COLLEGE DECISION REACTIONS 2022| Stanford acceptance, Ivies, UC’s, Top 20’s 

“Im just sad that I have to do more because…I’m so tired.” You must be a very resilient person, the way even in the midst of breaking down you could still articulate an action plan for the future is commendable. Congrats on all your successes!

Berkeley AND USC with the scholarships for BOTH. ON THE SAME DAY. AND 2 MONTHS EARLY. That's just incredible. I'm going through the admissions process right now and I'm hoping that I'll be able to learn for myself that where I end up is where I'm supposed to be. Congrats again!

The Stanford one must've felt amazing. You and your dad were in an airplane going to London and then you opened your Stanford letter and got accepted! Now that's incredible.

this literally brought me to tears seeing how emotional you were with both the acceptances and rejections! love you and your parents’ amazing support ❤️ congrats!

honestly i really appreciate that u included the beginning, bc it makes it so realistic - i’m a senior and i don’t usually watch college reaction videos, bc so many videos show like acceptances all across the board and it sets such an unreachable standard. college admissions is frustrating and volatile, and the same merit could get u accepted or denied at different T20s/top colleges. Congrats on Stanford!!!

Your mom seems so sweet and SO supportive. Congrats to you!

YOU ARE SOOOO INSPIRING NADIA!!I can tell the college application process was hard but you pushed through it and had a successful outcome,your mom and your dad are the sweetest and they are soo proud of you and even if I don't know you I am too!!Congrats on your acceptances!!

Seeing how supportive your mom and dad makes me so emotional. As a child up to now, I never had a loving relationship with my parents and it makes me want to yearn for the same thing. I am happy that you are blessed with such wonderful parents. Your mom is an inspiration to me. It got me thinking throughout the whole video that if I can't have the parents that I need and want, then I should become a parent that I want for my future children. Congratulations on your achievement!

and dear seniors remember that sometimes when you get rejected from a school and you have really good stats, sometimes that happens because they know that you will get into a more competitive school with higher status in ranking. it's not a reflection of you!

This has got to be my favorite reaction video I've seen. And I've seen *a lot* . Your genuineness and light you emit when you speak, even just the way you interact with your parents, amazes me. Your personality is amazing and I'm wishing you even more success in life. I apply in two weeks and i see myself in you a lot. Fingers crossed. Loved the vid, the family, the friends, you! And your motivational messages before and after the reaction portion of the video achieved their purpose. Thank you!

this has been the best college decision reaction video i have ever watched, and i’ve watched a lot. often i don’t see the negative parts of this experience, only the positives, which makes me more stressed. but seeing this really made me think about what i am feeling now, and gave me motivation to keep a more positive mindset. i will definitely be thinking about this video when i start to get decisions these next few months. thank you so much

I'm two years late, but I just want to tell you that as a rising junior this video warmed my heart. You reactions felt so genuine and so real, and I just feel feel so happy for you!!!

this was the first college decision reaction video i ever watched and every time i come back it still touches me. you're inspiring

I'm a senior right now and it's so comforting knowing that you made mistakes too, like with your major at Columbia or the Vanderbilt essay. I feel like I always make tiny errors so it's nice to know other people aren't perfect either :)

Just got rejected from all the unis I wanted to go to. I’m planning to apply again this year and this gave me so much hope. I literally started crying when you were talking about Berkeley. I’m sooo proud of you!! I just hope you keep achieving more milestones. You’ve got this girl! More power to you❤

As a senior you have no idea how much I need to here this right now

congrats on your college decisions, you definitely deserved it and you seem like such a sweet person, thank you for this wonderful video!

I love how grateful and humble you seem :) Good luck with school!

you are so inspiring, currently going through the application process and i’m utterly lost, thank you so much for providing hope for us all!

I know that feeling at the beginning where you can't do anything but frown. I'm so glad you've changed your mindset and grown as a person

IT REALLY DOESNT GET BETTER THAN THIS

congratulations!!!!! please make a video telling us how you got into so many amazing schools! I'm also a ballerina and would love to know if ballet helped you get there. Congrats again!

hi congratulations!! the acceptances you received are insane!! i’m a junior and it would be an absolute dream for me to get into either stanford, berkeley, or upenn 😭 could you tell us what your stats were and what extracurriculars you put on your application? and also what did you write your essays about?

you have such a supportive mom omg i love her!!! also you're so sweet you definitely earned all these acceptances!!!!

i don't even know you but im so proud of you!! just watching how emotional some of these decisions were, you can tell how hard you worked to get there. was lowkey tearing up at the end but CONGRATS on all of your acceptances!!! this motivated me to work harder during the application process, ty!

Congratulations 🎉 you will do wonderful things. Your mom and dad are so lovely. Going through the process with my daughter now.

Over the years I have met a number of Ivy League and other elite schools alumni in finance and engineering, one group that has impressed me are the alums from University of Notre Dame. Notre Dame students are among the top scholars in the US who also seem to have a great balance to their approach in life. Beautiful campus as well

You seem like the most genuine person in the world. Congratulations on your success!

