asking UCLA students for college application advice ☆
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 чер 2024
- btw this video was filmed in fall 2021 and i finally finished editing it… yeah it’s been a rough quarter. i’m sure college apps are on the mind for a lot of you bc the results are coming out around now. hopefully this can help those of you who are applying in the next year!
this video covers a range of college application tips and advice concerning essays, academics (including stats like SAT and GPA), extracurricular activities, making a college list, and considering options like community college. I hope that by interviewing my peers at UCLA, i can provide a more diverse and well-rounded look at the application process, while highlighting some of the most important advice that was shared by many people. good luck in this process, and try not to get too caught up in toxic competition. ♡

Hey, it's been 2 years. We miss you. ❤
Hi Jasmine! It’s been 7 months and I think I’m speaking for everyone when I say I hope you are doing well during your break and I’m super excited for when you come back! Take your time, we are all here for you :D
I miss herr
It's been a year. I'm just concerned about her health+hope shes doing fine
I wish her the best. I’m only new here but you are a lifesaver and I will wait as long as needed until you want to come back
I miss her
@amazingness7513 i thinks she is okay, just in a new phase in life without UA-cam. You know she was more than 7 years on here and UA-cam can take a lot of time, so now she is just focusing on other things in life. Her youtube description says she graduated, exited her "influencer era" and will post from time to time when she feels like it:)
It's been a year since she posted and I hope she's doing great'
Unasked for tips from a hs senior who finished all her apps and got brutally rejected from her top choice: (1) don’t put too much sweat into you application. If you’re crying and getting sick over it every night just from applying, it’s not worth the stress (2) do not. Do not! Compare yourself to other kids that got in!!! Their stats will be better than yours!!! That doesn’t mean you’re not a promising applicant and it especially doesn’t mean you’re worth less as a person!! (3) apply early!! Whether it’s early decision, early action, or you just submit your regular decision application a few months early do it!! It saves you a lot of stress and you’ll get your decisions earlier so you can start focusing on important stuff like financial aid, scholarships, housing, etc. (4) only apply to schools you actually want to go to, seriously. I applied to 4 schools and an extra safety school with a free application and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. Do your research before throwing a $60 app fee to a school that doesn’t even have your major. (5) don’t feel pressured tell people where you’re applying. The adults in my life were always asking where I was applying and it was annoying!! College is about you! Your applications are no ones business other than your own!! Don’t let their judgements overinfluence your life choices. If you really have to tell them- lie!! Tell them you applied to your local state college whether you actually did or not- if you tell them you applied to an ivy or top school they will never, NEVER leave you alone ((even after you get rejected))!!! (6) have fun lol. College is only 4 years of your life (that’s a really short time!!)- it does not define your life or your accomplishments or your value
thank you so much! You literally answered every single doubt I had!
thank you so much for these!! -fellow senior who also got rejected :)
Thank u so much for this advice! I prolly don’t sound like myself but yea lol thank you. I’m going to be a senior after this summer and I’m thinking of starting now with like drafts and stuff for my apps and I don’t even know like where to start like what should be on there and stuff like that I might look that up
Hi jasmine, it’s been 14 months since this was uploaded, I hope you’re doing fantastic at UCLA! This is the end of your junior year I believe so congratulations, you’re almost finished! Life is crazy and I fully understand why you don’t upload anymore, your previous videos have been helping me so much and I hope that maybe one day you might return. Best of luck sincerely a viewer
I heard she graduated
@@Liv.283 She did!! so happy for her!! Did u see her insta post?
As a sophomore in high school, I'm starting to think about college and I feel like this video was super helpful! Thank you Jasmine and everyone who was interviewed
From a senior who finished his applications, I would start applying to scholarships because even if you don’t think you’ll get the money initially, you start thinking about who you are and your interests early on and how you can write it out (since some scholarships require essays). This helped me because I didn’t get confused about how to show “me” in an essay when applications were due; I already figured most of it out when I was applying to scholarships my junior year. So basically you get more practice writing about yourself and you can recycle some essays for the actual applications!
@@kevingc537 Heyo! A question for both of you (If you don't mind-)
How tough would you say high school was for you? Tips?
How do you apply for scholarships?
When writing your application to get into college, anything we should be aware of?
