I’m a prospective applicant for fall 23 (USA). As the deadlines are coming closer im in the most difficult situation of my life. Depression and lack of self motivation is eating. I was looking for something like this which can boost my energy. Thanks harnoor for being one of most motivational individual of my journey. Keep doing the good work
I'm a 2023 applicant as well and micro-managing everything is definitely overwhelming especially in a time crunch but I believe we've got this, just set your intention! good luck!
Dealing with culture shock is a whole lot easier when you have other students from your own country studying alongside with you (it makes the transition so much easier).
Harnoor Bhaiya, Thanks first of all for inspiring us through sharing your journey !! I request you to make a video on having extracurriculars that give a spike and how to write extraordinary essays. Thank you once again.
This is so informative and helpful, Harnoor! Honestly, you were so right about the fact that in India, Ranks decide which College or Major you are going to get which is unfair. People say that entrance exams are completely unbiased, maybe that's true in some aspect but when it comes to deciding which Major you are supposed to take, it shouldn't solely depend on your Rank. Because we can't decide the potential of a candidate based on just that. The student could have so much more to offer. "Competitive" exams have created such a mindset in some people that they start considering themselves superior once they score a high rank and start underestimating others, exceptions are there of course. But it does create a sense of comparison, which is upto some extent, really toxic and unhealthy. And it becomes extremely difficult for students to cope with this immense pressure from everywhere and they just can stay indifferent, as a result self-doubts arise within them, which is so upsetting too. As an individual, no one should feel worthless just because they couldn't pass an entrance exam. In short, do prepare for it if you're interested but don't make it your life, there are other things to focus on, as well. One of the supporting causes of why I want to study abroad too, and your videos have helped me a lot throughout my journey. Nevertheless, I hope you continue to make such amazing content! ✨
@@ray_hansika If its not too much of a bother, keep this thread posted on your study abroad journey. As someone applying to the US for my undergrad aswell, I'd love to hear more.
Hello bhiya I have been following you for past 2 years and because of you i am able to convince my parents and also myself that I can study in usa. I have given sat and ielts and scored good in them, now I am looking forward to apply in universities like georgia state university and asu.

Hey if you don't mind I would like to know that what is a good SAT score according to you ? 🤔. I will be giving SAT next week so i am kinda in confusion that how much minimum score I need and the average
Study and score good marks…lots of agencies give free service like IDP … go for universities who gives good scholarships….you can even get 60% and more scholarships on tuitions…once you have that admission in your hand….you can talk to your parents…it will be easy to convince them 😊
Hi, Harnoor I've been watching your videos since 2019. At that time I just started preparing for JEE but eventually left that, and that turned out really gr8. Now I am going to start my studies at UBC with intended major in CS

Just by looking on how harnoor speaks and puts effort on his videos we can say that harnoor is really a hardworking person who has great focus on what he is doing n trying to achieve

Harnoor can you please answer how you make money off of RU-vid and get sponsorships and ads on your video, since it's technically not legal to do so. I think you said somewhere that if you get paid and taxed directly in India, then it's legal. Do you do it this way and is it legal? Would really appreciate an answer
Hey I am owner of 2 research startups since 2 years, i have won many international competitions and Olympiads but my GPA is average...will i get into top universities in USA for undergrad?
I think a lot of your viewers would like a video on programmes and universities that someone should join for really good job placements in the silicon valley. Something like " the path to take to become successful in cs". You should have a lot of info and insight on this topic as you've yourself been working with a lot of successful people (including yourself) in the industry.
