Incredible video, probably high praise but in my opinion your videos are probably the best for high school students wanting to stand out in the college process. Nowadays there are so many ways the college admission process is biased and unfair. Normally students that are underprivileged and who can't afford to have a tutor or a high-end college counselor often costing upwards of 5K. I float in the same boat, and often not able to have a lot of advice or opportunities due to the availability and cost. I think you are bridging the gap, and I really appreciate it. Thank you so much. And also I wanted to ask, I have published several research papers, but they weren't recognized for some prestigious award, or featured in some popular science journal magazine. I just put them out there in a local youth outreach magazine. When applying to college, especially at top tier colleges are their tiers of prestige? Like if you got your work published is that deemed with some sort of merit, or do you have to submit to competitions, and recognized for major awards? I was wondering if you had to deal with a similar issue when you wrote your book, distribution, and the audience is extremely significant, not just the fact that one wrote a journal paper, or book, or string of code in an application. Again thank you so much, I cant wait to see more videos in the future.

Yeah, I think lack of resources is a huge problem in the college apps process. Yes, there are tiers of prestige-some journals or publications are more well known, well others aren’t. Take into account the size of the publication’s readership as well as the level of difficulty for getting your work published there

As a HS senior, I'm very passionate about climate change and sustainability science and have been interested in it since middle school (I've spent countless hours researching), but I haven't won any awards or anything in the subject area, so I'm a bit conflicted

Hello Iris, Out of all of the college KZfaqrs I have watched, you, by far, have been the most helpful I have ever seen. Not only do you explain your stats and extracurriculars, but you also make videos explaining how you did what you did. No other KZfaqr I have watched has done that. I have a question to ask. Since I believe starting an organization may not be the best fit for me, should I try to write more than one book as a way to stand out in my application? I am already trying to create an independent research project as one of my "passion projects", so would having multiple books help give me an edge or should I try something else?

Hi, I'm glad you're finding this channel helpful! I believe in quality > quantity in this case, so try to get awards/press/media/distribution on one book rather than having none with multiple books. There're also other passion projects -- perhaps ones I haven't even thought of or done (e.g. developing an app, etc.) -- that you can try. Good luck!

I think the motivation behind your book will be the most important! Connect your "why" with your values and what you hope to do in the future. After all, that will shine through in the essays and help you stand out

I did a bit of researching and they suggested buying a domain for your name if you publish a book. Did you have to buy a domain? Would you recommend buying one?

@irisfu6929 3 жыл бұрын
I have irisfu.com, but started it only after college apps. For the book, it’d look more professional if you have a domain, but I bet a wixsite or Wordpress.com branded free domain wouldn’t really be a huge dealbreaker

Hi! So I want to publish this book that I've been writing for a year but my parents think its unsafe to put information about my bank account and tax information. What did you do for this part and is this website secure?

I used amazon KDP, and amazon is a very trusted company (many people input their credit card info on there)

Thank you! I just have a few more questions. 1.) If I didn’t publish the book could I still write it in my common app in the activities section? If so how would i describe it? 2.) Will college admissions officers search up your book if you list it in your application? 3.) Should I elaborate about what the book is about in the additional info section of the common app? Sorry for all the questions but ty so much :)
