Hey! I am Harish, Sophomore at đ BITS Pilani, Goa đ« pursuing Electrical Engineering đ. I like startupsđ and making YT videos. I'm desperate for Instagram followers and crave for likes. In that regard, please FOLLOW ME! đ». New episodes every week đ .
I applied to a bunch of US universities and got rejected by all of them. I applied from India to Princeton, Harvard, MIT and gave some exams like SAT, SAT Subject Tests and I'll share the scores that I got. The acceptance rate too is pretty low for Indians applying to US universities.

Also plz let me know where do we get to know about the subjects of the essay!!

And one more thing...I heard that the probability to get admission abroad for batchelors is more than in masters, is this true??plz help me with this too!!

Dude, you made 2 BIG mistakes while applying
1) You didn't apply to any safe schools (some schools which have a higher acceptance are so if you get rejected from all your other options you can still study in the US)
2) To apply to good schools you need both excellent marks and also extraordinary ECs, because marks count for only about 40% of the admissions process
50 percent
@@overthinker69069 Bullshit. Marks are like 20% and then ur sat and Ap are like 10%. then 30% for ECs and 40% ur essays

Totally agree with the extra curricular part,most students at their prime teenage time get into the rat race of jee and not work on acquiring skills and finding their passion. I actually have created a document with all the arguments and want to get people aware about it but I don't have that kind of followers so if you wanna put out something like that on your channel please hmu we can maybe help other teenagers
Could you provide the link or something? It sounds helpful.
Bro share with us
Can you share it? It sounds interesting
Can you please help?
Share plz
Why didnt u even provide a link
The reason BITS acceptance rate is less cuz every guy in India writes the exam whereas not everyone applies to the ivies in the US only those that think they might have a chance. Also if u apply to the US don't just apply to the ivies cuz those are dream universities for every International student I suggest also apply for some safety and some target schools.
Poor me! I didn't know anything about Olympiad when I haven't used mobile phone. Now only I know about various things đđ.
pro tip: Even if u don't get into any top clg in India or outside. Don't worry just remember to keep in touch with the guys in top colleges. I can tell you in India every clg is the same just whether it is IIT or Nit or any other clg , it is the quality of students and their peer group which helps then excel in everything.
Very true!

Lot of misinformation about US colleges, information about scholarship is misguiding. Selection into US colleges has nothing to do with the interview. Rules for scholarship and financial aid for international students are different from that for US citizens. Public universities work differently compared to private universities. Scholarship regulations are different in different colleges for STEM and non STEM branches. UC Berkeley is easy eh? SAT scores is not 'the major' selection criteria in US colleges, some Universities, like Chicago don't want SAT SCORES.
This is largely based on ill perceived information about how admissions are processed in US universities. Please be correctly advised on the college rankings, you must apply according to the rankings based on your choice of subject and not overall rankings. Please compare the different rankings e.g. QS, THE, US news, etc. and then come to a decision. UC Berkeley is a very highly ranked college and not easy to get in.
Thanks for this info. But can u elaborate the true things (criteria)about how to get into harvard or Stanford Universities as an Indian student who has just completed there 11th grade studies
@@khushi7801 I'm glad someone pointed this out.
1) MIT, Harvard, Princeton, Amherst and Brown are the only need blind universities. they admit students without taking into account their financial need. and all admitted students get financial aid depending on family income. other unis offer scholarships but those are a very small part of the total fee and very competitive to receive. also your financial needs can significantly reduce the chance of getting in
2) extracurriculars are not something to compensate for average grades. academics, extracurriculars, recommendation letters, interviewer's feedback and personal statement are all separately graded and taken into account.
in terms of academics even 1580 is pretty bad, there are THOUSANDS applying with 1590 and 4.0 gpas. But that doesnt mean you cant get in as long as all the other components are outstanding.
3) doing a ton of random stuff doesnt count. Even if you do one extracurricular and show that you are super involved and passionate you get the same score as doing multiple extracurricular. Quality over quantity
4) if u do stuff just for the sake of resume is pointless. Admissions officers are going to figure tht out.
5) do well with the essays (personal statement)
6)do well in school and have good teacher recommendations
This guy did pretty much everything wrong
Ivy league wants students who have a passion and a vision
Also do stuff where u give back to your community. Not random volunteering but something you care about consistently engage in. Take leadership roles, better yet take take initiative and start your own thing
I was too late when i learned all this, so start early
Everything from grade 9-12 counts
Also do things tht you do just for pleasure, such as hobbies. Example- if you love reading, start a blog post and write in it about things you read... It doesnt have to be top level like extracurricular cuz it's just your hobby
@@livelife2324 hey! i would like to get in touch with you just want to know more about abroad studies as i am an aspirant. it would be a great helpâș
@@samruddhibhor1671 He has absolutely no ideas about USA college. Don't listen to his advice. He did made so many mistakes. 1. Didn't prepared for college from 8 class. 2 . Applying to top-tier college while his grade is for mid-tier college. 3. As international students on fully financial aids , he should apply to lowest tier college. Follow Sigh in USA to get more information
âBerkeley araam se mil jaathathaâ. This sentence just shows the little research youâve done about the whole college application process. Itâs a holistic process, itâs not ALL about test scores. Just having good test scores isnât a guaranteed entry. You probably didnât have good extracurriculars or essays. Passion is super important and going by the way you spoke in this video, I think you were applying just for the heck of it. There wasnât really any passion behind your extracurriculars, your essays were probably not good enough.
There are multiple factors that are considered. If you had applied to the UCs you wouldâve had to write personal insight essays too- which are very important. It isnât easy getting into Berkeley. Even toppers/valedictorians do not get into top colleges sometimes because other parts of their application may be lacking.
Scholarship and financial aid processes are different for US and non US citizens. This is a misleading video with a lot of misinformationđ

