waited for ALL my IVIES/UCs then opened them all AT ONCE (College Decisions 2018) 

i like how UCs are her safety schools

"Wow there's confetti" "yayyyyyyyy" "i have a 30,000 scholarship" "oh congrats"

If I got into Dartmouth my parents would probably say it’s a scam

"Yea I didn't get into Yale" my life story

yo you were quite calm, if it was my family they would have made so much noise, but any way congrats

*dakota casually reacts to 363763 acceptances* meanwhile i can already imagine me wheezing on the floor with all my rejections :’))

Gets admitted into Harvard.... “oh yay”

How were you so casual at the beginning? 😂 *i have a 30,000 scholarship* *oh congrats*

"I don't think I'm going to get in-" "I HAVE HOPE!" I love that girl! haha #1 Hype girl.

Accepted: UC Davis UC Irvine UC Santa Barbra UC San Diego Dartmouth UC Berkeley UCLA Rejected: Yale Pomona Colombia Brown Waitlist: John Hopkins Northwestern NYU In case you didn’t want to watch the video, congrats!

that wiggly shoulder patting your sister is doing is literally the funniest thing i cant even

Can we all agree that the trend for these make zero sense? Accepted at Dartmouth but waitlisted at NYU?! I got into Pomona and rejected from pretty much everywhere else including Berkeley. My advice to people going through this is apply broadly, because this system is close enough to a lottery that you need the assurance and the reach.

Love your confidence, I would be shaking in fear of rejection 😂

I just want to be accepted in life

- some people just don't get super duper loud and jumpy excited when they're really happy. they may seem calm, but they're really happy on the inside. that's just who they are. - 30,000 over 4 years really isn't that much for college. it may seem like a lot, but in reality, tuition is still going to costs tens of thousands of dollars per year. so, those of you who think that she is acting entitled or ungrateful because she doesn't seem super glad that she got what she did should really tone it down a bit lol

“ *I HOPE!* ” “i got into Dartmouth” “ *Dolphin noises* ”

Congrats!! Waitlisted at Johns Hopkins, NW and NYU but accepted at Dartmouth!!? Sometimes I don't get college admissions.

She has way more self control then I will ever have

Watching this from a British perspective is so weird.... like we're only allowed to apply to five universities and we do it through one authority rather than having to apply to every university individually- UCAS is bad enough I can't imagine having to track all these separate applications!

I guess she’s pretty chill cause she was a good student with a good grades so she knew she was going somewhere but my lazy ass was rolling in the floor when I got admitted to UCLA cause i spent most of my high school time doing sports and getting drunk at parties 🎉

My sister is a freshman at Dartmouth this year and is that happiest she has ever been. She has met so many amazing people and has already had so many great opportunities!

Roses are Red, Violets are Blue There is aways an Asian, better than you.

i'm sittin here w a solid 2.9 GPA, procrastinating studying for finals lmao 😂 congratulations on all your acceptances though, i can't imagine how hard you must've worked!

IMAGINE UC DAVIS BEING YOUR SAFE SCHOOL LMAOO 😂GOOD JOB GIRL YOU WORKED FOR IT❤️❤️❤️

My favorite thing about this video was how she was so calm when she got accepted or rejected, her reaction looked very genuine

"oh yay i got into ucla" i love how chill she is that she got accepted to ucla meanwhile ive been preparing my whole life for ucla and waiting to get rejected by that school and every other school ill apply too

I became very emotional invested in this very quickly lol proud of you tho!!

I've been watching videos w/ this theme my whole day and I just can't understand why you smart people don't cheer very loud. Everybody looks so calm omgggg congrats by the way

I got rejected from all the schools I applied to including UIUC, Harvard, Princeton. Stanford, UC Berkeley, UCLA, and UMichigan. I had a 36 on the ACT, a 1590 on the SAT, and straight a's all four years of High School. I took all honors Freshman year, AP EURO in sophmore year, 6 AP classes junior year, and 6 AP classes senior year. I also played varsity football, baseketball, and baseball with my leadership involvement in Indian Student Assosiation and my "Key" Club which is a community service club. It sucks badly. I guess I have to go community college :( I personally thought I did well on my application essay as I talked about an experience, so I do understand if my application was generic. However, I do not know how i did not make it into UIUC, or UMich because many of my other friends got into these colleges yet they did not have as good grades as I had, nor did they have the extracurricular. Also in my state, there is no specific division but there is a conference and I played in my state's top tier conference and we won the championship for basketball and baseball. I did have decent playing time too.

there goes my self esteem :) i literally can’t get into any of these, much less get a scholarship

I love how she is so chill about this

You have really inspired me to do better in school and I would love to be a great student like you. I guess I just needed a boost by seeing the reality of going to college. Seriously thank you

Based on the way you guys were saying cali, I'm assuming you guys aren't Californian but if you are I seriously would've considered uc Davis and uc Irvine, depending on the financial aid that Dartmouth gave out. The 30k means a lot when you're already in-state, and the priority registration goes a long way. Congratz either way tho, where did you end up selecting?

