I cured cancer, brought world
peace, won the Nobel Peace and the Pulitzer, was the World Chess Champ, and interned directly for the UN Sec Gen….. Stanford put me on the waiting list and so did MIT

My highschool doesn’t offer half that stuff

[guy-etjs]

I did an internship for the president of USA, I became the president when I was eight, I coded 100 apps in fifth grade, I became a member of congress at age 8. Stanford and Harvard put me on the waiting list. 😂

This is so unfair cause half of our schools and colleges dont provide opportunities for us to perform such extra curriculars

[therealmagmalord]

Most of these are probably virtually impossible for me based on my location and situation. Not only that, but so is most else that is worth it...

studying abroad in highschool is insane work

Executive Council for school.. I don't even think there is such a thing in my country😅

[prankdanny]

crazy because my school’s student govt. isn’t even looked well upon as it’s very known that 90% of kids who do get in is bc they have friends who are already in sga so they convince the “advisor” to let them in aswell. i’ve seen kids who had good interviews get rejected from sga bc they weren’t close with anyone who was there while others had mediocre stats and interviews but got in bc two of their best friends were in it. our sga doesn’t even do anything that isn’t related to pep rallies and hoco

From a virtual nsli-y student applying for nsli-y this gives me hope you earned a sub.

[nnnccc]

is this in order? (starting from last to best)

[iceex]

Are some extracurriculars considered as the better ones because they are national level or something like that? Or awards? As I know there is no such a requirement, but how much does it mean?

[reemie]

Is it okay to do extracurricular activities that are along with your interests, personality and academics rather than a rounded?

[Equizmaa]

IS THAT HGIHSCHOOL QUIZ SHOW?!?!?! UGHHH I WANNA GO ON IT SO BADLY.

I also did NSLIY the summer after my junior year but for Mandarin! What was the topic of your Common app essay?

I am doing my three-year nursing training and at the same time I am doing my Abitur( High school) privately in Germany so does this count for harvard, Stanford, Oxford?

But in a previous video you said you were rejected by Stanford. This says you got in. Which is it??
