I want to thank you so much for this video! I was deferred from Columbia in December. I researched online for local alumni and emailed one. He responded and even agreed to have coffee with me and eventually even wrote me a rec letter. I talked about the convo in my letter of continued interest and I was accepted RD ! I will never know what got me in, but this video helped me soo much when crafting a unique letter :) Keep doing what you’re doing !!
hey greg! i just wanted to personally thank you for making this video. i was deferred from penn in december, and was feeling pretty lost on what to do next and how to stand out in the tens of thousands applicants that were applying regular decision. i managed to click on your video and decided to take your advice on accentuating the conversations i had had with penn professors and the fact that i had reached out to some of the graduate students on campus. proud to say that im gonna be a quaker in the fall! i really couldn't have done it without this content. :)
@@nemiokwuosa8307 hi! i know it’s 2 years later, but i just got deferred from penn wharton as well. i have to write my letter, but do you mind updating me on whether you attend wharton now?
So helpful! This is basically a way for Princeton to screen for whoever is related to a professor there or anyone with elite connections. You don't have a snowball's chance in hell at being given a fair shake until all of the kids who are related to the university, talented or not are admitted.
Please make videos on ur routine life at Princeton. A day in life of kinda videos. Some tips on how you study at Princeton? Effective study tips? How you make connections with teachers? How you maintain grades at Princeton? How you balance social life and acaedemic pressures of Prinston?
Continue to do the work that you are doing.. It is helping a lot of people. Try to add more college video, and Princeton video or maybe a chat with professors and deans
Hey Greg, Fantastic channel! So glad I discovered this! I had a quick question- I heard you mention that your grades dropped senior year. How bad was it? I'm asking because so did mine (I have the worst case of senioritis!), and I'm worried my first semester's 1B and 1C will be a red flag to all the colleges I'm applying to. What are your thoughts on that? Thanks!
Sorry about that! I try to make my videos accessible for everyone. You can probably find the contact information for your college’s admissions office online, you don’t need a guidance counselor all that much. Hope this helps!
Our local high school offers math courses at Princeton. Maybe I'll see you there! (Except I'm only in eighth grade right now, so that will have to wait XD)
I'm deferred from Harvard REA. I don't know what I should do. I'm so scared to because Harvard is hard, and I'm not convinced that I'm good enough for Harvard but I'm deferred. That means they are interested, and I'm still have a chance to become a student of the best University. Guys, please, help me !!!
+GregSmith I got deferred from Columbia and I found this video extremely helpful - thank you so so much! I was just wondering whether I should submit another letter of recommendation alongside my LOCI - not sure whether this is too pushy or whether it could help boost my chances further. Thank you for all your advice once again :)
Hi! Thank you so much for this video! I've been deferred from Harvard and I was wondering when you send your letter: was it before the regular action deadline?
Hi Greg, I appreciate and love the videos! I am also really interested in Chinese language and culture and want to develop a "spike" like you did which successfully helped you get into college. Besides doing a school mandarin club and getting good grades in Chinese class, what other extracurriculars that deal with the Chinese language stands out for colleges? I know you mentioned competitions in previous vids, can you name any specific ones that are noteworthy? Really what other things should I be involved in to develop this spike? Thanks
Hi, thanks for this! Very good advise! I’m applying to the US this year and my ED will most probably be Columbia. Is it a good idea to contact professors rn?
Well I just got deferred too! Any advice if you actually talked about research with a student in your actual application? Should I just try again with a professor? Thank You!
This video is so clear and helpful! I just got my deferral from Princeton yesterday, and I am ready to fully put myself forward and hopefully convince admissions why I should be there. It is so comforting to see so many people who have been deferred from Princeton and then ended up getting in. Thank you for making such supportive and informational videos!
Hey! I know you said to reach out to someone at the school and as of right now I’ve e-mailed one professor from my top school (Princeton University) and DM’d another student on Instagram. Since you’ve so graciously put out this video about how you got into Princeton and I’m a deferred student for the class of 2023 I was wondering if I could reach out to you as a contact at the school just to learn more about student life at the University. Thank you so much for the video in the first place!!
Greg Smith Awesome! Thank you so much. I sent one over to you :) It might be in your spam or normal inbox but it should be there as “Student Life at Princeton”!
Question, How do you get a high GPA with a rough school? I moved mid year my freshman year and got stuck with teachers nobody wants, lost being in honers classes, failed classes, and honestly don't think I can succeed at this high school at all. I hate 90% of the people, would not be surprised if a school shooting happened, and the teachers are super rough graders that take off massive points for the slightest technicalities. One night I typed up a 7 hour story, handed it to the teacher (everyone else had just 2 periods) and got below passes after it being my life's work to get a 60.
