Thank you so much!! This helped me a lot. One question though, would colleges prefer volunteering over work because it’s closer to their definition of “service to the community”? I’m currently working but I can also squeeze in sometime to do volunteering, although it might be pretty stressful to balance that on top of studying for standardized testing and working on my college apps. Should I do it anyways?

Hi small 11/12 year old! If your scores on state testing are in the 95th percentile or above, you qualify for DukeTIP. Basically, your parents sign you up to take the psat or act (I took the act) and if you score above a certain point you qualify to take weekend classes, or go to a three week residential program to study at a college

Greg I have a question. So I’m thinking about doing some summer programs next summer at some of my top schools. Let’s say my two dream schools are Stanford and Columbia. If I were to due like a 3 week program at Stanford, would that better or worsen my chances of getting to Columbia? Would Columbia feel like I prefer Stanford, so it’s gonna hurt my application, or are they more interested in seeing how I challenge myself and the level of programs that I do?

I am currently a Research Assistant for an economics Professor, but my interest is in govt./law. I will be a Junior in Aug, and the research is on racial, gender, and income inequality in the US. It's for her next paper. Is this an appropriate extracurricular even though it does not involve politics or law?

Kaliber - Gaming I took a seminar course on economics at a liberal arts school nearby, I was really apprehensive at first, but the speakers really conveyed their passion so I began to be interested. This occurred over spring and then the course ended and summer began, so I reached out to the prof that organized it and asked if she knew any colleagues that needed help and at that point she offered me to work with her and I accepted lol; I worked on her paper throughout the summer and fall until Winter Break

Hey Greg, I am in a bit of an issue. You said in some video that it's good to start studying for the SAT when you're a sophomore, I am a junior, and want to start but I don't live in the US. And since I live in israel, my country requires me to serve in the army for about two years after I graduate high school. Is it too soon to start studying
