I'm an AVID teacher, and let me remind everyone of something: This young woman (Claire) did EVERYTHING right. She excelled in academics, extracurriculars, and took more than she needed to, but I was SURE she was going to get into one of those IVY leagues... but this goes to show that it's not about that... remember those Ivy leagues have a 2-5% acceptance rates. Do NOT get sick about being perfect... you're more important that that. However, do what you KNOW you're capable of. This young lady has an ABSOLUTELY bright future and anyone who accepts her and/or employs her will most definitely get an outstanding candidate. Congrats Claire on all of your successes. Wishing you a beautiful college experience and ENJOY it. I LOVED going UC Irvine, and honestly, I learned to grow up there a lot. I partied a little too hard, almost got into academic probation, and that's when I really shaped up. Enjoy life (while keeping to an incline path), and just maintain a positive outlook on life and good vibes will come your way!
No clue how I ended up here (I'm a college senior). But just wanted to provide some reassurance: I was in a similar position to you 4 years back, got accepted to my flagship state school and rejected/WL at all of my Ivys. Was devastated -- also recorded my reactions and didn't post haha. Ended up going to the state school, and now I have a job where I'll be working alongside a bunch of Ivys/toptiers (a job that friends of mine at Cornell/Harv/etc couldn't get). The school truly doesn't define you. It'll be tough for the first year or so but just keep that in mind!
Thank you so much! It's nice to see other people who can relate to my situation, but still hoping for the best! I'm glad to hear that everything worked out for you though :) Best of luck!
I totally agree! I ended up going to a school in Chicago (DePaul) and was upset that I was not able to go to my dream school The University of Wisconsin-Madison due to financial reasons. I ended up getting an internship offer my freshman year at Deloitte which is the number 1 accounting firm in the world and I truly don’t think it would’ve been possible if I would’ve went to UW-Madison because of how competitive and huge the business school is.
I feel like I'm definitely screwed based off this video. My test scores are good but my gpa is lower and i didn't take as many AP's. Also my extracurriculars aren't that impressive but I hope that I can overcome the odds and get into my dream school!
definitely not screwed! there are so many factors that play into admissions other than grades and I know a ton of people who had lower test scores and different extracurriculars get into ivies, so don't worry! good luck with your application
Wow, I'm honestly surprised about how you got rejected. Your stats and your background is very well developed. I was thinking to myself in the video "There's no way that she won't get accepted"....In the end, we have to keep persevering!
You are a very gifted young lady and will be sure to have success wherever you go! Can't understand what some schools saw in your remarkable resume and results not to accept! Makes me a bit nervous for my 11th grader. I went to college in the UK (applied to Cambridge in G11 and did not get in :(), but the standard here is evidently very high now.
This is gonna blow up my mind. Full time Georgian tech dual enrollment, and takes tons of AP , you are smart as hell. I have similar stats like you but georcia tech full time dual enrollment has just surprised me a lot.
first and foremost i just wanted to say congrats for all of your acceptances and for being put on the waitlist for so many schools :))) thats some incredible stuff! i just wanted to say that I noticed that we have a lot of similarities in our college admissions process (high stats and test scores, amazing achievements in ECs), and i just wanted to say that as someone who got rejected from Columbia (my dream school ugh), Penn and other t15s, I can SERIOUSLY empathize!!! it really sucks >:(((( and i know it may feel like you've done something completely wrong or that your hard work is not being validated (bc its what u FRICKIN deserve:////). but what i've had to come to grips with is that, these schools are missing the fck out... like it's their loss (ik that sounds egotistical but hear me out HAHA). at the end of the day, college is all about taking advantage of as much of your experience as you can, and I know that I will absolutely take advantage of EVERYTHING that's offered at the college I eventually attend (and I know that you probably will too!). so even though you may not really need it bc it seems like you're dealing with it well (idk tho hehe), but i just wanted to provide that reassurance because i know having that many rejections does not feel good (trust me, I know...). but know that your hard work was not for nothing. ultimately in the end everything happens for a reason, and just know that you WILL prove those colleges wrong :) i truly believe that!!! (but also gl for waitlist you prob wont even rly need this advice after lolol)
Thank you so much for your reassurance and I want to say the same back to you! I'm glad we're able to relate to each other so well :) Best of luck to all your future college endeavors!!! Thanks again!
our oncolytic virotherapy project >>> lol. congrats on all ur accomplishments! so cool to see your achievements since emory summer science academy! much love
Nidhi Manikkoth omg it’s been a while! I miss our laugh attacks so much 😂😂 and thank you, I really appreciate it! hope to see you around sometime soon :)
Great achievements during high school, for sure deserve more acceptance from the ones rejected you. Brown and duke are the schools I like the most for my daughter - 15 now. Think you can transfer to one of these two next year , especially brown. Seek help from a college application consulting firm , may help
Very great job. One theory I have about college admissions at T20 is that they look for very outstanding individuals in a certain aspect rather than well rounded if yk what i mean. Best of luck!!
Hello Claire! Please make a video on creating a writing portfoli through high school; what to do, tips, advice etc. You are so beautiful inside and out, congrats btw!
hi! and thank you so much :) I mostly has to do my own research but if you search up “essay contests for high schoolers,” a lot of options will pop up. I think you can search by state too to find more specialized ones!
ugh im really regretting not getting more involved in extracurriculars. my gpa is a 4.0 and i think my rigor is good, i still havent taken the sat but i just spend most of my time at dance and dont have any clubs really.
That's totally okay though! A lot of schools are also looking for people who invested a lot of time in one thing too. It shows commitment, dedication, and motivation. If you're able to show that dance helped you develop new character traits in your essays, that's all you really need.
There's a website called GaVirtual where I took my APs online. But, I think depending on where you are, the website has to be approved by the State for you to earn credit.
Hey! Congratulations!! I'm a freshman at Stanford and I was wondering if you had an instagram or email I could reach out to about a possible sponsorship??
guppy good luck! I think I mostly got lucky, but for the practice tests, I did a lot more questions related to those science or history articles (which were my weak points) so I could get used to them better.
