Hey guys! In this video, I give you all a bit of an update on my life. I reflect on high school and my college application process, and then I walk you through the process I went through when choosing a college to spend the next 4 years of my life at.
From the title, I'm sure you all may see that I chose my state school over an Ivy. Do you think this was the right choice? Would you have done the same? Let me know in the comments!

Hey y’all! I realized I forgot to mention Stanford in this video… completely my fault!! Stanford was also one of my top choices but was mainly ruled out because of price, cost of living, and distance from home! If you are a rising senior looking to be mentored by me FOR FREE on your college applications, please fill out this form for a chance to win a mentorship!! forms.gle/MsWQ8yCsKWT295Jf6 I will also be offering paid services soon, so be on the lookout for that!

@JhayceeCoren Жыл бұрын

@@gamergurl142tm5 That is true for families that have what they consider "typical assets." Because my family's assets weren't considered typical (which was decided by their financial aid office using information I provided) I wasn't able to receive that.

The SMARTEST thing anyone can do, if it's a choice, is begin your life after college DEBT free!!! Trust me, I'm 41 and just finished paying my student loans. If I could go back and make a different choice I would, most definitely!! Congratulations on your amazing accomplishments and the amazing acceptances you achieved!! You made one of the hardest but most mature decisions of your life!! I have no doubt your future will be incredible!!!! God bless you and your (most obviously) incredible parents!!

I saw the funds for traveling and intentional study, and that is probably worth more than going to one of the ivys. Spending time in a different country is a great experience for learning different perspectives and personal growth.

The truth - the ivies dont need to give anybody money. They have so many qualified applicants no one is unique to the point they “want” you. This girl went where she truly was wanted and they showed it.

Ivies and top private schools like Princeton and MIT generally do not give merit aid. I guess everyone is equally deserving. They go off of family finances. As she already mentioned, if you are lower class financially, these top schools have a lot of money to give you. Our son had basically full-rides to MIT and Princeton due to being poorer. Our daughter went to a middle-tier private school on a full-ride but it was all merit/scholarship. All this to say, the Ivies don’t have to “show” you they want you. If you demonstrate financial need, they can be very generous. If you cannot show demonstrated need financially, they aren’t going to “gift” you any more money. Admitting you is their way of saying they want you.

Before watching this video I was shocked by her decision to go to UGA, until she started explaining all the benefits lol. She graduates with a masters and she can go for a PhD at any of those Ivies in the future if she wants to, quite easily without ever racking up all those student debts. Sounds like the smartest decision especially for someone who wants to stay in academia for while.

Y'all are crazy for getting on her case for not going to an Ivy or whatever. Like, have you seen that UGA financial package?? And all the benefits??? And a bachelor's AND a master's in just 4 years?????? I would've made the exact same choice. And UGA is a good school too, so it's not even like she's sacrifices anything academically speaking. She can use that college fund for a PhD in any of them Ivies while that student debt slowly crushes y'all. Congrats sis! I wish you the best! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I got into Brown University and Williams College in 1984. I chose Williams. If I were your father, there is No Way I would allow you to attend a state school with your qualifications. Adolescence is a time when you are supposed to face existential “evolutionary and spiritual selection pressure” for your own long term best interest. I grew up in housing projects in upstate NY, lost my family at age 10, and went through foster care and group homes before going to Williams College. My first college experience was really at age 12 when I was placed in a group home in Albany. The odds of me getting into Williams after being placed in a group home were probably 0.0001%. This is my long winded way of saying that I think you took the easy way out. You didn’t even apply to outstanding smaller schools where you make lifelong friends such as Williams, Bowdoin, Pomona Pitzer, Amherst, Swarthmore but are academically challenged via competition with your equals. Some of these smaller schools would have given you financial aid as well.

Yeah... I'm sorry to say this dude, but no one cares about the story of your life. She made the best choice FOR HER -- and objectively the best choice period, which you'd know if you'd actually bothered to listen to what she was saying. And are we seriously still browbeating on state schools in this day and age? UGA is a great school. And get this: UCLA, Berkeley, UMich, UNC, UVA and many more??? All state schools, all notoriously hard to get into, and all with top notch academic offers. So get off your high horse for a minute or something. Sheesh.
