Stats? Pleaseee ant recommendations here are my stats: 3.75 gpa, almost 3.8 out of 4.0. I'm taking all honors, I'm founder of my Chinese club, president of premed, and part of another club just a member though. I invest my time into all these clubs. I'm driven passionate and funny. What can I improve on? I'm a sophomore btw
hi could you please explain to me what a sophomore is and how you got accepted even though you are in high school I'm in grade 11 and I'm from south Africa and i see a lot of people talking about being accepted in like 2020+ so I'm really confused as to how or why you applied early and if i can do so myself.
@@rizzoli7 I got a 1410 on my SAT. I am rank 1/132 for my class. Since you're a sophomore I would advise you to really practice for these standardized tests. Stats definitely don't mean everything though. I feel like my essays and extra curriculars really portrayed my passions and who I am as a person so I think that's what helped me the most. Once you get closer to applying to these schools, just make sure you are very satisfied with your writing and have someone look over them.
I loved the part where you really went in depth explaining your classes. What you described sounds so amazing... I’m looking to study English and Philosophy (perhaps creative writing) and this totally helped me out! Columbia is my dream school and I’ll probably apply ED next year! I just love how much Columbia values the humanities! Thanks for the awesome video :))
man this really makes me want to go to columbia! it seems like a very chill school that really appreciates the humanities. i’m a high school junior right now and i think i’ll take a risk and apply. we’ll see what happens.
It's one of my dream colleges!! I am so restless after watching this video. I will try to get into the college. Your video was amazing. It gave such an amazing insight
I was waitlisted and I really want to go. I hope I get in from the waitlist but I know it’s very hard to. Kinda hurts watching this video but it was a great video
coloumbia is my dream school and i can’t stop watching this whole vlog over and over again. i’m literally so obsessed with it. i’ll be applying ed next fall so i hope i get to experience all this in the future. 🙏
Yo I watch this nowadays and don't believe I'm in the middle of my sophomore year here at Columbia. It seemed so distant when I first watched this video. Surreal. Amazing