I’m sorry to hear about your situation. It seems like you commented on a different video and mentioned a difficult family situation that could’ve influenced your performance in school. The common app has a section to talk about these sorts of things, so I would definitely do that. I agree that high school grades can depend a lot on your teachers, and it really sucks that you got unlucky with that. There’s probably not much you can do this year besides continue to do your best, but I would sit down with an adviser/principal/someone in the administration to talk about how you’ve been treated unfairly and see if they can clear things up. Best of luck to you, and sorry again to hear of your unfortunate situation.
Hi Greg! I currently am a sophomore high school student, and I am really involved in teaching and in the study of spanish. In your other video, I heard that you participated in a lot of chinese speaking contests, so I tried to find some spanish speaking contests, but I could not find a single contest. Do you have any advices of finding speaking contests that I can join?
Hi there! I did mention that in another video! My school offered the "National Spanish Exam," here is some information about administering the test and whether you are eligible to take it: www.nationalspanishexam.org/index.php/exam-administration/test-dates-and-proctoring-the-nse Aside from that, you could tutor Spanish, start a Spanish club at your high school, or volunteer for an English-teaching program for ASL students who speak Spanish as a first language. Those are just some basic ideas off the top of my head if you want to get more involved with your passion for Spanish!
Greg Smith Hi, thanks for your video. I am actually first-gen high schooler, and all the money for application process is earned myself. But I got a low ACT 26 and GPA3.86(my school doesn’t offer Weighted GPA), so please tell me whether it is slightly possible to get to Cornell.
Great video! So it seems like the earlier parts of the letter were addressing a “why Princeton” type question, talking about all the opportunities offered there you’re looking forward to. If the school I got deferred from’s app was basically a “why this school” question, what do you recommend talking about in substitute?
Great question! I would still keep the first paragraph sort of the same as mine, basically make sure to say that being deferred hasn't turned you off to the school. If possible, I would still include a section about "why this school," but you want to make it hyper-specific. Talk about a specific class that your friend at the school was telling you about, or a special program that interests you. It's okay to have a little bit of overlap with the supplemental essay, but definitely try to fit in some new points. It's imperative you rehash "why this school," because what you're trying to accomplish with this letter is demonstrate to the school that you are SUPER excited about it and it is your absolute number one choice. Hope this helped!
Hey, thanks for the video! How did you submit your letter? Did you do it through the Princeton’s additional info applicant submission page, or send a direct email to admissions office?
iam senior high school student, i want to apply college this winter!! but my DEC SAT was terrifying ...i want to do on March but most application deadlines is on JAN. i dunno what to do !!!!any advice plz
So, what I would do in your situation is send in your applications with the December SAT. BUT, on the Common Application, there is a section for "Additional Information" -- in this section, mention that you were sick, not feeling well, whatever the reason was for you doing bad, and say that you will send more scores in March. Hope this helps!
Hi Brother,I'm from Bangladesh and I want to get admitted in MIT. What should I do?I'm good on Karate, Cricket, graphics design,web design and so on...
Trebuie sa fi prezent 50% din numarul total de ore ca sa nu fi declarat amanat,ca sa iei bursa trebuie sa fi prezent cel putin 95% in tot anul scolar anterior ce e de 9,50 si de aia! Ca sa iei bursa trebuie sa fi cel mult 5% absent in tot anul scolar motivat!
La 20 absente nemotivate nejustificate pierzi bursa, dar ca sa fi om serios trebuie sa chiulesti cel mult odata nejustificat nemotivat cel des odata pe an!

Are you in high school currently? Unfortunately, different schools have different levels of college counselors. That's why I'm doing UA-cam-- I'm here to help out people who don't have college counselors that can give them personal advice.
@@CollegeAdvisor ohh I see. Thank you very much sir. I was thinking on going to the universities of my option. Are there counselor's there too? For instance, someone who could guide me in the medical field.
Starting a club at my high school definitely made me nervous. It wasn't really common for someone to start a new club because there were already so many! I remember that I had to write an essay about what the club was going to be, and I had to have at least 10 people who said they were interested in joining. Once I had this, I sent the 'club proposal' to the student government, and they decided whether it would become an official school club or not. After that, the biggest issue was advertising and getting more people signed up for the club! Lots of high schools have 'club fairs,' if not you could ask to do an announcement at a major assembly or post to social media to promote your club. Best of luck!
I'm not sure how to start a community service project based on Astronomy like you did with music, I am part of the regional astronomical society, I don't know if you or anybody may have any ideas to help me out! I love Princeton and went to visit it over summer 2019, but I feel like I am doing everything you said not to do and I'm almost a senior! :(
I like the community service I do in general because I usually sign up to help kids and work with kids and I really enjoy it but I feel like schools would think I'm just faking it, you know? Since so many people do
I got deferred from Northeastern yesterday and I really needed this video :) Do you think a boost in your Gpa is worth mentioning? My Gpa went from 3.8 to a 4.0
Thanks for the question! If you have a college counselor at your high school, they should be able to point you in the right direction. Otherwise, give the admissions office a call (if you look up xxx college admissions office you can find their number most of the time) and ask how they’d like letters of continued interest sent, because it depends on the school.
