2020 College Decision Reactions (14 colleges, lots of crying lol) 

Hey guys! I recently posted a video of a week in my life at Georgia Tech! Plz check that video out if you have any questions about tech!!

This is actually my best friend and she is the smartest person I know! She deserved to be accepted to every school, so proud 🥺

Jeez this was emotional to watch. I'm so glad it worked out, but jeez, this is scary.

It’s horrifying, having an application that is that good and getting rejected and waitlisted.

What I got from this video was that your family surrounded you, every step of the way. and that is the best thing!! my son is a senior this yr and his process is getting ready to start So happy for you, my 2nd son's dreams school in UW Madison. Good luck to you in your future hun. and GO PACK GO!!!

Her stats are absolutely amazing and she is obviously smart, but schools usually don't look for the perfect student, yes they do look at your grades, and of course those are important, but they also look at where you are from, your background, and all that stuff because they want a unique class, and another thing is that with your application you need to make your admissions officer feel something, wether it's you make them laugh or cry, or really anything, this isn't hate, it's just for the people that think that grades are the only thing that matter

If you guys have any questions just comment them below, I'd love to answer! I can make a more detailed stats/application process video if you want!

This video makes me wanna curl up in a ball and get thrown into the sea lol. gg for staying so positive!!

This makes NO sense ur resume is perfect

UAB is SUCH an awesome school. the colleges that rejected/waitlisted you are so dumb... you were literally VALDO!!! congrats on all the acceptances btw :)

HOW DO U EVEN GET REJECTED WITH UR STATS IM CRYING

I’m scared to see what’s gone happen with my 3.0 ass

ok but i love how supportive your sister wassssss we stannnnnn

It’s not sad honestly 🦋 . Rejection is hard but life really directs us to a path that makes us happier in the future even when we don’t know it yet during present time❤️

Congratulations on Georgia Tech, it's so so good! I'm sorry for the rejections, you seem really intelligent and deserving. Luck matters a lot too and kudos to you for handling the rejections in a positive way too. So glad you got Georgia Tech! All the best!

PSA The reason she didn't get into the ivies even with good stats is that ivies and other competitive applicant schools want students who, yes, have good grades and have proven they can survive the rigorous academic part, but also pursue something deeply that they are passionate about, hopefully, related to what they want to study (ex for an intended comp sci major: summer internship in computer science + starting a program that teaches coding to an underserved community + taking rigorous comp sci classes + being a leader on the robotics team). Colleges especially want someone who has given back to the community, such as starting a program that helps kids outside of your school. Yes, part of her decisions may have been bad luck, but if you want to get into an ivy, you can't JUST get good grades and participate in a few clubs and think luck will take you the rest of the way. I don't mean this in a bad way, I'm just trying to give honest advice to those who may be applying to colleges in the future.

„You are my special girl“

wow im in a RABBIT HOLE of youtube right now because i’ve been done college for like 3 years and i didn’t even go to any fancy school... community college repppppin’ !! i have no idea how i ended up here 😂😂😂 but your family being there with you every step of the way was sooo wholesome and your reactions were so calm and collected. i think people with a more “oh well keep it moving” kind of attitude are the most successful. good luck x100000 in your future. you will do amazing regardless. and your teeth are so perfect!! xo ❤️

Aww....girl you are very strong. Lots of love and virtual hugs. I am so freaking proud to become a part of your RU-vid family. GeorgiaTech is great. My best wishes. 😊😊:-):-)

I love how ur family is really supportive and living the moment with u :)

Your scores are perfect and you sound like a good match for some colleges so I don’t understand why!! The important thing is that you’re having fun in your uni. I wish you all the happiness in the world please don’t let this random collage acceptence process determine your value also love your smile ❤️ and of course wanna know more about your extracurriculars.

It so sad to hear that all the work she put in and She only get accepted into 2 colleges

Even without the acceptance from GT, you actually have got some pretty good acceptances such as UWM which is a top school also. No need to consider deleting the video, don't let the colleges define you. Good Video!

Girl your stats are perfect it was just bad luck! Cant believe it!

I've been binge watching these videos so much! I'm graduating with my bachelor's next month, and I am applying to graduate schools. So, I'll be going through this again.😅Congrat!! Sidenote: Vanderbilt is so hard to get into! I didn't apply, but when I was in highschool, I knew a girl with a perfect GPA, extracurriculars like band, student council, and more, and a high ACT like 1 or 2 points from perfect, and she still didn't get in.

I m like just spending my time watching those college reactions waiting for mine coming on march 2021 😂, wish me luck

This is so scary cuz u have AMAZING stats and u should've been accepted to the ivies!!!

You applied to the most selective schools in the country. Unless you have a major hook, it's a reach for anyone. Congratulations on the schools you did get accepted to - all great schools. You're very blessed to have such a great family to support you!

Congratulations on getting into Georgia Tech!! It is a great school and I am sure you will do amazing there. Why did you turn down the chance to go to UVA before you found out about getting off the waitlist at Georgia Tech? UVA also has a wonderful reputation.

I feel so bad seeing the rejection, but you are amazing Nisha!!!! Congratulations for the acceptances I believe that you are doing great in university now:))))

Uhhhh seeing those stats and not another school accepted you! Holy! You’re gifted and smart! Georgia made an amazing choice accepting you.

CONGRATS! I plan to get into UPENN for my masters! Hope to see you make more college videos! I would love to know your application process and how you got in!

