When the world needed him the most, he returned.

I am scared shaurya's flying hands are going to chop that blue yeti mike !!!

I wish I had Shaurya to look up to and guide me during my high school years! Your channel is such a positive and realistic pov for all students in schools out there to achieve greater things in life.⚡

So waiting for the Stanford vloggsss to be on the channel🤧🤧

-said one happily dissatisfied sleep-deprived dreamer to the other

the smile on my face when I see shaurya"s video notification!!

ONLY TWO MORE MONTHS AND WE SEE SHAURYA ACTUALLY GO TO STANFORD GOD IM EXCITED

SHAURYAAAA, HEARTY CONGRATULATIONS ON 40K AHHHHH MANY MORE SUCCESSFUL YEARS TO COMEEE 🥳

You made your gap year really productive!! Congratulations on this great experience you got!!

Look at shaurya going professional with an asmr mic

Shaurya really does deserve at leasttt a 100k, mans been on the literal grind for the past year, and the quality of content is also out of this world :) (btw congo on 40k)

You’re such an inspiration, Shaurya! Big ups to you!

Loved it ! Thanx for talking on this topic , really needed :-)

your videos are so structured and easy to understand

Well here's my story , What I learnt from watching shaurya's videos for more than a year.. Due to online schooling I started spending a lot of time on RU-vid and randomly one day shaurya's college reaction video popped in my recommendation , watched it and subscribed ( the best decision) . Before watching shaurya's videos I was totally unaware about the US college applications , requirements etc .... I learnt a lot from his videos and adopted a lot of the tips and values . I don't know what future brings, but I'm really glad for being a part of this community (30% gang ). Shaurya thank youuuuuuu sooooo much for such a precious content. Your content has positively impacted me :)

Insightful video Shaurya.

Everytime I watch ur vids, I get value ;) Thanks for existing ❤️❤️

I really can't thank you enough for this particular video. I need to switch schools for grade 11 but admissions haven't begun yet and I got a rejection from a school I had applied to. I am left with nothing but to figure things out right now but I just could not. This video really helped me. Thanks a cupcake ton :)

Much awaited

Just AMAZINGGGGGGG!!! Keep going Shaurya! We love you

Congrats on you huge success this Gap Year! I hope there is more to come in you college life. Brace up! You’e going places 🚀 (also congrats on 40k 🎉)

Love your videos bro🥺❤️

We guys are so lucky to get SHAURYA'S CONTENT every now and then.... Thankyouuuuu

This video was so wonderfully insightful!

First and you are an inspiration to me and many others

This video definitely came out after some deep introspection and self realisation. The fact that you learnt so many things in a year and your readiness to put your thoughts out on such a social platform like RU-vid is bizzare. One thing leads to the other and I don't have a better example for that other than you. I'm glad you didn't go to Stanford immediately too or else this video wouldn't have come up. This is one of my favourite videos on one of my favourite YT channels.💫

Man your videos are just great. Am not even aspiring for SAT but your videos are Gold mate.

2020 shuarya : *cries about getting into stanford* 2021 shaurya : *creates a video about what he learned by not going to stanford*

congrats on your gap year successes !! can't wait to see what's ahead for you :)

Insightfulll Shaurya :]

7:55 that is indeed a very deep life lesson that many people who dream miss out on, and end up in wishful thinking that doesn’t benefit them, thankyou for the amazing point made, highly appreciated!

And the degree of separation worked between us too...you taught us tons of values this year and we're definitely looking forward for more of them...btw, CONGRATS ON 4OK, u still have a long journey and keep crushing🙃

Your video quality just improved by light years times🔥🔥

thank you for this video :)

Hey Shaurya, you're doing an amazing job! All your videos give out so much positivity, it's really inspiring. Keep it up and hoping that you reach 100K ASAP!!!

Even through I'm not a gap year student, this is honestly one of your best videos!

hey man just wanted to say i’ve been watching ur vids over here in singapore n rly enjoy the energy n positivity u give off :) ur videos r so interesting n provide such a fresh perspective. they rly give me the motivation n inspiration to keep working towards my dreams. wishing u all the best!

Hey!! This video was so motivational , we all needed it.. Please make a video on how you pursued a research internship. It would be really really helpful for many people..

So many videos!!! Letsgooooooooo

You are such an inspiration for the youth.

