For anyone watching these videos, don’t feel pressured into trying to be the same person/applicant as anyone else. Everyone is different and not all of us are fit for Ivy League schools. The environment of the school you attend really matters and I think that the prestige of top schools can blind students from seeing this. There’s a college out there for everyone, but people keep on focusing on the most prestigious rather than where they would succeed. Of course, some students are built for these schools and will do well at them, but this doesn’t go for the majority of students. Just know that you can still be successful in life without going to a prestigious school. Overall, just make sure that the schools you apply to and the one you ultimately attend is the right fit. I just hope that this reaches stressed out high school students everywhere! P.S. Congrats on your acceptances! The intended audience of this comment was any student stressed over the admissions process, hoping to get into a top school. This was in no way throwing shade at students applying to/attending prestigious schools. I just want students to know that it’ll all work out and to really examine the schools they’re considering.
Tysm that's what I needed to hear I have two years left to go and I haven't done much except get good grades for these first two years so I've been really stressed about trying to fit all these arbitrary requirements for schools like Harvard and sometimes I need to be reminded that the most important thing is that I do things I enjoy and have a fulfilling junior and senior year, not that I fit some checklist for a college that will probably reject me anyway. Thank you
No, feel pressured. You'll have time to not feel pressured after you either get accepted or rejected. It's only for a few years, and you don't know whether you're 'fit' for these schools until the decision is made. Everyone who gets into these schools has felt that pressure. Give it 100% for a couple years. There's no point thinking back on the excuses of the schools 'not fitting' you.
Omg tysm, I needed this so badly. I am a theater student, so musical theater is obviously my college major goal. I’m trying to apply for colleges that are good for that major.
AN MIT ACCEPTANCE !!??!!!!! Watching this two years later from Australia but CONGRATULATIONS OML. Manifesting this positive energy for me in a year (and positive energy to everybody else on their journey who sees this) 🤞🤞✨✨
girl, you were not being dramatic, no!!! In my turn, I'm going to cry SO, SO, SO much that then you can call me dramatic! There is nothing wrong with expressing your emotions, and to be honest, I still think you cried too little to get halfway to drama LOL
After just going through this process during this hectic year and applying to 23 schools as well, hats off to you girl! To get accepted to so many top schools, u deserve everything!
congrats!!! we need a stats and ecs video! i'm thinking of studying something along the lines of environmental science in college and want to know what i can do to get myself better prepared for that
@Katie Ellen Tu maam r u german? what is schitte and chlurmck? ayo I get that ur a professor I'm just saying when someone feels proud abt making it into a highly selective institution that is known to provide a good education, we shouldn't be bringing them down
hi emma!! this is zoey (from herricks LOL),, just saw this on my explore page n wanted to say huge congrats on all your acceptances, u're gonna do great in the future !!
@Katie Ellen Tu Wtf- hello? this is called youtube boomer- and I see you going up to all these types of videos and hating on people who got in- you just jelly sis
@Katie Ellen Tu Oh I'm sorry professor, but thats how teens talk these days, especially on the internet, and shes already been accepted chill out, and This isnt your classroom so please- if you dont like it, you can leave
@Katie Ellen Tu The only reason I keep responding is because of all the hate you are giving to these students, who as a teacher, should feel proud of. Stop giving hate to these gifted people and leave. Your pathetic
omg I applied to so many of the same places!! definitely so many more rejections ofc, & the same moment of anxiety with dartmouth lmao. congratulations bbg on everything
Notice how every school you were just so certain you weren’t going to get into…. YOU GOT INTO I hope that was a sign to stop doubting yourself :) even though this is a chapter in your life that passed already lol I’m late asf but congratulations 🎉
The amount of schools she got into gives me a little hope for getting into a college i wish to go after I graduate high-school even tho I know it's different for everyone
congrats!! i haven't heard much about environmental engineering. how did you find out that it was something that you were interested in and wanted to do?
@Katie Ellen Tu you’re kidding right it’s not like i’m writing an essay and when i said pen i was talking about pen state im not trying to be grammatically correct i’m commenting on a youtube video
That's amazing 👏 so happy for you!! Do you think we could get a video on stats or something like that? 🙏 I understand if you can't! But congratulations!!!
It’s so shocking how the admissions work all over the word. I mean I live in Argentina and here we can go to any collage we want. Seeing u guys getting so frustrated for this,really idk how u guys can do this, i would probably ended with 0 self esteem
