your videos are so informing and inspiring as well! as a rising senior who is in the verge of dying from drafting multiple college essays, i would love to hear a sample one from you :D
yesss pleaseee!!
how'd you do in the admissions cycle
this girl is literally insane 🥲
I’m so scared for applying for universities 😢 I’m in a town of like 2,500 people… and there are like no activities I can do… idk what to do. We don’t even have a hospital 😅
Exactly!!! There's literally nothing I can do to get my ec's up! We don't even have any charity events or organisations, our school doesn't even have any clubs!! 😭😭
Why don't you start a club? 😊@@SomethingFunnyforyou
Same guys samee 🤝
Cant y'all like, do it online cuz that's what students did during the pandemic. AND you can explain you situation in the essays. Colleges judge on the basis of how you utilised the EXSISTING resources. like, how you make the best out of what you have available. Plus, internet is a wide space.
@@study_life277 the thing is, I came from an abusive home (I left btw) but we didn’t have access to the internet. So this is the first year I was able to even touch a phone and I’m still learning how to work stuff.. by online, what should I do? For college stuff
Congratulations Millie!!! I'm a new viewer, but I'm so happy that you got into all of your top choice schools, and I wish you the best of luck in college! I know you'll do great :)
you're so well spoken, thank you for the information! please make a video about your essays!!
You are such a positive source of light and kindness on the internet.
Wow. What a well made presentation .. it just flows like a clear stream carrying the nuggets ! Just this video is proof why you got thise admissions ! Clear, arriculate, willing to help others, honest, amiable , and ofcourse well-rounded😊 👏🏼👏🏼
Congratulations Millie!!! Can't wait to see what your room looks like !!
this def reassured me about how i was planning my common app so thank you for that!
and YES I WOULD LOVE TO READ YOUR ESSAYS
Hello Millie! Congratulations on your academics and extracurriculars! You did a great job with your studies. Including the video because it has great content! I find it the video very helpful! Again, great job with your content and your video. Very happy for you! Good luck with your dream college. God bless you and your family. 🙏❤️
13:23 i would love to read or even to hear your essays!! you are such a hardworking person, i really want to learn from you the tips that were used in your writing and applying to universities time!!
Thx for this video, Millie. I’m really proud of you, congratulations🎉🎉
Hi Millie your video is one of the most informative that I've seen! Thank you and congratulations on your acceptances. You have worked so hard and deserve to go to a dream uni. X Emma
lol
Thank you, Millie, for your very important for us video and for sharing your experience with us! We are so glad for you being accepted to Yale! You are a great person, keep going! And I would like to ask you to make a video about your ‘personal statement’ essay as it will help us to figure out what can we write to be accepted to colleges of our choice!^^ You spread positive energy and motivate us! Thank you very much!!!
I have watched these videos, taken notes, and been learning this process since I was little, but now that I am a rising senior, your video came out at a perfect time! This was the most all-encompassing and informative college video I have ever watched!
Yes
this is probably the most informative video I have every watched on college apps :)
This is such an informative video. It rlly helps so many students out there, like me, who are ambitious of going to an ivy league school! Wishing you all the best :))
Hey Millie, I'm just heading closer and closer to the college apps and I would love to hear some great tips on college essays. As you mentioned it's one of the most important criteria in a college app and would lure admission officers to choose you. Please share some essay ideas, as well as great tips! 💖💖💖💖
we looove a great advice video!
1. Start Early but Don't Overwhelm Yourself
Begin preparing for college applications as soon as possible, but allocate time each day to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
2. Stay Organized
Use tools like Google Sheets to keep track of application deadlines, essays, scholarships, and letters of recommendation.
3. Craft Your Story
Focus on what makes you unique as an applicant and highlight your achievements and passions. Tailor your application to align with your intended major and the values of each university.
4. Write Compelling Essays
Common App essay is important. Have a structured approach that includes a clear story, observation, and reflection.
5. Maximize Extracurriculars and Awards
Prioritize extracurricular activities and honors that demonstrate your interests, leadership, and impact. Highlight significant achievements and leadership roles.
