i've gotten a ton of questions and requests for this vid so thought I'd share ☺ definitely take this information with a grain of salt, like I said, nobody knows whether you got in because of something or in spite of something.
feel free to dm me if u have any more questions.. I'd love to help ☺ ☺ ☺

Luck plays a significant role in life. For graduate school, I applied to two schools: Stanford and Brown. I got both and went to Stanford (A.M., 1981). I don’t recommend my approach.

Awesome! Here's how my sister was the only one in her school to be accepted to Stanford...We're Asian btw😊......So besides the given top notch ap/sat/gpa/rank/extracurriculars/volunteer, here's what we think was the determining factors: She had a close Stanford ALUMNI MENTOR whom she collaborated on a project that also involved a Stanford PROFESSOR That professor vouched for her by writting a LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION She took pre-college courses at Stanford She was the creator and founder of a couple NON-profit online platforms Scholarships/grants and family high income would be able to cover her tuition and more AND she made sure early on that Stanford was definately the right school for her

Was your business an incorporated startup? I'm thinking of opening my own nonprofit and it would be helpful to know your experience with it (I also have a "small business" on etsy and was wondering if you have advice on this aswell?) Thanks and congrats!

Hello Debbie. My name is Victor and I am applying to colleges right now. I am thinking of doing an online business in Psychology because I am planning to major in Psychology. I also think I want to sell meditation stuffs like relaxation music, etc. Could you give me advices on how to start an online business? I am talking like how you would start an online business for a beginner, like me?

honestly, just create a product and list it online! theres lots of platforms (etsy, ebay, personal website). other things to consider is marketing, production and distribution
