Greetings from South Florida and your old boss from way back when. One of my students mentioned this video to me and asked if I knew you. Obviously, I said of course, and went into a long story about when you interviewed for SAAB. I hope you remember what your answer was when we asked why you wanted to join the Admissions Advisory Board ... because you wanted to famous like an Anthony Bourdain type. Well, you have clearly done it and I couldn't be more proud of you. My life has been pretty hectic these last few years so I don't get to check in on your exploits as much, but I was happy to do a deep dive this afternoon and see all the amazing things you have accomplished. And most importantly, congratulations on your nuptials. Please send my regards to Michael, Allie, and your whole family. It is an honor to have been a footnote in your rise to stardom. Keep up being true to yourself. Cheers, Admissions_Daniel
Daniel!!!! YOU are the incredible admissions officer who gave me the chance to create the series I dreamt up!!!! Miss you and think about you often!! 😊🙌🏼
I’m a high school senior and am so glad you posted this video! I live in the West Coast, and am probably going to stay out here, but this is still helpful!
You are so lucky to have met great people right when starting college. I met the absolute worst humans ever my freshman year. My roommate and a friend we met ONLY partied. They ditched me because I took school and sleep seriously and didn’t tank my grades immediately like they did. College can bring out the best and the worst in people. I WISH my social college experience was more like yours. ❤️
Baltimore represent! My sister is a sophomore at Hopkins and loves it there! I know it was the best school for you, but was there anywhere you didn't apply that you wish you did? Also I saw that you filmed dad does my voiceover so I am so excited for that! I hope you do the thing where you line up his voice with your mouth movements again because that is such a cool effect.🤞🤞 Have a great weekend!
Hehe the video with my dad is coming next week! It's a little different from last time but I think it'll make you laugh 😂 !!! And in terms of applications... I don't think there was anyone I wish I had applied to! I was really happy with the entire process :)
@@angiem7725 I'm in Ontario and I believe how it works is that you first get an account from your school with OUAC (application centre), you pick the programs you apply to, most programs and schools do not have an essay or ask for your extracurriculars (there are a few exceptions), standardized tests are typically only required for international students, and your guidance counsellor automatically sends your grades 11-12 marks. Typically admission is based on 6 of your grade 12 level courses (including the prerequisites, then your highest marks).
Lucie, I absolutely love your informational video! About a year ago, I was a senior in H.S., and I underwent the same struggles throughout the strenuous application process. Overall, a great job. :)
I’m a senior in the college application process right now and this video was super helpful! Btw I recently discovered that my friend, Becca Fink, is your cousin! How crazy is that?!
I suppose the schools don’t have to honor your request (or if you’re very different students it’s possible they wouldn’t), but we got lucky and every school made the same decision!
It's so crazy but when you visit a school makes ALL the difference. I remember being adamant that I DID NOT want to go a certain school because it was "too small." But when I visited it was a gorgeous spring day and they were having a campus wide scavenger hunt! The campus just looked so fun and inviting! As you can guess, I went to that school. Marist College class of 2013 ❤🦊
can you talk about your experience with tuition/loans (if you had any)? a lot of people can't even apply to the schools you mentioned due to how expensive they are. would be nice to have some insight
I’m at a private college, and I don’t know if this helps, but don’t let cost keep you from applying! Private schools tend to give a lot more financial aid than public universities!
I think she mentioned in a previous video that she joined a sorority! (I forgot which video though sorry) might've been the Long Distance vid because I remember her talking about how they were both able to grow up while they were apart from each other during college... Hope she makes a vid about it someday!
I’m curious why you HAD to say you were applying with a sibling? Was it a requirement or just a personal choice based on your desire to attend together?
I have a twin sister as well and we’re both applying to the same colleges however one college sent me an email that I applied twice with slightly different names, I feel like I should mention this on my apps before I apply to my reach schools
I started on the pre-med track with courses leading towards a major in neuroscience. I loved everything about it and found the classes fascinating, I just decided that I didn’t want to be a doctor after all.
You might not see this but I really hope you do. My twin sister and I are also applying to colleges together; how do we let them know that we want the same decisions? Is it through our essays or ...
How did you two get waitlisted at Duke with a 35 and a 33 ACT score? I’m speechless. I have heard it’s basically up there with Harvard but in North Carolina
Hello! I’m thinking about Emory because of its pre-health opportunities and location. What were your thoughts of the school if/when you visited or heard about anything? Thanks ❤️
Omg loveeee this video! Could you make a video on how you made such strong friendships so quickly, how you maintained those, and just friendship tips in general? ❤️❤️
Great video. Dartmouth/Stanford here. I love when you said “modern advice.” Since I was in school for most of the 80s, I’d say modern advice escapes me. 🤔. One consideration for some is weather. Make sure you are ok with the weather. I knew 6 people who had to escape NH immediately because it was so freaking cold. 😂 it was great hearing about your admissions experience. Have a wonderful weekend.
I just decided that I didn't want to after all 🤷♀️ I couldn't really see myself going through 10+ more years of schooling or having a job indoors in a hospital setting!
Johns Hopkins is my dream school and I recently applied ED! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It was so helpful💖
Aw me too! Good luck sis, we got this!!!
@@dearorthodoxgirl you too 😄😄
Omg same see you there
Me too!!
Same here! Fingers crossed and hoping for the best!

Me being a senior in High school has been waiting for this video forever. Thanks Lucie love ya!

