Hey Ryann, YouTube recommended me your video and first time they recommended me something useful. I love the way you explained. Yes, please read your supplemental essay of Princeton. ❤

Congratulations on your academics and extracurriculars! You are inspiring for all your achievements. Very impressive. Let me share a little about myself. My name is Andres. I was born in upstate of New York. I lived there in my early childhood until age 5. I am a military kid, so I traveled all over the states most of my life. I have been to 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 4 high schools, and 3 community colleges. I graduated with my A.A degree in Liberal Arts from Valencia College on May 2023. It took me 6 years to complete with my A.A degree. Right after I graduated from high school, I was going to study Information Tech as a A.A.S degree, but I switched it to Business Management as a diploma due to my lower scores on the placement test for reading and writing. It was why I needed to go tutoring for help on those lessons in reading and writing before I started college. While I transferred from a technical college to a local community college from state to state, I have switched from Business Management to Liberal Arts as a A.A degree. I was always a part time college. For right now, I am working on my B.A degree in Communication and Journalism at Fayetteville State University. Next year in August, I will transfer my credits to University of Central Florida for completing my degree there. My minor was Creative Writing, but now is Theatre. I am going to school for becoming an actor and journalist on TV. I will be working on my degree in Journalism at University of Central Florida. Including my minor in Theatre. I am an author, so my first book title is called “My Life Journey with Autism as a Military Child”. It is already in Amazon. Next month, it will be a year that I published my first book. I just had my first book presentation at the library. My first book will always be in the library. I am still working on my second book that is called “As a Military Child with Autism while Adjusted to New Places”. It will be mostly part 2. It might have the same content as the first book, but it might have different chapters and a different title. Again, great job with your academics and extracurriculars in high school. Your video has great content. I enjoyed watching your video. Good luck with your top school. No matter where you go. God bless you and your family. 🙏

I live in Australia and we do not have as much competition to universities. I am in year 8, should I worry about my extra-curriculars and awards? I have a few ideas for podcasts, school clubs, Olympiads, business, music awards. Should I worry?

What did you submit to youngarts? I submitted work from my arts classes but they don’t rlly have a theme because it’s not AP art work (which has a big idea/theme)

Hey Ryan! Great video, you have no idea how much this helps. I have some questions though. You said in the video that you did most of the activities throughout all four years of high school. But if you were applying for early decision, you'd have had to send in your application after two months of starting it, right? My second question is, which major did you apply for?

[patblogz]

[haroldsmith]

Hey Ryan, Congrats on your college applications! Do you have any tips for other percussionists applying for youngarts?
