Yale student reacts to Devi’s college decisions 🤮🚫 plz don’t do what she did!  

Yeah ik it’s just acting, but that’s the reality of a lot of hs students today applying to just ivys and having no safety schools 😭

My sister did what Devi did & luckily she got into one of the ivy’s (UPenn) she had one safety school but the rest were all ivies. She got into the safety as well too

yess. There are some really great small liberal arts colleges. Good education is not limited to only ivy-league colleges

I didn’t really consider a 2 year college until midsummer after I graduated. But once I realized I could get through my associates degree without taking out any loans, and get easily transferred to a bigger school, I realized I had made a good choice.

It might not have been a smart decision to only apply to ivys. But out of any other tv show characters, Devi is one of the only characters who truely deserved to get into an ivy and in real life probably would have.

Imagine this: devi and ben both got into Columbia

okay but there’s no way that paxton who studying for like a couple months got into colleges and devi who’s been a whole academic weapon since elementary school didn’t get accepted into a SINGLE college😂

For once, I would like to see a smart and nerdy character apply for/attend state universities or community colleges. Hollywood acts like state universities or community colleges are for slacker students only. I had plenty of smart, nerdy, and hardworking friends in high school, and none of them went to an Ivy League college. Most of them attended state or city universities (like UT, UH, Texas A&M, etc.), and some even went to community colleges like Lone Star, Blinn, or HCC.

Apply to the community college around your areas dont go in debt and you can always transfers credits

Yes. There is still Stanford and MIT.😊

My uncle basically kind of did the same thing to me. The school that his son got into is like amazing and I'm very happy for him but he was just like why don't you try to go to that school instead.. 🙃🙃🙃 First off even if I had the grades. I think that just because it's a bigger school doesn't mean that it's better. Also I think that my school program wise is a lot better. Like yeah it's not an ivy League school but it is the only school in Georgia that has my program and it's like the 8th one in the country. ,🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

I am an Indian med student, studying ayurveda and naturopathy. My older brother is an engineer. We were naturally gifted at studies, but despite that it was very difficult to get admission in a good college for both of us (he studied in an NIT). But the saddest thing is that not everyone who works hard gets good marks in these exams, which are the ones that decide our future. There was a guy in my brother's highschool. Waa extremely kind & smart, but ended up failing the engineering entrance exam. Took it again next year, was unable to pass it again. And sadly in 2017 he exited himself because of depression and sense of failure. Another friend of mine who was also very good at studies applied into American universities but got rejected. It was very shocking, but it was just plain racism I believe. Indians are always very much discriminated against in the west for some reason and it's the truth. Americans have it easier compared to us, not trying to be rude, just stating facts. You people can actually get into college by many ways other than having good grades. Like quotas, submitying essays and stuff. But we have it worse here. Also, the competition is much much worse than you can imagine. So please don't waste that opportunity.

I got rejected by every college that I applied to.

where I'm from (unless you're rich and go to one of the 2 rich college prep private schools in the state), you don't go to Ivy Leagues. Even if u got a 4.0, 36 ACT, in a bunch of clubs, you're a minority and get into every Ivy League. That doesn't mean u go for free or will even get scholarships from them. Getting in is 1 thing but affording it is another. The top most perfect students here usually just go to 1 of the universities here, and completely free too.

She did work hard but she did have ups and downs 😂😢

I have like 3 safety state schools planned and then 3 ivies I’m going to apply to. Let you know if get in in 5 years

I applied to one college. Stupid I know. I got in anyway, and I’m on track to graduate in May!

Omg i just read ur college essay on an article haha

Devi coulda gone to Caltech or one of the UC's instead.

I wish I could apply to a safety, I need a full ride and only top unis can 😭😭😭

I applied to 2 universities, but they were in Canada lol. Got into both and ended up going to McGill so I guess it worked out.

"Safety" aside, applying to schools that you are overqualified for is how you get merit scholarships and full rides.

Yeah, I kind of did what David did except that I live in Kentucky and I'm broke so I can only afford $50 1 time so I applied to wku and I'm just gonna hope for the best.

