hey y'all! please put some questions you have about life, my experience w the application process, or whatever into the comment section! i'll be recording a video soon answering these questions :) i hope y'all have a nice holiday season!
so should i add whenever i apply- that i got a invitation from columbia university, harvard, NYU, and Browne to do their program over the summer? or is that a letter that everyone gets so it wouldnt be too good... (i didnt go to any of them because of financial issues though)
Everyone gets those. Those summer programs are not really any special other then just the University trying to get more money for kids who think the program will give them an extra "chance" to get admitted.
do you live in NY? cuz i wanted to do the program u did (columbia SHP) but it says "requires the participant to live within a 75-mile radius of our campus." i live a few states down sigh
how much volunteer hours did you put/ get done? i have 200 service hours logged into my x2vol account even though i did more, but because i have 200, i will get 2 service learning diplomas, do you recommend me to keep putting in hours, or is this content and should i focus on other things?
Quick question. For the NYU research, was it through a summer program or was it just cold emailing? If it’s a summer program can u please slide the name 🙏
hope your not annoyed by the multiple questions, but i hope this will help you make a video with them😭 ANYWAYS- make sure to do a move in dorm tour vlog whenever you move!! i literally binge watch these videos and get an adrenaline rush because of the excitement for whenever it's my turn (i need to go to columbia omg... if i don't im literally gonna) anyways cant wait for your roblox video #playingrobloxwithmybaddies😛
Hiii, Alex!! I’ve actually been waiting for you to make a video like this 😭 AND THIS SHOWED UP @ THE PERFECT TIMING! I’m currently grinding through all my apps during Winter Break and just praying for the best. It’d be nice if you could make more study vlogs 🙏 Also, what do you believe was the #1 determining factor for getting in? Was it the quality of your essays, extracurriculars, letters, or? Much love!!!
GUESS WHOS ALSO A BIOCHEM FLOPTROPICAN APPLYING FOR THE IVY LEAGUE!!!!! wait but i fr have the same stats im praying i get in somewhere this yr 😭did u talk abt queen jiafei in ur essays
YESS GOOD LUCK!!! no i did not :(( but in my 1st supp. essay about works/exhibitions that influence me i tried to include some more personality into it (but i did not mention floptropica in that tho haha)
Hi I've been watching your videos because I want to go to Columbia and I just found out now you do Columbia SHP lol. So do i! How has your experience at Columbia been compared to your expectations when u were in SHP?
Hey alex, I am a senior applying to Columbia regular decision , I am going test optional will it harm my application and like can i get your email or something if you could give a overview of my application. That would be of great help. Thanks!
I just got in for class of 2029 ED going test-optional. I don't think it will harm your application but you should make sure your application is very competitive.
Hi! On the website they say that test optional won't harm. I don't think I could help much with the appliction because I don't want to come off as someone who is super knowledgable in the application process. Some things that I did not may not have helped my application :(. Good luck with your application tho 🙏
i thought of some more questions hehe: what's the situation with tuition? where are you from (ethnically)? is it easy or hard to make friends? places to eat that you recommend? (also this is for me but whats ur ig, is it okay if i dm you one day when im a senior and have you just take a look at my essay?😓🙏🙏)

do you live in NY? cuz i wanted to do the program u did (columbia SHP) but it says "requires the participant to live within a 75-mile radius of our campus." i live a few states down sigh
yah! i am within that radius so i was able to commute
how much volunteer hours did you put/ get done? i have 200 service hours logged into my x2vol account even though i did more, but because i have 200, i will get 2 service learning diplomas, do you recommend me to keep putting in hours, or is this content and should i focus on other things?
hmmm i put over 700 hours because I wanted to put the max amount of information into the application
Quick question. For the NYU research, was it through a summer program or was it just cold emailing? If it’s a summer program can u please slide the name 🙏
