hi everyone! thank u for being so patient.... video is finally up!
after watching this, i realized that my extracurricular segment of the video is super vague... i didn't want to include toooo many details.... in my application, i focused on explaining some of the projects that i led and the impact that was made in quantitative form. for example, we hosted a shoe drive, and i shared how many pairs of shoes we were able to donate.
thank you so much for watching! more videos coming very soon...

I'm actually competing in the Virtual Business Challenge this year for DECA. Do you have any tips? I have no clue what the event is about, but I went to ICDC last year for ESB start-up business plan.

I've strongly good extra-curriular & honors with international awards received from UN, UNICEF, British Airways, but have a just nahhh sat score, 1410. So should I test optional?

I think so

someone got in with a 1370 so you should be good

@@Rickrossbesty Well, that's not necessarily how it works. It's all holistic. Someone with a 1300 who's homeless might be just as great as someone with a 1570+ who comes from a well-off background, so it all depends.

@@tdpencil2811 i’m not saying he’s 100% going to get in cause nothing is 100% i just said it because SAT scores aren’t all that matters so regardless of ur score you could still have a chance

@tdpencil2811 3 ай бұрын

@@Rickrossbesty true but unfortunately his sat is below the 25 - 75% benchmark for most of these top schools. His ECs might compensate but why take the chance?

Do you think a low gpa will immediately cancel my chances? I am an international student and we don’t have a 4.0 system but I have about 94-95 average for my highschool, I am taking IB. But there are other students in my school that also want to apply to Yale who have better scores than me. I am probably at top 10 out of 180, but I am scarred to try my chances. My ecs are good, but I never thought I would be able to apply to Yale, but after doing an extensive research, I feel I really do belong to Yale. It. Is my dream school, what do you think I should do? And also I am going to a very expensive private school, with an academic scholarship, and I don’t have that much many to spend on counselors. I am going to be working with a doctor, doing internship with a medicine company, and research during the summer, so I thought I would get ready for my essays during summer as well. I am just so regretful and sad that I didn’t maintain top scores during my years and missed my chances.
