SPILLING ALL TEA ON HOW TO GET INTO AN IVY LEAGUE (YES YOU!) Harvard + University of Pennsylvania
Hi everyone! I included timestamps for those who want to know about specific parts of the college application process. Chinaza and I talked for a good three hours, and I was able to cut it down to what you see here. I know this video is semi-long, but I really wanted to leave in the tips that I genuinely thought were important.I’ve had people that are younger than me & still in high school reach out to me to ask for advice on the college admissions process & for help in revising their essays. We decided to make a general video that hopefully answers most of your questions.I graduated from high school two years ago and have helped a few people here and there with proofreading essays & general advice. & Chinaza’s literally superhuman so she’s been getting a ton of questions on how she got into 7/8 of the ivies + Stanford, Duke, Johns Hopkins, etc. I attend the University of Pennsylvania and she’ll be attending Harvard. I thinkkkkk this will be the only kind of video that I do on college admission stuff, but we figured that we would make a video to refer to people when they ask us for advice. I hope this helped! Our dms are always open if you have any more questions or need help proofreading for an essay.That being said, pleaseee remember that we are just two students, who are just trying to help others!Timestamps:STANDARDIZED TESTING-The SAT (Our scores): 3:35-SAT Subject Tests: 5:52-How to Study: 7:00-AP Exams (I talk about how I didn’t submit my AP scores): 9:51COURSE SELECTION (this is NOT a formula, more like a guideline): 11:56-Grades: 14:13EXTRACURRICULARS (I included screenshots of small portions of my RESUME in this section for a little guidance for formatting, if you need it): 14:44COLLEGE RECOMMENDATION LETTERS (& how to ask/approach teachers in the best way): THE APPLICATION ESSAY (Tips + Tricks): 23:33-Common App Essay: 23:46-Supplemental Essay: 26:56SAT Book Recommendations:1. https://www.amazon.com/Grubers-Complete-New-Guide-2018/dp/0941022374/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1531721653&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=gruber+sat&psc=12. https://www.amazon.com/Official-SAT-Study-Guide-2018/dp/1457309289/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1531721708&sr=1-1&keywords=collegeboard+sat3. https://www.amazon.com/SAT-Prep-Plus-2019-Strategies/dp/1506235158/ref=sr_1_8_sspa?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1531721708&sr=1-8-spons&keywords=collegeboard+sat&psc=14. https://www.amazon.com/SAT-Prep-Plus-2019-Strategies/dp/1506235158/ref=sr_1_8_sspa?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1531721708&sr=1-8-spons&keywords=collegeboard+sat&psc=1Last but not least, remember that the admission officers just want you to be the best version of YOU that you can be.