AAAAAHHH Stanford is literally my dream school because of the undecided major and across the board amazing STEM stuff (and also the location, obv!) I keep watching these videos, and yours is honestly the most heartwarming by far. Congratulations!! Please please make a stats+ECs video!!

This is amazing and your Stanford reaction brought me to the verge of tears, (Stanford is my dream school), could you maybe make a stats and extra curr. video as well? Thank you so much, you are so amazing oml

I never comment on this type of videos usually but I had to do it here because I relate so much to what I have just seen... Your mother is an amazing woman, the way she kept insisting "you worked really hard for it you didn't just get lucky" is so heartwarming to watch. And you absolutely deserve every acceptance you got you are obviously a very brilliant student. Congratulations!!

your relationship with your mom seems so special

This is my absolute favourite college reaction video. I meant it. It was so wholesome, I was rooting for you all the way. You are so sweet and have such great, supportive parents. You have so much to be proud of. Although this is late - congratulations! I wish you all the very best!

congratulations! i just watched both of your college videos and they are the best ones i’ve seen. very heartfelt :) wishing you all the best!

I just applied to four different colleges. I sent everything in. And now it’s the hardest part… waiting. Congratulations on your admissions!

I rarely comment like almost never but omg girl I don’t know you but I already love you and wish you the best because like we have the same vibes and reactions and everything and as I was watching your video I was like YES THATS SO ME I was feeling everything you were feeling !! YOU GO GIRL ❤ CONGRATULATIONS 🎉

Congratulations! The process to get into US schools is such a rollercoaster. Kinda glad I didn't have to go through that in my country but at the same time it would be such a cool challenge/experience.

The smile on your moms face is everything! Congratsss

I love this! I have always wanted to go to Harvard, Btw i'm 15 and an A+ student. I always feel I'm not doing enough and am so devastated when I get something wrong. This video was really helpful for me to realize, I am going to go to where I need to be. If it's Harvard then great and If it's not then another university will be amazing to 😄

You gave me hope in life now with that last segment

saw you compete at debate nationals-you are truly an inspiration and deserve this so much!

Congrats on Stanford nadia! ❤

I just saw this in my recommended, never been so happy for a stranger, but amazing how you weren’t a perfect student and got into Stanford. I’m currently a sophomore in hs and will be a junior in august and it’s super tough for me because of the results of being bullied in my ms years badly and really messed up my grades and just my dedicated for the things I used to love to do, but your mindset throughout all of this is just super inspiring so I want to thank you a ton, I haven’t started thinking much about college yet besides the double major I want to do (political science & international relations), I’ll make sure to try to keep the mindset you have when it gets closer to college & also apply to the colleges you also applied to since my current list is like 10 colleges and still adding more to the list of where I want to apply to. thank you so much for this video! ❤❤

Damn! I thought I would comment some other time because I enjoyed the video and honestly I can totally relate to your younger self at this moment. The same fear of not being accepted into any university and rejection from dream colleges is just so haunting that I don't have words to describe the intensity of fear. I hope my college reaction video be like yours ❤️ And CONGRATS ON ACCEPTANCE YOU DESERVE IT!

Congratulations! Your Mom is so sweet and wholesome.

I'm so happy for you! You deserve all this :) Claiming this positive energy for myself, I've always wanted to get a good education to continue my dreams!

Thank you so much for posting this video. My son and I both really needed to see it. I cried when you found out about your ED. I am so happy for you and thank you for posting this video to help the high school seniors. 🤗🧡

I LOVE YOUR MOM! SHE IS SO SUPPORTIVE LIKE WE LOVE HER !❤

OMG I LOVE THIS IM GLAD U FINALLY EDITED omg bomi ur reaction to stanford🥲🥲 so cute i shed tears🥲🥲 sanah dropping facts fr u truly r so deserving of stanford💗💗

This was so encouraging, thank you so much for sharing it. I’m a college freshman too and I’m really happy for you. ❤ Also you have such a kind and loving personality! I wish you the best of luck, and I hope you had lots of fun in London after receiving that amazing news! 💕💕

You seem like such an amazing person, and I wish you the best of luck in college! I'm a senior applying this year, and I really resonate with the advice you gave.

You seem like the sweetest human ever. People are so lucky to have you

OMG!!! So proud of you UMichigan Honors, UC Berkeley, USC, Northwestern, UPenn, Dartmouth, Cornell, and Stanford!? That is amazing. I really hope to get into ivies/top schools! I have taken rigorous classes(Honors/APs), have great EC's, but my GPA is not quite great(For these schools). I had a good freshman year, and initially had a decent start to sophomore year, but absolutely tanked due to depression. This year I have straight A's(1 A-, 2 B+[Both improving]) with all honors and 2 AP's. I plan on taking 7 total APs 13-15 Honors Classes throughout high school. Additionally, I am also trying to get 1500+, especially 1550+. My unweighted is ~3.7 and my weighted(for each college) is 4.06 and 3.9 cumulative( ~4.2 weighted this year) at my school. Do you have any strategies for getting in? I have been quite nervous as I want to really go to these schools. I am aiming for t20s.

