At our school there’s this almost ceremonious culture around letters of rec. Some teachers have specific instructions (ex. one AP lang teacher asks you to email her to set up an appointment to ask for a rec letter, and come prepared with a printed out resume and a list of colleges) but for the most part, you MUST ask them in person. Must must must. Otherwise it’s tacky and you look disinterested. Also, it’s customary to get them a *handwritten* thank you note with maybe a little gift, like Starbucks gift card, or something more personalized. It would probably look good to do this at other schools as well!
You could also talk about what the best things you could do for your application during the summer. Possibly discuss jobs/internships/fellowships/scholarships in another video. Just some thoughts 😊
Greg Smith I’ve literally watch all your videos now. Plus all of SuperTutor TV. I gotta say thank you so much! I’ve learned a lot. You’re actually a legend!

You’ve hit us with an amazing video once again, Greg! Maybe you could talk about when students are in college, how they can stand out out in the job market and such. You could also talk about your life in Princeton and how it’s different from high school. What about networking and why that’s important (or not) in high school?
I feel like the way my school does letters of recommendation is really successful, but I go to a small school and I feel like this wouldn’t work well for a class of more than 100 or so students. In January, we fill out a form with our intended major and our top 6 teachers we would want to be our recommenders. On a teacher planning day over the summer, our teachers collaborate and find the best 2 recommenders for each person. We find out when we get back to school, and can switch if you realize there’s a certain subject you need a recommendation from. Then we send a résumé to the teachers we matched with and get our letters of recommendation! It’s a pretty complicated process but I feel like it’s still more streamlined than the way that some schools do it.

shit. my junior year is over and i havent really thought about recommendation letters. and what if i want to get a recommendation letter from a teacher who wasnt my teacher but whom i know really well? great video!
Some schools need or make it optional to have recommendations from people that aren't teachers. If you think that a rec letter from an outside source (ie, not a teacher) would help, then I would say go for it!
As a 9th grader going into high school, what advice do you have for me apart from the the usual like getting good grades and doing amazing extracurriculars? P.S: this video was really good!
Do extracurriculars you genuinely enjoy - don’t just do them because they look good on college. Get good SAT scores. Build a good repotoire with your teachers so they can write a good rec letter.
Vishakh Menon take your SAT or ACT early - start sophomore year. take both (if that’s something people in your region generally do) to see which one you are better at and then study and take your favorite a couple more times in your junior year so you can be done with testing by senior year :) I think honestly this is the biggest advice I ever received and no one talks about how early people should start testing. The earlier the better. If you can’t get a 1600 or a 36 that’s okay but aim to be in the averages for every college you’re applying to because after that it doesn’t matter.
Make a video about half year transfer, like how much possible is it and every details about it and what colleges accept it and what they look for in students
I’m taking the ACT sometime this year! Wish me luck! I’m in eighth grade, so I don’t expect that much score-wise. Also, should I put the STEM program on my application? My school has a program for students who excel in certain subjects. I am also in the Challenge or TAG program, which is more selective.
I got promoted to 8th last month and I have the SAT and ACT past qp without any prep. I got a 1000 on SAT and 26 on ACT. What should I give in the future?
Hey, I am going to go to a boarding school for the next two years (last ones) for my top choice I need 3 letters of recommendation, do you think it's a good idea to have one of the house parents to write one of them, or is it better to stick to 3 teachers? Binging your videos this summer, they really help!
Imo it's always good to have at least one letter thats not from a teacher (assuming the school allows it) because it gives a better idea of who you are in your downtime
"Prestige certainly will help in the job market." Eh, not as much as people want to think and multiple studies have shown that the numbers do not support this common assumption. Certainly, there are a small number of employers who are elitist and/or are too lazy to go beyond the same 10 schools when recruiting new employees, but pedigree is not all that important to most employers.
Hi! You definitely can still apply :) but be sure to include a balance of schools on your list. Maybe a solid 3-4 "top colleges", 3 schools that you feel 50-75% confident you'll get into, and then 2 schools where you know you'll get in with 95%+ confidence.
i have two questions. I am in 9th grade. I had A's and B's in semester 1, but in semester 2 two D's and all of them A's and B's (normal classes). Am I going get accepted in UC's if I get good grades in 10th-11th grade or 10th-11th? And my 2nd question is what grade dose UC look at?
I have a 30 on act but I have 4.4 gpa and I’m 2nd in my class. should I even bother applying to Stanford, uChicago, Vandy, Tulane, Northwestern? I know it’s a stretch but I just couldn’t get my score to raise
can i know the diffrence between computer science and software enignner?i mean i am dreaming to make good software or games.so can i do it by studying compter science?or i have to study software engineering
do I have a shot at getting into Princeton? I’m taking 2 AP classes in my current junior year, and these will be 4 in total, I’m planning on taking 3 more senior year, I’m trying to get into NHS, I have a passion for pursuing a law degree once I graduate college, but I don’t know what else to do in high school that will make my application shine. Any ideasv
Me worrying about universities/college Meanwhile i am 14 years old. Bruh But i also look at cs courses cuz I LOVE CODE, I AM ADDICTED TO MATH, I AM HIGH ON SCIENCE I SMOKE CODE I SNORT MATH I INJECT SCIENCE AHHHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH But for real, i love math, science and computer science
@@mango7416 yea but back then it was easier to get accepted into those schools - less competitive. check the acceptance rates to top schools from 15+ years ago.
