applying early decision 2!! in my whole high school year i would have taken 5 ap classes and 6 honors but I will make up for it with my essays and extracurriculars !!! (if someone sees this comment to let me know)

His stats are terrible.

OMG, how did he get into any of these colleges with these stats? I know. He was not Asian.

Enjoyed your parents are awesome, Congrats....

What was your sat; gpa?

Why apply to schools you knew you wouldn’t attend? Why waste the application fee and cause someone else to be waitlisted for a spot you knew you wouldn’t accept? To make these videos? To massage your ego? Honest question.

Your personal statement was THE best I've ever seen. So unique. Congratulations on getting in to UChicago and best of luck for your future endeavors!

Wait so only get to list 10 ECs?

I like this guy

bro did not make any college content

10:36 yes dad they do!

in 9th and idk whenever he says "i opened my mail", i click my mail open just to realise I AM STILL A KID

Going to try to transfer to UCLA next year! Love this vid

Best Wishes!

Not gonna lie getting in to UChicago is impressive. I went to Yale for undergrad and was rejected from UChicago, it really is just random (kinda). Please share what college you did decide to go to

1st generation college student is something to be proud of!! My wife and I are both first generation college students. In our early 30s now and looking forward to our babies being in your position years from now! Hope college is going great for you

I've literally never seen anyone get into UChicago, congrats on being their only student lmao

hi ricky

Your ECAs are savage 🔥

University of Chicago with 125k. On the reveal, I'm thinking is it possible you don't choose this option. Good decision.

why did I js finish a summer class after 8th grade and get a B plus for a semester 😭

Should have gone to Berkeley

stats?

this was a great relief because my SAT ACT wasn't good but my AP is alright. your tips will help in my essay process this summer. also fellow Bay Area applicant is cool to see :)

Thanks for the content. Would you be able to read over my son college PIQ’s? He’s apply to UC schools this fall.

These essays are excellent

If you are waitlisted should you wait till the next year?

Such wonder videos!

Congratulations

Here I’am in 8th grade watching these videos since 6th grade, I really hope when I grow up I can too do these kinds if videos! Hope you are really happy that you finally succeeded into doing your own!!☺️💛

Wait u have been admitted to class of 2026? Why not class of 2023-2024? I’m a bit confused or did he apply 3 years earlier ?

Late but I hope Chicago has been amazing for you! I didn't get in, but my brother did and he enjoyed his undergrad there a lot.

Go Blue! From a University of Michigan graduate this brings back the feels man.

i watch this video, and it made me feel so good about my self knowing this guy blew atleast $100,000 on a degree he could have paid 1/10 the price for, if he invest this $100,000 at a conservative rate of 10% a year, in 20 years it would probabily be around $700,000. another suqqer bits the dust.

Haas came to a student fair here in São Paulo, Brazil. It was amazing Haas presentation. Next month a revieved a fellowship from Brazilian government to a 6-month visiting PhD research program at UC Berkeley and I am very happy and excited to be there

I can't stop laughing after you showed yourself in the store

You did really well and 🎉😊

Bro literally you remind me of a young Jerry Seinfeld

Very nice video. Appreciate the input you provided. Would like to see a video of stats if there can be one. 👍🏼

Can you share your stats plz. UMich Ross is my dream school

Ricky, Great video! I have enjoyed watching your video. It is very helpful to me! I am graduating with my AA degree from a 2-year college this semester. I have been studying at a 2-year college within 7 years. I was always a part time college student. During my senior year of high school, I was about to study computer specialist as getting my AAS degree. Due to my lower scores on the ACCUPLACER placement test for reading and writing, I had switched from computer specialist as getting my AAS degree to management as getting my technical diploma. I have took English courses as transitional courses and I took my first college level course for math as my management major which is called foundations of math because I had a high score on my arithmetic ACCUPLACER placement test. Also, I took an ACT in my senior year. I got a 16 on my math, and I got a 14 on my reading. They did accept my ACT scores from high school. However, I had to take ACCUPLACER placement tests for reading, writing, arithmetic, and elementary algebra from a 2-year college. I had to couple more months to start college. I graduated from high school with a 3.7/4 as my overall grade point average. It was back in the spring of 2016. I started college in the fall of 2016. When I moved from state to state at another 2-year college, I had to take the placement test again for reading, writing, and elementary algebra. I had to take English and math courses for development all over again. Later on, I took college courses for math and English at a 2-year college. I had switched from management as getting technical diploma to liberal arts as getting my AA degree. I have been working on my AA degree at a 2-year college within 6 years. After I complete with my AA degree in Liberal Arts, I will train for acting in the studio. Then, I will be working on my BA degree in Broadcast Journalism or Communications from a 4-year college within 3-4 years. My dream career is to be a journalist and actor. I have been taking theatre and journalism courses at a 2-year college. It was not too long ago. It was during the pandemic and endemic. My college as overall grade point average is a 3.1/4. I was in the Dean’s List for about several times. I have joined in clubs at a 2-year college for volunteer, business club, and Latin American Student Organization. However, I could not do it that much because I had to focus on my studies. Back in high school, I have joined Teen Center, and Spanish club. As my volunteer job in 11th grade, I was an office assistant at the main office. During the quarantine of COVID, I have been writing my first book which is called my life throughout with autism and being a military child. I am working on my second book for right now. I have worked on it during the day I got COVID. It was this past summer. Once my graduation ceremony is over with, I will include my first book to get published sometime this coming May or June. I will get it announced on CZcams as well. You did a great job with your academics and your extracurriculars. That is very impressive! Again, you did a great job with your video too. I was born in the city of Buffalo in New York. I was diagnosed with autism at age 3. It was before going to preschool. I lived there in my early childhood until age 5. I had to travel all over the states because my dad’s military. He is technically my stepdad, but I always call him dad because I grew up with him. I grew up with my Spanish speaking family who are from Colombia and Puerto Rico. My bio parents are from Puerto Rico, and my stepdad is from Colombia. My stepdad is the one in the military. However, I always call him dad because I grew up with him as I said before. I have a younger brother in my mom’s side. I have four younger sisters and one younger brother in my bio dad’s side. Also, I have a nephew in my first younger sister’s side. Wish you are the best of luck at everything you do. My name is Andres by the way. It is pleasure to meet you! God bless you and your family. 🙏

5:18 he looks like timothee chalamet

Your dad is asking the questions I thought when watching these - do colleges talk lol

Wowowowowow

Please give me your skin care routine 😭

How do you get an A in calc but a 1 on the exam

Pov: im in 9th grade rn

Berkeley is a dream school for many people and so is UChicago. Knowing that, if you have good qualities for your major, not being a test taking genius doesn't take away every chance of getting in makes me think that maybe the admissions process is not as cruel as I thought

bro must’ve had the greatest essays of all time
