Nice video! A lot of my extracurriculars and awards revolve around performing arts, yet I want to pursue engineering in the future, not performing arts. As a rising junior, do you think my "spike" will play a pivotal role in applications as I start building my resume around the engineering field this late?

I’m not sure, talk to an advisor!

Hey I can relate. Most of my extracurriculars are in the creative writing field yet I wanna pursue engineering so I am kinda worried about it . I am starting my senior year in August so i guess I'll apply for a science/tech related internship over the summer

Thanks for the video! My dream school is either Brown or Cornell but my gpa is pretty low (3.8) :(

Of course! Always apply even if you think your chances are low, GPA is not the only factor they look at

Do you think you absolutely need to do a sport to get into an Ivy League? I’m not the sportiest person and despise sports is there any way I can substitute sports for an art or music activity in which I go above and beyond?
@michaelkopacz Жыл бұрын
I don’t think it’s necessary. I listed it as an activity because I did it for so long, but I would not think they took my sport participation into great consideration

@@michaelkopacz thank you so much for replying! I’ll definitely try to take sports but it’s good to know it’s not something so important to get in

@@LMX_Edits I'll also chime in as someone who got into Brown for RD this year. I did like no sports at all and I got in lol, so sports aren't that important as long as you have other activities that make up for it!

I have a question. Why did you take that many aps senior year? I can't even imagine doing 8.
@michaelkopacz Жыл бұрын
I saw it as a challenge! Looking back 8 was definitely a lot, and I probably would have not taken 1 or 2 so I could have a lunch break, but they are not that difficult depending on the class. I only ended up taking 4 of those 8 AP exams, and in hindsight, taking more than 4 exams would have been very challenging.

@michaelkopacz Жыл бұрын
@@yeetyeet4479 there may be exceptions if you ask your guidance counselor. If not, it shouldn’t matter since I believe universities compare students against those attending the same high school and then locally, etc. Just do your best to excel and achieve outside of academics!