What is the meaning of need blind
Man your are the students of which we think " aukat ke bahar"
Exactly đđœ
Right. If a person don't have the hunger for something, it's not for him. The person should have clear cut understanding of what he wants to do
Lmao this guy don't know what he's talking about. Bits receives around 1.4 lakh applications a year, and the universities in the US recieve around 40k on an average. So obviously bits will have a narrower acceptance rate. All American schools have a holistic approach towards the admission process, unlike the colleges here, which make a decision on your acceptance purely based on a test score. The essays that he was talking about help the admission officers get to know you on a personal level, in order to judge whether you'd be a good fit for that particular college and it's community. Also, kinda weird to be texting the Princeton alumnus and bragging about your acceptance to bits, indian colleges don't come nowhere close to the ivies in any aspect imaginable.
yea he doesnt know stuff
I donât really know why you didnât apply to safety colleges other than ivy leagues which are really good too like u worked so hard you should have applied to schools like ucla or somewhere. Berkeley isnât easy itâs very hard tho
Yes plus all the schools he applied to require a score of 1500+ for a decent chance. I don't get it how did he expect the ivies to take him in with a score of 1440. My brother got a 1540 and yet got rejected by all ivies but got into Berkeley

@@nishchayranjan6036 When is last date of application?
This literally happened with me. This exact scenario. When you were dictating it, I felt like you were talking about me. It left me with goosebumps honestly because it is a pretty recent experience for me. And luckily, I myself might be joining either BITS Pilani or Goa as a dualite this year. I can so so so relate to everything that you said in the video - just 2 months being left for Mains and BITSAT and Advanced, otherwise the fear of being screwed. And bruh, it's just we who know how it feels to start over preparing for JEE, once you have left it... to not let the thoughts of regret get to you... to not feel like oh I should have applied to UCs as well. Why did I just go for T10s... to finally let it sink deep in that your dream of going to US is over. But that is what gives the biggest lesson of all. And that is to rise above failures. Hope to meet you sometime in the future! You are doing a great work by sharing your life experiences. Also, even I can totally relate to "wtf was i even thinking applying to harvard?" and "i wud hv made it to the ucs but then u have to spend the cash". We need more of such failure stories celebrated rather than 10000000000 videos on CZcams celebrating the ppl who got into Ivy leagues. We didn't. And we still rose back up. And we are doing good. (man even the interviewer telling me that i hv a grt chance is also sooo truuu.. i got 2 interviews from Princeton and Stanford... both went reallllyy well and then here, take ur rejection letter and one wait list turned rejection lol)

Let me tell you the mistakes he did : He actually did a lot for his application like Participating in the competition which he lead and brought it under top 10, also he did participate in Olympiad for application, but did you notice something ? He did not had deep passion for whatever he has done, all the things he did were for the sake of application and not for personal joy or satisfaction, MIT looks for people who are truly passionate about a thing and wants to make a career out of it, but he failed to full fill this requirement and so he got rejected, on other hand if he really did had passion for particular thing and have even done 1/2 of what he told in the video, then he might have got accepted. Thank You!
True
I agree totally
But aren't those Ecs the thing that shows how passionate you are about something? And weren't those pretty good? I mean yeah it does show he wasn't passionate about the thing but his ecs were prettty good and his scores were too do how else would the unis know someone is passionate about the particular field?
@@rezi9754 you can easily see the randomness in his ecs, giving a pure hint that he is is doing that to just impress the uni, over that even in his essays he would have failed to showcase that if he is passionate or not and essays are not that easy as they seem to be, they should actually match with your personality and ecs and other things, so they even take interviews to find a link in all the things and when they failed to do so, it is clear the student is not actually passionate about the career he would be choosing.
I absolutely agree with this. I do believe you choose two things you are passionate about. One for the major you are applying to and one for what you are truly passionate overall. It doesnât have to be the biggest most top unbelievable thing. It can be something simple. They want to see that you are genuine in your essay and how you will take that and enhance the college (at the end of the day they want students who will make them look good. They already have the legacy, they already have the students from all over the world, they already have rich kids whose parents pay for them to get in etc. They are looking for something they havenât seen tons of year after year)

My story is also like yours. I am in class 12th right now. I was always interested in Robotics and went to tons and tons of competitions in grade 9th, 10th and 11th. (Came second nationally and 6th internationally). As I had good ECs I left my JEE preparation completely. And Now I am only focusing on SAT and SAT subject tests.