I am focusing on writing as well. What would you advise me to do for my writing portfolio? Writing on Odyssey sounds like a great idea but they require too much information -my suspicious self said hello- So, which contests would you advise? Which activites to involve in? (Considering I’m not from USA)
Haha, I see. The Bowseat Ocean Awareness Contest is International and the Scholastic Art and Writing Award is too (but I think you may need a teacher's recommendation). If you want to show writing, try to join your school's newspaper or any type of yearbook planning if available. Besides that, you can always start your own blog/website and write what you like on there, but the main point is consistency! Let me know if you have any other questions!
Every Ivy League gets approximately 60,000 applicants nowadays especially with the test score optional feature. Out of these 60,000 applicants, there are thousands of them who are as qualified or even "better" in terms of extracurriculars or academics. Therefore when it comes down to choosing which applicants to admit, the colleges really do value the college essays the most as they are what tell the colleges about the applicant as a person and what makes them unique/distinguished from the other thousands of applicants who have extracurriculars and academics that are just as strong.
SeehowlongGoogleallowsyournametobe Thisisridiculous Yes! You do have to go through an interview process though depending on where you join. www.theodysseyonline.com
i’m nervous for the awards part bc i basically have none. my school doesn’t offer many scholarship/award opportunities and i don’t know what contests to enter. all of my awards were won with a team (like science olympiad) or its just a reflection of my grades (like principals honor roll). i don’t think honor roll is impressive enough considering the schools i’m applying to. (i’m a junior btw)
same! I'll be applying to colleges this fall. I want to go to Ga tech and my school if offering nothing due to covid. Literally no clubs in a public school in georgia. The only big thing I have managed to get is accepted to taking a dual enrollment class through yale, and so far it's going great!
@@oscar-ko8qg glad that ur yale classes are going good!! i’m sure ga tech will understand your covid situation especially bc it’s in the same state. dual enrollment classes are great tho; they’ll see you tried to push yourself even during the pandemic. i hope you get in!!!
I am studying in class XI in the science department of Bangla Medium .. I want to study in needblind university in usa .. I can do science subjects but weak in English. How to take sat preparation .. ??
I only have joined two clubs, key club and national honor society. But now I'm heading into my senior year and I feel like that's not enough and it's stressing me out, I didn't realize how important extracurriculars were and now I feel like it's too late :(
my school doesn't offer any AP sciences, but science is something I'm very interested in. I mainly want to take AP bio sophomore year and AP chem junior year (maybe AP physics and/or AP psych sometimes during high school). I'm currently in 7th grade, but I want to be ready for freshman year. Any tips for online AP classes? Also, great video!
Taking those science courses during sophomore year sounds like a great idea! I think it's nice to have that AP Bio background before going into chem. For online APs, I would say don't take them unless they're really necessary because I definitely found it harder to absorb the material (unless it's like AP art history or human geography since those classes are more reading based), but you have to, make sure to use those Khan academy videos and textbooks to help you out!
I think what happened was since you dual enrolled and already completed so many credits at Georgia Tech, colleges must’ve assumed that you would just attend ultimately and graduate faster. I think it hurt more than it helped, but just a speculation.
If you're from Georgia, there is a site called Georgia Virtual through which you can sign up for online AP classes. Those classes would count towards your high school transcript too.
actually i love GEORGIA TECH AND ATLANTA , much better than boston . it really is as good as it gets , but because it is in our back yard it doesnt get all the respect , but it is world class , plus it should be free to you ... a major big deal . BUT IF I HAD IT ALL TO DO OVER AGAIN ... i would go to the university of miami .. warm and the beach . cant beat it ( grad school and law school tend to be free etc , but not medical school. thus free college really is a big deal if you are going on to med school )
@@clairelin9403 I thought so. My son goes to the high school in Atlanta and plans to apply for dual program in GT this summer. Did you go to high school in Forsyth county? or Fulton County?
@@clairelin9403 your stat and EA are very impressive and I feel bad that you did not get into one of schools which did not give you admission. Which school will you go?
ahk1225 Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. I will probably end up going to GT, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see about those waitlisted schools.
It wasn't through my high school but it was through an an online georgia system that allowed students to take certain classes outside of high school but the credits still transferred back to my transcript.
Every Ivy League gets approximately 60,000 applicants nowadays especially with the test score optional feature. Out of these 60,000 applicants, there are thousands of them who are as qualified or even "better" in terms of extracurriculars or academics. Therefore when it comes down to choosing which applicants to admit, the colleges really do value the college essays the most as they are what tell the colleges about the applicant as a person and what makes them unique/distinguished from the other thousands of applicants who have extracurriculars and academics that are just as strong. Even if you may not have the best academics or such, if you can write outstanding essays that talks to you as a person then I'm sure you will have pretty good odds of getting admitted to an Ivy League.
Do the practice tests! I think Princeton Review books really help because it allows you to get familiar with the style and format of the math questions. Also, it's good to know those formulas by heart to save time, and a good understanding of those concepts will probably mean that you can grasp the question easily in the first place! And don't make careless mistakes! I think that was what costed me a lot of point in the practice tests, but if you're lucky it won't happen during the real exam.
Usually the review books help the most with SAT English passages. You can also try to read different types of short passages to widen your exposure to different types of writing. Honestly, I say the SAT English can be a hit or miss, so practice is probably the best way to prepare.
Definitely take it right after doing AP World at school if you’re taking it! If not, the Princeton Review books help a lot and have a timeline of major events throughout history so you have better context. Crash course and some Ap world lectures on UA-cam are also super helpful!
Asian Americans definitely get a raw deal from these top schools through no fault of theirs,it’s just so sad,Georgia tech had to choice but to take her because she’s in state,else they would’ve probably discriminate against her as well
the fact she got rejected with all of those awards and stats makes me a bit worried...
Grades and scores aren’t everything. Her essays were probably bad
@@chickennugget7083 And there is always affirmative action
@@randomenjoyer4319 what do u mean by this exactly?