@@CollegeAdvisor Thanks for the reply - I'm in the UK so no counsellor but since I'm doing it for Princeton specifically I was wondering if you remember what they prefer from when you did it 2 years ago
Hey Greg! Late reply here but I was wondering something about the names. If I know and have been talking with undergrad students who go to the school, should I talk about them along with the professors I conversed with?
Is it possible to call the admissions committee to see how close you were to admission? Would making a call like this be a good idea or could it harm my application? Thanks in advance Greg!
Hii... I'm from Bangladesh... now I'm o Laval, I want to get admit into Princeton, I want to get scholarship also, so now what I need to do can you suggest me something please....!!!
Can anyone please share the address where I can send the my letter?? Please. I want my letter to reach the Dean of the admission committee. Please help.

I remember that I had to write an essay about what the club was going to be, and I had to have at least 10 people who said they were interested in joining. Once I had this, I sent the 'club proposal' to the student government, and they decided whether it would become an official school club or not.
After that, the biggest issue was advertising and getting more people signed up for the club! Lots of high schools have 'club fairs,' if not you could ask to do an announcement at a major assembly or post to social media to promote your club.
Best of luck!
Thank you for sharing!
You're very welcome!
I'm not sure how to start a community service project based on Astronomy like you did with music, I am part of the regional astronomical society, I don't know if you or anybody may have any ideas to help me out! I love Princeton and went to visit it over summer 2019, but I feel like I am doing everything you said not to do and I'm almost a senior! :(
I like the community service I do in general because I usually sign up to help kids and work with kids and I really enjoy it but I feel like schools would think I'm just faking it, you know? Since so many people do
Is it weird to contact my college admissions counselor BEFORE I’ve even got accepted into the college 😂
Haha no go for it!
for me..80% of applicants get deferred.
Are you a freshman at Princeton? New subbie!
I'm actually a sophomore. Thanks for the sub!
When is it too late to send this letter after early application?
I got deferred from Northeastern yesterday and I really needed this video :) Do you think a boost in your Gpa is worth mentioning? My Gpa went from 3.8 to a 4.0
Absolutely!
@@ikranyusuf1419 where did you end up going? (From someone who applied EA to Northeastern)
Can you suggest any college admissions guide for international students who are currently doing IALs under edexcel curriculum?
When did you send this letter? I got deferred and I'm wondering if its okay to send in the letter in a few weeks
I think it was mid-January for me. So that's fine!
How do you send the letter to them? Email someone, or upload onto the princeton portal?
Thanks for the question! If you have a college counselor at your high school, they should be able to point you in the right direction.
Otherwise, give the admissions office a call (if you look up xxx college admissions office you can find their number most of the time) and ask how they’d like letters of continued interest sent, because it depends on the school.
@@CollegeAdvisor Thanks for the reply - I'm in the UK so no counsellor but since I'm doing it for Princeton specifically I was wondering if you remember what they prefer from when you did it 2 years ago
@@Tylergreen111 I believe my college counselor emailed in my letter of continued interest.
@@CollegeAdvisor great, thanks!
@@Tylergreen111 You're welcome!
Hey Greg! Late reply here but I was wondering something about the names. If I know and have been talking with undergrad students who go to the school, should I talk about them along with the professors I conversed with?

Is it possible to call the admissions committee to see how close you were to admission? Would making a call like this be a good idea or could it harm my application? Thanks in advance Greg!
Hi Greg. Where did you submit your letter of Continued Interest?
to which collèges do you present your admission?
What do you mean by that?
Hii... I'm from Bangladesh... now I'm o Laval, I want to get admit into Princeton, I want to get scholarship also, so now what I need to do can you suggest me something please....!!!
You should watch my video on "How To Get Into an Ivy League School." Click on my name next to my comment, and under "Popular Videos" you'll see it!
Yeah sure.... and thanks...
@@tasmihimunmun8060 You're welcome
This was super helpful! But, where do you send this email?
How did you find the email for specifically Dean Rapelye to address it to her?
What’s a college guidance counselor
Can anyone please share the address where I can send the my letter?? Please. I want my letter to reach the Dean of the admission committee. Please help.
What was your GPA? Ooh Do a stats video!
Haha maybe I will! For now, I just got done filming a video about extracurricular activities, should be up on Friday :)
HELP! I need help! What should I do for my ECs?
Can a similar strategy be used if you've got a reject instead of defer?
