Asking Harvard Students How They Got Into Harvard | GPA, SAT/ACT, Clubs, etc. 

Guy: Test scores don’t matter Same guy: I had 4.0 and 1600 SAT

There are two types of people that say test scores don't matter. 1. People with extremely low test scores. 2. People with 1600s on the SAT or 36s on the ACT.

« harvard chose me before i chose harvard. » i hope i can say that one day lol

Them: test scores don't matter.. Also them: 4.0 / 4.0

As a high school junior, this type of content is what keeps me inspired to keep going. Thank you so much for the amazing content!

Thanks for this! I got into Havard but had a sense of Imposter syndrome due to my very low GPA, however this allowed me to commit and I dont regret it one bit!

I think what people need to realize is that college admissions are not always consistent. Generally yes, they admit the best possible applicants that apply to their college. But it's entirely possible to be denied from Berkeley or Stanford and get accepted at Harvard. You can also no get accepted to Harvard, but get accepted to Yale, Princeton or Dartmouth. An example from me, is that I had a friend who was smarter than me in high school. We both applied to a "less than prestigious" UC and I got accepted and he didn't.

Love your hosting😍. Your video was totally entertaining and it so helpful.

dude you are actually so good at editing and making contents, keep it up!

Love this!!! Great job buddy! ❤

Coming to FSU this year for summer‼️ gonna be touring this Thursday bc I haven’t even seen the campus in person yet. Super excited

SAT and ACT are so pointless. I got a 20 on my ACT and got into my local university, now I’m making 180k with my masters degree. Employers, for the most part, dont care if you went to some prestigious school. As long as you have the degree and or the certifications. Sure it might give you an edge over some other applicants in some work fields, but that is it. Those tests scores are nothing to base your life around, just get a good enough score to be accepted to an average university.

Great video! I found very helpful, thanks for sharing. Cheers

I'm a current HS senior. I did not apply to any Ivies since I'm spoiled and don't want anything other than my sunny California weather, but I've been watching a lot of UCLA and UCI content as an admit. I think everyone at both UCs are very satisfied with where they are and wouldn't change it either. I'm excited to see where I end up committing to.

You are really a good host of this video!

Thank you for interviewing a fellow Filipino. I also hope to fulfill my Harvard dream this year ❤

Very useful videoooo. Thank you so much

awesome video per usual!!!!

Thanks for this very interesting and informative video! And thanks for interviewing a fellow Filipino there at Harvard! Proud Filipino here! ❤

I literally watch your videos for motivation

Please Never stop!

I respect all of them 🙏🙏🙏

Harvard is my dream university too.And I am Asian girl from Myanmar so I m working on my English and some other skill too.I am now in 9th grade and I think only getting into Harvard makes me feel happy 😐😐😐😐🙂

There is no grade inflation at Harvard. Most graduate with honors. It's harder to get in than to stay in. Academics are very good but they don't grade hard.

I am coming for sure, Sep 24 waiting for me and y'all guys!!!

Hope I get into Harvard or some other great school in the future!

Your video was gr8!!!

What got you into Harvard? : my dancing 👄👄

Thank you bro really helpful

At the end the employers don’t look at where you got your degree but if you’re prepared enough with required skills and knowledge to do the job.

My class really enjoyed watching this video.

I'm currently working on my SAT and wish to get to Harvard. Wish me luck😊

Singapore let’s go !!

I have never been involved in the American grading system. However, I was accepted into a Master’s and PhD course at Harvard from my Bachelor’s thesis in Economics, made in Denmark, Aarhus University.

To GOD be all The Glory Ephesians 2:8-9 (8) For by grace that we are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is a gift from GOD, (9) not by works that no one may boast. Put your faith in JESUS and be willing to commit to follow HIM, give your life to HIM and see how HE changes it for HIS auspicious Glory.

greattt videooo

Thanks man.

subscribed!

my dream school💖idk if i will get in or not but iam writing this for a little reminder maybe even if i get in(3%)i will come here and tell yall gotta be some years when i aplly👍

yeah keep doubling down you got the editing and production skills bro

I don’t get why some people go to Harvard just for the name. If you got a scholarship to a school like UC Berkeley and plan to do CS as your major, then choose the school you got a scholarship for..you’re looking to study and use the knowledge in your real career in the future, so if UC Berkeley is more likely to teach you CS (with a scholarship, too)-then choose that one. I would be happy if I got into UCLA, especially with a scholarship.

