I just saw the Reddit feed with a bunch of people hating and calling you “arrogant” and stuff. I just wanted to say that me, along with 95% of your viewers, completely disagree. Most of us find your videos motivating, inspiring, and they push me to work harder. You’re by far the best college you tuber in the industry. Keep up the great work!

You are helping literally thousands of high schoolers with their college applications and I cannot thank you enough!!!! Love your videos!

i love listening to you talk! to me, a "soft spike" is adjacent to a "theme" in your application. im overall weary of people doing things for the sake of college, so i really like the idea of doing what you like and packaging all of it later :)

You're honestly ahead of the game as a freshman. I'm just _now_ starting to to recount all the tips/tricks I learned in college (at 25). You're gonna kill it at Stanford!

You’re more helpful than my counselor 😂

[설거지여왕]

Damn if only I had resources like these when I was going into high school...Kinda too late for me now since I’m a rising senior lol

[dylancotrioa]

I'm a freshman and I'm very grateful for your channel. This is very helpful and I love how you explained why you have to state why you do or chose the certain extracurricular. I'm so surprised you don't have a million subs but here is a special thank you keep posting 👍

[miriamtrujillo]

It’s incredible how much you’ve helped me this year. I recently hit an obstacle in my academic life where I didn’t know where I was going or why I was doing things, and I’ve always been super ambitious to shine in school. You’ve helped me understand who I am and what I need to do to recenter myself; I cannot thank you enough ❤️❤️

So basically: if you are pre-med/stem student, and have medical science study abroad/research programs for 3 summers, take Ap bio, ap chem, ap physics, and write your essay about how you want to use medicine as an innovation to positively change this world, its pretty straightforward?

My daughter and I have been binge-watching your channel as we navigate through the college prep process. It is, hands-down, the most helpful channel we've found. Thank you for all you do!!

[mohamedmed]

Great video. If you can make a video about the international students and the their application process during this case it will be awsome

[stailaagarwal]

i have been binge-watching videos about college admissions for the last six months, trying to navigate through the application process and working on my extracurriculars and this is honestly THE BEST and the most helpful video!!! Thank you so very much Iris, you're saving lives<<3

[froggyp]

this helped me realize that my activities more more cohesive and interconnected than I thought! thank you!

[arshiasingh]

hi iris!! i literally never comment on videos but this SAVED MY LIFE i’m starting senior year in like a month and i had no idea what spikes were until maybe a week ago, thank you for explaining this so clearly!!! love your videos so much and huge congrats on stanford :)

I paused the video to write this— I wanted to say that I completely disagree with all the haters calling you arrogant! I’ve been watching college videos almost nonstop for a year and your channel is by far one of the most helpful ones I have come across! What you’re doing is great and you deserve all the success that you have achieved. Personally, I do sometimes feel bad about myself when you talk about your accomplishments/show yourself being super productive. But I know that it’s all done with good intentions, and the way I feel doesn’t have anything to do with you! Overall watching your videos is super motivating and helpful for the college application process. Thank you so much 😊 p.s. the haters gonna hate!

[proportional_lettuce]

you're an actual college admissions god (i have a playlist devoted to your videos because they're so helpful). thank you SO much for sharing this knowledge, you and other highschool/college youtubers at your tier are the best guidance counselors and do it for free! love all of your videos and your general attitude <3

[friedrice]

I just came back to say that I finally figured out my spike! Don't wanna linger too long on it, because it isn't what I want to talk about. What I want to say is that figuring out my spike, finding a uniting purpose in what I have done, was actually a moment of self discovery for me. Almost like piecing little bits of me together to see something I didn't before. I understand myself way better now.

Iris, You're amazing! Thank you for always going out of your way to help us all. You are killing the game and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

[daemic]

Recently found your videos and I've been binge watching them since. I'm a rising junior and I always felt like I wasn't doing enough to stand out to colleges. Thank you so much for making amazing and helpful content!
