Hi, I’m Katie! I'm an international student from Manila, Philippines, living abroad in the US. I'm a new graduate from Cornell University, and I’m excited to work full-time on an education nonprofit I started called IBlieve to help high school IB students around the world. Living + creating my dream life by faith. :)

i got rejected from med school. it was my worst fear and it happened. i'm feeling extremely depressed, hopeless and i honestly can't see the light. God has been helping me, i know He has a better plan but I can't stop crying...i hope in a few years it all will be just a memory and i hope everything will work out....
hii!! Watching ur video now before doing ib makes me feel a little prepared haha 💗💗 but I’ve been trying to find all the ib resources like past papers and syllabuses but I can’t find them. Does anyone know whr I can find them ??
Too bad. You weren’t applying to a particular university, but you were simply looking for status. I suspect that many of your schools perceived that. You should look deeper at the schools to which you apply. What is it you want and what school is the best fit? When you identify the best fit for you and communicate that in your interview, you will much more likely be accepted to the school you want.
I'm not in a position to know for sure, but some of the reports I've been getting give a different picture of an Ivy League education today. They were saying that on the radio the average grade point at Harvard is a 4.0. This girl presents herself well, though, and she seems motivated. She seems like the type destined for great success, as far as I know.
hi im really stressed my dp1 final grades are 3 5s 2 6s and 1 4 and i decided to apply for early descision now i think ill fail and i cannot get admitted to any college, plus my extracurricals are almost none, im so dissapointed in my life
I don't know why you showed up on my feed. But Hokkien is not a dying language. It is a common language in Singapore, Philippines, and southern China. Some Taiwanese people can understand Hokkien. It is not a Southeast Asian dialect. It is a Chinese dialect.
I think it’s important to add if you are in a full IB school and have done MYP then you are more prepared for IBDP but switching to IB from another curriculum in the past 2 years of school can be intense
I got rejected by the best university, but I was able to get three scholarship , I am honestly proud of myself and I do not care about what admission committee wants to say..
Cornell, Dartmouth, Brown, Yale, Princeton seem better than Harvard or Penn just because they are not in major metro areas. Columbia seems horrible because it's in Manhattan. Plus security/crime are major concerns at those 3. I went to Ohio State in Columbus - crime/security should be factored into rankings but its not.
Amazing review of the IB programme, thanks for this insightful and great semi curriculum overview, I have already passed my interview from your knowledge shared here, thank you.
I've know geniuses who went to schools a lot of people would laugh at. And if we are honest, Cornell has the best engineering school in the Ivy League. Period. And other programs too. So whatever to HYPs. Get over yourselves.
Suicide talk was big thing thirty years ago when I was in college. I do feel that Cornell has done a great job making dorm and dining better than most schools and the emphasis on free mental health help onsite. I am sending my son to Cornell soon and thank you for this video!
As soon as you said Collegetown Bagels was on the "right". when you entered Collegetown, I got confused and had to check Google maps. When I was there ( late 80s, early 90s ) and even when I last visited back in 2014, Collegetown Bagels was on the left on the same spot that Ithaca Beer Co. is now. I was not somebody who went to Collegetown Bagels frequently ( was'n't a breakfast person during my college years, nor a coffee person ), but it is kinda sad that the old building it was in was replaced by a building with an ugly black glass facade.
Class of '92 here. I've found myself watching Cornell vids, because of both the hockey team's NCAA playoff game today and an impending visit to Cornell for my wife's ( '94 ) 30th reunion has me nostalgic. Anyway, I'm glad some things never change and they still call Okenshields by the name Okensh*t ( we also called in Chokenshields back in the day ). I guess there is no longer a "Sage Dining" option at Sage Hall. Sage used to be the best place to get food Monday-Friday on the central part of campus ( They served a "McRib"-style sandwich ).
When I talk to a student, I don't ask what school they're going to, I ask what they're studying, why they chose that major, and what their dream job is. That's how I know whether I want to keep in touch with them as potential future employees.
My sister's freshman year roommate at the University of Chicago turned Harvard down for UC because Harvard's acceptance letter opened with "Dear Minority Student". UC's letter started with "Dear Cathy". Couple years later, after a very impressive undergrad career, when she was deciding where to go for her masters', Harvard tried recruiting her, and she told them basically that Harvard was rather weak in her chosen field, and suggested that they really need to get a lid on their institutional conceit.
