Congratulations! I'm a Dartmouth '20. Hanover is a magical place, and I'm so happy you have the chance to study there. At the College -- talented peers, caring and invested faculty, clubs, talks, fellowships galore. In the Upper valley -- more hiking, skiing, etc. than you can imagine, and the most open, friendly and down-to-earth people you'll meet. I'm glad this admissions cycle was a growth experience and not simply draining. Naturally, you've got to make the best decision for yourself, and I'm confident you'll succeed wherever you end up, but if it's Dartmouth, then I'm glad to be among the first to welcome you to the Big Green family. ^^
Congrats on all of your acceptances!! I have my eye on Vanderbilt so I would love a stats video to see what your application looks like since you were accepted :)
Congrats! Dartmouth '12 here. Not sure if my views are still current, but thought I'd comment because I started at Dartmouth as a music major. I ultimately changed majors, but was still very much able to pursue music as a hobby and I integrated it into various other courses. Ten years after graduating, I'm very grateful for my education and fully believe it's provided many great personal and professional opportunities for me. Best of luck!
Congratulations on all your wonderful acceptances! I’m a Dartmouth ‘92 and my daughter is a Dartmouth ‘25, so I’m partial to “The Woods.” My daughter is really enjoying her first year at Dartmouth! Please visit, if you haven’t!
Greetings from Denmark. Great video - could not help rooting for you opening the decision letters. Dartmouth and Vanderbilt both sound amazing - best of luck wherever you go
Oh my goshhh😻 I also applied to Math and Music majors!!!!! I’m a musician🎻& intl student and I’ll be attending Duke in the fall💙 (can’t wait to see you on campus for classes, sym orch, chamber music etc. if possible) this is truly amazing- huge congrats on all your acceptances and best of luck wherever you go
My daughter is a first year student at Dartmouth and really loves it! She got into higher ranked schools, but loved the outdoorsy aspect of Dartmouth. Her dorm room has a view of the Connecticut River, with Vermont in the background. Congrats and best of luck!
Dartmouth is a top-tier university, therefore there are no “higher-ranked schools” than this, since individual ranks within the top tier fluctuate wildly from year to year enough to be irrelevant.
I’m only 13 but rn my life goal is to go to Juilliard for music major, I play violin, not for long but I’m still playing every day for about 30+ but soon I’m raising my practice time to 2 hours, also CONGRATS for getting into the collages you wanted
Consider joining a youth orchestra if you already haven’t. Juliard is extremely competitive, and most people who get in are apart of well known-youth symphony orchestras!
BTW the nine colonial colleges are Harvard 1636, W&M 1693, Yale 1754, Pennsylvania 1740 (also known a PENN), Princeton 1746, Columbia 1754, Brown 1764, Rutgers 1766, and Dartmouth 1769.
What I will never understand about high schoolers like yourself is that it's not so much the university you end up attending that impacts your life but the actual major that you end up choosing. Since your major will determine what career path you will take since what also matters is accredidation. For example, my school UT El Paso has the exact same ABET accredidation as Harvard and MIT for our electrical engineer program. Where we have graduates including myself who have been offered to work for fortune 500 companies. Where my starting salary for one of them is $86,000 per year plus a 10% yearly bonus if the auto company performs well. And I earned that by attending a school that is not nearly as famous as the schools in your list. Where my point is that high schoolers should focus more on what major they actually want to study instead of wasting countless hours applying to universities that have the exact same accredidation as your local community college and state school that are right by where you live. And FYI companies don't care really what school you attend lol I've interned with one of the worlds biggest aerospace companies where we have graduates from UCLA all the way to Harvard. So in the end you end up getting the exact same job as that college student who took out $60,000 in loans to go to an out of state school. Now if you have scholarships then fine by me but if you don't which is the majority of people just keep it cheap to get the exact same piece of paper where your diploma will read the exact same as fancy school diplomas. And don't waste countless hours applying to 20+ schools like this person, I'm not hating but I know people at my school that even start at six figures at places like IBM and Microsoft. So don't be that person where after applying to 20+ schools you end up changing your major 3 times since you never invested your time in doing research into what jobs your chosen major can have you doing which includes how much you will be making. I cannot tell you the amount of times I've seen a dance or music major switch to engineering or business when they find out that you make next to nothing doing those types of majors.
