Hey I want to get into ASU. I'm a senior and currently have a total unweighted GPA of 3.67 and SAT score of 1230. How were you able to get that 40k scholarship? I am middle class and don't have a lot of money and will have to pay for my own college, so the scholarship money would help a lot. Thank you.

I had a similar GPA and situation to you. I generally got decent grades in the other years of HS but I really badly fucked up my sophomore year also and that brought my GPA way down. I watched this video before I started applying last year and it really calmed my nerves seeing someone I could relate to as my friends with 4.3 gpas were talking about applying to Harvard and Northwestern. I just wanted to tell you that I took your advice on the Pepperdine essay and I got in today on early action! Thank you so much for this video and giving us normal kids hope!

Same, I’m currently a junior in high school but in sophomore year, I got 2 D’s and an F in an AP class. Freshman year I did good and currently I’m doing good but I really messed up last year. If it weren’t for the grading system when the pandemic started, I would’ve for sure not passed😅I also relate to the friend thing so much. Most got over 1100 on the PSAT and acted like it was bad when I could barely make 900. I enjoy videos like this:)

You have no idea how badly I needed this. I keep finding videos of people going to the craziest schools with the craziest stats. I went to a summer program recently at UMASS Amherst and I just felt dumb compared to so many people there with crazy high scores and aspirations to get into ivy league schools. It was seriously wearing down on me emotionally and made me feel like I was destined for failure. I know I'm not but the amount of geniuses around me and on the internet was really starting to weigh me down a lot. Thank you a ton for this video and good luck with senior year!

A lot of respect for you coming out on this video and not being ashamed of your stats and college acceptance/rejection. I hope this video can inspire other students to not give up their goals.

As someone who is also tanked their sophomore year, this video has been really reassuring. I feel like I had this golden child thing growing up and that a lot of people expected me to go to an ivy league school, but my stats really aren't there. Instead I chose to have decent mental health, pretty good grades, and a really great social life. Essentially I chose happiness. But now as I'm looking at colleges I'm having regret about how maybe I shouldn't pushed myself more, but it's reassuring to see another semi-average student making one of these videos. Thank you for sharing your experience!

People can grow so much beyond high school.

My parents only wanted me to apply to tough Cali schools, but I wish I applied to interesting out of state schools as well

@ureemjames3430

As someone who works for an organization that hires from Ivies, top state schools, and traditionally non-target schools, here's a little secret - after a while (it's surprisingly not that long), very few people will actually care what college you attended, and will care more about the values you hold as a person and the skill driven impact you're able to make. I'm personally not a fan of "College Decision" videos - it's a quick train to Depression City if you're someone who suffers from comparison anxiety/syndrome. Also, a lot of these "acceptance" moments seem immensely intimate - between children and their parents. So, I'm not sure why anyone would record that and put it on RU-vid apart from the obvious flex. I guess that's a "me problem". Sure, these videos help students that are trying to break into these schools, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend watching a dramatic vlog for information - better outlets exist. All that said, if it is your DREAM to attend an Ivy School/(Insert Brand Name School) and you don't get in at the collegiate level, don't get disheartened. You can always apply to said school for graduate studies - I've seen quite a few people from non-Ivy collegiate backgrounds at Ivy Schools for graduate studies. Congratulations on Penn State and Temple!

Very good comments about the essays! Yes, it has to be about you and your experiences. A professor told me that my college essay that it was not the best. However, it literally made a few of my friends cry. It was somewhat sentimental. Later, I talked to my admissions officer, and he said that there was no question that I was getting in. There were people who got in to this same school with much stronger experiences. Suffice to say, they did not perform as well academically in college. I believe that my essays were partially responsible for that admission, especially the big one. They told my story of exploration with languages, people, and study abroad,

Hey, hopefully this isn't too late but I would encourage you to apply early action to schools that care about/ are are able to, especially if they are test optional (as many are this year). The earlier you apply, the more money the schools have to offer, so usually earlier applicants get better offers. Wish you the best of luck just thought give a little advice.

I also had similar relatively "low" stats like you and overkilled over 50 college apps and made essays with those same tips in mind. It's really nice to other like-minded students... I'm going to document my process with this in mind.

I’m a junior and just an average student, so it was refreshing to see a video like this. The other videos on RU-vid really make it seem like I’ll have no chance at my dreamschool

I have a 2.8 gpa and I’m a junior finishing the first semester and I’ve done all the math and calculations on my current projections and I’m headed towards a 3.0 to 3.1 gpa tops. I take all ib classes but I’m not in the diploma program. This video was so helpful and I see what you mean by the internet just talks about the top 1%, you were the only video on RU-vid I could relate to. I plan on majoring in civil engineering as well and I’m hoping to get into a top 75 engineering program

hey man thank you so much for this calming and motivating video! im currently a rising senior, about to begin my summer before senior year, extremely confused and lowkey burnt out on what to do to polish my extracurriculars and catch up on studies... i think I failed physics in junior year which made me really really concerned and negative. I'm scared I couldn't get accepted to any uni. but this video made me realize that nobody's perfect. I'm not perfect, but that's "perfect"! rather than sulking on my failures and how I could've done better, I should keep my heads up and look into what I CAN do right now whilst being grateful for what I already have. 👍✨

Such insight for one so young. You definitely belong in an ivy no matter your grades. This is what universities should look for in a student. I am sure you are much happier with your choice and saved more money 👏👏👏

Hello Berkay, I just want to thank you for such an informative video! I love your attitude towards college admissions and you are so humble about your experiences. I really admire that. You seem to truly care about giving advice to us watching and not just about scores as well.