And finally: What's your favorite color :D
It would mean a lot to me if you could answer them if you don't, that's fine too!
Sincerely, an 8th grader
@@ImmortalsArentHappy 1. High school was initially kinda easy because freshman and sophomore year I only had tot eh do the bare minimum. Junior and senior year was much more difficult cause you're doing more AP classes and becoming much more involved in extracurriculars so maintaining that balance was not easy.
2. Collegeboard has a scholarship search engine where you can type keywords and get access to a list of hundreds of scholarships. I didn't find those helpful because either too many people apply (especially with a higher scholarship amount) so I had no chance. I got scholarship money from local scholarships and asking my counselors for any they know of, and also search for extremely specific scholarship to your circumstance (like on your race, career interests, state, etc.)
3. If the number of applications for every college keeps increasing, then you really have to understand that even with the most amazing grades and ECs and essays, you are not guaranteed to even colleges you'll be easily accepted into. You could be rejected from your safety, and then accepted to your target or dream (and vice versa). This year and last year, acceptance rates have just dropped and admission officers are having a harder time just trying to admit the best students when there are so many talented students, so keep that in mind.
4. Blue
Don't worry too much about applying for college now when you're going to be a freshman in high school; just try to get used to the new environment and workload and exploring new clubs. You can then get more in depth with college applications and scholarships and financial aid.
@@kevingc537 Alright, thank you so much! I'll take this advice and utilize it the best I can.
Also, my favorite color is either blue-ish teal or pinkish-purple ;)
i'm here watching as a highschool freshman right now and i really needed this
Hi Queen~ Its been 4 months, hope everything is okay and that you come back soon. Take your time, we're all here for you.
i thought i was the only one who noticed
@@annabethchase4582 same, I hope she’s just on break and if she is hopefully she’s ok!
@@Vira8734 I checked instagram and she’s on break! Her mental health was getting pretty bad because people at school and in public recognized her. Not only was she being followed online, but in person, too. One person even announced her location and she was bombarded.
I also miss her amazing vids
@@Moonblossom08 Yea, I hope she takes her time but also want her to upload so badd :(
hey jaz, it’s been a while and we hope everything is ok but we miss your content so much! take your time and i’ll be waiting. - ur favorite fan, lilly:)
been following your channel since past 5 years , COME BACK GIRL WE MISS YOU
I'm a middle school student, but i have friends that are already making college plans and high school plans to look best on applications... this video felt really reassuring to just breathe and take it day by day! amazing as always and hope you're doing well!
A word of advice from a current college student: You are doing just fine. Do your homework, spend time on your hobbies, and have fun with friends and family. If you really want to, get involved in extracurriculars you are interested in, not because of future college apps, but because sports/clubs are fun. Please don’t stress out right now you will have plenty of that in college 😀
Jesus loves you
hs senior who got into ucla this year, trust me just have fun and don't think too much about college, 8th grade was definitely the best year of my life lol
Hi Jasmine, we hope you are having the best time of your life! We miss you so much, come back soon queen
i miss your videos sm! i especially love your vlogs, and i’d love to see more if you ever have time🙌🏻
Thank you for including transfer students into the conversation ❤. I am a transfer student, and we are forgotten too often. I'm awaiting my decision in April, and I wish the best to all my other transfer homies!!
👋🧸
girl i MISS YOUUU, seeing you be productive always helps me to be productive. lets just say, i could really use a new vid right about now (,:
Hopefully she didn't disappear or smth. We miss you Jasmine
Congrats on Graduation! 🎉 :)
Hey girl... It's been 5 months since your last video. We miss you and we hope you're doing well. 💌
hey it's been about over a year since you uploaded this video and i just wanna say i hope you are doing well mentally etc and that i miss your vids so i hope when you do decide to come back that you will be the best version or the healthier version of yourself
I don't know if anybody will see this, but you've genuinely changed the way I do everything, I'm a lot more organized, happier and productive, I've started trying harder in school and taking notes. (first time actually taking them) I just wanted to get this out there and say what I've been thinking, thank you!
