Hey everyone, while I’m not completely comfortable sharing my stats/ecs on UA-cam, feel free to dm me on instagram and I will be more than happy to share them or answer any questions! My handle is @emi.zhang_
Can you share your ACT or SAT score atleast as I don’t use Instagram
congrats.
you did a right choice.
Your parents getting so excited is so sweet omgg 😭😭
Elder child perhaps
You telling your parents to leave just to call them back for every acceptance was killing me 😂😂 congratulations and best of luck on your journey!!!
Yeah, that was crazy, I thought they would just stay in the room and wait.
@@Lion-ik6lv I think she was probably just anxious since her dream school was in the bunch she was reviewing so I get it! I love how they respected her wishes because my parents would’ve stayed RIGHT over my shoulder 😭
@@laurenneldapascal haha yes, i am someone who needs complete privacy in really stressful moments like that 😭 hence why i opened every important college decision by myself :)
Bro, really, see your parents getting so excited made my day. Congrats.
Your dad's reactions were incredible!! Congrats Girl!!!!
So excited to see your parent reaction. Congrats sister !!🎉🎉🎉
Ain't no happiness as seeing ur parents' smile, how adorable! Congrats and ATB!
omg I love this so much!!!! congrats
Holy cow. I was crying for you until I started laughing when you told your parents they could leave. Congratulations on all the acceptances.
Your dad’s reaction to Yale made my day! I actually started crying
Congratulations
May all your dreams and aspirations come true and you get the rewards of your hardwork
Your parents such supportive!! They’re soooo cute
Ur parents reaction to Yale is so cute i loved how they huggd u at the same time
The last reflection rly hits different knowing who you are irl🥰🥰 CONGRATS!!!
Congratulations! Accepted to Yale and Princeton.
OMG CONGRATS!!! Getting into so many good schools is amaziiiing!!! (also love your cover hehe TPWK🤩💗)
Your parents' reaction was brilliant
i loved ur reaction for yaleee i had a feeling you would get in!!!
Congrats!!
I LOVE the wise words you gave at the end of the video. No matter where others go, it does not define their value. That is beyond true and people need to hear that. As someone who went to a community college and a local private university during my undergrad, I understand how getting into ivies may make others feel less than. Now I'm in dental school becoming a doctor even if I didn't go to an ivy league university. Regardless, I am so so happy for you and your amazing acceptances. There is absolutely a school for everyone.
The ivy league isn't everything. MIT and Stanford aren't ivy but they are among the best in the world. Personally I got rejected from every single ivy which hurt. But Stanford did accept me on March 31st. So that was great. Everyone has their own destiny.
@@t.s5806 absolutely, I just think people can get caught up in the world of ivies and can really downplay their own self worth. As you mention there are other amazing schools that aren’t ivies. That’s amazing, congrats on acceptance! :)
OMG congratulations, getting into 3 lvies is already awesome haha!
yale princeton AND columbia? this is HUGEE congratulations you deserve it so much 🩷🩷
This is so incredible. Princeton is probably one of the top 3 schools in the world. Enjoy it.
It’s number 17.
It's number 17?
@@MrBjorn6 in the world. Yes. Number 1 is University of Oxford. 2 is Harvard. 3 is Cambridge.
Her parents respect her privacy!!!
Congratulations🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
I'm a subscriber before you reach 200 ...yayy
Enjoyed. Congrats on your great results....
CONGRATULATIONS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA YOU DESERVE IT ❤❤❤❤
Your parents saying “岂有此理” for brown’s waitlist is the cutest thing ahahahhaa
aaa congrats!! 💙 i hope you consider making a stats/ec video, we're all curious :)
check pinned comment :)
Omg your parents r so adorable!!!!!❤😊
THIS IS MY DREAM YOU ARE SO AMAZING!!!!!!!!
congratulations 🎉
congrats!!!
Your parents are adorable congratulations ❤🎉
Getting into Princeton is insane congrats 🎉
EMILYYYY!!! The way I screamed when I saw this on my recommended
Where you go to college can define your later life when it comes to costs incurred for your degree. A full ride to Vandy is a great opportunity to not be in debt after you graduate. You have such great options, but not incurring debt is so important to your future.
Ivies offer full financial aid, so a scholarship won't be necessary.
I was watching this on 2x and ur Yale admission part was hilarious
DUDE THATS AMAZING??!! SHARE UR STATS AND EC RN BRO I NEED TO SEE U IN YALE
congratulations and thank you for being motivation💓and what was your sat score?
OMG EMILY UR ON MY FYP
HAHA hi sawooly 🥰
My nephew got into Yale Princeton Cornell Johns Hopkins and University of Michigan last year. But his dream school was Yale so that's where he is!