Out of the 6 colleges im going to apply to only 2 are ivy leagues, one is a safety and the other 3 are in the middle

I only applied to Umich as my first and only choice. No backups, not even early action. Still got accepted, lol.

I'm glad I'm an older gen z who always had a high reading level and vocabulary.

me pretending to relate to this as if i wasn't a 3.8 student who goes to a state school

I’m going to apply to Yale, temple, and a safety school

I think every Ivy league aspirant should keep university of washington as backup school

I’m applying for every school ik I want to go i do not think I’ll enter an IVY but I’ll see😭

Well on the bright side at least none of them are know for being art schools, things got a little too crazy last time some got rejected from one

From what they show and allude to on the series, Devi had little chance at an Ivy.

Honestly go to a community college and if you’re getting a law degree or med school then go to a nice school. Don’t pay for Ivy League for your undergrad. I used to sell marketing and finance courseware for schools (including lesson plans, homework, simulations, etc) and many community colleges used this courseware as WELL AS HARVARD! So some students were paying 20x the amount for the same course.

What are Ivy leagues? where should we apply?

State colleges are still good

I don’t understand what Ivy or safety school. Can someone explain it to me? Why is it bad Devi only apply to the Ivy school

I’m a freshman and Ik damn well this is gonna happen to me 😭

Try UNC at Chapel Hill

I applied to 15 schools 1 of them being Harvard which I got waitlisted from. Plsssss dont be like this girl. Lol😂 be smart

Could you explain how she didn’t get into them? I just don’t understand

What episode is this cause I’ve been watching the series and I haven’t been able to find this scene?

Nightmare 😲😢

*🕉️ 🚩 🇮🇳 INDIA 🇮🇳 🚩 🕉️*

what episode is this??

Bro should’ve wasted high school being state level at a sport, that’s what I did

Eth Zurich admission for average college Top student is possible??

R u that girl from jubilee?

Ivy Leagues are only considered Ivy leagues because of their good sports programs too. So don’t go for the name go for what you’re looking for, like public, private, liberal arts, community, competitive, big classes, small classes.

Sister can you explain me i can't understand it I'm finding solution for this pls explain me sista💗

people actually do this?! lmfao jokes on them

I'm from the UK. I guess college equivalent there is Uni equivalent here. 😅I've had applied for York with another as a safety uni

Always have your insurance choice

❤❤❤

What is that can. same one tell me so I don’t do that too😅

Ivy league is a joke overrated as fuck

Is it a movie

The reality is that if you waitlisted at Princeton. You could definitely get into most University of California except maybe UCLA/UCB. Pretty fucking stupid lol

*gasp* my parents don't believe in what you just said and couldn't care less.

You said , " don't be like Devi and just apply in ivy leagues. That is a very dumb decision." So what's your advice?

But (I'm not american) can't she just apply to other unis after that? Or are you only allowed to apply once in your life

ivy league is a pretentious scam. just go to the cheapest option for christs sake

🗣️YALE🔊🦇🦇🧪🧪

Eh, it might be an acceptable move if you go to a “feeder” school and your college counselor thinks you would get into those schools. Honestly, if I were Devi’s mom I would send her to a prep school since the family had a high income and was quite ambitious.

Half of the Ivies aren’t even that good. I mean they’re good, but not “Ivy” good. I’m looking at you Dartmouth 👀

Even Cornell

time to live as a Buddhist monk 😅

My son isn’t even applying to a T20 school with 4.7/1500 international ECs, varsity cpt, killer teacher letters and more

What could be the other universities execpt ivies?

It is dumb but Asians have no choice other than to follow the decision made by parents at that age.

Or you could just not comment on others lives when you're sitting in an ivy? 😂

Of course, if you have no self respect for yourself and have zero ambition, you can apply to non Ivy Leagues.

When I watched Never Have I Ever it made me not want to only apply to ivy leagues because this could happen 🥲 you always have to have a backup plan