Not to be confused. I had fun Thu night through Tues each week. They were just completely out of control...

I agree, I thought it was so cool when she talked with Michael's voice last time so I hope she does it again with her dad.
I can't wait to see that video, hopefully she does the voice switching again

I literally was just taking an application break after submitting 3. Your timing is impeccable 😌💓
best of LUCK!💓💓💓
This is one of my favorite videos you have ever done!!!!
OMG wow honored. THANKS, KATE!
As a Canadian this process sounds crazy!!!! Very interesting!
How is the Canadian process different than the US one? Just curious

@@caseythecow Oh wow. Thanks for the info! Sounds so much easier than the U.S

hehe so funny!!! love becca!! I'm so glad you found this video helpful!
Wow I didn’t know that you could apply as a pack deal because my brother and I want to go to the same school. This video was very helpful tysm 🙌🏼.
I suppose the schools don’t have to honor your request (or if you’re very different students it’s possible they wouldn’t), but we got lucky and every school made the same decision!
How do we let the schools know that we are applying together?
Good video , informative for anyone thinking about college and choosing a place also.

YES!!! It makes such a difference what the vibe is like on campus when you visit.
Hi! For Marist College, do they offer full ride scholarship? Does it have a religious affiliation?
Sucks that JHU admission is much more competitive now than 10 years ago....
Yeah it’s gotten incredibly tough!
This is such a great and informational video!! Especially as someone who is starting that process!! Thanks! :)
YAY!!! I'm glad it was helpful!

ahh great video! I’m so glad to be done with this process LOL
Hello Lucie! My friend Harper and I really like to watch your videos! We think you are really cool. Peace out ✌🏼
AWWWW THANKS!
@@luciebfink Are you planning on doing another bullet journal video? I LOVED your last one!!
go hop :) lots of love from class of 2022!
SO MUCH LOVE!
Hi from a post doc fellow at JHU medical school!
HI!!!!!
Yay I’m from Maryland!
I go to American and I love it!!!
Thank you for addressing your privileges in life.. I think it is super self-aware of you and is very considerate
❤️❤️❤️❤️very important!
omg what i really want to go to cornell, johns hopkins, or penn! that’s so cool that you were interested in them as well
Lol I really am at Hopkins watching this video on how to get in as if I haven’t actually seen Lucie at Hopkins???
hahaha
Valuable rundown!! Were you ever in Greek life while you were in college?
I think she mentioned in a previous video that she joined a sorority! (I forgot which video though sorry) might've been the Long Distance vid because I remember her talking about how they were both able to grow up while they were apart from each other during college... Hope she makes a vid about it someday!
Yes, I was in Phi Mu!!!
I’m curious why you HAD to say you were applying with a sibling? Was it a requirement or just a personal choice based on your desire to attend together?
Personal choice!!
My parents met at American University!
I’m a freshman at JHU!
yayyy! Are you remote right now?
I have a twin sister as well and we’re both applying to the same colleges however one college sent me an email that I applied twice with slightly different names, I feel like I should mention this on my apps before I apply to my reach schools
YES!!!
Did you start studying medicine? If so, what did you dislike about it? Loved this video, Lucie 🥰🥰
I started on the pre-med track with courses leading towards a major in neuroscience. I loved everything about it and found the classes fascinating, I just decided that I didn’t want to be a doctor after all.
@@luciebfink 💓💓 thank you, i’m planning on studying medicine 🤞🏻
Ayyy im a sophomore at Hopkins!! Go Blue Jays!
Who color coordinated the books? I love it!
Michael did!😅😅😅
@@luciebfink .. I find it to be well put together, and very aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
It was so good
I'm already in college!! Still watched and enjoyed this video though haha!!
YAY THANKS FOR WATCHING!!
You might not see this but I really hope you do. My twin sister and I are also applying to colleges together; how do we let them know that we want the same decisions? Is it through our essays or ...
Me watching this video 2 years out of college 👁👄👁
1st time I am watching your video I like it btw love from india😇
omg hi welcome!!!
@@luciebfink hello and namastey🙌
How did you two get waitlisted at Duke with a 35 and a 33 ACT score? I’m speechless. I have heard it’s basically up there with Harvard but in North Carolina
are you saying that should've got in or you're surprised they were waitlisted instead of rejected?
Hello! I’m thinking about Emory because of its pre-health opportunities and location. What were your thoughts of the school if/when you visited or heard about anything? Thanks ❤️
If you happen to read this,
YOU ARE LOVED 💞😊
Omg loveeee this video! Could you make a video on how you made such strong friendships so quickly, how you maintained those, and just friendship tips in general? ❤️❤️
What do you think about getting an MBA?
I think it's great for people who want to go into business jobs where they're required - OR people who want a career shift!
First like....🥰
What do you ask for when you get your hair done? It’s so pretty!!
Aww thank you!! Color wise I do blonde / buttery yellow balayage, and for cut/blowouts I request beach waves!!!
I am a senior in Texas applying for universities perspective
What do colleges like to see in terms of extracurriculars? (More of them, more time commitment, etc.)
I think more dedicated interest in 1 particular area is more powerful than loads of meaningless activities!!

YES that is so true.
Why didnt you go into medicine? :)
I just decided that I didn't want to after all 🤷♀️ I couldn't really see myself going through 10+ more years of schooling or having a job indoors in a hospital setting!
Plz give me a heart ... little but biggest fan😊😊
