You think you can teach me like you do teaching lessons I.want to go here but I’m not the smartest and I would love to visit but I looked it up you need family or friends and such anyways love the content ❤
you keep saying u got lucky w ur interviewers, but its so unlikely to have 2 interviewers vouch for u in such a beautiful and powerful way without being deserving of all their praises. youre amazing, and that's why you got such great comments from your interviewers!
I’ve been watching your videos since you first got into Harvard and I just want to say Congratulations!! You have worked so hard and are clearly a self-motivated determined person coming from someone who just graduated college
Schools should show this video in grade schools to all students, it’s a great motivator and starts kids thinking about more than just passing classes and getting by like I was.
Wow, thank you for sharing. You're an exceptional student, and Harvard is lucky to have you. Your extracurriculars are also normal and realistic because so many create nonprofits and companies. This is unrealistic as many students can't afford this. It's clear you're passionate, and it's easy to see why Harvard accepted you. Please continue vlogging.
Love your workethic. You plan your videos in such a way that if someone takes your videos seriously and applies the ideas you suggested, it could benefit them to a exceptional extent, provided that you know basically the main points partially from experience and your solid knowledge. Love watching your videos. I low-key already feel like studying right now, 😂 I might as well begin
Thank you sharing the video with me! Really appreciate it. Congratulations on graduating from college for next year! You did a great job with your studies in high school and college. Including with your experiences and extracurriculars! That is very impressive. My name is Andres by the way. It is pleasure to meet you. Good luck with everything you do! God bless you and your family. 🙏❤️
hey helen,thank for sharing this video. love your content! as a student, I'd love to see a more in depth video on how you manage your time and crush all your classes. Any tips or tricks you used to stay on top of everything would be really cool :)
Super interesting Helen, its still crazy to me u did this all in 3 years! like u gotta tell us, what does your usual study system look like for classes ??
Thank you! I always set up my schedule in Google Calendar to organize everything in my day. I usually write important notes in classes and review them afterwards, especially during exam season :)
Thank you! I’ve discussed my summers in previous vids…it’s been an internship every summer for me! Last 2 were on the research side, but my current one is business development.
I knew the admissions officers would pick up on your advanced coursework at a local college and your research projects. It should be noted that they also made a point to comment on your demographic data. Recommendations matter!
Hello 🙃how were you able to graduate early at 16? Did you take college classes online? Or through a program? And I assume theres a difference between taking so much advanced classes that you graduate early at the same level as a senior, rather than graduating early and "dropping out" of high school without taking those advanced classes that can hurt your college app? (Like getting a ged) thank u and i love ur vids!!!
Thank you!! I accelerated by overloading on extra classes (either APs or dual enrollment). I explained this in previous videos, and you can check out an in-depth breakdown of my stats and ECs here: ua-cam.com/video/_2awv8jdNfE/v-deo.html
My 10 yr old daughter has been talking about going to Princeton or Harvard since she was 9. Her cousin went to Princeton and is now in her final year of residency training so she wants to follow her footsteps. 😀 She is pretty bright and skipped 4th grade. She is already thinking of ideas for a high school passion project. Hopefully the pressure she puts on herself won't get to her.
This is a great video. I live in southern Alabama, and we have a population under 10,000 where I live. We do not have opportunities or clubs like this, so does this mean that I do not have much of a chance to get into one of these prestigious colleges?
Don't worry! You don't have to participate in certain research or clubs to get into your dream college. As long as you pursue activities truly meaningful to you, that is what matters. You could start your own school club, volunteer with local communities, or even start a non-profit!
Same as urs. I wanted to go to Harvard but for a transfer. I can compare with u. I'm coming to Harvard next year as u go to Harvard this yr. U and I will settle in Harvard, as it will be the same for us. But life is NOT EASY. Needs assistance from God. Ur my sweetie and an angel 😇❤💕, thanks for assistance.
I have so many issues with the American admissions system...if a 16 year old achieved so much by that age (research, music, advanced courses, extra curricular) where was the time to play, be a child, a teenager? When these young over achievers look back I wonder if they will regret missing out on their childhood.
I definitely missed out on a lot, and I wished that could have been a bit different. However, I am thankful to be in such a great place now, and I know my hard work really paid off☺
@@HelenPiltner I guess being European (living in the US) it really does not make sense to me, what explains this rush to be done with school credit and being overworked in so many activities? These kids are trading their youth to subscribe to a system that rewards work over talent an curiosity. Students get into college burned out and most of them just want to graduate and go to finance or some other high paying job, instead of pursuing knowledge (contrasting with their teenage years in which they are all involved in research!). This system is breaking kids and it needs to be reformed, for instance universities should not accept more than 3 APs and also should not value more than one ec etc. There is a lot to unpack, but changes are needed.
@@andrycrisiana sadly, a lot of admits don’t have normal childhoods because they have pressure to succeed and get into a top university. I agree that it is not right. Kids feel obligated to accomplish all this “stuff” in order to get accepted.
Thank you so much for the video! I have been thinking about graduating early, but people warn me that it would hurt my chances of getting into Harvard, MIT or Stanford since I will only have two full years of transcripts (G9 & 10). Could you kindly advise me on this since you have gone through the process. For background information, I am dual citizen of China and US, and I have been attending an international school in Asia. I just finished G9 and I took 4 APs (Calculus AB, Computer Science Principles, Physics 1 and Chemistry and got all 5s on the AP exams). In addition to 4APs, I also took A Level Math (should be getting A*), Honors English, Honors Chinese, Honors Biology, Honors World History and Independent AI Research with a university professor. I got straigh A+ on all 10 subjects. For G10, I will take 7 APs (including Calculus BC, Physics C, Biology, Computer Science A, English Language, US History), 3 dual enrollment classes, and Independent AI Research at a local university (hoping to publish a paper as the first author with the professor). As you can see, I will run out of courses to take at my high school at G11. I plan to take Linear Algebra, Multivariable Calculus, Quantum Mechanics and AI Research at a local university as well as some easier and less relevant (to my intened major) APs such as Chinese, Statistics, Environmental Science, Macro/Micro Economics, US Gov, etc. I will have 18 APs, 8 college courses and A Level Math at the end of G11. I intend to major in Math or Physics, and I have qualified for USAMO (AIME 12) and USAPhO (f=ma 15) this February as a 9th grader. Should I graduate and apply early? I will also apply to Oxford for its CS+Math program. Thank you in advance for your kind assistance!
@@johnhuang3671 i’m not a harvard admissions officer and i’m just a high schooler like you so take my advice w a grain of salt. usually spots at any US university is reserved for domestic applicants. You’re clearly a lot smarter than 99% of domestic applicants, but colleges are businesses. Course load rigor is great but you’d need to be the best in your country to earn admission to an Ivy/MIT/Stanford which means winning huge competitions/doing extracurriculars. If you want to go to college in the US, look at universities that are international friendly/offer full rides to internationals that aren’t crazy competitive. The fact is, so many domestic applicants get rejected, and I’m sure they give less of a chance to international ones. I don’t say this to discourage you, by all means, keep doing what you’re doing/doing your best, but just letting you know!
Listen up Helen Piltner, I have no clue, no clue, whatsoever, why but... I believe you are a spitting image, physically (in terms of appeal, beauty, and looks) just like: Anna Nicole Smith.

