How to get into MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Berkeley, Yale, Columbia, Princeton, ...? The truth about college admissions. This is why most of us take the wrong approach to college and university admissions. The secret behind successful college applications.

I talk about why we fundamentally take the wrong approach to college admissions. Looking at the statistics of admitted students is really misleading because it implies that having almost perfect grades, test scores, and extracurricular activities is the best way to get admitted. But in reality, this is not what admission departments really look for.

Hello, Samuel. Thank you for your content, I greatly appreciate it! Would Cambridge’s admission exam for maths be a similar case to IMO? Since it's credited as one of the hardest in the world I thought about annexing my score to my USA application.

Without a doubt these videos have so much more impact than learning for 10 min 😂 Could you do a video on your path to becoming a (tri)athlete? Which hurdles did you overcome and how did you train?

Hello Dr.Samuel, thank you for the informative video. However, now that I know I need passion, how do I find my passion? Is there a systematic way where I can find something that gets me up in the morning? Either way I appreciate your video; a trait of a well thought out video is if it makes the viewer curious. Godspeed!

Hello sir, I was happy when I watched the video My question is as follows: I got SAT 1511 and I got from ninth grade to eleventh grade GP3.4 but in grade 12 because of the war I got GP2.9 And I have great extracurricular activities. And strong courses from the American State Department, AMIDEAST and other institutions Is it possible to be accepted into big universities like Stanford Yale Duke

Hey I usually really like your videos, but I must admit I think your video is a little too close to Alex Changs Ted Talk about University Admissions (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nphhgtCb3tzNc2g.html). I think you should at least give credit to his Talk in the description or a comment. That's just my opinion, because it seems like your video is a copy of his Talk - I'm open for a discussion tho.
