I want to thank you so much for this video! I was deferred from Columbia in December. I researched online for local alumni and emailed one. He responded and even agreed to have coffee with me and eventually even wrote me a rec letter. I talked about the convo in my letter of continued interest and I was accepted RD ! I will never know what got me in, but this video helped me soo much when crafting a unique letter :) Keep doing what you’re doing !!

Hey Greg, Fantastic channel! So glad I discovered this! I had a quick question- I heard you mention that your grades dropped senior year. How bad was it? I'm asking because so did mine (I have the worst case of senioritis!), and I'm worried my first semester's 1B and 1C will be a red flag to all the colleges I'm applying to. What are your thoughts on that? Thanks!

Great video! So it seems like the earlier parts of the letter were addressing a “why Princeton” type question, talking about all the opportunities offered there you’re looking forward to. If the school I got deferred from’s app was basically a “why this school” question, what do you recommend talking about in substitute?

@CollegeAdvisor 5 жыл бұрын

Great question! I would still keep the first paragraph sort of the same as mine, basically make sure to say that being deferred hasn't turned you off to the school. If possible, I would still include a section about "why this school," but you want to make it hyper-specific. Talk about a specific class that your friend at the school was telling you about, or a special program that interests you. It's okay to have a little bit of overlap with the supplemental essay, but definitely try to fit in some new points. It's imperative you rehash "why this school," because what you're trying to accomplish with this letter is demonstrate to the school that you are SUPER excited about it and it is your absolute number one choice. Hope this helped!

Besides doing a school mandarin club and getting good grades in Chinese class, what other extracurriculars that deal with the Chinese language stands out for colleges? I know you mentioned competitions in previous vids, can you name any specific ones that are noteworthy? Really what other things should I be involved in to develop this spike? Thanks

My school offered the "National Spanish Exam," here is some information about administering the test and whether you are eligible to take it: www.nationalspanishexam.org/index.php/exam-administration/test-dates-and-proctoring-the-nse Aside from that, you could tutor Spanish, start a Spanish club at your high school, or volunteer for an English-teaching program for ASL students who speak Spanish as a first language. Those are just some basic ideas off the top of my head if you want to get more involved with your passion for Spanish!

Question, How do you get a high GPA with a rough school? I moved mid year my freshman year and got stuck with teachers nobody wants, lost being in honers classes, failed classes, and honestly don't think I can succeed at this high school at all. I hate 90% of the people, would not be surprised if a school shooting happened, and the teachers are super rough graders that take off massive points for the slightest technicalities. One night I typed up a 7 hour story, handed it to the teacher (everyone else had just 2 periods) and got below passes after it being my life's work to get a 60.

@CollegeAdvisor 5 жыл бұрын

I’m sorry to hear about your situation. It seems like you commented on a different video and mentioned a difficult family situation that could’ve influenced your performance in school. The common app has a section to talk about these sorts of things, so I would definitely do that. I agree that high school grades can depend a lot on your teachers, and it really sucks that you got unlucky with that. There’s probably not much you can do this year besides continue to do your best, but I would sit down with an adviser/principal/someone in the administration to talk about how you’ve been treated unfairly and see if they can clear things up. Best of luck to you, and sorry again to hear of your unfortunate situation.

What was the process of founding a club at your previous school and how was the experience ?

@CollegeAdvisor 5 жыл бұрын

Starting a club at my high school definitely made me nervous. It wasn't really common for someone to start a new club because there were already so many! I remember that I had to write an essay about what the club was going to be, and I had to have at least 10 people who said they were interested in joining. Once I had this, I sent the 'club proposal' to the student government, and they decided whether it would become an official school club or not. After that, the biggest issue was advertising and getting more people signed up for the club! Lots of high schools have 'club fairs,' if not you could ask to do an announcement at a major assembly or post to social media to promote your club. Best of luck!

How do you send the letter to them? Email someone, or upload onto the princeton portal?

@CollegeAdvisor 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the question! If you have a college counselor at your high school, they should be able to point you in the right direction. Otherwise, give the admissions office a call (if you look up xxx college admissions office you can find their number most of the time) and ask how they’d like letters of continued interest sent, because it depends on the school.

Wait how do I get a college guidence counselor? I have a high school counselor but he's not much helpful.

Are you in high school currently? Unfortunately, different schools have different levels of college counselors. That's why I'm doing KZfaq-- I'm here to help out people who don't have college counselors that can give them personal advice.

I'm deferred from Harvard REA. I don't know what I should do. I'm so scared to because Harvard is hard, and I'm not convinced that I'm good enough for Harvard but I'm deferred. That means they are interested, and I'm still have a chance to become a student of the best University. Guys, please, help me !!!

Hey Greg, thanks a lot for the insight! I have a question though. I know this video is specifically about Princeton but I was wondering if you had some advice about Harvard too (I was deferred, sadly). I wanted to send my letter of continued interest but where exactly do I send it? Harvard doesn't really provide details about contacting the admissions office in its website... Thanks again for making this video though! It was really thoughtful of you

@CollegeAdvisor 5 жыл бұрын

Hey, no problem! The advice in this video applies to Harvard as well as Princeton! As for admissions office contact information, your guidance counselor is the way to go. They absolutely should have this information. If you've asked, and they don't, then I can do some research for you. Best of luck!

@@CollegeAdvisor Thank you so much, Greg! The problem is I'm an international student from Bangladesh so my school is very unfamiliar with the college admissions process in the US. However, I did ask my school's principal about it (who happens to be my counselor) but unfortunately, she isn't sure about it either. I did a little bit of research but I couldn't find any specific email addresses for Harvard. So, I was wondering if I should use my applicant status portal to send in the letter. I really appreciate you taking the time to read through all this!

@CollegeAdvisor 5 жыл бұрын

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble communicating with the Harvard admissions office. I just did a quick look on their website and found some info, but no email addresses. This is the page I'm referring to (they have phone number and mailing address). college.harvard.edu/contact-us I would try to make an international call if possible and inquire directly by phone about who to send your letter to. If that doesn't work, the best you can do is probably to mail your letter of continued interest to the mailing address, maybe preface it by saying that you weren't sure who to email but wanted to demonstrate your continued interest. I wish Harvard was more transparent about their contact info!
