I'm about to go to 9th grade and I'm so nervous, people nowadays do so much for college applications, like volunteering, clubs, leadership, and good grades is the basic. Like...it's way too competitive!!!
watching this while in a college that requires 10USD for exam entry fees, passing said entrance exam, your original high school diploma, a copy of your ID, and a phone number. God bless Morocco.
@@fl0pZ3 i never really understood why college in America is so expensive, can you explain to me how that is? are there free colleges? or is college education a prestige?
@@phantominception2881 im pretty sure it is, aren't so many college graduates struggling with student debt? if that's not the case than that's pretty weird, i always thought uni was very expensive in the US.
Man yo videos makes me scared n then I remember that I'm not from the US n the admissions r different here n then calm down n then get scared cause it's harder here😀
I plan to take 5 months of coding courses before submitting my application for January 1st, I'm applying as a CS major. Will this help? I start August 1st I'm an African international student needing a full ride.
I don't want to sound rude, but I don't think that will help. I'm not applying to anything related to CS but I have two years worth of coding experience under my belt, and even I wouldn't be able to get in. Don't get me wrong, 5 months of coding courses (especially if you take very difficult courses) is awesome, but CS is the most popular major atm in most colleges. People find it hard to get in even if they've developed apps and stuff. But also take what I say with a grain of salt because it varies depending on the college ofc. But if you're applying to a T20 college or even a T50 college, chances are very low unless you have something else very impressive under your belt. Also, if you desperately want to get in, try applying as a different major that is related to CS but isn't CS, that way you'll have a higher chance of getting in.
@@unknowns78 CS is a very impacted and competitive major, it's the most popular major in most top colleges now and it's also offers some of the highest paying jobs. So obviously, since it's that competitive, the number of people applying as CS major will be astronomically large as compared to other, less competitive majors. As a result you'll need waaaaay more impressive achievements to even dream of getting into a T10 or even T50 college as a CS major. So instead of applying as CS major applying as something related to CS would lessen the competition, and your chances would be better. But keep in mind this isn't really about quotas- colleges don't have specific quotas for majors, but at the same time they can't really let their entire class in one year be CS majors, can they? That'd be disproportionately skewed. That's why I said that.
@@unknowns78 for example, I came across the youtube channel of this one person who was word class in robotics and had a bunch of international awards in robotics and AI. They applied as a CS major, and they applied only to T20 colleges. Guess what? They didn't get into A SINGLE college on their list. Now, there could've been a number of different reasons why that was the case. Maybe their essays weren't up to the mark, maybe their letters of recommendation were iffy. But I'm inclined to think that since they applied regular decision to most of those colleges, the colleges had already taken a lot of world-class CS applicants in the early decision round. And that's why people are usually advised to apply early decision/early action if they have really great achievements.
I have a quick tip for all you submitting your college applications: when they ask you what your race and gender are, just put down “prefer not to say” for both of them. It legitimately works!
extra curriculars: - paid internship with grit design - internship at vila’s javdekar developers - volunteer with Konnect - volunteer at an animal shelter - internship at LDAB - internship at foliage - SAT score- 1460 - class 10: 95% - class 12: 92% - internship program with a psychiatrist - model united nations class 11 - many awards in the field of ballet languages: - english - marathi - italian - spanish - hindi cab someone see if this is okay
why you put your self though the stress of going to a "top" school when you can get the same qualifications for way cheaper at some community collage. sure it looks better but at the end of the day you have way more debt
July 28th is definitely not too late? Even if you’re applying early decision which is usually early November; that’s still several months to build more activities?
It’s literally too late for me😭Junior here who messed up last semester and ended up with a 3.5 cumulative NW,currently I’m trying to save it but I think I’m cooked🙏(if you think a 3.5 is good,ya I guess it is but to my standards it isn’t💀)
Would you happen to know anything to help transfer students? I’m in my first year so I still have another year but I’m sure it’s best to prepare yourself beforehand.
Skip college, learn a skill that has high demand low supply, they will hire people with the knowledge and no experience, maybe you get paid less but you work there for a bit to gain the experience. This is what I did in my IT career, this is how a I was earning more than college graduates two years later, this is how I became the boss of 28 year olds at 22. School is a joke
Not rly I did my first internship and community service all the summer before senior year. Not nessecarily good for timing on the app but it can be done
I am having trouble filling out common app application but there are some things that is don't understand and also some things are not practiced in Indian schools and colleges are asking for it what should I do? And also having trouble in writing essay