I applied early decision to Duke and got rejected also.Its luck of the draw for these ivy league schools

Congratulations on your acceptances girl! Btw, did I hear your mom saying 'akki' or am I imagining things? :P

Can I just point out how pretty she is

Georgia tech is an amazing school congratulations !! :) remember, rejection is just redirection

Well I'm depressed now Like I wanna go to an Ivy but if you can't get in I don't stand a chance

Your amazing and a good student hopefully if you still want to go you’ll get in as a transfer cuz your stats were amazing

Wait how was your gpa a 4.73 on a 4.0 scale? Is it something special that your school does?

Wisconsin madison is a really great school! Im so happy it eventually worked out. Congrats!

yo just watching reaction vids and being happy cause personally have zero chance

Wow I’m honestly shocked you didn’t get into those schools. I’m applying to the same schools you are and now I’m losing hope lmao. May I ask how much did spend on the essays for each of your applications?

This makes no sense whatsoever. My ex was ranked #1 too, but she had a 1340 SAT and 4.13 GPA, with no extracurriculars of any significance and she got accepted into both Emory and Georgia Tech. I had a friend who was ranked #6 with a 3.96 GPA and a 1440 SAT and he got accepted into Georgia Tech with no significant extracurriculars either(both of them applied into the same class/year you did). I am no trying to bring race into this but they were both white, so maybe the college discriminated against them? Perhaps similar to the way Harvard does do those with Asian heritage (ongoing lawsuit currently). Anyway, what I am getting at is, you were so much more qualified for these schools and yet did not get into them. It makes no sense at all.

HOOOOWWWW?? What the hell, her stats were perfect.

HAPPY ENDING!!! You deserved it:)

Btw congrats on all that you got into

What are you majoring in? Btw congratsss!!

Guys, please stop loading your college lists with Ivies and schools with admit rates of less than 20-25%, much less than 10-12%. Harvard and Stanford are 5% or less. It’s never really about you anyway, it’s more about the institutions objectives not “east coast elitism”. We never know exactly what those objectives are. And the super selective schools have enough high quality applicants 3, 4 and 5 x over, so it’s still a lottery. The schools want a ton of applicants. Beyond a nice little revenue stream, they want low admit rates and high yield rates.

UAB is awesome! I live right up the street! Love it there! Crazy good medical school.

So you’re going to Georgia Tech or UAB? Anyway, congrats!

Your so smart, like your stats? lit breathtaking. I need you to tell me how I'm in eight grade rn and I really need you help. please?

To all those that are posting that this was bad luck, you’re wrong! First of all, she is fortunate and quite deserving to get off the wait list at GTech and UVA. This year many competitive schools went deeper into their waitlists. A 35 ACT, perfect or near perfect GPA are just table stakes or the ante for the Ivy and Ivy plus schools she applied to. She was likely the victim of 1) terrible counseling, likely from a public school that can’t even tell you which State Duke and Yale are in, 2) less than stellar applications and essays which she herself admits (you have to bring your A+ game as an untagged student and 3) an extracarricular profile which left me confused. Why apply to Harvard REA? That’s a criminal misuse of the all important early card that you need to play well. The only reason for the deferral was that Harvard was still eyeing the possibility of Malian sure it took applicants from Alabama. But that’s all. And the fact that not even Emory and Vandy placed her on their waitlist means that the essay and Recommendation letters were not what they expected. When you apply to an Ivy League school ask yourself the following questions 1) are you black or Hispanic? 2) are you a legacy, 3) are you being recruited for an athletic program 4) has a department taken interest in an artistic talent and /or 5) did you attend a target or feeder independent or elite public school ? If the answer to all of these questions is no ,your chances are already slim and only a cohesive and breathtaking EC profile and essays to match will even get you to be considered. And applying to these schools as an Asian applicant to anything science related is also major malpractice. Positioning and differentiation is key.

Your sister is a whole mood 🤣

When I got into Stanford no lie I got no acceptions from any colleges and when I looked at my profile for Stanford I started to not care but when I got accepted I was shocked and so happy I was literally so sad and happy

Cuantos años tienes?

PLEASE GO MORE INTO DETAIL ABOUT YOUR GRADES AND EXTRACURRICULARS!

Cheers from Brazil!🇧🇷 applying for 20+ universities hopefully be accepted at least one, Ex= Virginia,NYU,Cornell,Temple, Oregon etc, wish me luck! Major 2021: Music.

Is there anyone out there to help me out with how to apply through joinbullseye? I am so confused right now!

bruhh your stats are PERFECT i have no idea why they rejected you

why am i watching this 4th time.

What was your major girl???

Can you tell me more about your international grant?

I really hope you're happy now

I'm so embarrassed but I have to ask how did u apply show me step

What major did you apply for?

Are you doing Georgia tech at home? Or you’re going there

BROWN KIDS FOR THE WIN

She was first in her class. How the fuck did they not accept her🤦🏽‍♀️damn this college shit is hard

could you share your stats and EC pls

Congrats

How her scl and scl counselor, teachers send recommendation letter to this much university 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

nice!!!

Omg I also wanna major in biomedical engineering, but I’m kinda scared maybe I should do biomedicine 🙆🏾‍♀️🙆🏾‍♀️

If they rejected your stats and they were that great then there’s no hope for me

What was you GPA and sat????

Your dad looked at you mad at the second 8:29

what is this like half white????

I live in Wisconsin and I don’t know why I needed to say that

This makes me angry. Being Asian obviously hurt you. Your selection of a competitive major also was working against you. Still makes me mad. I am so sorry.

Wow you had good stats but got rejections to all the good schools. Only reason I could think is that you had horrible essays/applications or you did something stupid that made them not like you. Sorry but that’s how it is :(

Why would I wanna ask advice from you? You practically got rejected from everywhere!
