hi all! for those asking about my essays, i don’t think i will be sharing them any time soon. they were incredibly personal to me, and i’m not quite ready to put them out into the world at this point in time. thank you for understanding, and i hope you enjoy the video! xx

She got nothing but a’s for 3 years. I’m so freaking jealous

Girl I need a time management video like how you schedule your days to be productive! I’m incoming freshman in college and I’m so scared my poor time managing skills are gonna ruin so many things. I want to actually be able to experience fun things alongside academics since I worked so hard to get into my school but I’m only used to prioritizing academics (and sacrificing well being) and that’s not what I want to do in college!!

Can’t wait to be rejected with all of my Bs and Cs

When she gets in Yale and Harvard. Me: *cries*

If it was up to me, I think Princeton made a mistake #qualitycontent

I’m convinced you’re super woman. No one can tell me otherwise. But for real, you are like, amazing. I’m going into high school and this video really motivated me. You worked so hard and not even Harvard deserves you, even though you got in hahah. And thanks for sharing some of your failures, I could really relate to that. You are going to do great things in your life, and good luck at Harvard!

Rumor has it that if you ask nicely, Christine will notice

These super smart asian youtubers intimidate me ngl.

jesus chrissttt in my public school we cant take more than 7 classes and you have so many more class options 😭😭 YOU GOT A 1550 THE FIRST TIME ON THE SAT im crying YOU GOT A 5 ON 7 AP TESTS IM SOBBINGGG 😭

And that is why I'm not going to get into the Ivy League.

this called me lazy in 20 different languages

She got a 5 on all her AP test I’m in awe

christine you are amazing and so humble. wishing you the best in college!!❤️

If your comfortable with it, can you do a video reading your admissions essay??

I'm a rising senior applying in the fall - thank you Christine!

I WISH I went to your high school! I have such big dreams and I do well with what I’m given, but my high school is very small and rural (not well funded at all). We lost 21 staff members out of maybe 50 on the high side. That meant that a lot of AP classes had to be dropped. I’m just frustrated.

She’s smart, humble, kind, and gorgeous ❤️

I can’t even process how smart you are

so jealous of the people who dont have financial problems, mental problems and just have a terrible life situation and can actually concentrate on school work.

me, a grad student, watching high school videos for some reason

her EC's are not exactly "pointed", more well-rounded, yet she still got into amazing schools which goes to show how you don't have to follow all the advice you hear from advisors on the internet and can just do what you love! :))

I know for you the SAT really worked out and I’m super happy!! But a piece of advice for incoming juniors that helped me is that I took both the SAT and ACT and found that I was able to score better on the ACT and submitted that instead of my SAT

NGL this made me feel so much better. Grades are pretty solid for me but I've always been convinced that my EC's are never enough

Imagine don't knowing anything of what that means, wanting to go to a USA university and your school does not does the SAT nor helps you preparing yourself for ANYTHING. Your extra curriculars aren't graded and you don't know to write an essay. *welcome to my life, im in freshman year of a latin american "highschool"*

I’ll be a sophomore next year and this is super helpful!! I love how you didn’t go crazy with 10+ APs and allowed yourself to do fun classes as well. This year I had the option to do 2 APs but only did 1 so that I would have room in my schedule for chorus... at first I was worried this would look bad on a transcript but you being accepted to all those amazing schools while still doing electives you enjoy gives me hope!! Have fun at college and congrats on being accepted to so many schools!

it sucks bc my school doesn’t offer honors classes and my class size is like 80

thank you for making this!! love you christine🤩

I CLICKED AS SOON AS I SAW THIS, I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG OMG I’M SO EXCITED

you’re the cutest i love u

I’m crying, this girl is AMAZING

watching this video makes me even more proud and happy for you bb as i watch this almost 2 AM

You helped me so much this entire year to stay motivated and work hard for my dreams and I feel prepared for the new school year now! I genuinely look up to you and when it’s hard you remind me it’s possible. Thank you a lot ❤️❤️

this just really motivated me before entering junior year. you’re amazing!! good luck at harvard

We need more KZfaqrs like this ❤️ keep up the amazing work girl

Thanks for this much needed video! I’m a rising senior, and I couldn’t be more nervous and excited about college apps, choosing colleges, and ending high school on a good note!

thank u for getting straight to the point unlike other youtubers who talk about random stuff, more vids like this pls! you’re so informative

I'm a rising senior! Schools starts soon and this is super helpful. Thanks so much! You're truly an inspiration :)

You’re amazing! Congrats on your successes!

