How I Got Into Stanford, Columbia, Brown, and more! (My College App Stats: GPA, SAT, AP, EC's)
Рет қаралды 96,400
Күн бұрынHi, everyone! Today, I share my college application stats, which helped me get into schools like Stanford, Columbia, and Brown. Enjoy!
If you need any college application help, please check out collegeadvisor.com/lour-drick . The founder of CollegeAdvisor.com personally reached out to me, and after looking over their service, I would have to say that it would've been super helpful to me when I was applying to colleges. Again, if you need any college application advice and essay editing tips, feel free to take a look at collegeadvisor.com/lour-drick . Good luck with all your college application endeavors!
Ever since my college reaction video, I've been getting a lot of comments asking for my GPA, SAT, extracurricular activities, etc. I thought it would be good to create a stats video to answer y'all's questions. I do not mean to show of my accomplishments or flex on other students. My hope is that future seniors will find use in my video as they go through the college application process themselves.

You have to be able to drive by the end of your Sophomore year, possess a driver's license at the start of Junior year so you don't have to bug your parents to drive you to your numerous EC activities and attendance to advanced courses at local community colleges, etc. If you fail to achieve independent mobility by your Senior year, have your girlfriend/boyfriend drive you to your academic responsibilities and community services relevant to Common App and then give her/him a bunch of TLC afterwards. Lastly, have enough money to pay for the submission of your 26 college applications. 😂

ik I'm replying about a year after this video was made, but I wanted to say that it was very informative (extracurriculars made me panic though lol). I'm gonna be a junior so I still got about a year and a half until college apps, but I wanted to ask you this since my school only offers the ACT but I've already taken the SAT: would you recommend that I take both of them and submit each score? I know a lot of people only take 1 so I was wondering if getting good scores on both would improve my chances at getting in.

Can you explain to me how you get the Harvard book award???
@LourDrickValsote 4 жыл бұрын
it was an award given by a teacher who was an alum of harvard, and it came from the local harvard alumni association i believe. if you have any teachers who were harvard alumni, reach out to them to see if the same situation applies to your school!

Thank you for this vid - I learnt so much! Do you mind me asking if you think a 3.8 UW is good enough for brown, my dream school? (Also, just subbed)

hi siya, i think it would be hard to tell without taking a look at your course load. but a 3.8 definitely is a good gpa!

Hi I'm Spanish and I would really like to go to university in the US. I've been watching lots of videos and some people take the SAT and others take the ACT. Does it really matter which one you take? (I thought it may matter as the ACT has a science block) Btw I'm in 10th grade and I'm preparing for the SAT as I think is the only exam you can take in Spain. Thanks :)
