Literally watched this superb applicant make history. Congrats on Johns Hopkins!! Yes, UC acceptance rates are on an all time low this year I guess or the possibly yielded you because judging from the schools you were accepted to, you seem to have some crazy good application, probably the admissions thought u will get accepted to schools with lower acceptance rates.
The best college reaction video ever. I have been watching this for so many times last year. Now I am studying in UWC Year 1. You always inspire me Jisoo.
Congrats young lady! That’s quite an impressive array of colleges you were excepted to. California lost out on someone special. Good luck in your future endeavors I know you will be a complete success! God bless you!
congrats from 22/23 cycle applicant! will post college reaction videos next year on 小红书 too and will tag you if you feel it's not interrupting. rly thanks for all the videos you've posted, Brown portfolios and application experiences, these are great helps to me!
hiii congrats !! Im so happy for you :) Im starting the IB next year and im super stressed. Im a french international student who dreams to go to the us for their studies. I was wondering if you could maybe give me tips of how to succeed in the IB, and if you could also tell me what you took in HL and SL it would help a lot. Thank you so much, and again congrats on all your acceptances, you're amazing!!!
BTW the nine Colonial Colleges are Harvard 1636, W&M 1693, Yale 1754, Pennsylvania 1740 (also known as PENN), Princeton 1746, Columbia 1754, Brown 1764, Rutgers 1766 and Dartmouth 1769.
UCs are random for sure. I got into UCLA, but rejected by UCI and UCSB. You just never know with the UCs lol. Congrats on Columbia and Brown!!! I'd choose Columbia :)
You got into John's Hopkins, Northwestern, Duke and Brown but not UCLA or USC? You didn't loose anything. They probably looked at your stats and realized you would pick way better schools than their's. They probably knew your options would be broad and decided not to accept you because they have no chance of having you as a student.
thank you 😭 I'm grateful for the schools i got into and I'm really not that bothered about my rejections, so it's totally fine! But I agree with you that yield protection might have played a factor. Either way, thank you for your kind words.
nah usc and ucla mostly whites and others by the percentiles. Truth really is that ucla take in lots of inter students so thats another factor, but ivies league also need to fill in on their inter students category so its easier for international students get accepted since its 15%+ of the freshman admissions. UCs test blind this year so the app pool increases so its a lil more competitive until 2024
Great video and enjoyed watching it. Can I ask whether you are Chinese or Korean because your name is literally Korean but you can speak Chinese and live in China. Thanks!!
Congratulations on getting into Northwestern! There really isn’t much of a difference between the acceptance rate of Northwestern and USC in 2023 though… Northwestern 9% USC 9.9% Wish you the best in wherever you go and whatever you do!

@@ohmybilly9561 I was joking lol, but also asians make up 33% of UCLA while only 26% are white. A few years ago in 2014 it was almost 45% asian as well. But ye, your points are valid as well, also the UCs get full tuition from international students so they like that as well, hence why OOS often has higher acceptance rates
@@dogsidog0074 I get what youre saying im not mad or anything lol but i was at ucla the other day i seen mostly whites and others couldnt tell but theyre abt the same
You have to take into account the fact that they have a tremendous number of applications each year - in the hundreds of thousands for the most popular UCs. Every kid in California applies to at least several UCs, and many more accross the nation apply as well becauce California. UC Berkeley and UCLA in particular are amongst the very best universities in the country and the world, so there's that element of extreme competitiveness added to the mix.
I'm an IB student, so instead of GPAs, we have IB predicted scores. I'm not sure if IB scores can be converted to GPA, but I would guess that it would equate more or less to a 4.0 unweighted.
i was pretty shocked as well because the some of the UCs were my targets/semi-safeties, while most of the ones i got into were reaches. i think with the test-blind policy and the overall increase in applicants this year UC admissions got a lot more competitive/random. there's also been people saying that it's yield protection but the schools themselves claim they don't yield protect, at least not in past years. either way college admission in the US is super random, and this just proves it i guess.

Hey there, my essay hasn't gotten a second perspective yet. I see no one around me to help and I don't want the AOs to be the first person reading them. I would really appreciate it if you gave like a few minutes to read my personal essay!Can u give me your email? It would mean a lot to me!!Thanks
