I wish I had a guide like Crash Course back when I was applying for college.

[TheZacharias]

On the essay,
You kind of have to sell yourself without making it look like that’s what you’re doing. More or less the best way to do that is to be very reflective about the essay process and try to express what is essentially *you* in the essay. Not just “what is this story I can tell about myself” but “does this story capture the core of my being, or at least an important aspect of it?”

[daniellejenkins]

I love love LOVE crash course! Idk if you guys would ever be interested in doing this, but I would love/greatly appreciate a series just like this about applying to graduate school (law school, med school, masters/PhD programs, etc) I know that it’s a super specific demographic but I think the content would be very beneficial to those who love this channel already!

[Macieks]

Admissions to college in my country are as simple as can be. You literally don't do anything but just let them know you want to study there. They accept students based on how well they did on one standardized test every student in the country takes at the end of high school.

[somsauntie]

I would love to help people apply to college. I love the application process more than anything. I did it twice for undergrad, and twice for grad school, and now I get to help my cousin apply!

[Macieks]

I remember how when I applied to high school I was only accepted into one in my list. It was actually the "reach" high school, number one on my list.

[kmmusic]

If you can, visiting the campus is really helpful. Some campuses you’ll feel at home in, others you’ll know right away that it’s not for you. It sounds so strange to say you should make sure the vibe is right, but it really comes down to that, at least for me.

Now we need Crash Course Post-College on applying to jobs and other aspects of professional world aka Adulting!!

[edswalkthroughs]

Just wanted to mention that there are some states across the U.S. that have application systems in which you fill out all your information and submit that to all the schools of your choice. Essay choices are sometimes the same for schools so you can just submit the same paper. Definitely saves time and was the reason I applied to like 9 schools in Texas within a span of like two weeks 😂

[StephanieRZ]

Lol I remember paying $50 to submit an application years ago, along with the completed application & got zero response back… When calling in for technical difficulties as well, I was hung up. Completely rude. I resolved the issue myself to pay for the application admission… Got zero response as the end result. I didn’t care. — In total, I’ve tried 7-8 different colleges and universities & just obstacles are definite, especially financially. It’s an interesting process to say the least. Best of luck! * I still chose to continue though. :) Just alternative routes ie correspondence learning, and a licensing program. Everything works out as it needs to.

I'm a junior. It's 12:05 in the morning, and my brain is stressing me out because i dont know how to apply to a college. (Hoping this is normal:)

[davidbright]

First step should be to figure out what you can afford and what your degree field will be then what the average cost will be. Cause attending a community college while living at home then attending the local public 4 year for say a total cost of 40k is a better choice then paying 120k to attend a out of state school. When both degrees will pay 100k

[srijandas]

This video was very useful. I just entered high school a few months ago and was lost and on what exactly to do.

[pixel]

While SAT is not always important, you can get scholarships which are helpful

[rylenorth]

It’s a great video with good tutorials, but I had this guy at my office talk about Stray Administration and how they made degrees, was a decision I will never regret. ❤️

[zacscalafini]

Will you guys being doing an episode on transferring? Such as from community college to a 4 year school?

[yourfavoritepessimisticexi]

I was literally waiting for the next episode of this series!

[raffyreviews]

Thank you for making this, I’m trying to apply and got out of the military due to injury 2 years ago. I have been trying to wrap my head around the overwhelming process and with some memory loss it’s difficult to stick to and not lose track

[Forestlover]

Love this channel. I appreciate all the hard work you all do to produce all of these fantastic videos, really helps me study. I would love to see another college video on choosing a masters program and how to apply, etc. Thanks again for the videos!!

[Fit_unicorn]

does anyone know where I should go to talk to someone about what I should major in/ what I should study in general? I know I need to go to college for a job that I want but I'm not sure exactly what job? I know I'd like a job where I mostly work from home, and I'd like to work 6-2 or 9-5 Monday through Friday so I'm thinking a telehealth therapist because I'm interested in psychology, but I keep turning around and going "but is that REALLY what I want to do for the rest of my life?"
