This is def the best video you have made and the best video I've seen on YouTube for future college applicants like me

Honestly, this is some of the best advice that I have seen on yt and the internet, amazing job 👏

Hi Rishab ! Your videos have been a constant source of inspiration throughout, for someone like me who is currently in India and aspires to study in these prestige universities in US. These videos are still motivating me to put that extra effort in my final year at High School. Furthermore, I would like to have a short personal conversation with you on my current progress and would love to hear from you and get your guidance.

Thank you for all the hard work that you are putting in for all of us!

I think the misinformation surrounding how to get into top colleges by doing everything is just rampant, and for a couple of years that’s what I thought too

[SagarikaBanerjee-]

So basically, you find one specific word which describes you really well, find ECs related to it, ask people about their experiences, and join a club and create impact within it!

Hey Rjain. I’m hoping to work on courses throughout the summer to hopefully do better on my classes and exams, but my semesters are locked to September to June. I would love it if you could make a video on how to continue studying over the summer.

Hey Rishab, amazing video as always! I had a question that how did you manage research work along with school?

[scroogan]

Hey Rishab, would you ever respond to DMs asking you for help on crafting their spike? I feel like I'm all over the place with my EC's and would love some second opinions on what stands out.

Hey Rishab! I wanted to reach out and let you know how inspiring your videos are to me. I am currently going into 8th grade, and I learned about ISEF and all of these interesting science programs from your content. I want to do ISEF in high school, and I have a qualifying fair near me, but I don't have a lot of experience and don't know where to start. Input would be greatly appriciated! Thanks!!

The reason why 100s of Harvard applicants don't get in... is because of this... (points to JSHS medal). Dang, what did JSHS every do? 😥

Rishab, what's the music playing at 4:17?

[BrownMuindi]

Hey Rishab I made my own clubs and spent time on those instead of aiming for Honors, plus they weren't really my spike since I'm looking to join a CS major, should I be worried?

[kaushiktatiraju]

Hey Rishab, I am trying to go the medicinal/neurosurgeon field. I have written a research paper about neuroscience that was published in the youth neuroscience association journal, volunteered at hospitals for around 200+ hours, created a nonprofit orgabization that raises money for hospitals and done jobshadowing by a neurosurgeon and gotten an internship at a hospital company. I have a 4.8 unweighted GPA and 34 ACT and good AP scores and awards. I also play tennis at a national level (at one point, top 100 in the nation)Do you think it is possible for me to get into an Ivy League (preferably harvard, stanford or mit)? Is this a big enough spike

[greenartSTEM_]

Hey Rishab! I'm wondering about how many hours (if any) a day you watch entertainment (youtube, netflix, etc.), video games, or social media because I'm trying to figure out how many hours I can limit myself to for creating a productive schedule.

[pranavrajasekharuni]

What if my "avatar" comprises of more than one word?

[Toshiiwoohoo]

Hey Rishab... I'm preparing for examinations and one of them is to target the us universities... I'm not worried about written exam but worried about extracurriculars because I haven't much...and only 1 year is left of my school...please tell that what productive things I can do to upgrade my extracurricular profile in this one last year😭🙏🏻

How can you balance the few extracurriculars if their meetings are sometimes on the same day?
