Iris Fu I love how clear and concise your videos are and how you post videos very often. You always have relevant and unique information in that is always interesting and unique. My favorite videos of yours are the ones that focused on passion projects and how students can start their own. I do not think that your channel needs much improvement, but I do have some video requests-(1) what you wish you did during high school, (2) great projects to do during quarantine, and (3) tips or advice to doing research or finding internships. Personally, I believe these videos would be very informative for students, but I am so excited to watch whatever you post on your channel! Keep up the hard work!

Though I have done debate(won 3 national championships), I founded a nonprofit organization, did other community services, and won a national business competition, I have never engaged in researching, no internship, no olympiad. I mean I have no academic extracurricular let alone achievements. If I manage to get a good score in sat and write dope essays, do you think my extracurriculars can land me in top universities? I know nobody can say. But still, do they sound impressive enough? ps: I am applying for fall 21 so I have no time to do any research or internship.

Guys if you're a master student and you wanna apply for a PhD in physics, are the extracurriculars in sport so important? The past years I've done so many courses and projects and self-teaching related to quantum physics and programming, even related to history of science, but I've only practiced one semester of basketball elementary level, just before covid-19. I see all these brilliants students who are really good at sports. Will this detail damage my chances?