Love your videos! Can you do a video on time management please?
One day I will find an imperfection of Helen. I still don't believe people can be this flawless.
Omg stoppp you are took kind! I am full of imperfections but strive to be the best I can
Thank you so much, Helen! It was super helpful. Could you give me some tips on how you spend your summers at Harvard? Like any summers abroad?
Thank you! I’ve discussed my summers in previous vids…it’s been an internship every summer for me! Last 2 were on the research side, but my current one is business development.
Your videos are really useful, thanks!!
Hey, Helen! Love your videos. I’m considering BME, and I’m wondering why you decided to switch majors? Thanks!
im going to apply these methods to my application towards Hharvard
Hey Manny you might wanna check on your spelling first😅
Q: What are your goals after college? Beside UA-cam
I knew the admissions officers would pick up on your advanced coursework at a local college and your research projects. It should be noted that they also made a point to comment on your demographic data. Recommendations matter!
Yes, they matter a LOT!
after hearing this, and applying this year REA, I know I'm cooked.

Great video. I think you meant waiving "Ferpa" not "Fafsa."
Asking in general, do you think pretty privilege or perception of wealth plays in interviews?

40 people able to afford college is wild.
How to admission in Harvard University. Given Me strategy for go to Harvard University
You said you’ve changed your major. What is your current major? I haven’t been able to watch all your videos to see. Sorry 😊
Neuroscience!🧠
The real quesiton is how tf did you take that many college classes in high school? Like the max at my school is 3 and they all suck
At first there wasn’t a credit limit for my dual enrollment program, but then they implemented one so I don’t think you can take as many now🤯😭
Helen loved you video
Would like to you share discord link which help in academics related query
what major are you now & what future career? :0
Neuroscience and possibly consulting!
@@HelenPiltner woah! super interesting combo
@@HelenPiltnerwhat kind? Mgmt consulting? Like mckinsey...bain?
great and helpful video but why do you talk like that?
Were both interviewers male?
