hello@jubileemedia.com - ZĂĄbava
I feel like Emily is the type of person that always says how badly she performed in a test, but ends up acing them everytime.
yea its a cringe version of humble if there is a word for that
@@CMANIZABALLER omg guys I did so bad I
on my test I got a 99.99 percent guys I failed omg i wonât get into my dream college đđ canât stand students like that
@@rotisserie8444 ongggg you said it perfectly. Cringe version of humble
I hate people like this
@@CMANIZABALLER I don't think it's about being humble, just self-doubt. She's probably just really harsh on herself.
Opal is the kind of guy that says you could've done better when you tell him you scored a 95% on a test
Lmfao đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
He's not wrong though
hArd WoRk Is HarD WoRk
Idk he was kind of annoying to me
He was giving annoying white male energy. Did you see his face when others were being nice and fun?đ„Ž
Opal is undoubtedly very intelligent, but clearly his interpersonal skills are lacking based on the conversation he had with everyone. Even the girl with a perfect 1600 score wasnât arrogant.
Yep.
hard agree; emotional intelligence is so important in this world. he's young, so I hope he develops it over time :)
i do not like his character whatsoever
yall just jealous of his confidence. don't conflate it with arrogance
he lacks it but i like it lol idk
Okay, but a 1600 is a perfect score. She literally can't have someone higher than her.
It technically is possible. I got a 2360 on the SATs in 2015 when there was an additional essay section worth 800 points.
@@aaronwilson4258 But these are all graduating seniors and college freshman, so... no. It's not
I know someone who scored a 1600 twice. Once their sophomore year and again their Jr year!
@@aaronwilson4258 "GPA only indicates how much effort you put in. I got a near perfect score on the SATs but had a 2.8 GPA. My grades weren't great because I refused to waste my time doing homework." Was this not you
@@rais.3817 why take it again after you get a 1600
Michael's shocked face at Kylie, when she scored better than him even though her calculator died had me cackling
âLike, huh?â
we'll technically she could've just gotten another calculator.
@@patrickm70 not how it works
@@foxtun6746 yes it is. you can ask for another calculator.
@@patrickm70 well in my school thatâs not how the psat works so maybe itâs different for different schools
Honestly props to the chick who got accepted to Berkley but gave it up for community college instead. It's a smart decision to figure your stuff out for cheaper, and I admire that a lot.
Yeah thatâs a huge decision to make
I think she was joking about getting accepted to Berkeley
@@ricedratiny7796 I donât think she was joking at all. Schools costs money that she might not have
is this a coping strategy
That was a pretty atrocious decision. Sacrificing so many potential opportunities. It's upsetting that the financial aid people receive isn't always sufficient.
me, a European, googling wtf SAT & GPA are:
đ
No way u have never heard of it at least once đ
yeah me too đ€Ł
@@abigailyalew1304 Nope, as European, we never heard about it because it is useless information for us.
@@abigailyalew1304 I'm Asian and i also have never heard about them
I think the girl going to Community College also deserves some praise. It can be so easy to get wrapped up in the whole college name game and lose sight of the bigger picture about life after college. As someone whose experienced the debt to actual importance of a college degree ratio I can say that going to a not so prestigious school or comm college can a lot of the time be just as effective (obviously this isn't for all cases and majors)
@Miles Stewart im sorry what does that Have to do with her choice In schooling?
I agree I saw her instagram and she is a behavioral technician and model, her choice was in her best interest!
Yeah, it really depends on the major. In Canada, a technical or trades program in college will often earn you more than a B.A. in university after graduating
Could you explain to someone like me who is not from USA, what is community college and how is it different from other colleges?
@@sayanAcharjee so think of it as like a âjunior schoolâ community college is 2 years for what we call an associates degree or to transfer and then thereâs the universityâs which is 4 or more years for higher degrees. Itâs quite literally the same education but with community it stops at an associates. Usually what people do is they go there first because itâs WAYYY cheaper and sometimes free and then they do the rest of their years at a university. It saves a lot of money
They were respectful and seemed pretty intelligent. I love this group
Have you seen their sat of course theyâre intelligent
@@onlinetrends2478 not how SAT or tests work in general. A universal truth that some people donât know or admit is intelligent is very vast