@@BostonTessie the four fortune 500 companies that I've been offered to work at hire people from both of those schools so it does. It proves you don't have to go to a fancy school to get a high paying corporate job.
@@BostonTessie How are those schools bad examples? Their name brand schools like every school in this persons list lol. What I am saying is that if your not even from the area of where these desirable schools are located why bother in applying to them? When you can literally get the exact same education for less at easier to get in schools.
@@bobgangsta1823 In your example, you used two elite schools. You didn’t say something like “x x community college and Harvard” therefore it was a bad example. Because UCLA AND Harvard are great schools. So your point doesn’t make any sense. Not sure how else to explain it.
Congrats on your acceptances! For the schools you applied as a dual degree like UMich, Vandy, and Northwestern, what was the admissions process like? Did you have to apply to two separate schools and if so how does that work?
For vandy and usc, you apply as a music major and then you can add a second major when you get there. For umich and northwestern, you apply to both schools separately! Just make sure to indicate interest in the dual degree program, there should be a question on each application about it.
Congratulations! So happy for you. My daughter is a junior. She wants to be a music composer. What do you think made you stand out? Did you like Oberlin?
I visited Oberlin last month and it was very nice! The small community and access to both a conservatory and college is amazing. As for my application to Oberlin -- conservatory decisions are mainly based on the audition, but I think being interested in an interdisciplinary approach to music and academics was unique. I also do ballet, and I believe being able to talk about music from the perspective of a dancer could’ve been unique. I don’t know how much this speaks to applying as a composition major, but I hope this helps :) Good luck to your daughter!!
I applied as a cello performance major to the music schools and as a math major to the non music schools. I am actually not going to be studying music in college but I will definitely keep doing orchestra and taking lessons!
Early decision means you must attend the school if you are accepted. If you apply early decision and are accepted that means you can enroll but are not “required” to do so
Oh Hurray, you are cheering and I'm Weeping😒. You are super intelligent. Congratulations my friend. You got admission to all my dream school.😇 Unfortunately, I'm not lucky like you because due to my Low GPA I'm not eligible to apply to top American universities. 😊 But I'm happy I got admission to Miami University-Oxford Ohio as a Freshman International student.
Did you make a decision??
Yes! I’m going to Dartmouth🌲🌲
@@Ava-qt4jb yayyy Dartmouth!!!
@@Ava-qt4jb - Glad you didn’t break your teacher’s mug. That was awesome that he gave you that.

@@Ava-qt4jb thank you for your thoughtful response Ava. Did you decide where you are going?
Hello are these college u applied all for music majors? (Music performance?) thanks
what kind of music major are you going to be? I also applied as a music major to all my schools, so exciting!!

Hey I was just wondering if you could make a stats video?
Hello AVA. Congratulations 🎉 .I wanted to ask you something. Is there a section of Athletics in college application form?
"Tar Heels, aren't they?"
Yes
Hey. Sorry to be that person lol, but do you mind sharing your stats from highschool? If not no big deal haha, just curious. Thank you !
congrats!! where do you think you are going?

@@Ava-qt4jb Woo Hoo!!!!!! Yay!!!! So happy to welcome you to The Woods!!!!
stat video pls? 😂😁
What is the difference between Early Action and Early Decision?
Early Decision is binding meaning you must go if accepted
But what is Early Action vs Early Decision?
Early decision means you must attend the school if you are accepted. If you apply early decision and are accepted that means you can enroll but are not “required” to do so
Got it?
Why didn’t you apply to Harvard?
Oh Hurray, you are cheering and I'm Weeping😒.
