- How do you get into the Ivy League? Better yet, how do you guarantee acceptance into to the Ivy League? Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia... doesn't matter... in this video, I'll explain exactly what you need to do to ensure you get into the school of your dreams. There are 3 major concepts you need to understand to ensure you stand out. After that, concentrate on building the Funnel level-by-level - starting from the top... all the way down.
If you want hands-on help, reach out. I offer mentoring, coaching, essay services, interview prep, application feedback and more. The earlier you start, the more of an edge you'll get. Email me at spoonfedstudy@gmail.com
Concept 1: Don't focus on the Ivy League
Concept 2: The Espresso Shot
Concept 3: Focus on the Stories
Concept 4: The Funnel Method
WHO AM I?
I have spent most of my life thinking about learning, discipline and productivity. I have an undergraduate degree from Harvard University, a medical degree from the Yale School of Medicine and finished residency at a Harvard-affiliated hospital. I am now a board-certified doctor practicing in the US. This entire channel is dedicated to the art and science of learning, productivity and success. Stick with me and I promise you too will achieve your goals.

Your advices are really genuine and straight forward which is rare these days.
The 3rd concept really underscores how screwed up admissions into the top universities is: The rich probably spend a ton of money on consultants early on in their lives (before high school) to hold their hands to help guide them on how to craft the perfect 'story'. Strict objective merit (i.e. standardized tests) are really the only fair criteria for admissions. Great video though.
Wrong
Did you not hear the “first-generation, low income” part? That’s literally the core of the story 😂😂 wild how slow you sre
As an international student from Brazil, I'm quite confused about how schools assess academic rigor, especially considering the American standard of difficulty. I would appreciate it if someone could clarify this for me. I'm enrolled in a kind of technical course that includes some subjects typically seen in the early years of college. I'll list my high school subjects to give an idea of how rigorous my high school education might be for American colleges:
Mandatory subjects repeated every semester:
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Physics
- Brazilian and World History
- Sociology
- Arts
- Physical Education
- Spanish
- Portuguese
- English
- Mathematics
- Geography
Technical subjects:
*Sophomore Year:
- Electricity and Magnetism 1
- Technical Drawing
- Dimensional Metrology
- Occupational Safety
- Professional Ethics
*1st Semester Junior Year:
- Electricity and Magnetism 2
- AutoCAD (Computer-Aided Design)
- Machine Elements
- Mechanical Processes
- Linear Electronics
- Technology and Resistance of Materials
*2nd Semester Junior Year:
- Mechanical Processes 2
- Electrical Systems and Machines
- Electrical Installations for Buildings
- Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems
- Digital Electronics
*1st Semester Senior Year:
- Power Electronics
- Machinery and Equipment Maintenance
- Industrial Automation
- Quality Maintenance Management
- Electronic Welding
I'm sorry for the lengthy comment, but I'm truly lost in this college admissions process.
Great video! Thanks so much!
My dad and mom are also doctors! Thanks for the video :)
currently a junior and i'm not expecting to get into any top schools, however i really like your first point. college is just a small part of someones life and isn't the final determining factor, your direction/goal is more important. i believe that i can get to where i want without going to a top school (for right now i just want to be financially stable, have a job i enjoy, have enough money to buy some things i want, travel and just enjoy life honestly.) of course depending on the field it will be harder, and top colleges do indeed give better resources and networking. but the school is not what makes someone successful nesscessarily, as it largely depends on the student. i currently still don't really know what i want to do with my life, but i want to study something in stem like cs or kinda related to stem like economics. both are pretty flexible majors. i will keep working on myself and do my best with the opportunities that i have access to.
Focus on good study habits; once you have it down , it’s actually easy to
Most people don’t know how to study
I swear to god, as an international, clueless student, this guy feels like a god-sent angel
Great video. I would really enjoy hearing your story. Have you ever considered making a video about your application?
he already did
after this video, i have concluded that i am in no way a fit for ivys and my apps weren’t good enough. i still need to train. maybe grad school?
amazing video
Ideas shared are true for people in developed countries.... For Developing and underdeveloped countries people are very much absorbed into making livlihood. They wont care about the society, cleanliness, campaigns of a high schooler..... its a different world.
Third, I have been waiting
How do you draw on your video?
What hardware & software do you use?
How does admission officers compare stories ? everyone has a story....
Fourth!
dang, second
Lie: You don't need a good "coffee machine" to cook good coffee 😉

Ummm, consistency issue. "Some dude who wants to buy a lambo?" at 1:20 mark and the illustration is clearly not a lambo but a bugatti?
Lol, you’re that guy😂
