • a documentation of my overthinking and panic on the day i received my dream college decision. this video is much more a diary of all my thoughts on the day than a vlog, hope this helps !
    for everybody who is waiting to hear back from schools, bless you, i know how you feel. it sucks. a lot. BUT! i am very pleased with how everything is turning out.
    idk why but i can't really think of anything to say, i talked a lot on the video so i don't feel there is much more to say, haha.
    thank you for being with me throughout this whole journey! i love you all endlessly~
    see you in a few days!

    okay but Conan Gray is a boy who just wants to live in California and loves honey and hand writes letters and buys presents to give to his friends and takes care of little succulents and paints and draws and hangs his life on his walls and sits in little cafes to work on essays and has the fluffiness bounciest hair in the entire world and dresses like an adorable grandfather and writes beautiful music and sings into water bottles and takes pictures with flowers and loves his fans and watches the sunsets and stars and just wants to record his life to look back on

    I didn't get accepted to any college my senior year of high school and was obviously really sad about it, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I ended up going to community college for two years before transferring to a university. During those two years I had the time to grow both mentally and academically and learn more about myself and was way more prepared for the stresses of college life than I would've been had I gone straight out of high school. Most importantly, I saved a shit ton of money (2 years worth of tuition!!!) by going to community college first. I am currently a senior at UC Berkeley who is about to graduate in a little over a month. I hope you get off the waitlist, but I also want you know that there are different paths to reach your goal if one is blocked.

      Reanee Chua its a non residential college, so you live at home. if offers a lot of general courses which is great because you can get stuff like english 101 and math out of the way. its a good choice for your first 2 years of school, and it allows you to actually experiment with different careers. all credits are transferable to other school, and tuition is cheaper. like , $5,000 a year usually.

    You're right Conan. It's okay to feel sad and throw yourself a pity party. It's okay to be angry over things you can't control. It's okay to be nervous. It's not okay to bottle up your emotions. I love how you continue to have a positive outlook!

    PLEASE READ IMPORTANT
    Please read this ... as a 21 year old that 4 years ago had delt with the same issues with my own hard ass school to get into I have some advice for how you can STILL get into your school.
    This will sound bizarre but hear me out ... HARRASS them ... not like literally tho lol. Call up the admissions office tell them you're very excited to be on the waitlist and are ready to prove yourself to show your a fit for the school. Tell them the work you are doing now that you haven't started to slack bc you're graduating . Email your potential school dean and tell them how excited you are to be a potential student what classes you wanna take. professors LOVE their ego stroked talk about their own accolades and how they inspire you for your own future career.
    Conan, as a peaceful person myself I love your calming personallity but this isn't the time for pacifism. You gotta STAND OUT from your peers make the admissions office know your name. when it comes to big popular schools like ucla... its survival of the fittest honey. Most waitlist kids are gonna sit back and go 'wtvr if I get in I get in I guess' DO NOT DO THIS . That's how I got into my bougie school and my friend as well.
    Either way Conan... I'm very excited to see your potential grow from this moment in time because it really is a character building moment and trust and beileive ... this is a blip in time I remember being 18 like it was 1836394917 years ago you'll change so much as you trasition into adulthood and I am very excited for you
    keep up the excellent work 💋

    • @meowjcc
      @meowjcc 7 років тому

      Jaran Reid I'm not sure I agree with this... yes, it is important to show all of that interest for smaller schools that really care about community, but for a huge state school for ucla it likely won't do much. Beyond letters of continued interest and such, ucla is just too big with too many applications and not enough space to do much about it.

  • @TheHollycopter
    @TheHollycopter 7 років тому +238

    Found this online, don't know if it helps: Contact the admission office to find out if the college ranks wait-listed students or if it has a priority list. Most are willing to let you know your status. The higher you rank on the list the better your chances of being accepted.

    Ya'll Senior Year is really wild and confusing and hard. You feel like your in a tunnel all of high school and then Senior Year you finally get to see the light at the end of that tunnel. Then it's all rushing towards you and you don't feel ready or prepared for what's out there at all. But you keep moving forward because it's impossible to stop whats coming. You work with your anxiety and focus on harnessing it so that when you leave the tunnel you can feel at least a little more confident that everything will work out in it's own way. Always keep in mind that life never works out the way you expect it to, but that doesn't mean it doesn't work out. Mad love and respect our there for everyone who's growing up and trying to find their space in this world.