To God be the glory !! You are so amazing and strong I’m so happy you could share your journey with us. I wish you the best of luck in your future plans. ❤

I also got deferred at Brown, and I've been super stressed about getting into college. Your video gave me a lot of hope, so thank you for sharing! Congrats on Stanford!

Congratulations for all of your acceptances ! College decisions are sometimes confusing, lol 😅. I was also rejected from UC Irvine. Anyway, best of luck at Stanford !

IME STAMPS!! 1:20 Brown University 2:20 University of Chicago 2:50 Northeastern 3:33 University of Michigan 4:19 Berkeley 6:10 USC 7:15 Emory University 7:55 University of Michigan Honors 8:22 University of Chicago (again) 8:54 American University 9:15 Northeastern (again) 9:38 UCLA 10:00 UC Irvine 10:18 Northwestern 10:58 Vanderbilt University 12:05 Georgetown University 12:42 Barnard IVY DAY!! 13:02 University of Pennsylvania 14:15 Brown 14:39 Dartmouth 15:34 Cornell 16:05 Princeton 16:27 Columbia 17:02 Duke 17:10 Harvard 17:26 Yale 18:46 Stanford Explanation 19:13 Stanford

Your Stanford reaction was so priceless 🥺you deserve it❤️

This is awesome! I’m so happy for you!❤❤❤

omg, your mom so sweet and beautiful. congrats nadia!

CONGRATS GIRL YOU'RE AMAZINGGGGG!! also side note ur nails ate in every single clip

What a humble young woman you are. I hope you best of luck in your college endeavors! 🎉

how iconic is it to find out you got into STANFORD on a flight to LONDON..i dont think i would be able to contain my excitement the entire flight 🤯 CONGRATULATIONS 🥳

I think its also important to recognize the difference in access to resources- especially for those who are of higher income. Its not just about seniors working hard. And while I know you likely had good intentions with this video, I think a disclaimer recognizing the privilege to access and wealth is important. There are so many seniors from low-income backgrounds who don't have the same access to specific classes, tutoring services, and campus summer programs that are for the rich (like the one you went to at Yale). As a current Ivy league grad student who made it here with absolutely zero help, its quite coincidental to watch you get your acceptance to Stanford on a fancy plane on its way to London. Yes- like you said everyone ends up where their meant to be... but its misleading to the fact that disproportionately wealthy and affluent students "end up where they are meant to be" be of connections, resources, and preppy feed high schools in wealthy areas. Congratulations on these acceptances- I just commented so hopefully any low-income student who might be here isn't fooled or thinks less of themselves.

UPenn that's crazy congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

this video is so cute and wholesome you honestly truly deserve it :)

Congratulations! I’m so happy for you ❤

I live in Australia so our process is different, which makes this really interesting to watch - we apply through one site which covers the entire state, so your portals thing is very different, we have a release date of our atar (kind of like sat) and then a date for the offer rounds. I graduate next week and I’m about to go into the atar/offer rounds and it’s scary but to see your video, how realistic it is. I’m scared I messed up a few things but you did too and you still got places, so that gives me hope. Thanks for sharing💓

your outfit in the narration clips is beautiful. Congrats on the acceptances!

My favorite part of this video was how supportive your friends are!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Rejected from UC Irvine but accepted by Stanford, that sums it up right there. Everyone has a chance of getting into any school, don't let one decision dictate the rest.

Lol I love the contrast of you sitting there in disbelief and your mum having this look on her face that just screams ‘lol knew it’ haha

soooo good! congratulations 🥳 your parents are amazing, too!

youre reactions made me so happy im proud of u

Ps. It's so interesting to see you so excited and emotional for Stanford University when I was so sure you would be most excited for Michigan, considering you have best friends and know many people there :)

This was so beautiful to watch! Your relationship with your parents is truly inspiring! I can tell your hard work payed off!!!

you and your mom have the same exact smile omg precious lol

Mazel Tov! You will have a blast in college! Thanks for sharing your journey.

I loved this video so much! Congrats on all your hard work, you deserve this! I’m a rising soph at Stanford, so excited to see you in the farm :))

You and your mom are beautiful. You have the same smile. Congratulations on all your acceptances.

me literally freaking out because I'm applying now and I'm so nervous... Congrats though!! Hope you have a great college experience!

It’s makes me so emotional by watching this video, especially when your mom said, it’s not just because you are lucky, you worked really hard on it. And your dad also said you deserve it baby. Made me cried right after. Hopefully I will make my parents be proud as well, finger crossed for good news in March

SUCH A GOOD VIDEO GO NADIA

Your parents are just wonderful. It makes me happy seeing them so supportive of you. I see myself in the same situation as you were but my relationship with my parents is not so good right now. I don't know if I can do this alone but I'm going to try.

congrats!! stanford will soooo much fun! i have so many friends that went there and it was a blast!

This makes me so happy and emotional !!!

I love this!!! I am so happy for you!!