Damnnn do you know his extracurriculars??? I’m not from America so it’ll be hard for me to get into American universities. Hope they take me✌🏼
@@I_YELL_ALOT Just don't do stuff that you think universities and colleges will like. Do what you like. While it may be good to have MUNs, debates, science and math related stuff, it is important that you show who YOU are. They get thousands of applications with perfect sat scores, grades and academically gifted scholers. But what makes a student stand out is their interests and what sort of qualities they display. From 10th forward, I did more culinary and clay sculpting things with a mix of some English and science (specifically biology) since those are my 2 favorite things to do and 2 favorite subjects. I'm still in high school, but this is the same advice I get from people first hand and online including professionals.
@@salt5711 thank you so much!
Lmao your parents waiting outside of your room waiting to hear is so damn cute
Congrats to you and your family. 金榜题名，人生第一大喜。
Hey sorry about the Stanford one. I got rejected from every single one of these schools except Stanford (international applicant from South Africa). Its weird. But hey, good luck in the ivy league!
How do apply to these schools? Rn I'm in wits but I want to do postgraduate overseas...
did u receive a schlarship
@@LiveYourDreams727 No. I got full financial aid based purely on need.
You are insane 🎉
congrtilation emily
8:05 This moment is everything🥹
Oh how incredible it must feel to get into dream colleges, i am so happy for you. being an Indian so hard to get into good colleges and still now no idea where you'll be going because there is no accepting strategy here only hard entrances or father's hard cash. Nothing in between 😢
What does that have anything to do with being india tho? Genuinely asking
@salt5711
because the scopes aare really low and competetion is really high. For example getting into medical school is really tough i mean out of 21 million application only 50k people are selected and marking is tough, you have to get atleast 600+ out of 720 marks including negative markings and coming to other degrees of bio science there is not as much scope in india as America
@@makeuprudie6540 oh, I thought you meant in terms of getting accepted abroad. But yeah, that makes sense. With Indias population also increasing its becoming increasingly hard especially because education is such a big thing here, I'm planning on studying abroad because of that
im currently going thru this process, ive not reached cut offs of many uni's 😭 waiting to give one more entrance and then hearing back from 2 other uni's. so stressful
@@salt5711International students have much lower chances. Also, affirmative action makes Asians have much lower chances as well. If the student is not international, India’s competition is really tough. An Indian I know was valedictorian and got accepted into Princeton and Yale. His sister got a full scholarship and studied abroad… :)
THE DAD IS SO CUTE
Congratulations to you I wish I could bring the same happiness to my parents but I've failed it's my first failure in life and it's heartbreaking it feels like the end
noo, please don’t say that- i can understand how defeating it can feel to put in so much through high school and not get the results you wanted, but it’s good to keep in mind that college is not the end but only a beginning. you can really get a great education anywhere, and going to an ivy league does not directly translate to success.
@@emilyzhang1002 thank you for your kind words. In my country the competition is considered everything I'm just so tired from all this stress and pressure. Sometimes it feels like to end it all especially when your own parents are not supportive. But I've got no choice but to move forward
But I'll still try to do my best!
keep your head up man@@tired.....247
hey, can you share stats and major? and congrats, great job!!
I was ur like number 1K :D
I really like your message, I always found it weird the obsession Americans have with university names or even like Greek life at uni. Do what’s best for you!!
Good for you though congrats and wish you the best of luck.

Congrats on getting into Yale and Columbia. My Dad had his BS and MA from Columbia, and he got into Harvard for MA but we moved back to NY. He also had a degree from Oxford. I got into NYU for graduate degree. Which school did you choose? Yale or Columbia.
she chose princeton -- better than both yale and columbia! i made the same decision about a decade ago
PLEASE DO A STATS AND ECS VIDEO
check pinned comment!
See you in the fall! 🥳🎉
Damn, your video made me cry.
the yale was so good 😭
Good advice where you go doesn't define who you are. 小小年纪知道宠辱不惊，在二代移民很难得。真羡慕你父母有个这么优秀的女儿。
I have never seen one of these where they were accepted to MIT!!
same ! and U chicago too.
right?? i think the only one i have ever seen on youtube is nina wang lmao
Yeah, MIT is really hard cause they don't even do legacies, so you have to be amazing.
ahahah eu quero tanto sentir ISSO🎉
Did you get any aid or do you have to take out loans?
I am not sure with my major but basically i am intrested in Astrophysics but also computer science. Can you tell how major changing works like when we can change major? also like can i change it even before joining the university
share your stats PLEASE
Clearly impressive, but perhaps I missed in what you plan to major. It seems like you got into a lot of good schools for engineering/sciences/tech and because of that I don’t understand how like Brown and Swathmore fit in
Yes! I applied as a physics major with an intent to minor in fine arts. I’m not completely sure what career path I want to take, and Brown/Swarthmore are both colleges that would give me plenty of room to explore.
