I had a question : I didn't do well in my 10 and 11th grade finals, but i did well in my 12th grade and got 1560 in SAT So academically am i doing really bad? In terms of getting execpted into the top universities?
@crazymedusa If a student have been doing well academically but broke down (real bad) because of personal issues the 9th grade was pretty good the 10th, 11th, was really bad 12th was pretty good and also the SAT is good can the person get into Ivy league universities(Harvard)?
I have to apply for mit as a transfer student so can I apply for spring entry because my second term exam has not conducted so when the result will come then I'll apply but in mit website it is written that for international students have to apply for fall entry is it necessary ?
@@CrazyMedusa so that means when I'm in my second year then I have to apply means next year because that's when I have my first year results so it is okk ?
@@divyaupadhyay4868you apply next year around Oct 2025 for the fall 2026 transfer (you can also apply this Oct 2024 for the fall 2025 transfer even though you are just starting undergrad)
I am now in the second year of secondary school. I am from Egypt and I really hope to get a scholarship to Harvard University, but I do not know where to start. I have a year to finish high school. What do I do this year? I really want advice ❤
spring has less options for good colleges, less chances of higher scholarships, less selection of good courses, etc. Early Applicants have a deadline of Nov. 31st and Regular have deadline of Jan. 1
I'm from Pakistan have good academic record 97% in 10 grade and in 11 I've 92% score currently in second year and will be free from college. Wanted to apply for international universities on scholarship basis can you tell where may apply without SAT on basis of academic record on scholarship in health sciences or biological sciences related field since I want to complete health sciences and then apply for medicine etc in USA
I've scored 96% in class 12th but class 11th is horribly less % and SAT score 1500 and IELTS 8.0 bands extracurriculars:- worked in a few NGOs had given some olympiads but was not able to qualify for the exam.
You have a good profile, SAT marks are also good if you are applying for fall 2024 you are too late, still I think you can apply to some universities which still have their deadlines. If you are taking a gap year, remember to do something in your gap year that really is worth it. You can do research projects, try publishing papers.
Do I need to do TOEFL during my high school? I am so confused because the acceptance or rejection result comes during 12th grade. I am about to complete my 11th in about 2 months.
Hello Medusa, I have been watching your videos and it motivates me to study in USA. But as an eager "Afghan" who really wants to study in USA, I really don't know where to start from. I mean, if I apply to a university and it needs some paper like this and that; and specially in our country, Afghanistan, to pass exams like SAT/ACT or have paper like what your parents do or what they don't , it is kind of hard to get them. What I want you is, should I accept this excuse or just go on it?! Really don't know what to do.
it's not that difficult of a process if you get a hang of it: for undergrad- it's filling out the common app for colleges and submitting any other eligible documents like LOR, School Grades, SAT/ACT results,etc for grad- you do the same thing but you do it via college's own website Every single step of the process is online and it fully do-able from your laptop. The biggest step in this whole process is explaining this process to your parents!
There isn’t a big difference- two different companies offering similar tests that are accepted by colleges in the US. Take practice tests for both, see which one you resonate with more and study for that. Good luck!
@ crazymedusa I will complete my grade 12 this month july an I want to apply to Harvard for 2025 fall intake undergrad but this new SAT and ACT requirement is making me considering leaveing the application next year. What can I do please
Hello. I actually wanted to know about taking AP classes and all the exams like SAT, IELTS and TOEFL and where to start. Basically the entire process from writing SAT to taking AP classes and where AP classes are available because my school doesn't offer those classes. My parents don't have much knowledge about applying to ivy leagues so I would appreciate it 😇
Hey didi! I gave the SAT last year in August and I got a 1530 score. Is it good enough for getting into top tier universities with financial aid/scholarships? I'm currently in class 12 and I will be applying this year so wish me luck! Also you're videos are super helpful so thank you so much !!
They can definitely change for better especially how currently all colleges are getting rid of test optional. In the end, there’s more to the profile then just the score like activities and his/her essays
Hey medusa , I have a question. You must have heard of abet accreditation for computer science. I have already got offer letter from some universities. Some of them are abet accredited while a few are not. But, considering the location of some universities, I want to take admission into one which is not abet accredited for major in computer science but has a national ranking between 200 and 250. So, tell me if taking admission into not abet accredited university for major in computer science will have a negative impact or not? Further, If i want to transfer university in future, will it matter that I have done 1 year in non- abet accredited university or not?will my credits transfer or not? (Please reply as soon as possible. Only a week is left to accept offer letter)🙏🏻😢
yes a 120 and above score for undergraduate, for graduate programs Duolingo is not accepted. Also this information was easily available by doing a google search 'Duolingo Cornell Accepted'
as explained around 4-5 times in different videos- fall 2025 videos will come as they are needed, college applications open in August 2024, so there is no point in releasing tens of videos because it won't get the same reach! :)
Hello, Saloni mam, actually I wanted to start my prep for ACT/SAT from now but can you please tell me how long I'll prepare myself for the following tests? I have passed intermediate in 2023. Now, I wanna apply for the USA universities, but I have no extracurricular activities. So, after preparing for SAT/ACT when should I apply for universities after taking the tests? And does SAT high score is enough to get a full ride scholarship?
I have just given my 10th grade boards this year. Mam i want to ask you which year score are calculated in gpa 11th and 12th OR 9th ,10th ,11th and 12th
@@CrazyMedusaTHANK YOU SO MUCH MAM FOR YOUR REPLY❤ Mam I have a question. For safety universities I want to apply some other university other than iveies so can you tell me how can I find which universities fall under tier 2 or 3 It's hard for international students to know about universities in detail because in their websites they all say they are good. And I can't contact the students who are studying there so how to know which university is best fit for us. So please can you tell me?
Hello mam, i am in 12th right now. I am aiming for fall 2025 intake, according to you how should i prepare for sat exam. Should i prepare it from khan academy and then from princeton sat book or i should directly start preparing from princeton sat book?
SAT has gone digital so it's better to use Khan academy. Princeton sat book doesn't make sense as it prepares you for paper based SAT. Try joining online platforms and do take mocks as many as possible. Btw, I'm an incoming freshman at Stanford.

I am in class 11 and I can get excellent marks because I preparing well but there is no extracurricular activities announced by our school till class 10 Means, I have •Good grades that what ive league want. • SAT (upto 1560 or 1580 • easy that what ive league wanna see... Or etc... But no extracurricular activities 😢
you really don't have to rely on your school for extracurriculars! many students have been doing things outside of school for years before they commit to it as an activtiy for a college application
Mam please and can you tell us more extra circular activities other than school I am from commerce stream and i have searched about extracurricular activities but was unable to find Please can you tell me @@CrazyMedusa
you don't need to focus too much on your stream of commerce, you can literally do an activity in anything. Make a business plan for any of your nearby corner shops, make a digital planner for a business owned by a woman, help corner shops with a digital platform and marketing, do a a survey, open a club, start an insta. for a non-profit to support women in STEM, etc