    Hey kid just want to tell you that a few years ago I got wait listed at DARTMOUTH of all places....and then later got in! You got this. It CAN happen. As a former waitlistee AND college counselor, here's some advice: Don't just wait around, be active. Contact the dean of whatever college you'd be put in, try to set up a meeting with faculty you like, get in touch with department heads. Talk to your HS counselor and teachers and ask them what you can do and ask them to send additional recommendations. Ask around if they know any faculty at the college. (This will go farther than anything else!) Put together additional portfolio materials and get them in front of faculty eyeballs. Be ruthless, but polite! You got this!

    hey conan! i commented on your AP art portfolio video, it was the first one i'd seen of yours and i've continued watching since. i just wanted to tell you, you have a great outlook on this. i'll be 27 this year, meaning all of the stuff you're going through happened to me 9-10 years ago but i remember it so clearly. i ended up going to a small local school that no one in my town wanted to go to because it was "too close" and they thought it was a bad school. they had a great art program and they gave me a full scholarship and, seeing as it was the only school i applied to, i obviously accepted and went. turned out to be the greatest few years of my life. i got to study abroad in china and italy with the money i saved on tuition since i had the scholarship, and i found an internship through the school that eventually sent me to india for a few weeks to work on a documentary film about an artist i worked closely with for the internship (she is indian but living in the states). i was recognized with the faculty because i worked hard curating student shows, was the president of the Student Art Association, etc. They picked me for faculty awarded grants and always called me up first for opportunities because they knew i could commit to something and see it through. i kept up my connections and decided i wanted to study painting in china, and now i'm here in china getting my MFA on another full scholarship because of my hard work and the people who could vouch for me. and you know what happened? when i was still an undergrad, SO many people i had graduated high school with and who had looked down on me for going to the local university ended up at that same school with me after transferring out of wherever they had gone. for some of them they missed being home, others couldn't afford the tuitions of their big schools, and still others finally saw that their big, dream, party school wasn't all it was cracked up to be. an education is an education, and you get out what YOU put in. no matter where you go, you will do great and make great memories and opportunities for yourself because that's who you are. that's who i am, too. like i said, you have a great outlook but if you have any doubts, just know that you WILL do so well, and everyone will be so proud of you. i don't even know you and i'm proud of you! a few months from now when you're settled in to your next step in your education, this won't be a big deal anymore. life happens THAT fast.

      nihaokaili Thank you so much for this, you have no idea how much that just helped me. I live in the Caribbean, and I've always wanted to go to America to study, but it's around twice as expensive for foreign students, and while I got admitted in every university, I didn't get a scholarship.. I've been in a rocky boat to choose between an expensive dream university in America, or a more affordable education in the Netherlands, near my family. I have to make my decision, and seeing your story, of your efforts and experience gives me a bit of confidence that I'm making the right decision by going to the Netherlands, they've got a great international program, with lots of exchange opportunities, so thank you for sharing, it really is up to me what I get out of it :)

    • @kaliwallaceart
      @kaliwallaceart 7 років тому +5

      you're welcome! and congratulations on your acceptances, that's awesome! but yeah, when all else fails, go with your gut. i think you'd be making the right decision to go to the netherlands, too. if you work hard and make sure to make and maintain connections (make yourself memorable) with faculty, they can help you make any dreams you have come true. let people see how hard you're willing to work and that you're passionate and they'll remember it. they'll think of you when opportunities arise, and they'll be much more willing to help when you ask for guidance. my connections brought me to china on a full scholarship awarded by the chinese government, so maybe you can see if there are any scholarships you can apply for once you're in school in the netherlands to study abroad in america for a semester or a year if you still really want to do that. if nothing else, remember that you're not stuck. if you get yourself into something you don't like, you can transfer. what you're worried about now is not a decision you have to make and stick with forever and ever :) make the choice that makes the most sense now and take it day by day.

You are so awesome and such a strong person, it is SO difficult to wait for those responses- I was a literal ball of stress for three days before I got my response to my top choice (Boston University's Fine Arts program) and I have to tell you I am so impressed with your control of emotion. It was so hard for me, and I was a complete mess, so seeing you hold it together so well and be so brave to post these emotional moments here on UA-cam for all of us to see... You truly are a role model, and the way you wear your heart on your sleeve is such an admirable and honest quality. We're all keeping our fingers crossed for you Cone :)

      Manon Michel Not meaning to pry but did you get into BU? If so congrats I felt the same way when I got my decision! (I got rejected)If not I hope you attend the perfect school for you! Either way enjoy the rest of your senior year I know I'm trying to.

