Tbh "how good you need to be" is so relative.

no actually they're being honest. the main thing you need to do is be yourself. if having strong extracurricular involvement means being yourself, then by all means.

@@ibrahim-sz7pb Harvard is considered one of the best schools because of the amount of successful students they have. Just because you go into Harvard doesn't mean you'll be one of them. It's mainly the student themselves that can guarantee a good job. Basically what I'm saying is, Harvard doesn't necessarily have better studies, they just have better students.

@@ibrahim-sz7pb the studies aren't better you get the same knowledge

@@ibrahim-sz7pb honestly the studies are top schools are not better at all!! Most of the time they are worst and also very limited.

connections are part of academics

@Siddhartha dash you get it

@@neuralink7018 no they're not. academics and connections are a part of going to school.

Tbf it really depends on what your future is. If you want to do business, you pick Wharton (UPenn), if you want to do engineering, some state schools knock the ivy league out of the park. No school is objectively “better” than others, they each have their strong suits, but I’d say Harvard is Harvard because it does pretty damn well in almost every branch.

I genuinely think everyone in this video have parents with above average income

No, it's actually quite the opposite. There were record high applications this year.

The person who owns Chick Fil-a isn’t a burger flipper working in the kitchen, he/she is an entrepreneur just as majority of students going to such a prestigious university such as Harvard.

@@xum0007 ik, I said “owning” a chic fil-a, sorry if you were confused

@@xum0007 but it still sounds cool when it’s said something like that

ikr that film theory video blew my mind

@@Crusadezzz yeah I knew what you were implying. Using Chick Fil-a and putting it above Harvard in any context sounds shocking. But at the end of the day, both the Chick Fil-a CEO and the average Harvard student are in a similar boat.

Transcript and GPA, Course Rigor and School Profile (A School Profile basically lists every class that is offered at that school) Edit: Personal Statement, ECs, etc obviously matter too.

Recommendation letters, transcription/gpa/school profile (all of these 3 combined, plus your academic schedule rigor), extracurriculars and honors, essays. Like you said it yourself, test blind DOES NOT equal test-optional. It doesn't take much to google the difference (or even look it up in Harvard's website) and understand what it implies.

Basically EVERYTHING else you include. Being test-optional is something one should REALLY try to take advantage of. If your scores are bussin (34+ or 1520+), by all means, submit them. That's just one more component that may help you get in. If they're subpar, leave it out. ONLY show what benefits you! I know many classmates that include them regardless because they think including it will always be beneficial. NOT THE CASE! If you're only sitting at like 1490, don't bother including the score unless you really have nothing else to supplement your application. Note: Schools have publicized that 34-36 and 1520-1600 are treated the exact same! If you already fall into this range, don't bother taking it again. Note 2: Many may argue that 1490 is really good and I agree. For big boy schools, however, that is usually within the lower ends of the 25-75 percentile.

They weren’t for a little while during the height of the pandemic but I think they are requiring standardized testing scores now.

This was just a publicity stunt done by them so more people apply and the acceptance rate goes up... Nothing else

Good luck👍

All the best dude...

Aye me too 😭

same here!!

did you?

Being poor isn't a limitation for Harvard admissions, being dumb is tho

Literally me rn

Yes.

yup

Hell yea it is

No

No it’s not

bro why are we literally the same person💀

you just explained my situation word for word....only thing is that although I have some interests I have no idea what I want to study or at least get into..any tips

you got this!

hey girl how old are u cos honestly I've suffered the same thing and now as an 11th grader im finally doing something about it. id love to get in touch :)

Yea ur getting in , trust me

A degree shows skills, however you can still get skills and experience without getting a degree

there were other reasons I didn’t apply - I only had $90 in my bank account and I had to apply to a place I knew I could afford. plus I had auto admission to the place I applied to lol

did you not watch the rest of the video. she works in admissions office

She works in admissions.

@@praenoto college is a scam

Considering how you write your paragraphs I highly doubt they would have accepted you. Your sentences are also very choppy. I'm not even in highschool yet I write better than that. Also, it's probably an American thing but you had $90 in your bank account. I can guess its an american thing to go on a shopping spree and run their bank accounts dry. Eh, I mean I dont agree with the last part I said but how do you run your bank account to scraps? I assume your american, becasue they don't understand the value of money.

