Teen goes viral for sharing college rejection letter 

FR

Everything happens for a reason. In this case, maybe UCLA wasn’t actually her dream school and maybe she will regret it later on her scholarship.

I don't known

@@flvffcinnawhy would she regret it ?

@@charlotte8050 ivy leagues are known to be super competitive and hard to keep up

Literally!

frrr i’m so happy for her tho!

somehow ut managed to be #3 on trending here on yt

I LITERALLY SAID THE SAME THING BRO

Ikr like frrrrrr!

Go Hokies!

I bet you didn't get thousands of people encouraging you about it though.

@@sethaldrich6902 No, just the never-ending fear of disappointing a single mom who worked double shifts everyday since I was born just to put me through college.

@@jasonj8505 I'm sure she was proud of you wherever you went or whatever you did.

its okay you're black, your kids/grandkids will get into any school no matter the fact they aren't probably smart enough to compete with asians and jews.... OH WAIT Affirmative action no more!

She said in her video that it’s okay and it is gods plan she never complained

Real magic is fake.

I like the way she put it better, “rejection is redirection”

​@@loftonrudolph7586Nobody asked for this non-story either, but we got it anyway. Not everybody is going to act like this is the only student who received a rejection. Sorry!

Nicole is not high profile. She is a small youtuber. She is not like the other kid youtubers like

Well said!

yes! this comment...

​@@flaminhotakis I don't think having 3.3 Million subs should be considered small 😭

@@abectv She has probably taught them how to handle rejection and that it's a normal thing. But for some kids it might feel even better for them to see that the people they look up to get rejected too.

Maybe your son's skin isn't dark enough or not poor enough.

I'm genuinely sorry that your son got rejected by his dream school. We all know that feeling too well. My backups weren't too shabby. In the end, most of us end up working at the same jobs or companies or starting our own. It really doesn't matter where you go to school (for most career paths), it's what you do with the experience and who you meet in life as a result (because I wish someone taught me the importance of networking!) PS. College admissions has become extremely competitive. Unfortunately there's nothing else anyone can do to "stand out" from the crowd except maybe cure cancer because everyone applying to the top schools are already all top notch students. I wish your son and everyone else lots of love and luck in life.

I hope he gets better than what he dreams remember everything happens for reason

“God has a plan and purpose for you and His plans are perfect.” This is certainly true as your son’s story resonated with my son’s story. In 2017, my son graduated at the top of his class, had 4.0 unweighted GPA and 4.9 weighted GPA, did all the college and AP courses while in high school. By the time he graduated from high school, he already completed two Associate degrees. When he applied to UC Berkeley for BS in Chemistry, he got rejected. He did not dwell on the hurt but moved on quickly to his next choice of university. Fast forward in May 2022, he graduated with honors from a 5-year accelerated Doctor of Pharmacy and BS in Applied Science degree. He passed the Pharmacy boards at the age of 22 and is now thriving in his career in healthcare. God works in mysterious ways, and we give back all the glory to Him. Good luck to your son, and I guarantee that he is going to have a great future ahead of him.

School probably needed more “diversity”

She did. Most people doing college reaction videos do as well

@@kyleyuen Yes she did which I appreciate a lot, I just meant the college- videos on general

Older brother but yeah

older brother

older**

Lol yeah nah, older brother. I love Christian so much too😭

My de

a little dramatic. do you pray for families in Gaza? No- but this, yes? I suggest your priorities are not straight.

​@UTAH100 are you psychic? Do you know me? NO! I actually pray for this entire world, Gaza included. Your misery is shining brightly. I will pray for you also.

@@kiw4462 I don't want your prayers. Save yourself friend. This spoiled brat will be just fine. Pray her dad does not run out of money. Then she will hate him. Welcome to the real world son.

@@kiw4462 the replying person is very rude. Ignore them, I hope you have a wonderful day!

You need to get a life.

sameeee

ME TOO OMG i grew up with her

Me too 😭

Sameee

This comment deserves millions of likes. Dont get discouraged, get determined. Looks like it worked out for you. Happy to hear that.

Very well said. I love the last sentence "We don't know what success looks like if we never fail."

same and i'm honestly happy for her though, i'm glad she showed this

Which country are you from?

@@chocolatechips1776 Argentina. We actually have really good universities, you just need to complete successfully at least one year of the "introduction course". We receive a lot of international students because of this reason.

@@luanagarcia3119If US ran it like that schools would be overcrowded and it would be determined by “who pays the most” and quality levels would drop

Yup, first world problem, only in the news because she has a social media presence

Though my situation was different, I was also high achiever in school. When you are used to success, it is very surprising to be told no, or not excel at something. You think of yourself a certain way and it's a blow to the ego. But it's a good lesson and a chance to grow up a bit more. There are so many ways to be successful in adulthood, but when you're younger it's all about high marks and coming first in things.

love- really? a bit dramatic crystal. If she needed $4,000 for tuition, would you gift it to her? You love her right? I can get you her Venmo.