Don't apply for ivies if your scores aren't good

I can't tell if you are over optimistic or just incredible. I had a very great 10th std and scored a distinction. But everyone around me told me the acceptance percentage of iits and bits and us universities and created this demon in my heart and I underestimated myself. I unfortunately went to really shitty coaching classes and the pressure because of lack of results enveloped me. I now realise that I have the capacity to go to iitb but because of the incredible stress I couldn't. I cried 2 times in 11th, and when pandemic struck in march 2020, I was happy I had finally gotten a break. I stopped giving a shit about anything but that was just me in denial. I still had that stress in my subconscious. Hut now I wasn't really studing so I got really bad marks in JEE. Then in feb 2021 I actually started studing. After 3 months of the same pressure, I got accepted in VIT. Everyone told me that don't try for the sky achieve but looking at you, I think I should have aimed for the sky. I might not have reached the aky but I would be in a much better place than where I am today. Thnx man, you are like a mentor and a live example to me
I love how he is smiling right now and he is happy. I feel really motivated
You look like Shaurya Shinha... He got into Stanford đ Amazing guy thoughâ€ïž
Dude really tried to sell the 0.1% acceptance rate LMAO
You are great , thanks for your sharing experiences
i'm sure if you made a list of reach schools, targets and safeties you would have surely made it to some of your targets like ucla or perdue or something. Applying just to Ivies is quite risky
I like your attitude towards life, I am damn sure you will be very happy and successful in your life.
You should have applied to a couple of safety schools along with the ivy leagues if you were serious about studying in the States. Berkeley and University of Texas are pretty great schools! Anyway I am glad everything worked out for you eventually
It was such an helping video thank you so much for sharing your experience
You are doing good man, truly amazing experience, I was part of the coaching culture for JEE no how it feels. All the best for your life
I am amazed by your own thoughts, planning and execution of career plan and the way you accepted the outcome and remained happy with the brighter side. Many wishes.
How you scored so well after wasting a lot of time plz share us the process of your jee and bitsat
Just making people idiot
I SWEAR!!!!!! HOWWWWWWW????
He's surely extremely intelligent otherwise no way as we all have 24 hrs.
Bro he made a freaking egg hatching incubator and got into a tech fest in an IIT and he's grades are pretty good, on a side note he was preparing for SAT and other standardized testing exams of US which have a relatively similar syllabus that of India ka JEE thinking about he's always interested in making things, he's course was PCM and also he started doing all of these in ending of 11th grade that means he did study the 11th grade intensively.... âđMAIN IS LADKE K LIYE BAHANE KYU BANA RAHI HU??? And i think uske Baad isne a drop year liya hai.
Mad respect for your perseverance and determination. Nothing can beat that.
Hey Harish... Your video is simply great..
Thankyou for guiding..
I have one teeny-tiny Query, If you can help out.
My Younger Brother is done with '10th Boards' recently in (2021). He is entering in '11th', and crazy about doing 'Bachelors in Computers Science' (CS) from Harvard or Carneige or MIT, after '12th'.
So, for (CS) is it necessary to have Science Subjects (PCM) in 11th and 12th, or can he opt out of a certain subject (Say Chemistry) and still go ahead with (English, Maths, Physics, Computers, etc.) and still be good to be eligible to be accepted there..?
Hey please tell the two ways that you used to get into bits.
Brilliant stuff! Thanks for sharing. From the experiences of my son I can confirm this - preparations should start very early - right from 6th standard May be. Not just about academics but more about how one would want to impact the world. Very little are fortunate to have a clear vision and even little get to follow through and stay committed to the vision. When it comes to SOP - statement of purpose - I believe selection is done on how holistic the applicant is.
So good to hear you and so honestly
If we want to apply to any of these colleges abroad ...... do we need to apply in 11th grade or in 12th grade ?
This video moved me on an intellectual and inspirational level, what a charming lad! You're wonderful for soldiering on and trailblazing đ„
It's really nice how he can talk about rejection so openly.
Now that you're pursuing your BTech in a reputed University are you gonna try for a M.S. in any of these reputed universities?Also just completed my 12th grade and in the beginning of my 11th even I was motivated for some of the state universities but my grades kept falling and I tried for some extracurriculars but never succeeded but got a 1350 in the sat on my own (so I'm kinda happy with that) but I got so disheartened ki application ke liye try hi nhi kiya and JEE January was around the corner which I screwed up,now I'm trying to do well in my 2nd attempt đ
You are so talented and I am totally inspired from uuu to get into bits ......
what about freelancing in two different streams
USA ke liye paise nahi hain middle class students kaise ja sakhte hain USA universities
Bro impossible hai. Maine apply Kara tha accept Bhi hua UBC Vancouver engineering main.. but fees 35 lakh per annum aa rhi thi. :/
Impossible nahi hai go to FACT coaching they will walk you through the process
@@mehvishfatima4487 Duniya me 193 countries hai. Aur sab me better employment hai India se kiyunki Yaha Population bahut jyada hai. Koi Unknown country choose karo. There are Scholarships and Education loan also.
Also you can do part time job while studying in abroad.
Ivan :(
Ivan did you join?
Thanks bro...
Good video.
Your application was solid...
You took great risk.So brave of you...
Im in 9th standard right now and im really clueless right now abt SATs. Are these SATs to be given in India or in the USA. And are these SATs online or the traditional way?
I have one ques: you have applied to US universities in beginning of your 12th or after 12th?
Beginning
You apply during the middle of year.
Imma apply in December first week
Now I am filling up the application s
Doesn't matter. You can do it after 12th and get a deferred entry and take a year off to improve your resume.
Hey bro Iâm a nri living in Kuwait I was preparing to write bitsat but due to the present situation and travel bans writing bitsat even in August looks really dull are there still any options to get into bits ?
^if i have not written SAT
Bro need help ..
I saw your blogging videos..
Plz suggest me which low cost laptop is good for blogging..cus we are very poor ..
Need good blogging but at low cost laptop .which one do you suggest bro ..plz reply and help me broo..
I'll be applying for fall 2022 this year, don't know whether you made me tensed or more inspiredđđ.....thanks for sharing your experience although.... It was helpful.
Can we get into bits if we top in our state boards? I saw it in some random article..
Yes that's true maybe. My state board's topper got admission đ
It's not just about score.Essay matters. US unis give priority to background. Not everyone get the same opportunities.They look for people who did their best with whatever they had. Also a good story is way more important. There are people who got into Harvard with 1400 sat score and a girl featured in MIT website got into MIT with 1460 sat score.
Thanks for making this video...u have amazing personality
Amazing dude.â€ïž
Very inspiring.đ„
Really man you got to top 10 with your water level indicator, solar lamp etc in maker space!!!
Pls elaborate on my suspicion.
Smile on my face throughout the videođ thanks Harish bhaiya đđ