Sherleen tries When people say class of 2023 or 2020+, it means what year they’re graduating college. A sophomore is a person in their second year of school.
Omg I really love this vlog... this was really informal to watch even though I’m not attending Columbia but I just want to say good luck and have a fantastic time😊
i'm applying to columbia in a few months (wow that's scary) and i noticed from a lot of students that bc of columbia's proximity to NYC, they often go out to eat... that's really amazing and and exciting since i'm also a foodie, but the question is how much typically are these expenses? living in NYC is def not cheap right?
Columbia looks great! though I prefer Brown bc of the open curriculum and the less stressful atmosphere tbh. I’m also a bit intimidated by the admissions rates, it’s great for my major (history) but I’m not sure if I should apply, On the one hand you’re in the city with a ton more opportunities than someplace like providence, but on the other hand the environment at places like Columbia and Harvard seems a lot more cutthroat and high strung than brown. I’m conflicted tbh, would love to hear more about your experiences at Columbia though! This video definitely made me think about applying next year!
Hey! Brown is also an awesome school. At the end of the day, it all depends on what you prefer. Columbia is quite competitive, and some people thrive in that environment. Others prefer a more laid-back education. They are both equally great!
Kevin Kong Thanks for replying! You should definitely make more of these Columbia vids btw, would love to hear more about what the schools like and your own experiences!
My dream school is Columbia but I don’t know if I’ll get in. I am a junior and will graduate with an honors diploma in 2020, but I am taking 10 credit hours from The Ohio State University right now, have taken 9 at a community college, and will graduate with a minimum of 30 college credits. My school does bot have AP but I take college classes as if I am a normal college Student and have been ever since I was 15. I will graduate at 17 because I skipped 1st grade, and have a 4.0 unweighted and a 4.13 weighted GPA right now (school calculates weird even though I have 9 fully completed college credits) but it will be much higher when I actually graduate. My ACT score is kinda low (only a 31) and I haven’t taken the SAT and don’t plan to. I have a bunch of extra curriculars: debate(team leader), photography(founder/president) yearbook (chief editor), japanese culture club(secretary, not japanese btw but was lending my support and supporting the club!), creative writing club, creative collective (a inclusive art club, founder and president). I know columbia is suuuper competitive but I have been in a college like environment so I can handle it. Do you think I might be able to get in? I will most likely be applying through Questbridge and I am aiming for admissions and hopefully a National College Match Scholarship. Sadly my writing skills aren’t the best but they aren’t the worst either, and I would like to major in psychology.
hey, im applying to Columbia through QB this year as im class of 2020 as well! i think you have a lot going for you and id like to hear back to see what happens with your finalist status when we find out on Oct. 16! :)
ive got accepted!! hope to see you, you seem really chill and intelligent and if i see you on campus i am hugging you, lol. cant wait, im growingggg omggggg
Hello thank you for this video it was really helpful. You went in dept with your classes it really further educated me and convinced me. I visited Columbia a few days ago because I went on vacation to New York and was absolutely amazed by the huge and beautiful campus. Keep making awesome videos like this! I plan to apply for Columbia. Could you please maybe make a video of the requirements to make it and how hard it was? Thank you and keep up the good work!
I’m in suburban neighborhood a little bit outside the Dallas Fort Worth area. This is my dream college and Manhattan is where I want to live when I’m older. What’s it like moving to the big city? Any tips for adapting to NYC life?
New York can be overwhelming but also lively! It is an amazing city but takes time for the transition. At Columbia, you can be in downtown Manhattan in 30 minutes. It is super convenient, but it can also be a distraction. Finding the balance is important. I can't say I have successfully made my transition to NYC yet hahaha. I'm also figuring it out right now. Hope this helps! I will probably make more videos of my life at NYC. Stay tuned!
Currently a sophomore (class of 2021!) would love to be accepted, it’s my dream academic lecture style and dream city. Currently I’m on the path to hopefully be considered. Does anyone know Columbia international relations programs and how that will transfer to “real world” jobs? I’m hoping to major in international relations/business and somehow get a job working as the liaison for business for vouge. Okay I realized this is a lot for one comment. Anyways. Loved the video.
I really want to go to a good college but I feel like I dont have any outstanding extracurriculars or accomplishments that will make me stand out. I’m a sophomore and I got 1440 on my SAT, i have a 3.89 GPA and I am a member in 3 clubs at my school. I do soccer and piano but I have never taken them seriously and never competed or anything. I have no significant achievements or anything and I’m wondering what I should do
Nice video! I'll be a visting international student at Columbia next September and I would like to know where I can find double rooms to rent near campus.
Nice video and your voice is quite soothing (you should start a podcast 😀) I have a couple questions for you if you could answer them I would be very thankful. Is the food for breakfast free? And do they offer any other meals and how much is it? Can any alumni live in a dorm room alone? Or do I have to live with roommates? Thanks.
Hello, I have an important and concrete question. I would generally consider my English not to be very bad. I study the language and have been studying at a boarding school for a certain time. Now I have to say that when I examine your language skills, I see that you think in the language, have totally taken it and subconsciously use it. I would love to get to that point. My English meets the standards of C1 with a tendency towards C2. To gain more fluidity and confidence with the language I would very much like to ask for your advice. Perhaps you can reflect on what has helped you and help you to use English at the level of speaking and writing. Thank you very much, I appreciate it.
Hi, thanks for the question! I guess being in a native english environment helped me the most in terms of refining my english skills. Other than that, I think putting more time into it also helps!
I swear the background song is in every college vlog I’ve ever seen 😂
Yes. 😂
How many college Vlog have you watched to notice?
Me too🤣🤣🤣
It's because it's free to use, no copyright.

I got accepted to Columbia Class of 2023. I can't wait to see you and everyone else on campus. I really like your hoodie btw

man this really makes me want to go to columbia! it seems like a very chill school that really appreciates the humanities. i’m a high school junior right now and i think i’ll take a risk and apply. we’ll see what happens.
Goodluck! It is an amazing school!
Most Ivy league and top higher education schools appreciate the humanities
Good luck
It’s a great school and you should apply but know that it has a huge problem with stress culture! Opposite of “chill”.
Ligaya Lim please explain
your voice is really calming lol
Haha! Thank you very much!
This video has inspired me to work hard in high school so I can apply to Columbia! Your explanation of the astronomy course sounds amazing!
Definitely go for it! You will meet great people here!
@@KevinKong did you get high grades now?
I got triggered when he left a little piece of egg.

Check out my Columbia weekend in my life vlog! ua-cam.com/video/XIY4AVoNA7A/v-deo.html
In all my four years at CU I never ate once at any of the dining halls. I don't know why. Now I regret it.
I'm so thankful that I got accepted into Columbia University:))

This vlog is so cool! Saluti dall'Italia 🇮🇹
翻墙看到这个小哥哥的视频,顺带翻了下之前的视频。觉的视频做的超细腻呀,不过分花哨,有一些vlog很有电影感,希望小哥哥以后多出视频呀~Columbia是遥不可及的学校,现在已经确定申请英国学校了,但是还是有个美国梦哈哈哈哈
哇谢谢啊!我还蛮喜欢电影的感觉。如果你有什么特别想让我拍的视频可以留言给我。其实哥大对于谁来说都不是一个容易进的学校,如果实在喜欢不妨尝试一下:)梦想还是要有的嘛,万一实现了呢哈哈
At 16:08, was that Max Joseph (from Catfish) on the left?!

It's actually not that big. It's small compared to other US universities, mainly because it's in Manhattan.
