Yo could you make a video about winning science fairs or publishing papers? I think me and a lot of other people would love to see something like that.

In 7th grade, I tested out of geometry. In the first semester exam i got 95 but in the second semester one I got 82. Since then I have maintained a consistently good gpa. Is this going to be a blemish on my application, and risk my chances of getting into top schools? (The counselors at my school mentioned that the grades of that exam would go on my transcript, but it would be noted that I tested out of that course in 7th grade). Everyone tells me that this stuff doesn't matter, but coming upon college applications next year, I am very worried about this. Any advice?

Ayo, is that Johnny Sins?

Do you guys think being the captain of a sports team is like being the leader of a club

Stupid question, but is it possible to go to an Ivy League with less than a 4.0 weighted GPA?

Now I'm a rising Junior, wondering how I would get involved in clubs. Because we recently moved, the foundation I built is completely gone. Should I, in my new school, start a new club, or should I join some existing clubs and rebuild the foundation?

This is actually genius

Science fairs Internships Science Olympiads/Science bowls Volunteering

Do middle school grades actually matter? I took a summer exam in middle school to skip geometry and I passed but with 95 on first semester and 83 on second semester. Is this going to come back to hurt me when applying?

Just letting you know. The second to last one goes to Roxbury Latin. It is a major ivy feeder. So even if he doesn't get into MIT he will prob get into an IVY. It is kind of annoying because when you look at students' resumes from Roxbury Latin and other Ivy Feeder Schools, their applications are not even that good but they still get in. I go to a private school in Massachusetts also, it is great in academics but really small and lots of ppl leave the school. Pls help Pratik or anybody else.

I am in 8th grade and so confused. Please help! I don't know wheter I want to do science or something more in writing and government. Also how do you come up with a research idea

U introduced me to one of my dream schools 😭 if I get in I’ll be eternally grateful fr fr like ull prob get smtg in the mail if u have a P.O. Box 😭

RIP he caught my tactic on impressing people: btw I was impressing ur mom taking the sat @Preaching P :D

After studying for the past 3 days, I finally understand the concepts. Now my problem is understanding the questions, and also remembering how to do them.

I appreciate this video twin. Looking forward to my first college year when it approaches

But you did not make it…

"If I'm harvard, I'm sending your dad the acceptance letter"

soo handsomeeeee

scholastic hamza

omg i love science olympiad!!! forensics squad :D

Its my summer between freshman and sophomore year and i already feel so behind, jesusssss

I am really grateful for this content¦ I have school till 6pm, so this video is really helpful in managing my time for both my ec's and school work .

Saw this at the end of my freshmen year, i switched the internship and nonprofit steps tho. Started a nonprofit freshmen year so i have 4 years to really build it and i plan on doing an internship and shadowing sophomore year summer instead

for anyone who reads, I need some help!! So when I was a freshman and sophomore I wasn't told that I had to do anything and didn't know what to do, I just passed the classes and minding my buisness bc I went to a magnet school (a science magnet) and because of this I didn't do anything in the summer bc I didn't know we had to. I tried doing community service, but for transportation and money problems I couldn't do it or anything at all. Now that I moved to a different state I lost a lot of credits but I have learned a little and what I have to do. Im nervous because I don't know what to do or how to get back on track, and I would like someone to help me or if this has happened not anyone else and can give advice, that would be great. Thank you

can you suggest some sites to take mock test for free.

I am scared, I had to leave my school due to financial reasons so I can't even participate in competitions 💀

Guys.. I was scoring good,,, not each time I take practice test my reading and writing setion score keeps getting lower i have tests in 4 dayss.. I am freaking out here help me

so what i'm taking from the comment section is, any EC is good, if, you know how to play with your words.

Bro I’m from Bangladesh in my 11th grade and have one year in my hand and I want to apply for scholarships I’m harkworking but it doesn’t really matter cause I’m just not that much great and an avarage guy with finansial probelmsso how do I start? Should I score like hell in SAT and take toefl then apply for some avagrage schools? ''''I hope you reply’’’’ cause I’m like the first one thunking like that in my society...

I cannot believe this video only has 8K views and 543 likes, it should have way more. Anyway, just want to thank you Pratik, you've kind of been one of my mentors throughout this whole journey, and Ive been watching your videos for over a year now. I can definitely relate to what you were saying at the beginning of the video. I got rejected from a ton of my schools and it just feels like all the work I put into my applications and all the late nights grinding and stressing out were for nothing. I feel like I just wasted all my time. It really, really hurts. I applied to 15 schools, was accepted to my last choice (Fordham), got rejected from 9, and was waitlisted at 5 (Vanderbilt, Columbia, Georgia Tech, NYU, and Wesleyan). As of right now, I've already written all of them a fantastic LOCI and have done everything possible to boost my chances. But at the end of the day, it's all a game; sometimes I have no idea what the college is really looking for. Anyway, just wanted to thank you again. Watching your videos has given me some really good advice, and I'm thankful for that. Also I apologize for the super gay and zesty comments I left on some of your old videos.

Glad I am watching when I am in high school

Wdym the cons of medicine

For the crux I’m think of putting shadowing with 20-30 hours shadowing the top 3 orthopedic surgeons in my state. 25-30 hours shadowing an athletic trainer. And over a 1,000 hours shadowing a PT( I will be working directly under them in a part time job) Could I use this as a crux bc I went really in depth?

Rather than creating any type of organization, me and my friend are just thinking of creating an initiative where we work together to fundraise about 20 k dollars and then use that to help another non profit (I’m going to go into specifics) but would that be good to do and add on my college app?

Very Helpful. Thank you!! What do you think about University of Rochester REMS (BSMD) program?

“I am the way, the truth, and the life. and whoever believes in me shall not perish but have eternal life.” -John 3:16 1 Corinthians 10:31 “So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”

Also, remember that whenever you start is good. Obviously start as soon as you possibly can, but if you can’t start earlier for whatever reason start. Now. I’m 18 and was diagnosed with autism last year so situations like that make stuff like this a bit harder and that’s OK. We’ve got this.

This man is giving back to the community. I think he will benefit society by teaching medical students in the future. He can lead, communicate, and motivate. I am a Beaver, and I liked it when he trashed the University of Oregon.

Why didn’t I find this video earlier 😭

🤣😭😭🤣😭🤣😭 When you said breath out, I breathed in and out when you said in😭😭😭😭😭😔😔😂😭😂😭😂😂😭😂

Is the SAT Reading - Literature And History Textbook helpful for DSAT too ?

This is genuinely the greatest study video I've ever watched on KZfaq. I am gonna have to have to re-watch it. I can relate to most things mentioned and I already knew some of the strategies, but that only makes it clearer that this video isn't made upon some randomly AI generated script but an actual piece of work made by someone who deeply understands what they are saying.

doesn't use pomodoro*...................explains, how he uses pomodoro*, lol. Great video thought!

Could you make a video about capstone projects and IB in general

you’re so inspirational. tysm for making this

Perfect timing, thank you 🙏

Great! The only extracurriculars I have at the moment as a sophomore are MUN and piano 😭. Thank you for the advice