6. Prepare for College Life
Create a personalized living space with resources like Dormify, embrace uncertainty, and understand that college decisions do not define your worth.
7. Choose the Right Fit
Look for what you need for your academic and lifestyle preference.
YESSS!!!! I would love to read your essays!
Could you make a short video on maybe tips for the sat? I think its insane you made a 1540!! Congrats to you queen!!💓
3:19 (just a timestamp for me. thank you for this video! it was so helpful for a rising senior)
I’m currently a senior n i find your videos so inspiring! I would love to hear your essay as well!!
please do a video of reading your essays!
Ok! So I really *really* wanna get my extra curriculars up, because I always spend waaayyyy to much time focusing on my grades and gpa, but watching this I feel really low on my ec's 😭😭 So if anyone has any, literally any advice on how I can enhance my ec's, while not messing with my gpa, then I would be *soooo grateful* 😭♥️
im offically obsessed
HER: "Grades are definitely not the be all nor end all".......Top 10% of an exclusive prestigious highly selective competitive public Academy, 4.0 , 11 APs w scores all 5s, took the SAT once 1540...
ME: ...Having flash backs when some stated, "Looks aren't everything" ...So I won the Miss Universe, I model for Victoria's Secret , scouted and recruited by Ford Modeling agency , featured on People's Magazine Most beautiful Hottest Person of the Millennial ....
yes I need an essay vlog plsss
Yes would like to see another video for essays
yeessss.....would love to see the essays
as someone who is applying for colleges this fall.. THANK YOU! i'd love if you'd read ur essay as well :)
Awesome video and thank you for the tips!❤ How did you create state-wide coalitions? I’m looking to branch out my club so it’s not just for my school specifically. Any tips?
I feel like common app wasn’t as talked about back when I was in high school. I’ll be graduating university this year public universities are still great options. If you weren’t involved in lots of extra circulars or did much community service. You can still get into public universities if you don’t get accepted to big schools/want other options
Thank you so much, Millie, for this wonderful video. Your video helped a lot to consolidate everything necessary to make an application, it will help me a lot. (I study in Brazil, I can say that the system to be accepted in an American university is very different from a Brazilian one)
Wow -You don't really need to go to college, you already know how to start businesses, you are organized, driven, and I think you will be very successful!
I would have bet you were headed to Yale based on the acceptance video. I still think its funny to think about the Stanford admissions folks being all confused. "This is a decline letter. She's not coming. What do we do with them? Where do they go? Anyone?" Have a great year.
Don't even know why I watch these videos as an Aussie. All I had to do is apply (as in, click a button) with my top 5 universities and potential degrees I'd want to do (I could change this one I got in) and would be given offers a few months later in order of my preferences. You normally don't need any extra curricular activities, leadership positions or essays to apply, it is just based on how well you did academically (in most parts of Australia this is called an ATAR). You're basically guaranteed a spot if your ATAR is above their entrance requirements (very achievable for most degrees), with slight variations between universities based on demand (usually for universities in big cities, not because of prestige). We even have a thing called "school's recommendation" which is just a letter from your school saying you got a C average and can get you into most universities (still quality school) for degrees like teaching, arts, or humanities, allowing people who aren't as academically gifted to go to uni. I am so lucky that I get to attend a top university (currently #34 world wide) without the stress of college applications and fees that could put me into debt. Either way, I think the US college application system encourages a lot of people to branch out of their comfort zones and push themselves to their full potential and am very impressed by Millie that she was able to get into so many great schools. Good luck!
congrats millie!!!! thank you for sharing, u are so inspiring. I want to ask how did you find your honors ?
thank you so much!! for my honors, i searched "awards for high schoolers" online and went through the results to find awards that fit the work that i did!! hope this helps
so slay millie see u at yale
Congratulaitons, Millie! Would you mind sharing your google sheet you mentioned?
I want to either get a BFA in theatre or double major in exactly what you said!
I applied to two universities for graduate school: Stanford and Brown. I got both of them and graduated from Stanford. I guess you could say that I was backup school averse.
