I’m graduating this year and I’ll be applying to universities for 2024/25 academic year. So this summer and the beginning of autumn I’ll be working on my resume and boosting my chances of getting into IVY League and other top schools. Could you please recommend how to make your application to top schools strong so you’ll get accepted?

I am an 8th grader in India and I wanna get into stanford for cs, phy or chem. I saw your no bs blueprint vid for ivy League and a lot of that dosent apply to me, example - I don't have anything called clubs in my school, sure I have something called hobby that happens every Friday but the things they teach are at an elementary level. Can u make another vid for international students?

Preaching P, i have so many questions that make me feel like i am cooked, such as where to get access to all of the rec letter info, or any official college app documents, where can we get access to all of this?

For context I moved states and had to restart all of my extracurriculars, now just on an industrial engineering internship and taking ap and dual enroll classes

Amazing video. I have a question, as for the timeline you said one should apply to colleges by Late August - Early September. If I turn my application by November 1st will I be disadvantaged as compared to students who turned their application by September.

What’s your take on listening to music while studying, do you think it actually helps? If you can make a video on it that would be helpful. Keep making Awesome videos, thanks!

for anyone who reads, I need some help!! So when I was a freshman and sophomore I wasn't told that I had to do anything and didn't know what to do, I just passed the classes and minding my buisness bc I went to a magnet school (a science magnet) and because of this I didn't do anything in the summer bc I didn't know we had to. I tried doing community service, but for transportation and money problems I couldn't do it or anything at all. Now that I moved to a different state I lost a lot of credits but I have learned a little and what I have to do. Im nervous because I don't know what to do or how to get back on track, and I would like someone to help me or if this has happened not anyone else and can give advice, that would be great. Thank you

[Bartholomew]

How can I shadow a profession? How can I reach out and find someone to shadow?

Great video! I would love to consult you 1-on-1 but I have written you an email a week ago and still haven't recieved a response. I don't know if you haven't seen it or if you have a lot to do and can't respond which is completely understandable. Thank you very much!
