    @theredcube1 Před 8 lety +37

    huh that's a funky acceptance pattern... what's ur specialty? also congrats on all of those acceptances, I bet you worked really hard for them

    • @eleniarizona
      @eleniarizona  Před 8 lety +10

      +thatmonolith lol why is it funky..... i wouldn't say i have any one specialty- but i'm really into creative writing, psychology, languages, and social activism. and thanks haha :)

    • @theredcube1
      @theredcube1 Před 8 lety +7

      +EleniA haha the only reason I said funky was because of the washu waitlist and the stanford acceptance... wasn't expecting that. And creative writing and languages are the bomb!

    • @eleniarizona
      @eleniarizona  Před 8 lety +16

      +thatmonolith ohh yeah haha washu is kinda known for waitlisting people they don't think will go and i never visited so i guess it makes sense LOL

    • @purefatdude2
      @purefatdude2 Před 8 lety +15

      +thatmonolith WashU waitlist overqualified students because they know they won't go there. There is nothing weird about that. If she accepts the waitlist, I'm pretty sure she will get in. WashU uses waitlist as a way to test a student's interest in the school.

    • @rebzeng
      @rebzeng Před 7 lety +4

      +Kcee Landon The school I go to offers fee waivers for those who qualify for free or reduced lunch prices; since it's in California, we get 4 CSU apps, 4 UC apps, and 8 private waivers. Collegeboard also gives app waivers to qualifying test takers.

    Hi girl!! Could you please do a video talking about your financial aid experience?

  • @morrisonhannah

  • @zargdominator7771
    @zargdominator7771 Před 8 lety +16

    Why would anyone apply to all the ivies. Schools such as Columbia and Dartmouth are not remotely similar

    • @eleniarizona
      @eleniarizona  Před 8 lety +28

      +zargdominator77 i can't speak for everyone who did so, but personally i made the decision to apply to all the ivies because lbr who knows what kinds of people these schools are looking for! not me! so i just let them decide if they thought my personality would be a good addition to their school or not. and ultimately i applied to the number of schools i applied to because i was applying to mostly reaches and there was no way of knowing if i’d get into even one of them.

    • @AllxChannel
      @AllxChannel Před 7 lety +7

      zargdominator77 I'm applying to all ivies simply because I hope if three of them won't think I'm interesting one will

  • @denizbadeakkoyun3947
    @denizbadeakkoyun3947 Před 7 lety +1

    I don't get it. Is Stanford not an Ivy?

    • @bananagoomba9103
      @bananagoomba9103 Před 7 lety

      Deniz Bade Akkoyun no

    • @jdsce
      @jdsce Před 7 lety +8

      Deniz Bade Akkoyun ivy is the name of a sports league among 8 east coast colleges which all happen to be elite. So, ivies are elites but not all elites are ivies. Stanford for instance is on the west coast so there is no way it would ever be associated with ivy.

    • @cassiezigray6669
      @cassiezigray6669 Před 6 lety

      Its not an ivy league but Stanford is pretty close too being ivy league school as well as Vanderbilt and Notre same. Its also very hard to get into those schools. Even as a transfer