Hello Millie! I am an international student studying in China (I'm Korean but I've studied in international school in China for two and a half years haha) Your videos are so helpful for me, a junior in high school who is almost obssessed with Yale 😂 But I'm worrying that my APs and ec are not really enough (actually too less) I got two 5 so far and planning to take 4 more APs in 11th grade and 3 more in 12th grade. I'm interested in English speech and organizing activities (I only got few things to show though) I know every person has different path and characteristic, but I am still worried about them. Besides, keeping balance between ec and study is difficult too :( I only got half year to do something and recently I started to doubt myself whether I can really get into Ivy or not...(I watched all the ec you did in high school and those are awsome!! It's unbelieveable that you did all of them while having a good grade!!) Should I prioritize Ap and sat more for the rest of the time? Do you think it is possbile to have few ec and get into Ivy..? It will be great to have your response and I hope I'm not taking up your time! Oh btw happy new year✨️
Even if you don’t get into Yale or other ivy leagues that’s okay their are spots guaranteed for children of alumni which takes away spots from hardworking students. Ivy League is overrated and way too expensive for some any university would be happy to have a hard working student
This helped a lot! I would love id you did an essays video. I was wondering how you found all of those honors and extracurricular to sign up for and do. Im a sophomore in high school and I don't know much about how to increase my amount of acclaimed honors and extra curricular's.
Hi! I wanted to know if you could make a video on how you created a blog!
When I started high school, I really wanted to go to an Ivy or top school. My freshman year I started off strong with straight A’s. And I had a good first half of sophomore year on the cusp of another straight A year and then fell off. The same happened with junior year, started strong with almost all A’s only to fall off. I’ve struggled with mental health, dealt with other issues, and an extremely hard math class junior year. I’m not trying to play a sympathy game here but I’m so nervous going to the college process cuz my weighted gpa is a 3.83 and my unweighted is an abysmal 3.5.
Anything I can do to help myself? I’m studying hard for the ACT and SAT(third time), and really want to have a perfect senior year!
Why not consider your state university?
@@aar2014 My state school is UMass Amherst. I did apply and get in. I’ve gotten into lots of good schools in this process including URochester, Northeastern, RPI, WPI, UConn, Rutgers, Drexel, and Temple.
I am also maintaining nearly straight A’s in 4 AP’s. I went test optional in this process.
Hi! Loved your video and I was wondering how did you self study for APs? Thanks!
essay video pls :)
Hi, first of all, your video was really helpful. Thank you. So I'm a international student, and I'm at sophomore year which is my first year in America. I got interested in staying in America, and I was planning to go to university here. For know, my grade is pretty good but expect that, I have like no extracurricular except the sports I did. Do you think it is too late to set Princeton, UCLA, Penn, etc. for my goal university?
Can you please do an SAT video? Because Im a junior this year and im stressing about it cause im having a really hard time studying for it.
Are you able to provide the google sheet you used as a template?
could u pls make a video on how to ace your highschool
what of if you are not staying in the country an international student what do I do
Please kindly share a template for the spreadsheet or google doc 😊
I’m a junior and an int student I’m scared I don’t think I’ll get accepted into Stanford😭
could you share a template of your google spreadsheet?
How do I identify my narrative if my major is undecided? 😭🤧
Can you share your essays?
how didi you wirte the essays? like by hand yourself and your own ideas or took some help from google and stuff?? please reply
just curious, why did you have so mant different teachers write letters of rec? I thought only two teachers were typically allowed?
i’m in middle school (year 9 in Aus) and i’m worried about this because i have no idea what i should be writing for college apps, should i be worried? 0.o
It seems like non-profit organizations are really helpful
💕😍
Which one of these august institutions are you planning to attend?
I really loved the video! I’m currently in grade 9 and want into get into a good school (doesn’t have to be an Ivy League). But, my school doesn’t offer ap or in programs. What do I do about this regarding my grades? What else can I do to make my application stand out?
i know gohar’s guide has a good short video on it. i’d check it out!
Thank you sm!