It wasn't through my high school but it was through an an online georgia system that allowed students to take certain classes outside of high school but the credits still transferred back to my transcript.
Bruh rejected from all those elite schools. What more do they want! We all screwed then 😂
ikrrr this video just made my anxiety spike up so much ;-;
Every Ivy League gets approximately 60,000 applicants nowadays especially with the test score optional feature. Out of these 60,000 applicants, there are thousands of them who are as qualified or even "better" in terms of extracurriculars or academics. Therefore when it comes down to choosing which applicants to admit, the colleges really do value the college essays the most as they are what tell the colleges about the applicant as a person and what makes them unique/distinguished from the other thousands of applicants who have extracurriculars and academics that are just as strong. Even if you may not have the best academics or such, if you can write outstanding essays that talks to you as a person then I'm sure you will have pretty good odds of getting admitted to an Ivy League.
Do you have any tips on how to get 800 on sat math?
Do the practice tests! I think Princeton Review books really help because it allows you to get familiar with the style and format of the math questions. Also, it's good to know those formulas by heart to save time, and a good understanding of those concepts will probably mean that you can grasp the question easily in the first place! And don't make careless mistakes! I think that was what costed me a lot of point in the practice tests, but if you're lucky it won't happen during the real exam.

How did you study for SAT English in between your sittings?
Usually the review books help the most with SAT English passages. You can also try to read different types of short passages to widen your exposure to different types of writing. Honestly, I say the SAT English can be a hit or miss, so practice is probably the best way to prepare.

Hey, what can I do if I study in Russia and my school doesn’t offer any AP/honors classes?

tips for sat world history subject test?
Definitely take it right after doing AP World at school if you’re taking it! If not, the Princeton Review books help a lot and have a timeline of major events throughout history so you have better context. Crash course and some Ap world lectures on UA-cam are also super helpful!
Claire Lin Thank you!

Asian Americans definitely get a raw deal from these top schools through no fault of theirs,it’s just so sad,Georgia tech had to choice but to take her because she’s in state,else they would’ve probably discriminate against her as well
Haha... if she were a Latino or other AA color, she would have gone to Harvard for sure.
Waitlisted is a polite rejection

Hi shanru xu how are you
Wow I cant tell if I want to be this girl or marry her
If you were black, you would have gotten into an Ivy League school or a Duke, VANDY OR Northwestern. With the options you have I would pick Emory.
Those schools are missing out
