Hey Aparna! I recently got accepted into Stanford's class of 2022, and I just wanted to say that your videos/essays helped me a ton during the application process. Thanks so much for sharing! It really meant a lot for me :)
Do you have to get really high grades
Congrats Arpi! You should try to come out to campus during Admit weekend, it's gonna be A M A Z I N! xx
Arpi Park your videos also helped people get into Stanford
hey arpi .... im ur fannnn !!!!!!!!!
Yoooo its Arpi
My favorite part
- If Stanford ever says "no" to you, just say:
"Honey, that is your loss" and show them why :)
No matter what college you end up in, you can still succeed. It's just up to you :)
Elizabeth Son she spelled succeed because it's another word there's nothing about secrets in the comment.
What financial aids did Stanford give you? and can you list your stats ?
Hi aparna di i am one of your relative living in india my name is vinayak i like your channel very much you gave me faith of creating my own channel and thanks for it 😀😀😀
I just totally agree with you. Thanks for the video.
Firstly can I say, THANK YOU! I cannot express how much this video has helped and inspired me. I've just recently turned 16 and have been in contact with ncsa recruiting staff since late last year because it has been my dream to go to Stanford for track. I'm Australian and understand the importance for international students to get as much promotion as possible when it comes to wanting an athletic scholarship and I feel confident I will learn throughout the process with the support of the ncsa staff but I've been lacking confidence with my skills and ability to actually get into Stanford. I know a lot of students obviously go through that feeling of thinking it's impossible but being international student, I'm struggling to find someone to relate to. The feeling of doubt is quite overwhelming sometimes and all I want is someone who has been in the same situation so I can harass them with all my questions. Even though you weren't applying from different country, this video really helped in so many ways. It's really just inspired me to put everything I've got into it, or as my coach says, "leave everything out on the track" and to really push myself if I want to make my dreams a reality. If i could ask just one thing; do you have anymore advise for my situation or know someone who has been through a similar process? You've definitely already helped me immensely but that would just really make my day. Sending my thanks from the land down under! :)) x
This is different from the many other guide videos I've watched on college admissions. So heartfelt and honest. I'll be sure to remember your advice :)
Loved this video! So much help!! I'm applying next year and I thought it would be cool to throw you the idea that You should do a video where you talk all about your first semester at Stanford and explain what the classes are like, what clubs/activities are offered that you joined, etc. it would be very much appreciated and I bet you'd get a lot of positive feedback :)
That sounds like an awesome idea, thank you :D!
Aparna, this is amazing that you've got there! I don't know what to say - just huge congratulations. Love you :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH BABE! I love you too
Thank you so much, I'm a sophomore but I'm stressing out about college apps from now!
Im a freshman..... Im still stressing about it
simplytanya Glad to know I'm not the only one.
lol im a feshman KMS
Future Angelica many others alike
what is college app?
Hi Spirited Gal! Your story and experiences are very appreciated by many, and I've been wondering what a huge accomplishment this is for you, it even rushes my heart to think about getting in myself in the future! I'm 14 years old and it has been my biggest life goal to get into an Ivy League University. After hearing your reasons on how to get in, it gave myself questions and worries sort of because you have done so many incredible things in your life so far and I don't know how to start myself right now. I'd appreciate some helpful ideas to make the wheels turnin' so early! I'm getting all A's in my classes, but I feel like theres more. There's more personal and psycological factors that I need to figure out in order to soon be able to one day fill out my own Essay (: Thank you so much!
I'm glad I could inspire you :)! The biggest advice I can give is to do something great in the field that you love. If you like writing, write for your school newspaper or creative writing journal and try to get published. If you're into math and science, try looking for internships at research labs around you. :)
superb start to the video and info about how you got in stanford
I’m watching this video to get tips for my daughter, Stanford is her absolute dream college.
Congratulations on all your success.
Girl thanks for this video out school has been starting to talk about colleges and k got really nervous but this Helped keep up the good work

Thanks dude! xx
That common app essay you wrote is so amazing! No wonder you got in and I'm sure you will be an amazing writer in the future! I've been in theatre before and done extracurriculars, but I would never have thought of writing in that way ^^
sunispretty aaah Sun, thanks so much 😭😭 the drone isn't mine; it's a friend's and he thankfully allowed me to use his shots!

