HOW I GOT INTO HARVARD + 5 other Ivies, MIT, Caltech, & more | EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES + ADVICE

Podcast info:

********************

********************
Hi! My name is Jothi and I just completed my first year at Harvard University. As recommended by some of the comments on my last few videos, I just wanted to share some of my extracurricular activities that helped me get here :)

Of course, there is no concrete formula that will automatically get you into top schools. Just remember that each person has their own way of going about college applications, and this video goes over my experience. Hopefully you all can use some of this information too.

As I mentioned in the video, I recently started a podcast, Lightbulb Moment, interviewing women in STEM, Media, and Entrepreneurship (including iJustine, Sara Dietschy, Jessica Meir, etc). I also talk a decent amount about college applications throughout the podcast, with an episode coming soon on getting into #Harvard2025. Check out the podcast here!

As listed above, my socials are also below:

Hope you enjoyed the video! Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions regarding the college application process!

XO Jothi Ramaswamy
