    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

    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!

      @caseythecow 3 роки тому +1

      @@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).

    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 ❤🦊

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.
