You should mention that despite extra-curriculars don't play any vital role to admission on canadian universities but have a great impact when considering for scholarships like leaster b.pearson. All in a nutshell, you can got into canadian universities without better ECA's but can't get scholarships without ECA's.
In Nigeria our courses are taken a little bit differently. We take subjects rather. So I'm a bit confused in filling the course section in the common app?
Even if you don't apply to Ivy's and other schools ,but in US there are also so many good schools in US and they are also too good like Ivy ....And then afterwards you can take admission for Masters at Ivy also. ..By the way yo do such a good work to appreciate others with your experience 👍🏻👍🏻 ..Bhaiya can you apply for it next year ...Do you have good chance and you will get in good University
Thanks a lot !! I agree with your point but (mostly) only top universities offer 100% scholarships to international students and that's why I applied to them. I am thinking to apply this year as well, let's see how it turns out.
Hi zohair, It just happened to watch your video and it was quite knowledgeable, hope you carry this work nicely. If I get your assistance as"no one told me also " 😂 about ivy league and their requirements before so I could have done something more in this time rather doing only researching now. Iam in 12th class now going to appear for boards in Dec And I badly want to get into ivy hope u can suggest me some headings in which I should focus most to make my profile extraordinary
Good that you reached out 😁 I would suggest you to FOCUS yourself and start writing your essays for top universities, if you haven't started them. 1. Make sure you've registered on the Common App. 2. Filled all the basic details. 3. Started contacting your teachers and counselor for LOR (letter of recommendation). 4. If you're applying for financial aid, you'll need to fill the CSS Profile. 5. For some universities, you'll need to submit your financial documents through IDOC. My best tip right now would be to reflect upon your high school years and write compelling essays, they would definitely help you shine and get into Ivies. Thanks, I hope this helps.
Hello, I plan to apply for a cs course in some of the canadian universities. What coding languagues do you think I need to be familiar with? I know a bit of python, is that enough?
I think they'd be more interested in whether you had math in your senior year of high school. Yes, having coding knowledge or taking cs courses in high school does help, but they look at your high school subjects esp maths, physics and chemistry and your performance in them.
Hello brother, actually I am in 12 grade and I haven't started anything yet! I was just researching and missed everything. Will it worth it for me to apply next year with full preparation?
Could you Please help us on how to submit non-school teachers LORs on common app I would be extremely thankful to you Moreover, due to lockdown my school teachers do not anything about me
i wanted to ask is it compulsory to have a SAT certificate ...bcoz one of my friend ..she got into new york university without ielts and SAT ? .. do all universities will ask for SAT certificate ? if not can u tell which all universities do not require SAT
Zohair may I request you to give is detail about SAT...for this year(2022). In regard of prep, when to apply, taking consideration of a current 12 the students and passed out.
Dude I really appreciate your efforts and love your videos, even my situation is very similar to you in 2021 can I please have a way contact you because I’ve got no one to assist me, it would be a pleasure to have your contact for any questions ❤❤❤❤
Sir plz tell me if I am in 12th & my boards are in March do I need to apply for U of Toronto now ? Plz clear this doubts plz sir bcoz I don't have my 12th marks sheet? Plz tell me can I apply without my final grades?
Yes, if you win national or international Olympiads. They will definitely help a lot. I know a lot of students with national Olympiads getting into top universities.
Hey bro, I had a question. All these top US unis have around $75-80 application fees, how are we supposed to afford that if we're applying to 10+ unis, that will be like $800-1,000 for applications only. I mean how did you afford to pay all those application fees? Is there any way or trick to pay less or not pay at all?
Great Question !! I did not pay the application fee of a single university I applied to, thanks to the common app fee waiver where if you can't afford to pay the application fee and meet some of their requirements, Common App covers the application fee. Check this link for more details appsupport.commonapp.org/applicantsupport/s/article/What-do-I-need-to-know-about-the-Common-App-fee-waiver
@@ZohairAnsari Oh, if that's the case, I'll try to do that too, thanks for your response! Also bro, did you do the SAT exam? If yes, did you get the SAT fee waiver? I checked how to do that, but I'm not sure who I should consult with, for the fee waiver.
Yea, I did take the SAT but there weren't any fee waivers back then. Now, you can get fee waiver for SAT is you belong to a low income family. Check this out for more details international.collegeboard.org/students/sat/india-scholars-program
Bro Iam right now in class 12 and I have just watched this video it's already January and I still didn't apply to single college but I have received a CSS profile fee waiver from Cornell University.What must I do next apply for CSS ?
Hi brother, I have a question regarding uoft application, there's a section of upload documents which is asking for status in Canada like passport.. is it compulsory to fill it now or I can do that after my admission decisions? Also thank you so much for making such helpful videos for us, keep growing bro!!
Hi Bro ! Very crisp and clear video. I just wanted to know why did you applied to just one University in Canada. Why not you applied to University of waterloo. Is that not good. I am planning to apply UofT, Waterloo and Ubc also.
Hey Mate, thanks for your comment. I applied to U of T as it offers the Lester B. Pearson scholarship whereas Uwaterloo doesn't offer any full scholarship to international students. Though UBC also offers full scholarship, I didn't feel like applying there.
@@ZohairAnsari Please tell, do we need to be in same school for all 4 years of High school or just 2 years or just 1 years. I mean what if I change school in 12th ?
I don't know if you can do that, but you can/ should start preparing for your college application in grade 11th and once the common app opens their application for your grade 12th year, complete the application and submit.
Sir, I want to get admitted to MIT but I have not spent time in extra curricular activities related to science and technology because I didn't know this in high school. Please reply sir. What can I start? I am applying for 2023.

I am from Nepal so very few actually apply to MIT nuclear engineering, do I have chance because of this?

Exactly !
Just pinned your comment 👍
But what if you don't have extra curricular activities
The fact that you have such a unique capability of self-reflection is a proof of how broken the college admission process is
Bro u haven't seen Indian college admission process
it's way worse

Most US Universities are test optional with the SAT (they don't require it) but it's good to have a strong SAT score on your profile.
And here I am... person who needs to write essays for 20 universities 👉👉

Yes it is mandatory for you to fill out the "status in Canada" question and provide your passport details.
can graduate student apply through common app ? For Masters degree ?
Unfortunately, Common App is only used to apply for undergrad programs.
Your video was very helpful. My son is trying this year I am going to share your vedio to him
Glad it was helpful!
Do you need letter of recommendation for each University you are applying to in the common app ?
Nope, you can send one LOR to multiple Unis.

I don't think you'll have any issues changing schools if you know why you are changing it and you have all the necessary transcripts from each school.
How do you calculate your gpa, if your school doesn't do it ?
Don't put anything in the GPA section if your school doesn't do it.
Le me : starting my application process 18 days before deadline
You Got This😂
can I apply to some colleges and universities as early as 11th grade
I don't know if you can do that, but you can/ should start preparing for your college application in grade 11th and once the common app opens their application for your grade 12th year, complete the application and submit.