@@saberfan is it not đ what did you get?
@@choco3474 definetly not for cs lmao
@@saberfan who cares though
GPA and SAT/ACT scores don't always correlate. My friend had like a 2.7 GPA and like aced her ACT score. Higher than the valedictorian whose GPA was like a 4.4. it honestly depends on if you're a person who does well on standardized tests or not.
GPA only indicates how much effort you put in. I got a near perfect score on the SATs but had a 2.8 GPA. My grades weren't great because I refused to waste my time doing homework.
is that ed sheeran in your pfpđ
@@aaronwilson4258 relatable
That person was probably very smart but didnât try in school tho
I had a 2.7 in highschool and a barely passing SAT on both reading and math and i just graduated from a 4 year university now going into grad school.
Opal was very dismissive of how GPA may not always be an indicator of how someone will perform on the SAT + the whole "hard work is hard work" thing. He wasnât very understanding of pplâs different circumstances and what may be going on in a personâs life. It sounded like he was speaking from a place of immense privilege.
beytahh
Heâs wearing a $5k outfit
No, he just concluded at the end of day it does correlate, that's it
@@soda4638 he made a clothing brand which has sold out on almost every release, also is a tiktoker with over 100 000 followers. Looks like he works hard for what he affords, also pretty sure everything he is wearing apart from jewelry is second hand and steals on Grailed or thrifting
what? dude went to *rehab* and got a 1500, how is that privilege? on the contrary maintaining a high gpa across 4 years IS privilege since it means your home and school life is stable and supportive for such a long period of time. i'd understand this argument more if it were the 70s, but it's 2022 and there is so much free SAT prep material online that it's fair to say "hard work is hard work". if you have access to a computer or ipad, you can study for the SAT-- even 10 minutes of free khan academy test prep a day will add up.
Here's how I feel about Opal. I think he genuinely believes what he's saying but I don't think it's very considerate of different situations. I don't hate him as others are saying. And hard work is hard work. But the outcome of hard work is often very different depending on where your starting line is. If a homeless person works very hard they will end up much better off than they would have otherwise and that is true but it is almost a guarantee that someone who is rich that works EQUALLY as hard will climb much much higher because of their access to different opportunities. So yes the statement "hard work is hard work" is true, it's just a little lazy in my opinion.
He wasnât talking about homeless people though... he was speaking about preparation for standardized tests. Itâs easier to not believe in hard work than to take responsibility for yourself.
@@arachnid33 if two people work as hard, the one with more resources and who is richer will have a higher score than those who donât
@@arachnid33 obviously the homeless part was an extreme to demonstrate my point. The point being that hard work has different results depending on where you start. Someone who is rich can afford more prep classes, more tutoring, more extracurricular activities, etc
@@arachnid33 still. not everyoneâs starting line is the same
@@arachnid33 what if you have other responsibilities or circumstance that doesn't let you maximize your potential to standardized tests?
The fact that opal is premed is scary to me. He completely lacks empathy. He tries to generalize his experience to everybody. Literally the twins went to the same school and the one with the higher GPA got a much lower SAT score so his point on that was invalid. He also completely invalidated peoples experiences just because he was able to be resilient and persevere through his hardships. Not everyone is like him and that doesn't make them any less of a person.
Opal is a weirdo
That was his personal opinion there should be nothing wrong with that with stating your opinion
no, it sounds that hes been through more than most people and he isnt trying to be some softy and play a victim like most people do. You need those people, they are the ones who will do actual hard work and not complain about it. Also hes trying to be neuro surgeon so idk exactly where he needs empathy? He will try tho save the person as best as he can either way
@@queenrudshel9802 And its their opinion that Opal's opinion is just wrong. Like just cause you have an opinion does not mean it has to respected
I was thinking that to an extent, but everyone has their biases & it's hard to get a true read on them in such a short video. Most students who start as premed will not become a doctor. For those that do, there are a wide range of personalities. Ignoring the cut-throatedness of med school, even people who lack empathy can still excel in certain specialties. For example, a orthopedic surgeon probably doesn't need to be as personable as a PCP to do their job efficiently
Is no one going to take about how Emily took the sat only once and got a 1600 wth
She likely took many many many practice tests
@@mujtabaalam5907 facts there is no other valid answer
Yeah, she probably should have taken it a 2nd time
@@hdog24 Say what if it were a black girl?
@@hdog24 yes
I had a 4.0 and got a 19 on the ACT. I pulled an unintentional all nighter the night before, drank a Venti latte before, cried my way through the math portion, then crashed and fell asleep during the science portion. I got diagnosed a very severe ADHD 3 years later.
had a 3.8 took the ACT 4 times to come out with a 25 I felt it.
I got a 19 on the ACT too, but I've had the range of a 3.5 and 4.0 gpa, and I've been wishing I got a better score but I've been accepted into schools so I got that I guess
Did you end up taking it again??
I did the opposite, had a 3.2 GPA but a 34 on the ACT. The reason my GPA was so garbage was because I couldn't turn in assignments on time for the life of me. Graduated and also got diagnosed with ADHD later down the line đ goes to show that the ADHD experience really can't be generalized.
@@aaronlockett9114 inflated gpa
Iâm glad Opal wasnât the top spot bc his views on SATs vs GPA were very privileged. Emily is a such a queen!
SAME cuz everyone goes through different things and just because he got through it doesnât mean others havenât tried either. it kinda annoyed me.
Seriously. He tried to justify still doing well on the SATs despite going through hard times because he got a 1500 while going through rehab. How rich do you have to be to develop an addiction so serious that you have to go to rehab at that age? He doesn't realize that he had a much more privileged upbringing-which truly affects academic performance-than most there.
exactly
@@aaronwilson4258 i dont think going to rehab makes you privileged
@@Amanda-kx9st That's debatable. Most people can't afford rehab.
I would like to see the same video but with adults out of college and/or on the working market. I feel that high school students put so much value on their exams scores when nobody cares when you reach college or work
That would be cool as long as they get adults from the same rubric period. My demographics SAT score was out of 2400 scale. I also have no idea what my score was, haven't thought about it for a decade.
Exactly đ
@@pinedasgal I never even took the sat haha in illinois in 2015 we took the ACT, idk if they even have that anymore but regardless scores and schoolwork literally don't matter
@@violett874 I'm sure that there's people that wouldn't find it interesting, like every video.