This location of filming is unbeaten! Love you Bhaiyya

As a gap year student myself, I totally relate and agree to everything! Amazing video!✨

literally a few hours ago, I was looking up internship and research opportunities because I've been considering a gap year and got so confused and overwhelmed. this video JUST popped up in my recommendations and I'm so glad it did. thank you so much and congratulations on getting into Stanford!!!

Been dreaming of a Roger Federer Cap since a while and here it is 😃

loved this

No one: Literally no one: Shaurya: 🗣GREETINGS🗣

Hey Shaurya! Great work!! This channel is really really helpful for people who want to nail their dream colleges. I am greatly amazed by your venture (SV).. Having a knack for social work as well as entrepreneurship, I really look forward to possibly work for such a great and innovative cause. Btw I'm 15 years old and studying in CBSE and am happy to see some Indian, who is helping college applicants to excel (especially someone from non IB board)... Keep up the inspirational great work!! Looking forward to SpectraVerse Applications :D

This video is so cool!!!

Loved this video😍😍

Seriously brother, you are doing a fantastic job at inspiring thousands of students all across the globe. I wish you the best of luck with your Stanford experience! Also, please keep on uploading videos even when you are at Stanford (was my dream to go there one day, maybe I will for my postgrad :) )

the amount of creativity in this video omfg

DEFINETLY HELPFULL... JUST WAITED FOR OVER 2 WEEKS FOR THESE 2 BLOCKBUSTER VIDS

Oof. The video and audio quality is out of the world. I am proud of you. Although this has been possible only because you were a part of the MANAV SQUAD!!

Congratulations for 40k!!!!!! Next goal 100k by this year (ik you will get it)❤️

Shaurya thanks for being such a wonderful inspiration 💯🌼

Thank uh sooo much.. Shaurya 😀

Congratulations once again for getting into Stanford. I really wanted to thank you for putting out all the content that you did it's helped so many students gain inspiration me included and I will forever be indebted to you for the same. Love you shaurya and love the content, keep it up and have a great day. (ALSO I'M SO EXCITED THAT YOU'RE FINALLY GOING TO STANFORD YAYYYYYYYY) Also two questions- Will there be any aid in this cycle of sdd applications? I really see a great learning experience in it but most of the people who I consult talk about my age and say that as an 8th grader I shouldn't apply. What are your thoughts? (I really wanna apply....)

I got into UPenn and was waitlisted at Stanford. But I’ll try the waitlist!

Shaurya you have been my sunshine in this dark period , Agastya must be soooo lucky to have you

You are a achiever🖤❤🧡💛💚💙💜

Give us a tour of your room, I want to see what is possessed by a Stanford student.

Hello Shaurya! Can you please make a video on what your highschool life/productive schedule was like

Hey sharuya! Great content. Also quick question, in the midst of unstructured exploration, there's a lot of imbalance where I burn off/take it too far on one day and then the next day there's the dip. Any thoughts?

yes he is right I am prathiksha from tamilnadu generally in south India taking a gap year especially south asian I was terribly misjudged but then I convienced my parents to let me take a gap year and I took a lot of extra time and explored it was worth it .I do recommend it too students.

THIS AMAZING HUMAN and I are separated by just 6 degrees of separation??? ps i love this video and find it so so insightful because I know i wouldn't be able to take a gap year , tysm Shaurya!!

04:23 Shaurya there's a non zero probability that I am your best friend's mamu's brother's nephew's girl friend's ex's best friend (did I get 6 degrees right?) Can we be friends now?

Hey Shaurya! Could you please tell how did you tackle the feeling of mission out? Like I'm afraid I'll feel left behind when my friends will be going to university? Did you feel this way during your time?

The 6th degree thing kinda makes sense, assuming that everyone knows at least 10 people, on reaching the 6th degree it's a million people Edit: 10 distinct people*

hey shaurya! how about a home tour? and how u work in a day? also when are u leaving for stanford, waiting for the vlogss

Why you fold your t-shirts Just curious?

Your unstructured exploration was great but what would you say to someone who literally throws every opportunity away because they think it's going to turn them into something they are not if they didn't naturally gravitate towards it? A person so receptive to change.

First ! Shaurya gang lessgoooo

Shaurya, what do you think about taking a gap year to re-apply to US universities? Specifically for someone who only became familiar with the process during the august of their senior year. Do you think its a good idea to take a gap year to take the SAT and get some internships to hopefully improve my profile?