heyo its been 6 months I really love your videos and I hope you didnt quit and hope that you come back soonnnn! TAKE UR TIME THO
Hi Jasmine! I hope you're doing well during your break
may I just say honestly... YOUR EDITING IS AMAZING!!!! i undrestand that would've taken HOURS! thank you so much for all of your hard work! It reall shines through
Haha I love this! It’s so professionally done! Not to mention a really smart idea. So impressive 🙌❤️
Profile picture change 🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 come back Jasmine
Yes someone noticed
I’m a high school junior and with the idea of college apps already being drilled into my head day in and day out, this video gave me better insight in what I have coming soon. Starting to think about college is a must but as a student who’s a very slow learner, take it from me and go at your own pace. DO NOT RUSH YOUR PATH TO COLLEGE! Always think step by step because it will then become a train wreck for you. For those entering or currently in high school, take the chance and review whatever the f*ck it is that you actually want to learn and throw in some challenging or unknown classes you may or may not enjoy the idea of. Taking random classes with the idea of you not failing in gives the impression to many that you wish to increase your spectrum of curiosity and skill set that you want to build for your own self. If you fail a class thinking at the beginning you may not fail if you tried out, it gives a ‘heads up’ to yourself like “hey, this a landmark of where you stand academically and personally. Maybe this class wasn’t just right and I may need a class of a (higher/lower) difficulty in this and I need to step (up/down) from here.” Suggest yourself of how you study, what classes make you feel the best in, and what is personally dragging you down. That’s my advice. Hope it helps set your mindset on where you wanna be currently. :]
As a fellow junior, I approve this message even though I have no idea where to even start! Class of 2023!
hey jasmine 🤍 i love your videos a lot and i hope your break from youtube is treating you well (i’m assuming you’re on a break) we miss you but take enough time as you need on break
We miss you so much I hope all is well and your having a great time in uni
Hey Jasmine! It’s been over 3 months, hope you are okay! :)
(Almost a year... come back we miss you so much!!)
where did this woman go :(
I love the professionality of her videos so much
I’m actually subscribed to Jason so I was surprised to see him in this video 😂
@safwiwiwiwiiw his channel name is "waddle" ua-cam.com/channels/6KgiT_iTtx1OULAPJMkbUg.html
Hi Jasmine, this came out at an interesting time, just a day before UCLA decisions were released. Now, a month later, as a fan of you from the start of high school, I just wanted to say, I committed to UCLA! It's been a journey and I just wanted to thank you so much for being a tiny part of it
as a high school sophomore, this was super helpful! love the different perspectives this video has :)
Same with you👋😎
it’s been a while but i still come back and binge your videos :)) i hope you’re doing well and happy 2024
Hi! Just want to say we all hope that you’re ok and doing well!! We miss you and hope you’ll be able to come back soon!
Gang it's been a year and 8 days WHERE YOU ATTTTT???
CONGRATS ON YOUR GRADUATION JASMINE!!! I can't believe you've already graduated, been a while!
Such a helpful and insightful video! It's great to hear advice directly from UCLA students. Jasmine, your videos are always so informative and genuine. Thanks for sharing this valuable information! 🎓📚
Is Jasmine coming back to youtube? I miss her :(
Hey girl hyb! Hope ur doing great with uni, obv u arent comming back to UA-cam, but even then idk if your present in social midea, have a great life gurl!
Loved the video ❤️✨ all the students seem so open-minded and cool in general
Yeah l want to study there🤩🤩🤩👋
this is really nice! since people have different perspectives and experiences, its nice to hear different opinions and form something after hearing everything♡♡
thank you so much for this video
I've been watching your channel starting at a young age, and I have to say your content quality has risen IMMENSELY. I can't wait to watch this !
You are totally sure her video always made me more motivated.
everyone seems genuinely sweet I wanna be friends with them
It’s kinda crazy to believe that I’ve been watching you since i was in 6th grade and I’m about to be in 11th
Jason is so cool! Great to randomly see him again.
Thanks for making this video!It would be very helpful for coming collage applications in the future!
Yeah it gave me more motivation to study there👋
The reason she disappeared is because people started recognizing her from UA-cam, and since she’s introverted, it was a stressful experience. She always feels like she’s being watched. One of the worst incidents that happened was when someone posted in their Snapchat story, “Studyquill is at [insert dining hall here]. This incident caused intense social anxiety, and she became paranoid about her safety. The anxiety led to more depressive episodes, and a loss of motivation for making videos.