If you want to get into harvard then stop watching these videos and study

@@AkitoLite lmao

hey, not sure if im too late but there are several things you can do outside of school. if you have the freedom and your parents are flexible, you can see what connections you have, do an internship, see who you can get experience from. if you dont have that type of freedom, and are looking for more "at-home" things then there are several free courses you can do online and its extremely easy these days to learn a skill and become amazing at it independently. you can also start up an online business or build connections digitally. lots of options, you should be fine if you utilize them

wishing luck!!

@@nivethaanand3899 ty

Good luck my man. Don't wanna be that guy but a waitlist from Harvard is basically a "go fuck yourself". 2021 admissions had ZERO taken off the waitlist.

to get waitlisted by harvard thats an accomplishment. good job, hope you get in. clearly you are very very smart

@@mathmanchris666 Yea I actually got into Brown which is very good enough for me lol (but I'll still take a Harvard acceptance after being waitlisted anyday we'll see).

@@mathmanchris666 You are right. However I don’t think I am dumb. Because in my national exam, I come to the first place. I had the one of the highest score in our country. So that is why I am upset Harvard didn’t accept me.

@@kasualvfx4985 I got 7/8 on IELTS

Hahaha they do? Crap like that makes no sense to me. My university also uses the wrong everyday/every day and although it's a small state college, these writers should be professionals. 🤦‍♀️

I'm pretty sure they used it correctly. Everyday, one word, is an adjective meaning "used or seen daily," or "ordinary." "The phone calls were an everyday occurrence." Every day, two words, is an adverb phrase meaning "daily" or "every weekday." "They go to the coffee shop every day." In the description, they used "Every day" as an adverb, which is correct.

@@collinaestheticx1332 That's because they changed their description. ;) It used to be "everyday," not "every day." They fixed it, but regardless, it's not a good look for them.

@@sorry9861 ohh, my bad. I see they’re tryna be slick with that error 😂 😂

tip: dont be yourself. 5% is a low number and looking perfect is better than showing who you truly are.

@@Matthafford most ass advice ever and its not even a .5% acceptance rate tf

@@Matthafford that’d true I’m applying for Yale so

@@Matthafford lmao this is horrible advice. I know a kid who acted like a “model” citizen at all of his ivy league interviews, got rejected from every single one with the exception of Dartmouth. Now, this kid had great ECs, he volunteered (over 800 hours) at shelters, took trips to Colombia to help kids in need, did a bunch of stem programs, won awards in math and science. But he didn’t care about these subjects, he just did them to get into “hahvahrd.” And when you have no love for something you can’t show your interest, which is why he was rejected. Harvard isn’t looking for well-rounded people, they are looking for a well-rounded CLASS. People who will excel in life. Which is why another student from my school got into Harvard for RD this year, at it’s lowest admit rate (about 3.4%), alongside UPenn (wharton), Princeton, Brown and Columbia. He was really into Business, and he talked about it, a LOT. That’s not to say he didn’t do anything else, but he had his own *thing* and focused on it. He was himself, told his interviewers what type of person he is and why he’d be a great fit for his schools. That kid got into 5/8 ivies, Duke and Northwestern.

Definitely, Theres an added cost to attending such big universities

@Siddhartha dash .

@Siddhartha dash ok thanks

I would suggest you get a rec letter from a teacher who knows you best and is most related to what you plan on majoring in. For example, if you're thinking of majoring in biochemistry, getting a letter from either your biology or chemistry teacher would be helpful. It doesn't matter if they're from your old or new school. It's better to get a really good letter from a teacher who knows you really well than have a generic letter from a new teacher

Applying to Harvard post 2019 is basically like trying to win the lottery with the cheapest ticket. That is, if you have everything they “want”

I would recommend looking into the Netherlands as well, their international student policies are very very accomodating, and I considered it better than the US in my case.

Ik you trolling but the odds of the Supreme Court taking this case are like me making it into the NFL. They only take 100-150 cases out of over 7,000 every year. This doesn't warrant a writ of certiorari bc it can easily be decided by a lower district court.

@@colonelnoob3269 I clearly said they are gonna get owned by SCOTUS on the AA (Affirmative Action or as I like to call it, Anti-Asian) case, obviously not the hypothetical Wired case. They already took the AA case and the case is expected to be heard this year. The Wired case is undeniably copyright infringement, so it will never reach that far: they stole the exact video format, design elements, title format, description format, hashtag/keyword format, and more. It's a joke. Stealing all of these things together clearly proves this. They are lucky this video only has 40k views, so Wired won't sue for damages unless views increase 100x or more. But I hope they still make Harvard comply with the KZfaq takedown like a good dog. They can do that with little effort. While we may never see the Wired lawsuit, the AA lawsuit is coming to your theatres soon.