Amen to that! God has the most perfect plans in store for those who love Him 🥰

? You missed the point of the video. She was rejected from her dream school. It was a big deal for her. If you watched to the end, you would have noticed that she moved on and is excited to go to a different school instead

@@chocolatechips1776sooo many ppl get rejected from their dream school. she isn’t the first one

I never said she was. You, too, have missed the point.

i believe there's nothing wrong in setting expectations and having dreams like getting into a specific school. and having videos like this encourage parents and kids to talk about emotions felt when they sometimes have to mourn some dreams. its good to get it all out. she is honestly one of the most genuine youtubers ive seen and the college decision video as a whole is a beautiful testament what an amazing support system she has as well as her coming to terms with all her decisions. yes there is unnecessary pressure, i agree, must sometimes, we place it on ourselves as well and this video simply shows how she handled her dreams getting redirected.

YES i agree! especially with such a low acceptance rate, “dream school” was almost impossible for HER to get into. she should’ve expected it.

@@sparkleflames9648It doesn’t mean it’s any less sad

@@rosemaryandthyme4444 Standing from a non-bias view. You either get into schools with good gpa and extra curriculars, “worked hard” for her “dancing and yt channel” doesnt justify the ability of “hard work” she put into school, matter of fact she couldnt even get into any of the mid tier UCs then UCLA is far beyond reach, if its actually her dream school then focusing on school in 9th grade should be a realization not the yt. Though she earns more than enough money from doing yt now which justifies it

@@rosemaryandthyme4444work hard and hard work is different. If i can guess her gpa its 3.3

Can you share in more details how you "resubmitted" as a transfer please? Is that even possible to resubmit your application as a "transfer" the next year as a senior in high school....? PLEASE do share if you do not mind. My nephew would LOVE to find out if there's a way to do that. He's thinking of transferring anyway but if he can just resubmit and make it as a transfer now, he will be absolutely trilled. Thank you in advance! :)

@@dy-zz1hc Hi! Thanks for your question. From what I remember, I had to fill out and submit the Common App again as a transfer. The first thing was to select the application for transfers. Then I had to rewrite out all those demographic questions in addition to resubmit letters of recommendation and my personal essays. I just asked my high school teachers that had written letters for my first application as a high school senior to resubmit those same letters (so I resent them the letter submission invitations from the Common App). Basically it just was composed of resubmitting the same information in a copy and paste manner on the Common App (unless there was something that I wanted to change such as my personal essays, like I talked about in the original comment). The school I applied to had a couple different essay questions specifically for the transfer application, so I had to write some new essays anyways. If the school your nephew is applying to doesn't use the Common App, I would imagine it would be the same process of finding the application for transfers and resubmitting a lot of the same info, but maybe needing new essays specifically describing his reasons for applying as a transfer. Let me know if you have any other questions! I'll try to look out for your comment

Same. At the time it was like okay should I go to a private school in Boston for 45k a year (5 year co-op) program or a public university. I went with the cheaper option. My friend went to that school and transferred after two years to the place I went. I know I made the right choice in the end.

You aint lying

Exactlyyyyy, like look at her RU-vid videos she like spoil brat

It's like gurl stop, it's called life, their soo superficial

She did. And moved on.

@@encourageandrepeat8375 Clearly not she seems very depressed. 🤦‍♂️

We know that many people get rejected, but she's using her rejection to help others handle their rejection, and not feel like it's the end of the world. You have a problem with that?

She’s a RU-vidr and is known for really wanting to go to UCLa cuz she danced there (I think) and has bought a lot of merch. People have been following her through her journey in school and are surprised she didn’t get in

Ikr….idk why people are so obsessed with Internet personalities these days🦉

I agree, how did she think dhe’d get in if she got rejected from a school with a 40% acceptance rate

@@bobsmith5279 her talking about how shes 'making lemons out of lemonade' is like a slap on the face to people who also got rejected but arent youtubers

oh karen get a life

@@kangtaehyun3244 GEt a life

I hope everyone realizes that your dreams are bigger than any college.

she probably has mediocre stats unfortunately

not true

She is going to be fine! She is so positive and bubbly. Her bright spirit will lead her to have fun anywhere she decides tbh

@@123miaD I dont know what stats is but from following her, she at least at that moment used to be such a good student

@@ClaraMe9801Stats = Statistics He’s saying she probably has bad grades, GPA and/or SAT scores

Kinda have to agree with this one…

I don’t think so, people have been harassing people who got into UCLA and commenting on their social media since she has so many followers. She told ppl to stop, but if she wanted to reapply in the future that probably hurt her chances.

@@marshmallow7640that's crazy, why are people on the internet so insane lmao?

@@Adotworm Nah fr, harassment definitely wasn’t going to make them change their mind, they probably are just gonna double down in the future to avoid being put in the spotlight. Like if she did go there and something happened, they would have gotten blasted. Many schools don’t want uncontrollable publicity.

@@marshmallow7640 Gotta wonder what goes through people's minds when they go do stupid stuff like harass a bunch of students bruh