@@emilyzhang1002, I hear what you’re saying about wanting to explore, but your major is your primary focus (of course) and when you’re majoring in physics, it’s a serious thing. A minor is nice, but in my humble opinion and not that you asked for advance, if you know you’re going to major in physics, you’re not looking for flexibility at that point.
@@geoffreyk9165 For most of these colleges, you only apply as an intended major, which is really so that incoming freshman can take their first two years to figure out what they want to concentrate in. For example , students at Princeton officially declare their majors at the end of their sophomore year. That being said, while I marked physics as my intended major (because I enjoy it and I think it’s very versatile), that doesn’t mean I do not have flexibility to explore in college. Hope this made sense!
@@emilyzhang1002, Haha, yes, makes total sense- it was exactly the same for me in terms of indicating an intended major, but I guess I was intent on studying engineering from the beginning so there was no turning back. I always advice students to follow their hearts so if you start off in nuclear physics and after the grind of the first two years you decide it’s not for you, there’s no shame in changing to what you think suits you better. However, do keep in mind that it’s harder to switch from say comparative literature to say chemistry. For that reason, I think your probably better of doing the harder electives at the university better respected for its physics program than taking the flexibility. It’s always easier to go back to something flexibility and, some may argue, less academically challenging later than to ‘move up’ to physics later because the underclassmen maths and sciences requirements for physics will be more challenging than those for arts, which means you can count your harder maths and sciences credits if you change to arts, but can’t if you change from arts to physics. Ultimately, that’s one of the main reasons I always advise to go for the best program that suits your personal life that is the most challenging. Hope that makes sense and good luck with your decision.
ur parents are so cute stop
omggggggg wowwwwwwwwww
Pls do an ecs viddd
Am I the only one crying like a baby while watching such videos?
How you show how did studied and what did u do to get into those amazing collage ?!!looking for more tips and informations in ur upcoming videos 😊
WHERE ARE U GOINN CONGRATSS
Thanks!! It was a tough choice, but I ended up committing to Princeton :)
@@emilyzhang1002 So proud of you Emily!! You really did amazing!
@@emilyzhang1002 congrats as long as u love it and are secure about it. Good for u
@@emilyzhang1002glad that I found this answer. Wondering which school you committed between Yale and Princeton
Yale!!!
your parents are so cute....
What was harvard thinking? LOL. congrats!
2:04 BE CAREFUL. A super cute cat is gonna appear.
Damn how much was spent on the admission fees.
A person might figure that getting into Yale and Princeton would mean you would also get Stanford, but not so.
It probably feels really important right now at your age to talk about getting into a high ranking college but in the long run it matters very little. The amount of things you have done before college is like trivial compared to what you could be doing in the next 10 years. The game's not even started for you yet.
so where are u studying now?
whch is your dream school
Do you know extraemily?
Young high school graduates should know it’s the last degree that matters not the first. Is it worth to graduate after 4 years of bachelor degree in debt up to your neck? I have seen so many young peoples starting out in life after 4 years college with so much debt - it’s up to the parents to advise young peoples about college choice especially wanting to go to private colleges like Duke or Ivy league schools etc…
can you please share ur stats
Did u end up picking Yale???
She replied to another comment saying that she committed to Princeton :)
@@Anweshamishraaa Thx! Welp ig I couldn't c her next year then... But still, good for her!!!
@@yifeizhao5880 it was a super tough decision and yale was really hard to let down 😭😭 but i ended up choosing princeton just due to personal circumstances. congratulations, though!
@@emilyzhang1002 I just wanted to congratulate you! That’s pretty impressive and this video has motivated me to continue pushing through high school :)
Hi i am from india
Can you tell me the date to start the application submission and the sat test dates and the timeline of everything from test to form to result
I searched many sites but cant find something related to my questions
You will grow with more confidence and realize how valuable your time is, and you will know you only need to apply 8 schools, maybe?
可以走了😂😂😂
Honestly if I had gotten accepted into Yale, who cares after that
CONGARTSSS OMG!!! U DID A GREAT JOB!!
Yale is my dream school too and I hope to be a part of class of '28 plsplspslplsplspls🙏🙏🙏🙏
OK 你們可以走了（大笑）
It's hilarious that everyone says the same thing: "it does not define you." Okay, thanks for repeating the same thing that everyone else has said.
A full ride to Vanderbilt, Yale, Princeton etc. I hope normal average high school seniors don't watch reaction videos of students like you, that has to be depressing for them....
How do you get in Princeton and Yale and get waitlisted at Brown and Cornell?? Am I missing something? I always considered Brown and Cornell as the "bottom Ivies".
你妈妈说”rejected啦”，我就知道是中国人❤🎉😊
seems as if this video has been done over and over
BTW the nine Colonial Colleges are Harvard 1636, W&M 1693, Yale 1754, Pennsylvania 1740 (also known as PENN), Princeton 1746, Columbia 1754, Brown 1764, Rutgers 1766 and Dartmouth 1769.
Congrats!!!
