I'm a form 3 student. Stumbled upon this while doing my research for university and life after school. I watched your acceptance video first and I started tearing because that right there is my dream and it just impeccable to see a Kenyan girl like my self bag such accredited schools. My grades are shaking a little in form 3 but people like yourself push me to just keep grinding honestly. Everyone thinks I'm biting more than I can swallow when I aim for Ivy league but honestly you have given me the strength to walk around and say next year I'm writing my Ivy league applications without any embarrassment at all!
hey!! I'm so so glad my videos and my story can be inspirational to you guys. Your dreams are completely valid, don't let anyone EVER tell you other wise. Keep your head don, work on improving your grades, work on yourself and achieve your dreams. Shock everyone. Good luck!!!

HAHAHHAHHAH girl when you started talking about the slums I LOST IT! YOU GO GIRL! you are an inspiration and you deserve everything you have right now. Harvard is lucky to have u
i’m really wish study in MiT or Harvard, i only have my mom and my english level isn’t te best, but i’m all days wake up and I try harder than yesterday. I’m not a special person, but I really want be different, because i think that the perseverance and my ingenuity are the only I have to face this challenge. I appreciate you a lot, you motivate me to continue.
Proud of a Kenyan girl who worked her way from Kenyan Education system to Harvard University. It isn't a walk in the park. Don't worry about stereotypes who will see your success in the lense of your color and gender. You worked for it and earned it all we as Africans and especially Kenyans can do is to be proud of you and sky should be the limit.
I had a 1240 in my SAT and I’m from Ghana. But I’m still applying to Harvard. The worst they can say is no. And if so, I’ll apply to Harvard in my graduate study
Omg this video was so fun and helpful! I´m an international student from Brazil and your tips were very helpful for me! And I love how you are honest about everything in a fun way! Best wishes
I am a student is South Africa and I too am in the middle class of income. I am a grade 10 student as of next year and I’ve been looking at ways to make my application stronger for when I do apply. I get good grade but there is always room for improvement and I am week rounded in extra curriculums but I fear that all I do there are thousands of other applicants who do the same. I would like advice on what I can do and how because I would like to be in the medical field studying at Harvard
Wow you are so inspirational and I love the fact that you are studying in my dream university and that you qre an African just like me but I am Nigerian
Love love love you aki , I never miss a video if i do, my friend actually calls me and tells me your video has come out (she's my notification) The thing about going to malls and buying nothing I FEEEL YAAAAAAA
So I'm an international student from Nigeria, I graduated school 2018, I'm just applying to colleges(2021). I've submitted my Duke ED application. When asked about my gap year, I wrote about having taking utme (jamb) thrice, started a math tutorial for kids to help me pay for the exam, my GPA over 100 is 81.9/100. Do you think the gap year stuff will affect me? I'm applying to Harvard too. I got a 1470 on the Sat Maths:780 EBRW: 690
The gap year stuff is mainly so that they know you did something impactful with that time you took off- which sounds like you did. Your stats are great, work on essays, ec's etc and go ahead! All the best!
Hey. I did 4 A level courses and got all As can I get an acceptance at Harvard into medical school? It has been my dream school since childhood and I don't know if it is possible for me to get in
This is the only UA-camr I’ve ever seen that is actually real and talks about Africans from not extremely poor families actually getting into good schools like Harvard. Thank you ❤️❤️ For your teachers recommendation, did you get it from the last school that you were at because I have also changed schools and this is my first year at my current school.
O my God I just met u and i like u already.....I am in Kenya and I am just being form one in moi Girls Eld and I hope to get into Harvard some day...u are so inspiring and I love ur confidence and admire it 😍😍 pls respond to my comment and pls pls give me tips on how I can get in
Heyy, for what you explain I am sure you are more intelligent that what you think, in the end it is all about strategy JAJA. So proud of you!!... Another thing, it was not on my plans , but due to covid I will have to apply next year so I it also means I will have to take a "Gap year"so I would like you to please share me about: -what did you do on your gap year? -How did you presented it on your application? (I am so worried about this topic buecause I don't want my application to sound like I did nothing but international exams and college applications) Please help!!!
Hi! Thank you. On my gap year I got a job for most of it and did college applications. My advice would be to focus on any personal growth projects like learning a language, art, coding etc
i've a question for you as an international student (for bachelor) may i apply for many University together at a time? or individually have to apply...? please reply this....
I do think it puts you in a different category of student. as for the arrested part you would probably need to disclose that. do more research on that though and if possible reach out to the schools and explain your situation
I have crossed my fingers after submitting the application. I am super nervous. Your video is good, I just came for hope. I know that it is 100% upto them to select me. My story is little similar to you except I am a government student from India and my gender is male. I just hope they feel connected with my story.

It is hopefully helpful. Thanks for sharing
Is age A deciding factor in being admitted. Will be 36 yr old law student. Was getting arrested alot while being homeless?
I do think it puts you in a different category of student. as for the arrested part you would probably need to disclose that. do more research on that though and if possible reach out to the schools and explain your situation
Sist why no replydid I ask sth wrong
do they like consider all your grades through highschool or only your KCSE grade
please reply
This is what I also want to know
all your grades- at least that's what they say
Is there even one student without an A plain in Harvard from Kenya?
I’m not sure, but grades are a big part when applying and the better your transcript the better your chances of getting in
7:24-7:44 yaaassss queen
Perioddd😌
chill the part of going to malls and not buying stuff from shops there got me😫😙
its tough out here lol
did you use your wassce
i had to google what this is lol, but no I did KCSE because I'm from Kenya
What age were u when u got in?
19
I have crossed my fingers after submitting the application. I am super nervous. Your video is good, I just came for hope. I know that it is 100% upto them to select me. My story is little similar to you except I am a government student from India and my gender is male. I just hope they feel connected with my story.
Hey.. did you get in?
