    Watching this video honestly gives me a lot more confidence than I had while starting it. I kept comparing my profile to the ones described in the video and as I felt it leaning more and more towards the elitist profile I found myself feeling more and more relieved. This was a great video for reassurance to stick through this journey and was much needed during the boards pressure. Thank you so much ma'am you're always the best!!!

I would constantly compare my profile with others and come up with the conclusion that it is not enough, but this video gave out the needed clarity over great essays for simple things. Thank you so much, ma'am, you are literally a life saviour and all the best to the crazy medusa channel!

    I am from USA, but I originally moved from Bangladesh during my middle school. Honestly, I was not expecting that I would know this much information in such a short video! Very well said and I am also feeling very good after you said how professors also want to know what pushed me into certain competitions rather than just what you got at the end. Have a great one!

And a lot of other colleges I applied waitlisted me. After watching you, it just hit me like some part of my resume is average profile and while another part is elite profile.

    can you make a vidoe abt how should the common app application look for someone who is applying after a gap year?
    Discuss the parts where gap year students should focus on more, tell what is different in their application from the "non-gap year" applicants and tell the way the admission comittee assesses such kind of applications etc.
    I think that this is a demanding topic with a lot of unanswered questions. I rarely see common app guides for the "gap year students", despite the fact that almost 30%+ of high school graduates take a gap year