I got this info from her instagram.
This is disheartening to hear. I wish people could mind their business and respect her privacy. She's just there to learn :(
Did she not know that when she started making UA-cam videos? That she would get recognized 🧐not invalidating her experience but that’s given when you put yourself out there
@@thegirlwhoreads6217 I think that it’s less that she didn’t know and more that she didn’t expect it to affect her as much as it did. If you have anxiety that can be really debilitating.
hi jasmine! i love your videos so much and i always rewatch them. i hope you are doing well and i cannot wait until you upload more videos!
I really love it! I been waiting for you to uploads for moths!! Thank you! 💖💖💖
Hinnew friend here👋
miss you!!💗
I feel called out as a junior but also feel like this was well deserved for me.
Hi! I'd only just started watching your vids not too long before you current hiatus (presumably due to school; we totally get it. do ya thing, love!), and I just wanted to drop off a note to say that I'm patiently awaiting The Return of the StudyTube Queen.
And if you decide to wait longer (or maybe even not return), just know that I'm genuinely happy for you as long as you're happy with what you decide. Enjoy your studies and your life. Big prayers up for your health, safety, and happiness! 🙇♂🙏
hope everythings alright jasmine! we love you
I loved this different style of video!! It's so well edited and put together
You are right hi new friend here 👋
Rlly well edited it a flowed together 💜
Joy's name suits her so well! So cute :)
I love how I’m literally about to start eighth grade and have suddenly started thinking about all of the high school and college stuff coming for me in the future. Like, one time during the seventh grade year I literally googled how I can start studying for the MCAT in middle school 😂.- Yeah, I’m crazy sometimes. I actually don’t think I’ll pursue medicine, but I do want to pursue something science based (while keeping a small business as a hobby, maybe I’ll take online business courses in high school). Right now, all I know is that I’ll most likely need science prerequisite for whatever I do choose to peruse, so I know I need to apply to a lot of science courses in high school. Off topic, but I just realized that at the end of this video I got an ad saying “The MCAT is HARD!”
Edit: I’m saving this video for when I do have college apps, though!
If there are any black students who are out of state and planning on going to UCLA, I am willing to answer questions about living in California. I’m not from LA but San Diego, and I lived there my whole life up until last July. I can add some insight on living in California as a black woman, or just in general.
I am not a black woman
@Victor Someone got the joke
Hi! I am a black girl from MD and I am planning on applying to UCLA this fall. I would love some insight! Do you have Instagram? It might be easier to communicate on that if possible.
I have a question as a black male. I mean, not that that fact matters but what is UCLA like? I’ll definitely be checking out some more of the videos on this amazing channel because I believe they have some about their experiences of UCLA. But because I’m literally gonna be a senior in highschool after this summer, I don’t know where to start like at all and I guess I wanna start looking into some colleges.
@@jupiter_f1185 yea same do u have an Instagram? I’m in a difficult situation rn so I might not be able to communicate as freely which I’ll explain later but it would be nice to further communicate.
Psychobiology sounds like a very interesting major. Does anyone know the details of a program like that?
I'd love to know
Same
it's basically premed requirements + psychology + biology: www.psych.ucla.edu/undergraduate/undergraduate-student-services/majors-minors/psychobiology-major-for-students-who-entered-ucla-as-freshmen/
@@studyquill thank you!
can you do an updated "whats in my backpack" and healthy school lunches and snacks?
Please come back I really miss you and I love you
Please come back
I’ll soon be applying to study in the UK and this video could not show up at a more convenient time. Thanks Jasmine! (Hope I’m spelling your name right)

Hey girlie- its been 8 months and I totally understand if you just don't want to post. But were here and happy to talk. :) Also who else thinks that her videos are giving @Linh Truong in 2020 which I honestly love
As a transfer student I’m so happy to see other transfer students speaking out on their experience and how they could figure out what they want to do before committing to something. It really is something I think there should be less stigma about, so thanks for bringing awareness 😊
Thank you once again for the lovely video. Hope you have a beautiful day :)
Yes it is really lovely 😊👋
its really nice hearing advice and personal experiences from multiple people! also love the louie zhong music
Why does joy seem like the most amazing person to hang out with
