hi people!! sorry this isnât art content - i decided to make this because i wanted to share other aspects of my life with you all, and also because i have ~things~ to say about the college system đ„Ž i applied to 11 schools: umass amherst, vanderbilt, risd, northwestern, duke, brown, columbia, harvard, princeton, yale, + stanford. (i did submit test scores - SAT + 3 subject tests - for those wondering.) the admissions process is often so arbitrary (and sometimes rigged), and this year was especially wack because of the panny. please know that the colleges you do / donât get accepted to are not, by any means, a reflection of your worth.
regarding my ârantâ at the end: in no way am i an expert, and i definitely didnât fully capture the nuances of the issue. i just wanted to share my thoughts - but feel free to shit on me in the comments if you disagree with them :)
thank you for watching! â€ïž

JACKIE WHAT THE ACTUAL HECK HOW ARE U JUST SO CALM YOU'RE INCREDIBLE WAHT

@@jackieliuart I LOVE U JACKIE LIU

PLS âthe stock market is just astrology for old white men in suitsâđđđ
@Katie Ellen Tu HAH
@Katie Ellen Tu i would but im dumbđ
@Katie Ellen Tu i donât trust bitcoin either idk anything abt it but i just donât like it
@Katie Ellen Tu itâs a youtube comment. itâs not serious. iâm not abt to proofread a comment on the internet, thanks tho-iâll save that for my essays.
@Katie Ellen Tu i donât write my comments the way i write my essays. thanks for the concern though!
I like how she got into Harvard skips over it so happy for uâ€ïžâ€ïž
HAHAHA thank you so much!!!
Wow, that final rant really changed my perspective. Iâm blown away that youâre my age and yet you have such a clear understanding of this whole system which can suck you in so easily. Your bit about how you shouldnât dedicate your free time in high school to improving your resume seems so obvious, so Iâm not sure why it took watching this video for me to get it.
ahhh that really means so much to me, thank you đ„șâ€ïž
*Gets into Harvard
âThat is so funny!â đđ
Congrats though youâre definitely a genius đ„ł
That rant was actually so necessary. Iâm so glad someone FINALLY went further in depth than just saying âcollege doesnât define youâ I hope future generations hear that message and take it to heart. Congrats on all the acceptances!!
So impressed with your self-reflection! I'm a Harvard and MIT grad, was an Aerospace Engineer for 3 years, and then dropped everything and moved to the jungle, where I learn and preserve natural building techniques that are disappearing. I currently live in a home made of clay, sand, and straw, which is highly beneficial for health although not as profittable for the construction industry since I built it myself from materials on my land. I'm grateful that I was able to step away from the illusion of prestige at a young age and stop the "chase" to nowhere. Retirement is an illusion. Many people will never get there. We have to live life now and define what "successful" means to each of us. I have more than I need living simply and have no regrets!
đ
I can't even say if you are for real or it's a subtle trolling
Are u joking?
@@topkek9935 it seems like a troll, but from how well-spoken this person is combined with their subscribed (a lot of nature-focused channels), i donât think it is. if it isnât, thatâs honestly so inspiring
Oh my god... thatâs amazing.
Thatâs so admirable
OK BUT STANDFORD AND HAVARD I CANT- PLS YOUR TOO GOOD
I'm european but i love watching these videos because i just can't grasp how college admissions are so important to americans. i'm going to the top university in belgium (which is also a global top 50 uni) without having to do a thing and without going into crippling dept as well . we literally only have entrance exams for art schools and medical and engineering majors. the us really has to fix their system
Omg if you know how it is in latam **cries in poverty**
wait what ? I really don't get it ? So they don't like....check your grades...or extracurriculars? But then , if everyone can get into top universities , how do universities accommodate all those students?
@@arayasimms1607 European here. The fact is that, even if some faculties don't have an entrance exam, the courses during your first year are usually tough enough to do the "cut", allowing only the students that have the right preparation and motivation to continue their path, the others usually leave or change the field of study. I watch a lot of videos about US universities but I'm always amazed on how easy everything looks over there..maybe is just an impression đ€·ââïž
Please write that rant out into an essay!! I need to share it w everyone I know loll. But seriously, I agree with what you say. The 3% acceptance rates are absolutely insane, for every successful acceptance video there are 33 other unsuccessful ones.
THE FACT THAT YOU JUST STARTED LAUGHING AND SAID "THATS FUNNY" WHEN YOU GOT INTO HARVARD OMFG
SDFHGEJAYGDWBYu
I wouldnât need to see anything on your applications to know you deserve a spot in every college/university you applied to. That ârantâ is the most intelligent, real, human speech Iâve heard in a long time.
you probably should interact more with people then đ
@@topkek9935 eye roll đ
@@TheJoieB Really though.