@@sahil-wk9fx yeah bro. đ
@@user-zn3iy8vw9k
I am in 12th class now and will be giving my exams in 2022.
So how should i prepare for IELTS?
If I have a chance to get into BITS through ISA, do you think I should go for it?Is it worth the fees I'd have to pay?
Sure
That is one honest experience... very good! ..vedio was quite informative
hey! mine is a little more screwed up case. i gave my jee mains in jan and got the worst score. currently my aim is bitsat. i really really really wanna get into one of the campus. could you tell me how can i proceed with the 2 months time that i have left?
OH my god !!!!
I am entering in 12th and preparing for JEE advanced My case is completely same as yours..!!!
I got known about SAT and US universities from CZcams.
And my thoughts are just like you, I am in the same condition in which you have gone.
I am also trying to crack Olympiads for application, doing courses,etc.
You are a eye opener for me !!!
Please guide me further.....
@gursimar singh what are you going to do further?
@@thedarkhorse768 There are 193 countries in the World and Every country has better employment than India. So, consider Europe and any Unknown countries. It will be easy for admission
Really great to hear the life experience ..make more such videos giving your 2 cent you are doing great đ
Good approach harish and I understand your approach and my approach
Man love your stories bro please make keep up this
Man I feel you, I also didn't prep for JEE. Decided to apply to US universities. Didn't get into one of the top schools, but still satisfied where I am.
Where?
Where please tell I am looking for
what was your jee adv score? 19-20k is also good though not good enough for iit
Spoke too soon, 16k-17k grants you a tier 4 IIT in 2020
Bro you have great communication skills... I admire that
Good job, keep going. Harish is smart with smart talks.
The mistake you have done is you directly applied for top universities in the world but you have not tried for best universities
Humans like him are the cause of depression ! đ jk heâs really brilliant man !
đright
hey man, lovely video also can you talk more about your incubator ?
Your situation pretty much same as mine but you have a great academic records . But myself I have no such type records as well as no extra curricular activities but aim is to be same be Engineer . I like your confidence and what you learn From failure in a single video without any cut one shot video â€ïž