This is an amazing video and so super helpful and reassuring. One question I have is, do you have a standard resume format resource?
wow! looovveee your essays!!!
Thank you! It means a lot since I spent forever writing them 😂💖
Congrats!!
The intro was soooo Casey Neistat-ish
is that a bad thing?
ikr!!
Bless you :)!! In the application process right now
Good luck :)!
I have few certificates for public speaking , will that help ?
And I’ve attended a summer school in a liberal arts institution ( in India) can I add that , or will it be irrelevant ?
Hello there! Thank you so much for this video. I was wondering what you meant by keep in touch with "your admissions officer"? Do you mean that each applicant will get a contact to a specific admissions officer, or do you mean just the general admissions email? Thank you!
Every applicant has an admission officer who covers a certain region. For example, admission officer Brenda covers the Baltimore region from last names N-Z. Find out who your admission officer is and contact them :)
I'm also doing a live presentation on College Week Live where I'll talk about my application process if you're interested in watching :) Here's the link to sign up! bit.ly/2eYeKwr
Thanks for replying; how do you find this out? Do you message the office directly?
Victoria Lim You can find the info online on Stanford's website; just search up admission officers :)
Thank you so much, this was so helpful.
Glad I could help :)
This was so helpful, thank you!! I was wondering if you could give me some advice on how to reach out to my admissions counselor? I'd like to send him/her some information and get familiar but I don't know how to start the conversation. How did you do it? And what kind of things would you recommend talking to my admissions counselor about?
How do we find our admission officer for Stanford?
I just passed my higher secondary level. Is it possible for me to get into any top university with full fund as an international student?
which prompt did u write pls tell
what is the best prompt
Okay dang, that intro was LIT
Hehe, thank you
Can i ask you is it necessary to have extracurriculars for three years or more? I really want to get into a good college i m an international student but the fact that i don’t do activities is discouraging me
Hey Aparna! I'm in middle school, so what do I need to do right now to ensure I get into Stanford? I most likely want to become a lawyer or doctor when I grow up, and my parents also want me to get into stanford, so can you give me tips and advice as a middle school student? Thanks a lot, and keep up with your videos!
Hello! As colleges are test optional this year should I send my 1350 SAT score to the top ones and explain y I couldn't do better if I have genuine personal and circumstantial reasons? Or is it better to not send them? (I'm an international student)?
hey there aparna I wanted to if I can get into stanford with average grades and a good score in gre
Thank you so much for this video.
I have a couple of questions and it would mean the world if you can answer them.
1) were the 2 books you wrote published? If so was it under an official publisher or self published?
2) is it possible if you can maybe list the general gist of your x-tra curricular activities you have done in high school?
3) around how many big awards have you received for your journalism/writing?
Again, thank you so much for this video
And it's totally fine if you can't answer all of them still loved the vid :))
Can anyone help me know who are Admission Officers and Counselor..
Because I don't have both and I don't have much resources to know all the information
Congrats, this video was really helpful to me.

I never got my books published, however, I've gotten articles published in newspapers :)
hey I am planning to submit my application this year and my first preference is standford , i am quite nervous and feeling anti to get admission her , can you give me some suggestions ?
I didn't take the most rigorous courses in High School. I have like a 3.8 GPA over-all and my junior year I took AP Computer Science A and Honors Physics and am currently taking AP Computer Science Principles. Will the lack of rigorous courses affect my application? If so, how much and what do I do to fix it?

Hey Aparna I am from India and I want more help regarding to admission in Stamford University. Can you help me

