22 year old teacher here. I gotta say my favorite part is prepping high schoolers for college because if it’s not over complicated, or made to seem you have to be valedictorian to get in, it’s much less stressful and they feel more confident going into the next part of their life!

@BMfixit Ай бұрын

Wish I had you as a teacher. I'm thinking these practices are not just for school. I've overwhelmed my mind with stuff lately that has me in counseling. I don't do homework because I've been diagnosed as a severe case of PTSD from detachment. My brother complained I don't listen and my wife left me after 32 years of being my best friend but my brother has taken his life and I'm alone now. I don't know how to do the homework to deal with this in group

Hey I know you probably won't see this but your videos have really helped me become more productive and objective focused. But I have a question, what do I do if I'm in my latter half of highschool and previous "eh I'll do it later"s come back to haunt me, maybe make a short about course corrections or ways to springboard from a safety college to a midrange or even potentially reach if possible, just an idea from a fan in crisis.

I got lucky with the essay. One of my Humanities teachers in Senior year was my American Lit teacher in sophomore year, and is a former admissions counselor. I wrote a chessay. The first edition, she tore apart within minutes. The second one, took me a while to do. I could not do anything with it for nearly two months because of the classic writer's block. Then I finished it, and my teacher quickly approved it. That was the only essay I had to write.

Thank you! I’ve started applying last month and realized how incredibly difficult it is to figure all this out. Each school is so different! So far I’ve applied to 2/7 schools, and my counselor is already sick of sending my transcript. Because my dual enrollment college classes are taken throughout 3 different colleges, I have to pay another $45 in fees just to send my transcripts to ONE college (not including the ~$50 application fee). Any tips to reduce these fees? I can’t afford to keep applying as of now, as I won’t get paid until next month :(

@danny-wd8cd 8 ай бұрын

Ask for fee waivers!

@alejandrosantiagomanriquen123 7 ай бұрын

ask for fee waivers and tell your counselor your situation. They can put it in the CommonApp fee waiver additional information so that it is more likely you can get a fee waiver.

@mahasharif3024 5 ай бұрын

Common app fee waivers are the way to go. If you have an admission counsellor then talk to them regarding this. And you'll easily crack this part of the admission process.

@kaineal94 7 ай бұрын

Don't restrict yourself to ivies man, it's genuinely just a label. Top schools are only made by the people that go there so you could get the same level if not better of an education than you could just going to an ivy. Not to mention if you set your heart on going to an ivy then it will probably be really disappointing if you get rejected when that time comes around. Keep an open mind. It's really good that you're starting to think about it now, but don't get entrenched with stressing over college until late sophomore year. For now, focus on your GPA in high school.