How is she so calm when she got into Harvard and Stanford LOL
Your essays mustâve been bomb. I can just tell by how you spoke at the end. You go bestie!! I honestly see why these colleges accepted you the sit-down at the end of the video... I was enlightened. What you said about the institutionalized racism, privilege, and prestige prevalent in college admissions and higher education was very eye-opening. High-quality stuff man. Iâm a sophomore just trying to get into a good college and get a quality education. đ
Congratulations on your admissions! While I agree with your rant, you absolutely earned your spot at any one of these institutions. Youâre one of the most talented and intelligent young people on the planet. Youâre going to excel and thrive in any field you choose (but never stop painting though please đ„ș).
LOL WHAT WHY DID YOU GET INTO HARVARD AND U WERE LIKE đđ
Congrats on your acceptances!! Your rant at the end rlly inspired me as Iâm nervous for applying to college in the fall! I hope you succeed in the future at whatever school you choose!!
I just got into Columbia for grad school. Went to UCI for undergrad. I feel so differently going back to school again at 37 because this time itâs what I want to do not because my Azn parents had me oblige them. Your whole spiel at the end was an exercise in wordsmithing. And I totally agree with you on the enumerated points about elite colleges. I also resonate with your musings on happiness and life trajectories. I will have to watch again. Thanks for keeping it real and honest. This is the first reaction video of the many college decisions reactions Iâve watched that has really critiqued establishment precedents.
SO PROUD OF YOU!!! YOU DESERVE ALL YOUR SUCCESS AND MORE! also your analysis at the end is so well articulated!
you are such an icon for saying that to the duke interviewer HAHAHA congrats on all your acceptances!!!!
This is one of my favorite videos on youtube. I loved the truth bomb at the end. People should stop obsessing over which college they & others are going to. It's all part of a system that is meant to fool us to value things that aren't worth our valuing. We don't need to feed the system. Go outside, play, do your own thing, be a human & live for yourself.
This is by far the best college reaction video I have seen and I am in loveeee with the rant. You covered all your basis. You will do so well wherever you go. Brava!!
Having that insight and outlook you shared at the end is SO impressive for someone your age, or really anyone! You said it so perfectly and are 100000% right. You will do great things.
Hands down the best college reaction video Iâve seen. Even though you acknowledged that the college reaction genre and your experience fed into the system of privilege, I personally love how you juxtaposed your analysis with your reactions. Super excited to see where you go from here
oh my god u are so cool this is by far my favorite college reaction video thank u for including the end and congrats!!
really thank you for the last part of this video, it's very important to hear and consider, but very few people say that
I actually wrote down some of your words, and now they will hang on wall in front of my desk
This is the kind of girl that always complains that she's going to fail the next test, and pretends that she is so scared, but then proceeds to get the highest grade in the class.....by far
I got the same vibe!
@My autism is exacerbated saying this, but to be fair though, (statistically speaking) it is very unlikely for most people to be accepted into an ivy league college
asians have the lowest chance to get accepted to IVY league colleges
also,some people are really hard on themselves,so even if they're doing exceptionally good in the eyes of others,they will never get the actual feeling of being happy UNLESS they achieved the standard set for themselves
I was one of those kind of people. so please,don't be rude to someone who you don't know. From her portfolio,I can say that she wasn't as kind to herself as she is to others.
@@pallavi6013 i just don't care. You're privileged as fuck if you're overachieving but are just too hard on yourself. Some people literally can't achieve what those people can, but as per usual the lucky place the spotlight on themselves.
i donât understand how youâre so calm!! a few days ago i got accepted into a private high school with a 25% acceptance rate after initially getting waitlisted and i was screaming with my momđđcongratulations on getting into your schools!!
YOURE SO INCREDIBLY FUNNY OMG đ had me dying for like 5 min after what u said to the Duke interviewer đ CONGRATS ON EVERYTHING
I was not expecting that ending and it just made my whole week. GO. OFF. đđđđđ
Thank you so much for sharing your view on the college education system. It was very insightful and helpful! I'm so impressed that you're able to let go of obsessions with status and prestige. Regardless, congrats on your acceptances! I'm sure that you will go far in life in your own unique way! I'm rooting for you!
THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST COLLEGE VIDEO IVE SEEN. I really enjoyed how you explained everything in the second part. KEEP GOING MISS GIRL YAA
omg i knew i recognized you from somewhere, i love your art on tiktok!! congrats on the acceptances, you totally deserve them. this is by far the best college decisions video iâve seen, i never really thought about what you mentioned at the end and you changed my perspective so much
OMG I HAVE BEEN SO CURIOUS TO SEE WHERE YOU WOULD GO YOUR ART IS SOOOOO AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL AND WHICHEVER COLLEGE YOU GO TO IS BLESSED âșïžâșïžâșïž
OHHMYGOD i remember why u seem so familiar i was literally in awe by ur tiktok voiceovers (& the amazing art ofc) and i am not surprised at all by ur acceptances. also as a fellow hs senior, i agree that the education system is stinky!!!!!!
I know the chances of me making into any of these schools is SOOOO slim but this video and your whole channel gives me so much motivation and hope lol. Also that rant at the end?? Realest shit Iâve heard in a while. Itâs rare to find people that go beyond the âcollege doesnât define you đ„șâ speech.
Jackie you are HILARIOUS I was cackling throughout the whole first half (congrats once again!!) And your rant - PREACHHHHH! Your message is so important and one everyone needs to hear đ
@11:33. Genius. Actually this whole video is genius. Iâm saving it for my 10 and 12 yr old boys to watch once they have the vocabulary for your vids lol. Keep on doing life on your terms, lady, and sharing it with the rest of us! Youâre a rarity!
Thank you for your insights at the end of the video. Honestly, it makes me feel better with how my mindset had me revolted whenever I do not reflect the aspirations for prestige. Additionally, your well evoked opinions are the kind of things that matter when we decide a path to take and not the Ivy League persona. It allows people like me, who focused on getting by be okay with focusing on what matters instead of building an acceptable resume, focus on real goals. Whoever accepts me is who I'll be glad for. :)
P.S. With what greatness I see in your videos, I am not surprised with the acceptions. You are awesome!!
Am I the only one who slammed my hands to my face when she got into Harvard? I was singing and I was so shocked lmao
Stanford too! Congratulations!! Your smile is so contagious
@@feyday7710 i think i was more excited than she was lollllll
Iâve been following you for so so long and Iâm so proud AHHH but I started crying during the rant because IT IS SO TRUE.
Congratulations on all of your acceptances! I especiallu loved your reflection at the end :)
I am OBSESSED with the speech at the end, congratulations on everything :)
"i dont deserve to get into risd" uM says the girl w over 1m followers on an art tiktok
congrats queen
LOL RIGHT I WAS LIKE DUH SHE GON GET IN
JACKIE U ICONIC QUEEN!!! so proud of you and can't wait to see you soon!!! â€ïžđ€©â€ïž
wow. i absolutely loved your rant at the end. most college decision videos have a âtalkâ at the beginning where the person says that the college you go to doesnât define you, and then proceeds to get into all of the ivies. i still 100% agree with this sentiment, but itâs somewhat frustrating because itâs so easy to say that when you got into prestigious schools that would âdefineâ you as a respectable person on society. your talk was so real and described perfectly how i feel about the education system and America in general. i love that you recognized your privilege. i hope you do well wherever you go - stanford is my dream school!! xo, a rising senior scared to death about college apps :â)
lol it was plagirized. knew this sounded like an article I read. word for word plagirized.
PLEASE I donât even know you but I LOVE YOU AND UR TALK AT THE END WAS SO GOOD
Best rant Iâve ever heard.
You really are a special person.
Congrats and good luck for all your future endeavors~
Iâm obsessed with you. Right on! Excellent points that need to be said and heard again and again.
First of all, congrats! I followed your art on IG and Tiktok so that's why you seemed familiar! Before I came across this video, I could already tell how intelligent and accomplished you were. Anyways I never comment on CZcams videos but this was an exception because of the second part. I thought your rant in the end really resonated with me: I took an English class this year (I'm a college freshman) which explored the concept of higher education in the U.S. Throughout this semester I found myself exploring those same questions you did about the faults in the American higher education system so this video really hit different. I love the combination of humor and introspectiveness you pour into your content so keep it up!
wow this video is really what i needed. thank u sm for this it so well spoken and organized. i will keep this is mind while applying (: also i love ur energy !
this is the best video i have watched in a very long time, youâre incredible
Wow holy shit! The second half of your video was iconic! Magnificent!
Thank you so much for telling us about the many flaws in our education system! You most def the realest person on here. You are extremely wise and really know everything wrong with these prestigious schools. I am a low income poc who has experienced all the bs that comes with attending these money laundering schools. I am so happy you explained the many issues in the system bc not enough ppl talk about it. I am so proud of you too and congrats on all your acceptances!