Thank you so much!! I know you have no obligation to make this video, but this gave me so much hope to apply to Harvard Early action. Seeing someone like you to whom I share many similarities with gives the motivation to apply. Thanks again!🥰

Thank you so much for making this video, you are humble and such an inspiration.

okay pop off you're doing great sweetie :)

I don't know why I am watching this... I'll start my master's this fall haha. You are very impressive and amazing :) ! I guess I kinda regret not being as invested in high school, but in my country it doesn't really matter. You must have incredible time management skills, well done !

Loving this channel already. Love the 5 tips and her being religious (Catholic). ❤️ be blessed and enjoy college!

Wonderful video. Thanks for your down to earth advice. Your achievements are major and I admire your hardwork but you somehow managed to not intimidate. ❤❤

i don’t normally comment but i love your videos! i’m a rising freshman in high school and your advice is really helpful!

amazing video!! Thank you for the advice !!

there she be! my fav lil korean-american youtuber! 🥰🥰🥰 i’m so proud :’)

IT’S FINALLY HERE ♥️

yay earlyyy !!! love you christine !!!

Girl, you are amazing, you did so many things and efforts. From grades to extracurriculars. The american school system is so confusing. In Mexico we do one exam to apply to college and you have to do it right on that one, if not, goodbye acceptance card 💔 it's amazing though, you have more chances to get better grades and it gets you to (clearly) great places! Congratulations! And please share more tips ❣

Thanks so much for the tips for high school in this video! They are really helpful 💗😁😁 I'm going to 12th grade this year and I am very nervous and excited. It's scary because I dont know what college I'm going to get accepted into , the classes I'm taking as well as where I want to go to college . But overall , I want to experience college . Also, congrats on getting into Harvard🎉 I wish you the best of luck! Boston is an amazing city to live in

okay but editing goals?!!!

this video was amazing thank you! you are such an inspiration to me💕🤩

your hair is so cute!!!

omg thank u thank u thank u ive been waiting for this

This video honestly makes me feel better because it feels like every havard/Yale admit has a HUGE thing, like they had the cure to cancer, so this honestly makes me feel better :)

I REALLY ADMIRE YOU !!

can you do an SAT tip video? congrats on everything, you deserve it!!

I may have not been first, I definitely won’t be last But as soon as I saw this video I sure as hell clicked fast !

I'm so lucky to have had this video in my recommended videos. I'm Canadian, so I never hear about any college application requirements unless I take initiative myself. I'm a freshman self-teaching myself AP Biology, Statistics, Chemistry and Calculus AB, and thanks to your video I decided I should take the SAT Biology M subject test in June after my AP Biology examination. I would have missed the deadline and would have had to re-study the material!

This was really inspiring! Last year (sophomore year) I slacked off A LOT and when my grades came back I panicked because I was failing 3 classes, which had never happened to me before. It was a major wake up call, so I'm preparing for my junior year with the goal of a 3.8 GPA (at least) and being in the top 5% of my class. Good luck at Harvard, and great video!

This is an compliment, good one . Don't take it negatively (I am saying this because some might take it negatively) You really look like a doll (as per your age)

essays were definitely 🔥

omg if ur up for it plz make a time management video about how you schedule your days. I have alot of trouble w time management and any and all advice would be amazing!

U’re so pretty!! 😍💞

thank you sooo much for all of the advice!! im going to be a rising senior and i play field hockey too lol

could u do an everyday make up vid?!? YOU LOOK STUNNING🥰🥰💖

i cannot there are people that exist (like you) who are able to achieve such high scores and grades. SO IMPRESSIVE teach me your waysss

Just saw she graduated from Harvard ❤️ time flies. So proud of you ❤ keep inspiring!

you scare me. so much. but I am also super inspired :) :) love your vids!

Please do a time management video!! Xx

Hi my name is Cristina and I’m truly inspired by your videos, I’m my dream school is Harvard, you really inspire me to live up that dream :)

i love ur channel 🖤

Hope you can get through it I love your streams Love it so much

you are like the cutest being on earth😍

Imagine being this smart

ur amazing 🥺

you're so gorgeous!

Thank you so much for these!

