The support I have received in the past week is genuinely beyond me, and all I can say is I'm grateful. Thank you for everything, and I hope to make the most of my opportunity - while helping every student I can, international or not.
My first film at the NGO: • Latika Roy Foundation
I made it a while back but uploaded it only recently.
This is the second video of a 5 part series on the college applications process. It covers all of my ECs, and a little bit of advice too. I will go further in-depth into SpectraVerse and building a non-profit in my video about Spikes.
The 5 part get into Stanford as an International Student series:
1. Stats
2. Extra-curriculars
3. Creating your own Spike
4. Essays
5. General tips I have
Relevancy dies in a heartbeat, and I would love to sustain this channel in the long run. Every subscriber counts and it really means the world.

Can you make a video suggesting activities for people who are in their late years of highschool and don't have exceptional extra curricular records but have other aspects (like grades, Sat, recommendations) near perfect? Can you also tell how we can capitalize on our activities. For example if somebody does drama/music very well or knows how to code professionally, how can that be demonstrated in the application in a unique way. Like for instance, shall they create an app, or start releasing original compositions incase of music?

Your video is amazing. The point is that only 1% of the people know about these kinda programs or ECs in India and people are not aware at all. When the whole Indian youth is running behind JEE and NEET it's very hard to bring awareness among people about SATs.Most of the high schools in India won't give opportunities at all. Its the main drawback. Honestly speaking I don't even know half the ECs which you were speaking in your video. You have to give a very detailed explanation to make people understand how you got opportunities and how was your experience. Moreover, your whole journey. (it's just a suggestion from my side ). There are many stereotypes about the schools abroad so Indians don't prefer to go outside for undergrad programs, I guess. Congratulations on getting accepted into Standford!

@ShauryaSinha 4 жыл бұрын

A lot of this information isn't being actively spread and I'm just doing my part in trying to help everyone hear about these ECs. I'm sure if you take my video as a starting point, and run a few searches you would be able to understand them a lot better. Other than that, if you have any questions, I would love to answer them :)

Because that's what I plan to do, and what i want to do. I was just interested in the admission processes and the requirements for joining these universities. Doing extra curriculars + sat right now along with jee preparation would be a lot of load on me right now.

1) Learn a hard skill you can apply to your in-person projects in the future. 2) Ideate about potential plans you have to expand your ECs. 3) Network. Everybody is at home, and you could reach out to students, collaborators, universities. Just a few thoughts :)

Hey Shaurya !! I have ended up binge watching your videos this summer and your videos really helped me get exposure to the various other elements to applying in colleges in abroad .Our Indian systems always taught us that as long as you have good grades ,you are sorted .It would be really helpful if you make a video on how you got the research internship and just kinda explain the whole process.

Hey, I'm Pranav from Kerala, The video was amazing. Thank you for posting a content like this. As I mentioned, I am from Kerala. Highschools here do not have such kind of clubs and other stuff that I can include in my extracurriculars. Is there a chance that I can get into Stanford and Other top universities without clubs and other extracurriculars provided from schools?? Outside of School, I know how to program and that is my passion. That's what I do in my free time. I make apps, games and websites. How can I write this as my extracurriculars???

@dianaanonymous5794 4 жыл бұрын

Bruh if u get good enough grades, you have a great chance at getting in. College vids say all the time that theyve created a website or an app, which ia a good EC. plus, stanford is right in silicon valley, where lots of tech giants are. So if u exert effort and do research you could get in

@@dianaanonymous5794 Dude, I have really good grades. If I was to write all my essays it would be like this- 1) Got some prizes in the Science exhibition in my school(I did something CS related) 2) Again got some prizes on a few regional and school level quizzes (Not CS related though) 3) Competitive Programming ( I do it in my free time. haven't concentrated on this for too long, but it's fun to do) 4) I worked as a Developer in an open source project which aims in providing free educational resources for students in low income families through a project based learning method. 5) I did many side projects such as making a few apps, websites and thinks like Neural Networks and stuff 6) Did a Programming Bootcamp sponsored by IIT Techkriti(that's like the tech fest of IITB) 7) Did a few MOOCS from EDx and Coursera related to Machine Learning, Deep Learning etc. DO you think any of these are decent enough to get into good schools?