Could I ask how you were able to build a relationship with the admissions officer? tysm
Hey aparna! I'm currently studying in grade 11 , I don't know when's the right time to apply to stanford.....please help me.
Same🥲
Hi, I need your help to go into Stanford
In this university have science courses? Pls reply
I am an international student(from INDIA). i am seeking for admission in Stanford for my MS and I wanna know that is there any advice for me to add up in my portfolio.
Could someone help me? How do I get in contact with my admissions officer? I've submitted my application and I want to send in my public Instagram account as a portfolio.
What were your extra curriculars ?
Hey , your video is quite motivational
I just wanna ask can a 22 years old girl get admission in Stanford mba program?
What makes Stanford unique? or, what would you say attracts students?
hi, how to get straight a's in high school
Hi! Which major are you pursuing? Also, what do you have to say about the stem vs. Other majors divide at Stanford? Most importantly, I'm also a writer, but find it hard to come by opportunities to materialise it. Could you please help me out with that? Tips, names of competitions to enter etc.
I'm thinking of majoring in English, and there is no divide between stem and other majors. All majors are important, and many people cross over. For example, English majors take coding classes and Computer Science majors take poetry classes :)
+Spirited Gal I would want to join stanfords to do my bachelors.. so i will be sitting for SAT .. so now.. the thing is im from INDIA.. and will TOEFL be a better option or IELTS....though im in 10th standard right now!!...//reply soon!!
Honestly I'm not sure. I don't know much about the process of applying for international students :(
Anyways thnx..
So now which University did you get yourself into? .... I am curious...
Hey Aparna!! Can u please breakdown your 1st quick tip for me? Thx
hii! thank u for this video. quick question-- how exactly does one get in contact with their admissions officer? (how do u even know who they are?)
Google "stanford admission officers" and click on the first link. You'll find the officers listed by your region :)
Spirited Gal [screams] ahh thank u so much! im so scared for next yr
andy v you'll be fine
Hello Aparna di.
I don't have any councellors so who can recommend me ??
If anyone other know then please let me know it too!
So your essay should be about one of your life experiences which dazzle's them and not about your extra curricular activities,awards, CZcams channel etc. ? Please answer.... And can we give the same essay of our's to different colleges like to MIT, Stanford etc.? From India (ISHAAN)
And ya can it be about hardships which I faced while preparing for it?
Same doubt.
Hey,gal tat was just awesome information. I wanna apply for stanford, just wanted to ask is thr any entrance exam conducted n wats the fee structure(is thr any financial support we could get?) etc.. thn plzzz let me knw.
Can you make a video about the two books you wrote and the Newyork Times editorial contest you won, please?
Yeah, I can do a video on that :D!
Also, how do you pay for Stanford? It's pretty expensive to go there even with scholarships. All my friends who go there are grad students, not undergrads.
Where can I locate your essays?? I love reading others' essays!! :)
And I would love to read yours!! 🙂
the link is in the description :)!
Spirited Gal I only read a couple so far and I love them so much!! 💗
BreDiy thank you :D
Hey! After watching this video, I frantically wrote up my editorial and just submitted it. Do you know how everything ranks (top 10, runner-up, honorable mention...)?
There's a rubric as to how they assess the editorials, but I'm not sure why they rank them the way they do
Thanks, Aparna. Also, in submitting for the Best of SNO, were you supposed to have been an author in one of the SNO websites? My school is not a member of the SNO Network but I want to publish regardless.
Sis can you plz tell me what percentage of marks is safe for Stanford or other universities like this? I know there's no minimum or maximum gpa. But what do you think? What percentage should a student have for Stanford?
What about the international student??
do u think being in girls scouts would help?
Heyyy... you did masters in which degree
Hey Aparna, I really liked your video and thought you were very concise in your thoughts. I am however wondering what you mean by "contacting your admission officer". Will every applicant be assigned to a Stanford admission officer? Please tell me how this works...
Yes, every Stanford student has an admission officer. I've answered this a lot in the comments, but I'll say it again, you can search up the admission officers online. They're divided based on last names and regions, so find the admission officer assigned to your region and last names that start with A.
is there any way to contact you
THAT DRONE FOOTAGE THO
Shoutout to my boi Drake
hi, what were your extracurricular activities in high school?
Hi Spirited Gal. My name is Victor, and I am a transfer student. I think my dream school is Stanford. Of all the times in high school and community college, they never really inspired me to write and publish books, and I never really have opportunity and need to write and publish books as well. What inspired you to write and publish books? My second question is how did you know there's an opportunity for the journalist competition? Do you have time to study and also write and win it?
where you there for under graduation??
Hey, I read your essay! I must say, they were very well written!
Do you have any idea how an essay for engineering application should look like?
Since yours was for Journalism, a well-written storytelling kind of essay shall be expected from the candidates, but will the same work in engineering?
Thanks in advance!
Well, I'm not too sure, but regardless, you should try to make your essays the best that they can be. If you're a decent writer, you're a decent thinker :)
Thank you! :)
Can you please also share what you wrote for short questions like "Five words that best describe you"?
Thank you so much. :)
Oooh, yes, I'll do that once finals are over xD
How much scholarship you got?
Love the video! How old are you?
I'm 18 :)
Thank you so much for making this video! I understand you're probably packed with schoolwork and such but if possible would you be willing to read/edit essays? Also do you think applying early action is worth it if you have low test scores/GPA? Honestly I feel super underqualified to apply to Stanford but I can't help but give up on my dream school :)
You have nothing to lose if you apply, so I definitely encourage you to go ahead and apply :)! I applied early action, and according to the stats, students who apply early have a higher chance of getting in. Unfortunately, I don't read/edit essays unless it's a commission or a paid job, haha. If you need help with writing, reach out to peers, teachers, and local writing centers.
Yo, your background is trippy
Hey, so glad u did this video....Is it possible to get Standford scholarship for Indian students?? And can we go to Standford after 12??
Fees.? For mbbs
thanks fam!
Aah you're welcome and good luck! xx
Where are from??
What is the deadline for the counselors to submit your reccomedation for common app? I googled this and could not find a definite answer? Is it the deadline or can they submit it after January 1st? I'm really worried because the counselors aren't going to be in office until January 3rd? (My counselor has written my letter, she just needs to submit it!)
I'm not sure... Perhaps you should email your counselor and kind of emphasize that she needs to send in her letter.
thanks!
Hello, how do you send Stanford any future awards. I recently received an award so I would like to notify Stanford. I emailed them because they do not have a portal I believe to upload additional materials. How did you send your New York Times award to Stanford?
Like I said in the video, I emailed my certificate and link to the NYT article to my admission officer.
Yes, I do remember you stating this. Thanks :) How do you know who your admissions counselor is because I just used the generic Stanford undergraduate email?
Just search up Stanford admission counselors. They're divided by last names, so find the admission counselor of your region who reads portfolios from students who last names' start with an S.
This information helps and is much appreciated thank you!
I really love your videos . remember me when you get famous. :) 😂
haha, I will, thanks!
Spirited Gal and congrats ! 🙂
Hey, Do u both know each other?
Did you link your essays?
Yup! Link in description :D
what if i dont have enough money but i still want to study there, at Stanford? is there any scholarship for international students? I'm 18 and i live in Viet Nam. :)
Stanford has a huge endowment and they're really good when it comes to giving financial aid. You should look at Stanford's financial aid website for more information :)
I got it. Thank you!