The second half of your video is brilliant! I'm sure what you said had a profound effect on someone out there. Congratulations!
This is the best college admission reaction video there, clearly aware of the surroundings, only people like u is our future, not all those who only indulge themselves with their achievement admitted to somewhere.
okay that rant at the end earned you a sub. You're great! Stay great!!
iâm sorry but i love your smile so much, it just seems so genuine
Jackie the message was just amazing, thanks for using your channel to talk about this issueđ
I highly agree with the 2nd part of this video.It's really refreshing to see this type of analysis.
Wow I just stumbled on this video after binging college decision reactions. I looked into your art and It's REALLY good. How long does it take you to make a piece usually?
Youâre so funny đđđ itâs not surprising that all of these great schools accepted you and I absolutely loved that message at the end!
Congrats!! I am so happy for you!
youâre the cutest! congrats! (what you said to the duke guy is so funny and true LMAOO)
also youâre so well spoken and i appreciated the ending ârantâ
How are you so calm with this đ
BUT CONGRATSSSS!!!
Loved you reactions but that speech at the end, PREACH. Congrats on all your acceptances!
I loved your viewpoints at the end!!!! â€ïž Definitely an eye opener for me and many people in the comments alike
Could you pls tell us ur stats/ECs/ major?? AND CONGRATSSSS!! So happy for u
you're the type of person id sit and talk to for hours because you're so smart and wise and funny and sarcastic!!
CONGRATS GIRL, HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR COOL DURING THESE AMAZING ACCEPTANCES
Sis I love your energy... I had to subscribe lmao. Anyways, congrats on all your acceptances!! Toodaloo
your speech at the end really came after me but congratulations!!
You are so inspiring i literally love you!!!
your smile is contagious mlord
This is like the best reaction video I've seen hahaha. Congratulations on getting into all those amazing schools! I know you said you kinda rushed your RISD art portfolio but it would still be great to share your accepted Portfolio !! and the Standford one too plzzzđđ€©
girll i love you so much. your whole opinion about college is soo-đ„ș
OH MY GOODNES GIRL UR SO FUNNY HAHA. like YASSS with the acceptances and the lil rant. i literally love u bruh
I love how all the colleges she applied to with little confidence she got into
âFor the sake of my mental health Iâm just going to let myself be deceivedâ I lost it -
THIS IS AMAZING - I LOVE YOU
Ok so firstly, congrats!! Secondly, I love love love your personality! You seem like someone who I would definitely want to be best friends with! & lastly, you explained the education system so so well! You just earned a subscriber xx :))
truly wish I'd been fortunate enough to watch this video when I was making similar decisions as you and wading headfirst into the whole "elite college" system... unfortunately I'm a year older than you đ but still, this was wonderful, and educational, and sums up the way I've come to feel after two years of college better than I ever could've myself. here's hoping the high schoolers who need to hear this get a chance to. peace and love and best of luck as you move forward--thanks for making these videos
You need to make more content, youâre so smart and entertaining!!! I love what you said about elite universities, these name brand schools are just another accessory for wealthy individuals to obtain. Like a Louis Vuitton wallet. Regardless congrats on the acceptances, you deserve them! đđ„łđ„ł
I needed to hear that rant. Thank you so much that was incredible.
I LERV U
Congratulations đ U achieved all this and deserved it to go to these University's. I personally think u should think about your self higher 'cause even if u don't see it u r talented
HOLY SHIT CONGRATULATIONS JACKIE!!!!
thank you Jackie you just ease my college anxiety through a video (for 13 minutes) anyway
Hey Jackie. Congratulations for making it to Harvard and Stanford!!!! I was just wondering you could make a stats video and ec? Ty and Iâm so happy for you
Youâre my idol. Incredibly well spoken and intelligent. Congrats on Stanford!
I LOVE YOU I LOVE THE RANT AT THE END
Congratulations Jackie!! Could you make a video about your stats and extracurriculars?
YOU ARE SO FUNNY ,, CONGRATS ON ALL YOUR ACCEPTANCES!! also, out of curiosity, what major did u apply for ?
just finished watching the video and you're so so right about the higher education system being completely broken.. it's not discussed nearly enough & you put it perfectly. thank you so much for this!
OML GO OFF QUEEN đâ€ïžđ©đđ»
Jesus, mate, you're brilliant! Seriously, this is the kind of analysis I dream that my PhD students will arrive at. Also, perfect advice at the end.
Wow, love you! I love this video and your reflections
beautiful speech at the end!
ALSO THE RANT AT THE END đ©BEAUTIFUL
Congrats! The video is great! Thank you for the effort!
