Yh ur screwed

@@lfckaran 🤧😢 Thanks

gpa is more important than standardized testing because it shows commitment, that being said, many colleges like to see improvement with grades so if you get your grades up junior and senior year that could be good

@@isabella-dl3sb thats great, I my avg GPA has been getting better per semester. Thanks

I think extracurricular activities are very important to colleges and I personally tried to fit as many in my schedule that I enjoyed as long as I had the time and I would not compromise my academics and study time (grades are more important) I would definetly encourage you to join some!

Tulla Bee Thank you so much, Tulla. Stay safe.

heyy! if you're interested, my friends and i started a company called collegae ( collegae.weebly.com ) that provides affordable college counseling where you can speak to a collegian from schools (we have stanford, uc berkeley, harvard, upenn, princeton, and so much more) for just $20/ half hour! they can answer questions like what their essay was on, how they got in, their stats, extracurriculars, campus life/culture, and so much more! hope this helps:)

I’m interested. How can I join?

So true , I'm here to learn something basically and her beauty is distracting me like omg 😍

yeah this isn't fair

Is Hispanic another word for a person who speaks Spanish?

David Thai it usually means someone from a Spanish speaking country so it could be Spain, Argentina, or Equatorial Guinea

Same with me lol

I hope yall know Hispanics come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and races 🙃

Emma Clare it’s my dream school too!! It’s so expensive but if I got in I would love to try and go there

i did. in order to be a part of the honor society you have to be a member of mensa first

@@TullaBee what is the test about?

definitely! colleges want to see your grades improve as you go along; so if she has all As now she definitely on the right track!

Catherine paiz!? And ik right

Why u here then

Easy nuh😐...the video popped up on my home page...relaxed it's not affecting YOU😶

it's called rejected applicant.

I don’t think you need all A’s in Ap classes to have a 4.85 GPA, if the classes are weighted

WOAH 4.85? I heard 4.5 lmao

Weighted

Out of 5??? Like the scale

she needs to verify with phone number

@@chilledcoder3610 Ah, okay. RU-vid did that to me once. It made me verify with my phone number when I wanted to upload a thumbnail for my video instead of choosing a frame. Haha!

@@davidthai7144 XD

@@chilledcoder3610 Ooooh, just checking out your channel now I can see you are an IT person. Am I right?

@@davidthai7144 Yes Yes Yes

not through common application, which is how I applied.

Tulla Bee thanks! I was kinda nervous because I didn’t have some confirmations haha

Don't multitask *tip*

Lmao I had no clue what I was doing on the class or in the exam, just put random crap down and still managed to got both 5's SOMEHOW idk how tho :)

omg nooooo i'm taking ap macro micro this year,, how was the curriculum?

omg i love ap macro and micro 😩

it’s how the common application makes you list your honors for colleges to see

i took a test in 6th grade that placed me in advanced math for the rest of middle and high school. junior year i chose to skip calc ab and go straight to bc

The main one is your psat. It’s a test that can qualify you for the national merit scholars program and it depends on the score you need for your state. I live in PA and I would need to get a 1480/1520 to qualify but some states require different scores. Good luck!

@@niyatsiyum4774 Do you know what year I can take the psat? Or does it depend on the school you go to?

@@kieraoconnor371 There's a few versions of the PSAT. there's one for 8/9th graders, one for 10th graders, but the most common one is taken in 11th grade. If you haven't already, you should begin preparing for it.

colleges focus a lot on the context of your application, basically the resources you were offered and how much you took advantage of them. so if someone goes to a high school with great clubs and lots of AP classes, colleges will expect them to have more ECs/ AP classes than someone who goes to a school with only a couple clubs/AP classes. But if someone goes to a school with not a lot of resources but still did as much as they could to get into college: taking the hard classes that were available, doing the clubs that were there (or maybe starting their own club!) it shows they’re very resourceful and know how to make the most with what they have, that’s a very valued trait in college applications. Just make sure to keep your grades as high as possible (if your school doesn’t do weighted GPAs colleges will compare your unweighted GPA with the other applicants unweighted ones) and be active in your schools community. Good luck!

I think those are really good extracurriculars because it shows how passionate you are about singing and music! I actually still am in high school too but from what I've read, colleges really like the extracurriculars that are related or "focused" on your main passion. But they also like to see that your not a one sided person so your other extracurriculars help with that. Overall I think you're doing great for a sophomore and good luck!

Try watching YesReneau on RU-vid! She has a lot of vids on what it takes to get into ivys and in one of them she stresses the importance of being “pointy” rather than well-rounded. In other words colleges want a well-rounded class, not a bunch of well-rounded students. So if you purely enjoy music and something else then they rather have you excel in those two things than have a million things on your application that just seem forced and out of place :)

Thank u Cate V. And Lauren , for your words.👍

hey are you applying for colleges soon!?

Usually act or sat is necessary for most, but corona has made it different for class of 2021. Check with each university to know their individual preferences. *in my experience/opinion* if colleges know you've taken ap classes but you don't send the score you got, it could look bad or like you did poorly on the exam. If you're questioning it, I personally would say go ahead and send them. That said, most colleges don't require ap scores like they usually do for act/sat

lolll rip

possibly in an essay or an honor, especially honor if you’ve been published. also you you don’t have space you could put it in the common apps additional info section

@@TullaBee thank you so much for answering!! !

Ikr she looks Irish and Scottish

I’m also part of the student council, leadership team at my church’s youth services, theater and music production team.

@@andrew.breton research the school, extracurriculars shouldn’t be much just some you take very seriously and outside of school, for example FBLA public speaking is a hat you compete in and you do competing outside of school

Should prob take bc calc

@@sanp2032 I actually got into WashU which fits me much better than Stanford lol

@@andrew.breton ohhh congrats. Wish you all the best. I think it's great that you know fit of your college and I'm sure you'll do better there than anywhere else

Yes

yep!

Did you find out? Please let me know

Hispanic isn’t a race. She’s a white person whose ethnicity is Hispanic. What are you implying though?

@@niyatsiyum4774 I"m not implying. I'm guaranteeing that she was evaluated differently than an asian or caucasian student. if straight up fair competition with an asian for a spot she would not even be close to competitive. not sure how being hispanic gives you an advantage priority when there are like 50 million hispanics in USA. I understand african americans and their generational hardship but hispanics? NO. That is why college admissions should be blown up and started over.

@@chemistryphysics716 She had a 4.8 gpa, a 1550 on her SAT, 35 on her ACT, took like 13 AP classes..... correct me if I'm wrong but an asian/white person can get in with those stats and with even lower stats. Her ethnicity didn't help her in the slightest, it was just hard work.