I love that your reactions are genuine. I am happy you are not down and out about not getting into some of the schools.

aww her sister is so supportive it’s so cute

i admire how calm she is during this...she took her rejections so well

You have such a great and supportive sister!

Could you please give me some advice into getting into the UCs? Like UC Berkeley, San Diego , Irvine and LA

I was so excited when you got into Dartmouth! I can't get enough of these reaction videos.

You have a really soothing voice! Congrats for all the schools you’ve been accepted to! Good luck starting college!

Congratulations! Hard work paid off :) I'll be graduating from college on May 11th!

Great job Dakota Ma! You're my hero!

you're so chill i love you

her friend is so supportive i love her

I laughed out loud when she said “I believe I believe” and she replied “I dont”

PLEASE TELL US WHEN YOU DECIDE WHERE TO GO

your sister is so cute the constant “I BELIEVE” and shoulder pats were great. Congrats on Dartmouth!

We all need someone as supportive as your friend in our life♥️

Fourteen Colleges??? Mate....I applied to like 8. Got rejected by every college except Jacobs Uni.

HOW ARE YOU SO CHILL ABOUT THIS???

I got waitlisted from NYU too!

Congratulations !!!!

Please update us on where you decide to goo.Thats really cool that you got into Dartmouth which is an ivy league! Congrats!

...Hi Dakota. I am a senior that graduated from CISS last year. I’ve seen you around, but I haven’t talked to you. This just randomly popped up on my recommendations, and I just wanna say that omg I am spooked... Anyways congrats on your decisions!!!!Enjoy your summer break, it’s going to be amazing!!!!

5:08 The fire alarm when I make popcorn

It’s not possible to not know your decisions and to wait until the last day, unless you completely didn’t check your email as the colleges you get accepted to usually send lots of emails inviting you to admitted students day.

Her friend is so supportive I love her

I know now: key word search when checking to see if my letter says accepted or not: "regret"

I’m somehow watching random teens’ college decisions lol

Wow, I'm watching this at age 32 and I had a very similar experience. Got into all the UC's I applied to (safeties); rejected from the Ivies I applied to (only top top ones), (but waitlisted at Columbia); got into Northwestern; I think that's pretty much it. You win though, bc you got into Dartmouth. $30,000 scholarship at Davis is amazing-I didn't apply to the lower-end UC's, and was probably too well-off (parents) to get a scholarship anyway. Ok, that's my story. Columbia didn't take me at the end. I wish I'd applied to NYU, or selected Northwestern. I went to Berkeley and I regret it most profoundly. Didn't do research before I picked-was so disheartened about not getting into Ivies, I just went where all my peers went: Berkeley.

you should make a video of what you did in high school as far as classes, extra curriculars, grades, etc

Congratulations! I found it absolutely hilarious when she open Pomona and zoomed into 'genuine regret'

Her friend being more hyped for the decisions than her is so cute

Is no one gonna give credit to her supportive friend :33

I love how the girl next to you is crossing her fingers 💜

Hi Dakota, which school did you decide to go ? My D has very similar outcome as yours, she is debating between UCB and UCLA. I am curiuos about your thoughts.

her safe schools are my dream schools 😭

YAYYY you did so well omg, congratulations you got into amazing schools!! UCLA is my absolute dream ahh, you're so lucky! Do you mind sharing your stats and EC's?(: would rly appreciate it!!

I wanna do this next year and open up all my decisions last minute. cool video and congrats on your acceptances!!

I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!

What was that at 5:13

Me looking at all of my college applications: *nope* *nope* *nope* and.... *N O P E*

omg how is she so calm i would be crying

Congrats on all of your acceptances! I find out about both of my top choices sometime this week and I’m so nervous 😬

Stanford grad here. I would've picked Dartmouth.

LOL This showed up in my sidebar Congrats!!!!!

Congrats!! Good luck deciding!

Love it!! This is really early coming from a British POV ( I’m coming into my first year of college ) but , I’m now persuaded to apply to not only Oxford , LSE and my other chosen 5 but , to consider some of these Ivy’s and UC’s 😊