Hello guys, I am Emmanuel Ellie from Sierra Leone I just wanted to know if my GPA in Under graduate program can earn me scholarship to do my Post graduate Degree in Harvard ( my dream ever)? I emerged with a GPA of 3.77 out of 4.0 in Statistics,and I graduated as the best student in my Department

Raise your hand if you a student of Harvard and watching this now ☺️☺️☺️

I really like this idea of vedio perception of keeping it all happy about college but bit too much

Things happen for a reason I am here doing what I suppose to do wow

me when I compare this to the IITs in india and think about how hard it is to get in : wow

Guy: Do you guys mind if I ask you a couple questions for a RU-vid vid? Them: Yes 💀💀

In law do they necessarily need law undergrads? Can you come from a different faculty and still be admited?

hey ashton, im going to highshool soon as a freshman, do you have any tips?

When u grad, u should do tours of all the schools u got into, except the ones you already did. lol.

Wow. From Philippines choose Harvard . Very lucky 😃😀

We do use gpa in Canada

I retired at 26 and graduated from my private university in 2 years. You don’t need a prestigious school to identify yourself as having been apart of to be unique. I did however love my university despite my advisor who was also one of my professors disliking me. Although it was probably because I said his course curriculum was a bit outdated. 🧐 It was the truth.

9:17 is so true

I've got a long way to go 😬😅😤

you are cool Ashton

What’s the point. You can’t go to Harvard if you don’t have the smarts, period. If Harvard excepts anyone from being pressured, then they are finished. You have to be Intelligent. You won’t make it if your not smart

Damn unweighted 3.97 gpa, earned a B in AP US History. Weighted 4.9 but now with 3.97 really discouraged.

I NEVER WENT TO THERE SCHOOL BUT I LIKE THERE BEETS.

Am I the only one that picked up on the guy who said all the problems he had there he'd still pick Harvard?

I started at UCLA and transferred to USC. Id go to Stanford before I go to Harvard. It’s a west coast thang 😂

man? I feel the school

Omgee Law School in my school is way to hard, how much more in Harvard. Life in Law School is reading, reading, reading, reading and reading. 🙊🙉🙈 and did I say reading? ❤

They say that marks never matter the same people getting everything in the SAT and 4.0

Standford is the real deal

sheesh i should've applied and live to my aunt in US, my GPA was 96. But anyways I'm alrdy happy of UNiversity eyy amma flex Siliman University

Looking back, I think it’s all stupid, the entrance process & the nonsense these schools put students through, & the price, let’s not talk about price. If I was smart when I was young, I’d have just went to a state school & been done with it. Why? Because it really doesn’t matter at the end of the day, I graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering, so I thought I was on top of the world, until I realized industry just doesn’t care, they need bodies. This is what a corporation calls an engineer from let’s say Cornell vs Arizona State, employee #1 & employee #2 that’s about it. The only acknowledgment I got from graduating out of DUKE, whose well known for science & research was; “oh that’s nice” must be cool there, then back to work I went. The reasonable expectation from industry is that you are going to college to make money, so outside of that, anything that doesn’t make them money, such as the name of your alma mater, it doesn’t really matter. You’re not going to command the same salary as someone in a senior position at your company just because of a name, they still want to see results. Well, that’s my spill. Hope you all scouting schools make informed choices, I’d look at price first, then degree programs second.

Should have asked if their parents also went to harvard. The legacy program brings in a lot of people.

❤

For everyone reading this, I just want you to know that at the end of the day, Harvard and many of these Ivy League schools accept based on their institutional needs, meaning that you can do everything right and be the perfect student, and still get rejected because you are simply not who they are not looking for. A few years into the workforce, where you went to college will no longer matter.

You have to admit eventhough most people believe college will not be helpful, that ivy league students are definitely intelligent

i'd like to have MBA there

for some reason i cant wrap my head as to why this video is so positive it almost doesnt feel real realistically there should be some sort of negative thing about harvard considering how the admissions work and other allegations about it but this video is just makes it seem like they are just bs which they arent considering the amount of allegations against harvard for their admission process and all other stuff you would think there would be at least smth negative said in this vodeo but there isnt very interesting

Please any one study computer since

Same profile. Kinda...but they do t seem to mind

Noone: The guy wearing t-shirt: 🥶

Did I hear a couple of them say they got in because they were good athletes?? oookkk. Who knew the essay was so important?