I first head of 6 degrees from Veritasium and he mentioned that it’s down to 5 or even 4 to this day🤯

I just finished my high school and was planning to go to Canada but due to some financial reason I can't now, so i am thinking of taking a gap year ,I'll take tests, do internship. So should I go for it?

Hey Shaurya, loved your content....would love it if you have an interview with someone who is from IB ( International Baccalaureate ) and how they apply for their university in India a well as the USA and how to survive in IB for 2 years ( compiling DP program for 11th and 12th in India with IB ). Thank you

I am building a tech startup with some friends but my school does not allow taking a gap year.😥

i am stunned how this guy looks so cool and chill whereas i am fucked up with 10 CBSE 😰 plz someone help me

hi shaurya please make a video about best extra curricular activities for college please

Your editing is really cool👁️ what do you use for editings

Hey Shaurya! I would just like to suggest you to Collab with sankho I find your ideas very interesting as well as his editing is on another level. If you two Collab it would be a great video and I can't stop imagining about that. Hopes to see you two very soon Love ya. Take care and stay safe

Hey Shaurya, your mic isn't boosting your voice very well. You might wanna try using Voicemeter Banana (Basically a software Audio Interface). Adjust the gain and noise gate to minimize any background noise (Big issue on condenser mics). Edit: I think your primary recording device isn't set as the mic.

shaurya please make a video on how you shoot and edit your videos

Hi shaurya. It'll be great if you could make a video who's studying computer science at university college dublin or trinity college dublin.

Idk, I'm back again with the like before the videos..... you're going to be a big youtuber one day.

I really don't even know what to say right now. I can't thank you enough dude! Ok, since it's RU-vid I want to share something vulnerable : I was in a school till grade 10 that costed around 70000 per year or around 966 US dollars (i mean like the fees increased every year, this was of like my first two high school years or something). And it was gonna be 83,000 for grade 11 (1134 US dollars/something) and unfortunately, my family is going through a financial crisis right now so I am supposed to be changing schools. BUT, MY DREAM IS TO BECOME A PSYCHOLOGIST AND STUDY ABROAD THROUGH A SCHOLARSHIP/FINANCIAL AID (but i've heard that if you apply for a financial aid the chances are way less of getting in than a scholarship) AND SO, I NEED TO HAVE PSYCHOLOGY AS A SUBJECT IN 11th AND 12th. IN MY CITY, SADLY THOUGH, ALL THE SCHOOLS THAT OFFER PSYCHOLOGY COST PRETTY MUCH A LOT (as per our financial situation rn) AND MY PARENTS MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD IT. :( EVERYTHING IS SO UNCERTAIN, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO RIGHT NOW, BUT HEY - IF THERE IS A WAY, THAT YOU COULD GET INTO AN IVY LEAGUE OR A GOOD US COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY WITHOUT TAKING PSYCHOLOGY IN HIGH-SCHOOL, PLEASE LET ME KNOW! PS: You inspire me a lot and I think that I'd write a novel and read lots of books if I took a gap year and maybe a lot more (but since you said that I can do it without taking one let's give it a try)!

I hope I do get into Stanford😩

I have a doubt bro, if i choose economics in my application as my intented major but after i got accepted and join the stanford and got my interest changed into computer science, can i change it in my first days of class itself... What say person can can switch from business school to engineering school if that apply....

6:42 if students can't afford the fees to pay at least the consulation fees to get into usa universities how can they even pay the fees to those universities even if the got 100% aid they still need to money at least 5-6 lakhs/annum to spend

I am firstttt ayeee

Would you give some suggestions to speak English fluently like u🙏please

I dropped out of high school 🎒📚 and I really regret it. I had issues at home and probably even psychological issues. Wouldn't recommend a gap year to anyone. Stay at school. A degree is crucial even in the digital age. It has been a really tough ordeal for me to go through this nightmate odyssey. I am looking to write private exams and get secondary and senior secondary school certification

Hey Shaurya, I love watching your videos. It will be more interesting if you help me out of something. My school does not allows students to wear casual dress or graduation gown and cap at the graduation ceremony, but I want to wear the gown and cap, & I have an idea of funding for everyone's gown and caps myself , but how to convince my school management for this?

Your favorite books ka list please!!!