No wonder why you got into Harvard....but yeahh you're my inspiration ♥️

At last,I found desired video of extracurricular. Thank you sooo much. Love from India.🇮🇳

Wow, you look amazing!! I loved your new hair:) Brasil here hehe

I know it's off topic.. But Gurl! You look super freaking cute!! And I am in love with your voice!! And you seem like a damn genius!! You are soo talented in all ways possible!

Congrats on all your hard work and acceptances you are amazing! I was wondering what awards/honors you had on your common app?

Can you please do a time management video like how you schedule your day to be productive. Like fun stuff outside of school and how much time you spend studying/ doing hw.

please do a video of "study with me" or "how I get productive" huhu freshmen stud here :) luv ur videos!

This gives me a little hope. I have similar grades and extra curriculars and while it’s no guarantee that I’ll get in to the school I want, it still reassures me a bit

okay so one question - how did you manage to take all those classes and doing all the extra stuff? i am shoook! how did you extend the day? please send me the tips haha. im not from us tho or other country that english is first language in, im from poland and i dont have time in school year! i only have time to do my homework, study for all of the subjects (keep in mind i dont have the same classes every day - each day i have something little bit different, in total i had like 14 or 15 classes last year). you're a hero to me! in fact, i think you are a superwoman! keep doing all the amazing things. big congratulations on getting into the ivys

Can you please film HOW TO STUDY FOR THE SAT ??? ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ 요즘 점수 안 올라서 넘 걱정이에요ㅜㅜㅜㅜ

this video called me dumb in 100 languages,,, finished off freshman year with a damn 3.3 lmao also I didn't know that counselors had to write a letter of recommendation, I've been to her office crying at least 4 times within the school year (our academic and emotional counselors are the same at my school) BIG YIKES

Ok this is crazy, we have the exact same SAT and PSAT breakdown: 1550 750 R/W 800 M 21/24 essay and 1500 PSAT with 740 R/W 760 M 224 Index score, NMS, National AP Scholar too.... I'm shook tbh. Honestly I can't believe you took the risk of only applying to 5 colleges (the best ones in the nation lol) but it paid off and you got into Harvard and Yale! But when I first read your acceptances I was expecting another superhuman asian with national awards and published research but when you went through your application it gave me hope. You seem like a really genuine person who doesn't do activities just to impress colleges and probably your rec's talked about how nice you were. I want to go into finance/ economics and there aren't things like science fairs, summer programs, and research for that area so I didn't rlly do that stuff and recently I was really regretting not doing those impressive things that I didn't rlly care about, but it was really cool to see how being genuine can get you into dream schools too. But I'm still amazed that you only applied to 5 schools... I had a hard time narrowing it down to 27.... I know it might be a problem but idk lol. And like the same scores that is legit voodoo or smthg. Is it ok to write humble things in your essays? I kinda want to talk about how I love animals but I am worried colleges won't care as much as me talking about my career goals and intellectual interests.

hi i stan u omg

i cant wait to cry this year!

Hi Christine! I need some advice! (Sorry if this is long). Just for some background info, I'm going into my junior year, and I'm not striving for Ivies--I am, however, looking into top 25/top 50 schools in the U.S. I've gotten straight A's (including 2 or 3 A-'s) throughout freshman and sophomore year. Last year, I also took AP World and scored a 5 on the exam. I need some advice on my schedule next year--I'm planning on taking APUSH, APES, AP Stat, and DE Lang/Comp (I plan on taking the AP Lang exam). For electives, I am taking the Newspaper--I took it last year and became an editor this year--and I am doing Writing Center as a writing tutor. I did Spanish for 5 years, and am choosing not to go into AP. I'm wondering, should I tough it out and take AP Calc or stick with AP Stat (I chose it because I am taking a doubleblocked science and didn't want to be too stressed out). Also, does this schedule seem competitive? My extracurriculars are pretty strong--I play tennis, have a KZfaq channel, participate in Marine Conservation Club, go to Sunday School, and I have two jobs (one as an unpaid volunteer). I also plan on starting a Bullet Journaling club next year and being in NHS. I just really want to get your opinion! Thank you so much!

As a senior with similar stats, you give me hope!

Christine, thank you so much ❤

You are so sweet! Thank you for sharing. :)

I am a sophomore and I barely have time for the extracurricular activities I do, I am a volunteer at my schools college and career counseling center, I am the secretary of my philosophy club, member of FBLA/DECA, and am the captain of my rowing team at my school. Also I aid at my religious school as well!

thx for making this video!🥺btw u like stunning💘
