For starters congrats on all of those great achievements! Also thanks so much for this video, all of your stats and extracurriculars were amazing, but they kinda helped put me at ease. Like most other videos people have won like international achievements in things, which just aren’t achievable for a lot of people. This helped show that there is a chance for a lot more people to be able to get into there dream schools so thank you, because I am s but less nervous know for my upcoming years in high school.

Hey! My school doesn't provide any AP or honors classes. Can that affect my chances in a bad way?🤔

@ElsieInCollege 3 жыл бұрын

All the admissions officers that I have heard from have said that they evaluate students within the context of their school, so if your school doesn't offer APs then they won't hold that against you but they do still want to see that you are actively seeking out ways to academically challenge yourself.

@ElsieInCollege 2 жыл бұрын

Drawing and painting have been a hobby of mine for many years, and I started out by teaching myself so I put down in my application that I was a "self-taught artist." I submitted my art to a few art competitions and won some minor regional prizes. I've also done some paintings as commissions/gifts.

Thank you! I'm probably going to be majoring in economics but I put down a bunch of different majors when applying to college (I think economics, statistics, public policy, government, and English were the most common options). I used Khan Academy to study, which is free to everyone online :)

Hello! my transition from 8th to 9th grade was taugh, I wasn't suppose be to in ESL class in 8th grade but the school put me in that class because there no seats in regular classes, so it didn't prepared me for high school sicne ESL classes were much easier than regular class, it did affetc my 9th grade grades, since there's a big difference in ESL classes and honor classes, I took honor classes in 9th grade. Should I explain that to colleges and they'll understand? Does it count as an extenuating circumstance? Thank you!!

@ElsieInCollege 2 жыл бұрын

I don't think it would hurt to explain it, you can put it down in the Additional Information section if you are using the Common App. Good luck!

Don’t do what I did to get into Harvard and Stanford. Send in your application on the very last day and then get into an argument during your alumni interview. My dad told me good thing you have a stellar record. My father was a great and extremely generous man.

Wow I finally found someone on the internet who did AP capstone. Do you have any advice for getting 5s on research and seminar? (I'm taking seminar rn)

@ElsieInCollege 3 жыл бұрын

Not sure if this advice is helpful but I'd say keep your scope of research as specific as possible and always make a thorough outline of your arguments and analysis before starting. Procrastination is probably the biggest challenge since Capstone is very unstructured compared to most AP classes, so I'd also say to make sure you know what your timeline should look like for the entire year as soon as you start class (for research especially). Good luck!
