7. No practice tests for the SAT.
8. Common app essay was about my experience as a multilingual immigrant in elementary-high school, and then STEM.
9. I only wrote 2 drafts of the essay.
10. I didn’t work many hours on the essay: I went to my professors for help.
11. Only 2 people read my essay over.
12. I had a Yale interview. It was my only interview, I was nervous and was told that perhaps STEM wasn’t for me. He was surprised about my story.

This actually made me feel better. In all of those stats videos of people that went to like Harvard or MIT, they say they started 25 clubs, they started a social movement that raised $1.2 billion, they gave a homeless man their home along with their entire live savings, but these people were just in some clubs at their school and did community service.

When you're foreign and know nothing about GPA but you're still here.

[futurekillerful]

1. They were smart 2. Unlike most of us they tried in high-school 3. They actually prepared for months for the SAT or they basically treated it the way college students treat the LSAT ( not last minute). But the good news is (as I found out) you can make up for highschool if you do good in college. So for those that see this don’t be discouraged if highschool doesn’t go so well just make up for it in college.

Let me tell you a secret. The way you get into these schools is to show passion and care about highschool. That's it. The admissions officers can sense that. Good Luck!

[strawberry-fkzf]

that girls teeth were distractingly pretty

[thanksforthelove]

when that one girl said she got into every single ivy + Stanford except for Harvard I literally died

[yuh]

Do a lie detector test and ask USC kids how they got in

[MeghanRienks]

I understand why I didn't get into any good colleges....and dropped out lol

[afiaaddae]

you should do the interview with international students!!! it would be good to get another perspective on their application process

[alexbarragan]

youtube putting this on my recommended just to tell me I'm a failure

[tvds]

The lowest grade was an F-, but that hasn't stopped me from being the best I can be. I am now a straight A’s student. Anything is possible!

[avengerwidow]

i'm amazed at the girl who had a 1390 sat score bc yale's minimum sat score requirement is 1450 but i'm guessing she made up for that with grades, ap classes, and extracurriculars (and she was ranked #2 in her entire senior class)

[shehaa]

The Sudanese girl is so beautiful and well spoken, she comes off very intelligent.

[mirandahaws]

"I previously took the SAT and got a 1440 but the ACT did me right" UM YOU'RE TELLING ME THE SAT DID YOU WRONG?

[Cashpollo]

The girl in the white is “that girl” she hit us with the I don’t wanna seem like a try hard and said she didn’t check her transcript or study for the sat my guy 😂
