I can't believe I'm already a junior butttt I hope you guys enjoyed this video and let me know what other videos you want to see :) Also, thank you SO much for 900 subscribers !!! Follow me on instagram :) / alanapujols
Alana - cheers! I caught a video during lunch today that showed clips of sorority sisters doing their various chants and I couldn't understand the words so I watched a video about the chants. I only knew Greek Life from movies so I fell down a rabbit hole and, whoa, there are some INCREDIBLE sorority houses in the US but I saw Cornell's Chi Psi house which reminded me of something that resulted in a search involving the phrase "Cornell move-in at..." Ended up clicking your video by mistake because I'm doing a couple things but after watching it, became your 994th subscriber. This comment is regarding breakfast with Mom and sis where a dude going to pay for his biscuits & gravy is looking at you holding the camera. You seem to have skated away without compounding awkwardness and there's tons of ways to handle that situation but I had a couple thoughts I wanted to share. The way to free up his time would be to continue filming yourself talking to directly to anyone off-camera, then do a simple smash cut . Film a separate clip later to explain why there is a sentence where it was sunny during the subject and pouring during the predicate. The way to free up your time is to spin the camera and ask someone you don't know to say hello to what you hope is more and more people YOU don't know. If the interaction is positive, use it and if no good, don't but if someone is nasty with you, turn the camera off, stop being a RU-vidr for a beat and attempt to connect with them as your natural self. Again, I''m subscribed so I'll be curious to see what comes of Alana Pujols but all of the ingredients are there for you to make the kinds of RU-vid magic that make its creators' lives at least LOOK magic. I'm pulling for you and if you ever need ideas for content, I'm your guy. Good luck and best wishes!
My daughter got into Cornell this year but is going UW Madison instead. Madison has the better music performance/music school which is what she is going for. I am still a little sad she isn’t in Ithaca this fall. I love Cornell. Your new place is cute
Hard to believe that I was just a student at cornell's campus this summer! I was admitted as a freshman this year but realized cornell wasn't meant for me. Still nostalgic to see Ithaca commons in the vid tho
@@invictus143 Wym not eligible? cornell was my dream college for 4+ years, but I had to realize that cornell doesn't have the platforms and support I need to obtain my goals (which is an MD-PhD and making other systemic impacts). Their bio and chem programs are unnecessarily rigorous with notorious grade deflation, with a weak public health program (they don't even have an actual public health major). For example, the gen chem classes only have 1 professor for ALL students taking it. Upstate NY is way too rural for what I want to do, and flying up there all the time was way too expensive for me. I had opportunities at Yale, Emory, and UPenn too, but UNC is ranked way better for public health, and it's way cheaper + more supportive and friendly for pre-meds rather than cutthroat and competitive. Cornell is honestly very overrated for undergrad, unless you are there for architecture, pre-law, ILR, or maybe engineering. There are cool clubs, research, and organizations...but only if you can get accepted into them (most clubs have acceptance rates below 10%.... which is so stupid).
@@bryanv.3630 I'm an international student from India. Cornell said I wasn't eligible for first year, so I should apply as a transfer student. I'm passionate about engineering, specifically computer. I got into Purdue majoring in CEng, however I cannot afford the lefty fees, I got the maximum scholarship which was just 3.5k USD. I'm interested in Cornell because they are generous with scholarships. I JUST HOPE THAT I GET IN 😭👏
Hey, planning to apply for fall 23. Will it be possible for you to help me out with some application process doubts maybe? 😅 Ps: totally vibing with the room aesthetic ✨
(Writing this comment bc 1:31 )I recently received a likely letter from Cornell and am just binging Cornell vlogs, it's been one of my top choices for so long 😭 #cornell2027
