Thank you so much for the effort that you are putting on these videos, they are so useful! I'm an international student and you would help us a lot If you make a video of your essays too!! 🥺 Keep it up! 😁☺️🙌🏾
This video is like none other dude. You really told it good. Other videos have just told me to write yourself but not just let it loose. The best piece of advice was the how anything in HS will not just better me in the future of college, but also life. UPenn is my dream man thanks a lot.
yoooo that's insaneeeee. im so glad you enjoyed watching it, and hopefully, it helped in some way. UPenn was my dream, and now, I'm living it. But, we all got so many dreams in life, it's all part of building our journey's. keep at it! you got this!!! :)
I appreciate how you stressed the essay/communication/personality aspect of application. I never expected to get into one of the “top 5” schools in the country because of my stats (which seemed way out of range), but I truly feel that this criteria helped me. I would add that leading/creating rather than just participating is another distinguishing factor that many overlook.
Hey Matthew! Fellow college freshman here. Just wanted to say I love all the work you put into your editing, scripting, and storytelling. Your editing is so damn clean, and the quality from your first video to now is vastly improved! Also, I love how you split the script across all the different locations and backgrounds. It works really really well. Here's to a successful spring semester! (Just wanted to say, I'm a proud og sub from that first college board vid lol. You're doing great stuff)
This is really encouraging. It's important to remember that colleges are looking for potential in passion, not necessarily in achievement. They're looking for a real human, not a school robot.
Hi！Matthew Su，I am a high school student from China, my dream school is always penn, but actually I don’t have enough brave to tell others that I’m going to apply UPenn since I’m not confident and I just always care about other’s’ view. I have joined a lot of online info sessions of UPenn, but to be honest, I learned mostly from your channel, not only the information about Penn, but also your passion about your life. Thanks again！I’m more steadfast to my dream now, I’m going to apply UPenn this year, I will absolutely try my best to become one of your alumni in the future, believe me, I will！
also I completely agree with the idea of doing what you’re genuinely interested in doing. I feel like so many people in hs start doing random things just for the sake of the application and it creates a really fake and kinda toxic environment
Thank you so much for this video. As a sophomore in highschool, this video gives me the motivation to work harder and has served as a little reminder that my experiences in highschool should be filled with my PASSION. It would be great if you could one day read your college essay as a video :)
This video was really great! Really love the part about the college essay. I've heard so many people say so many different things about writing it and I had to sit back and do what you said when writing my essay, probably the most I've ever been vulnerable about myself with anything. Along with that was just writing about what I care about and doing things that were fun for me!! Great advice and a little update, I got an interview with Penn!!
Honestly I finished my college applications and rejected from my dream school (rice) but this gives me hope for transferring. This dudes vid is a mood hahaha
Probably the best video I've ever watched regarding this topic, not only because of the advice itself but how this video felt incredibly entertaining to watch
ur editing is very engaging im sure that was ur goal. i love how put the entire writing ur college essay mindset, ur essay was very passionate and thats how it shld be
Dude, this video was… Inspiring. You do have a great future. You’re a good communicator. We probably are not going to met each other, never, in our lives. But it’s crazy to think that this video inspired me a lot and influenced my application. Thank you
what’s up man I watched a bunch of your videos and it’s making me really excited to go to penn! quality is great and vibes are great. I wanna start vlogging so I was wondering what equipment you use for filming and recording audio?
So randomly stumbled upon this video, haven't watched college related videos in a while now. I'm applying to colleges this fall and suddenly as 2022 started, it got to me. I've been in my head reconsidering all my EC's, grades and stuff. Just wanna say thank you because this video made me feel much more confident about the future :)
Awesome video Matthew! I totally would have loved your video when I was doing my college research and I’m so glad you’re sharing these things now especially when it only seems to be getting more competitive 😅 Keep it up !
its crazy you only have 3k subs, from a video like this i totally would have expected hundreds of thousands of views :) amazing job thanks so much for this, could you explain more on college essay tips/reading yours?
This video is so inspiring!!! Thank you so much for explaining and motivating, i really loved how you edited it! UPenn is my dream university, thanks a LOT! I would really like to read your college essay!
Thank you so much for this video! I'm also hoping to get into Wharton and i've been so worried about "not being enough" but this your story has really made me feel more confident.
Loved The vid it honestly was very helpful. But if everyone is becoming president of everything then how do I stand out. So far I moved up a grade, became captain of my football team and participate in several muns plus i got Duke of Edinburgh silver. But this is no way enough right. Furthermore I got to a British school in Spain so I think that might downgrade my chances
Hey Matthew, I think your advice is absolutely phenomenal. I am currently a freshman aiming for some top schools and have heard over and over that you need to do “what you love.” The only problem is that I have had a lot of trouble figuring out what I actually like to do. I am apart of many extracurriculars, all of which I like, but as you said you need to be different. Maybe you would have some advice?
Hey there bro. Love your video. Really interested in reading your essay. I'm not a great writer. Would like to learn about how to write the best essay.
Hi Matthew! I absolutely love your channel and videos, even if I discovered them not so long ago. I wanted to ask you if in your opinion (and if you have an idea, how) I can join the DECA even if I'm an Italian girl who lives in Italy. My dream is to be accepted into the Upenn, even if I'm only in 10th grade. ✨☺️✨
do what you love. do what others won’t. honestly, work on something that ur really into. and if you don’t have something you find interesting yet, go exploring! don’t try to build ur resume. if you keep diving deeper into what you enjoy, it’ll build itself. you still got lots of time so now… make friends w ur teachers, ur classmates, ur lunch ladies, and be urself :)
I am thinking about starting an investment club at my hs. How should I go about doing this and what exactly should I do in it? Any other advice will be helpful.
you basically said SATs, ACTs, & APs are standards if you want to be considered... what about if someone worked as hard as they could during the pandemic, has a 4.5 weighted and 4.0 unweighted GPA and had multiple interesting extracurriculars, passion projects, and leadership opportunities but NO test scores? How would they get in? It's really disturbing to think about; do you think schools really DO care about a lack of test scores even though they state "test optional" during covid?

Hey Matthew! Please can I read your essay?🙂🤝

I am thinking about starting an investment club at my hs. How should I go about doing this and what exactly should I do in it? Any other advice will be helpful.
Amazing video
you basically said SATs, ACTs, & APs are standards if you want to be considered... what about if someone worked as hard as they could during the pandemic, has a 4.5 weighted and 4.0 unweighted GPA and had multiple interesting extracurriculars, passion projects, and leadership opportunities but NO test scores? How would they get in? It's really disturbing to think about; do you think schools really DO care about a lack of test scores even though they state "test optional" during covid?
Most schools are going test blind for 2223. The trend started because of Covid. before the pandemic, test scores were necessary