Is there anything I could do as a year 8 to boost my chances of getting into a good college
I'm a freshman in high school are there any tips for me to start doing right now?🙃
Hi ik this may be a dumb question but how can I make a blog site 😢 somebody plz help me
hey!! confused 9th grader here
does as and a level matter? because my school doesn’t offer one
Hi. Do you think I can get into UC Berkeley and Princeton? I go to a school that does competency based narrative grades. I'm supposed to be graduating by June of next year. Also I have lots of extracurriculars that are very unique and not so common. Like I'm on the envirothon team, am on the student leadership team, I did a summer trauma program at new york Presbyterian, and also am doing a summer neuroscience research program at rockefeller university. Additionally, for my junior year I'm doing a college algebra course at my school in association with howard university, a college environmental science course in association with UCSD, and this summer I'm taking hunter college now classes.
can u give us the spreadsheet template?
Do these high achieving high-school students ever sleep? I really don't understand how someone can fit that much into their week.
yeah so theres no hope for me. thanks!
I’m in 7th grade and im worried about college bc Yale is my dream school tips?
Don't worry, middle school doesn't matter and do whatever you want, in highschool is when you should lock in so don't burn yourself out before you get to hs, live your life and have fun while you're still young
@@catherineb6889 That's really good advice, but the thing is... I just got into high school (9th grade) and everybody and their moms are telling me to start thinking about college, it's soooo stressful, I'm even more burdened since my sister got into a high class institute with a scholarship and everyone expects the same from me, believe it or not, I've already started to look up cambridge applications and scholarships 😭😭
I have NO IDEA how i'm going to make my EC's look this good. I have leadership positions in a large variety of clubs and councils that I'm passionate about, but I don't know how I'm going to make them all interconnected on my commonapp! president of french club, secretary of environmental club, cross country runner, (very bad) piano player, national qualifier for speech & debate, and school rep for a youth council, doesn't really scream somebody interested in pursuing english as an undergrad, and then law school
it's all over the placeeee
You got into Yale. Did you get interviewed by a Yale Alumni? and Did you get interviewed by Stanford and Harvard?
CHATGPT
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Is it okay to write the same narrative for multiple schools? Do they notice? Specially Ivy leagues
I’d be careful with the ivy leagues tbh I think other schools are better than them. They cost way too much and are just hyped cuz of reputation
Im an international student and my school doesn't have APs, should I take APs outside of school?
You could take dual enrollment, id recommend it over APs because if you pass the course you're guaranteed the college credit whereas AP classes your credit is based off of one exam
We just not gon act like dis girl don’t got the academic resume of a girl in a Netflix show
My school doesn’t provide AP classes, please help! Are they necessary and if Yess please suggest programs in Mumbai for AP classes! Anyone?
yes ap classes r essential for college applications, but they can be supplemented by IB's. AP tests can be taken regardless of if u took the class or not, and regardless of what country u are in (correct me if im wrong). as for specific programs I cant say, as im a student in the usa, hope this helped :)
Shes the asian cousin we all get compared too....
what school are you going to
she went to yale
Millie... why do you chose Yale??
Probably because it is a strong university with a beautiful campus and lovely people
I❤❤❤❤❤you
So im cooked😂😂😂😂😂
Don't say that, if you *really* wanna get into you dream college/uni, then you'll definitely take action on it, it's not as complicated as they make it seem, just pay attention in class, go over your notes every now and then, participate in extra curriculars and practically any uni as good as Berkley or Standord will be ready to accept you!! Just stay positive!!
plz not the ship and courier
Omg i want to be you
hard pass
LEAVE YOUR EGGS EVERYWHERE LMAO
She will be a great addition to a DEI department of any university or corporation. And then a nomination in a democrat liberal political position. All the buzzwords are there 😊
Hi! I'm currently entering my Junior year of highschool and i think it is the right time to start preparing for the application process, there's one problem though, throughout my school years i haven't had that much of extracurriculars and awards in my opinion. do you think that i should start getting into more activities related to my passion or is it too late to start up some projects? i'm also looking forward to spending my senior year as an exchange student in the US, would that make things difficult? would it be somewhat helpful for my application?
and can u tell me how to apply for stanford university and how to do the tests which they give
Thank you very much for help and information 🫂💕
By the way,you look amazing!!!
Well done. However, you most likely picked the wrong major.
What’s your email???