    it's not the end of the world if you don't get into your dream school because there will be other opportunities waiting for you. being at your dream school doesn't mean you will have a great experience... i got into one of the top unis around and i wasnt happy there either. everything you imagine now is just an ideal but you don't know what the reality will look like anyway. just keep in your mind that everything will be ok no matter what school you go to :)

    i felt kinda anxious watching this bc it gave me flashbacks to my senior year and waiting for uni acceptances. it was such a stressful time for me, but it was def the year i learned so much about myself (just like you've shown throughout this vid).
    that being said, to all the 2017 seniors like conan: you might not have gotten into your first choice, or any choice, or maybe even decided that uni/college wasn't really for you right now or forever... and that is okay. it'll all work out; it always does and i know that for certain. so don't stress out too much, you ray of sunshine. take a few breaths and think about every other bit of this radiating life you have. there's so much more to this moment. take care, you

  • @annc6152
    @annc6152 7 років тому +12

    its ok to be waitlisted by ucla, it's the most applied school in the nation, even the people that eventually get into harvard applied to ucla, so they must have their priorities, the pool of applicants for ucla is extremely tough, the fact that you've been waitlisted is amazing, it means that they've given you careful consideration and really liked you. but in the end even if you don't get in, know that it's ok, college doesn't define who you are or who you will be in the future, maybe not going there means that it's just not for you. no matter where you end up, it's going to be the perfect plan

    This video bought me back to the first time I applied to college. It was the most nervewracking couple of months of my life! Just know, anything you are given has been put there for a reason. No matter where you end up going, know that it will always be an opportunity to learn and grow. I didn't even end up staying at the first college I applied to, I was forced to transfer my senior year due to financial issues. I'm now back home, finishing off my senior year, and still so grateful at the opportunities I was given. I grew so much as a human being, and I wouldn't have traded those life lessons for anything. You got this Conan!! I strongly believe the Universe is just waiting to present you with so many opportunities!!

  • @lizzy9702
    @lizzy9702 7 років тому +6

    When I came out of school I applied to so many Universitys (I'm from germany) and I got waitlisted or even rejected almost everywhere. I was so sad thinking I wasn't good enough even thought I gave my best. And then I got off the waitlists like a week befor the classes started and was accepted at so many Schools, but my dream school rejected me. I'm now studying for almost four years at another university that I got accepted into and I couldn't be happier. I fit in here so well and being rejected from my dream school was honestly the best that could have happen to me. I know that in the moment you find out it is frustrating but there are other school that are nice, too. I hope that you don't have to wait too long and I wish you will get off that waitlist and be accepted, you worked so hard!

    I'm currently in my first year of university - 2 weeks in.
    I can totally relate to this video and the stressfulness while waiting.
    In Australia we take a huge exam when we graduate high school, and whatever mark you get pretty much determines whether you can get into the course in a uni or not.
    - mine was... pretty awful... and the waiting for offers from universities was rather stressful.
    i, luckily, had enough bonus points to get me into the course and the uni i wanted to study in.
    But there are like tons of pathways - like conan said - gap year, tafe, diploma courses (many people go for diploma/insearch), study in a uni then transfer in second year. like there are sooo many waysss. no need to worry too much.
    also, just want to say, there's no rush. it's never too late for education, take your time. And university of course isn't the only source of education.
    Good luck people!

    thank you Conan for sharing your experience, especially when you said that we will all find our place and asked us about our plans... I must admit that I got a little teary eyed.
    Truth is... I seriously don't have any plans on what I could do after school. I'm in my last year now and I just kind of aimlessly walk around with no sense of what to do, how to feel, how to think, how to be, how to... I don't know. Everything seems so distant and unreal.
    Maybe I should take a gap year, but even that decision makes me feel unsure.
    Our System here in germany is a bit different from yours, universities are mostly free and you don't really apply for them with tons of essays like you did, Conan. I admire all your hard work and effort, it really keeps me going. I can also 100% relate to your situation of leaving high school, your song idle town really reminds me of my own little town I live in.
    Anyways, these were just some thoughts and I'm sorry to all native english speakers for any mistakes I made :D

    about a year ago, I got into a very good school quite far away from where I live. I just couldn't go because the fees were too much. I had to go to my local public school and I have been there to this day. its not the best, but I have made some close friends and my classes are ok. but I got my grades today and they weren't as good as last semester. I realise now from this video that no matter what school you go to, you are lucky to be there and therefore you have to make the most of it. next semester, I am going to try my hardest and make the most of high school, and I encourage anyone here too as well.

Like I was so anxious and worried and angry but at the same time I was also really excited so DON'T LOSE HOPE!! I'm really happy to say that I was accepted off of the waitlist and I am now attending the school I've always wanted to go to, so again, don't lose hope!! Everything will turn out alright and you will do amazing wherever you go ❤