Why is no one else mentioning this about the twins?? Emily was salutatorian (Rank #2) with a 4.4 GPA, and her twin brother Jack had a higher GPA of 4.6. Am I missing something or does that mean Jack was valedictorian (how is there such a wide gap between Rank 1 and 2?)?? Not to mention he had the lowest SAT score of the bunch, no wonder Jack says SATs is meaningless at the end of the video lol
I think at one point she was about to say salutatorian wasn't just based off of grades at her school but idk
.
no same i got confused there
Ranking is based off of SAT and GPA
@@gracerobishaw365 itâs actually much more than that
Opal seems like hes still going through stuff and that's why he seemed to be lacking/arrogant/defensive. I find him highly relatable to a younger version of myself and that means he is definitely going through it. It took me a long time to move through it but I'm able to recognize it now in others, like him. I hope he heals
Or he could just be arrogant...
maybe a misanthrope?

@@laishey2594 Yea, and who cares? He will probably have a better life than you.
@@LIGHTISBURNING because of a privilege start?
Really bro? Opal kept interrupting everyone lmao but its a 'no brainer' that SAT scores are greatly impacted by socioeconomic status. Two students with the same high GPA that come from different SES can have completely different SAT scores because the wealthy student can pay for tutoring or programs to score higher. Its a no-brainer, Opal.

well he knew he had a high score? So what is there to be mad about. Realistically there wasnt going to be that many people ahead of him.
well he had a 99 percentile score.. it would make sense that he would be at least somewhere in the top

Respectfully Iâve never had a four hour long midtermđ
The longest was a 3-hour final exam in my entire college career. Most exams are 1-2 hours. Nobody got time to take (and GRADE!) your four hour exam lol
I never took the SAT/ACT. Graduated high school with a poor gpa, around 2.0 I believe. I was fooling around and found myself in a year long depression. Went to community college and cleaned up my act. Had a 4.0 my first year of community, transferred to a 4-year university thatâs well recognized in my state. Worked full time and went to school full time, graduated with a 3.46. Went to grad school for MBA, graduated with a 3.67. Now Iâm pursuing a rewarding career. Yeah, maybe if I did better in high school I wouldâve done better in college and landed somewhere just a bit more competitive. I could make a bunch of excuses as to why I didnât but thatâs behind me. In sum, you can do well in life without standardized tests or a near perfect score on them. But I get why theyâre important.
Very inspiring! Thanks for sharing:)
What major tho?
Yes queen or King
Opal is the guy who everyone will dislike or avoid talking to in a group because he's full of himself and thinks he knows everything and been through everything.
his opinion on fashion is the exact same thing. spot on
Actually he seems to be pretty reasonable, just had to go through stuff to be where he is. Some people won't understand that and be uncomfortable near him, then avoiding. Others will like him and be around. This is life.
@@Ernesto_Gehrke no hes just disgusting
Opal is more likeable than Emily who is a pretentious humble bragger
Chichi and Emily Zhang were such a cute little duo of this episode. My favorites
The whole calculator emphasis is funny considering the SAT is constructed so that you can do every problem without a calculator (and often the without calculator math is easier than with).
Thatâs what I was thinking the whole time. The test doesnât really go above advanced algebra which could easily be done without a calculator
Opal sounds arrogant! He said you can go through hard stuff but hard work is hard work. Hardships hit people differently. As soon as he said that I figured he was either highest or second highest. He may be book smart but he has a lot to learn about life!! I'm also curious if that rehab was for a stimulant?
I agree, especially considering heâs premed he should have a level of empathy where he can understand that not everyoneâs experience hardship will be the same. Not everyone will have the same resources or support that he had to overcome his. It comes off super ignorant to assume otherwise.
@@piplup1277 should is the key word, considering there are plenty of burnt out and non empathetic people in the medical field.
Yeah, obviously we can't judge someone too harshly based on an edited video that's a couple minutes long. He could've been nervous or trying to show off or whatever... but he does give off the vibe that he's going to be one of those people that gets into the workforce and automatically thinks he knows best. Not someone I'd want going into med.
What? He wasnt. He was respectful and very well spoken.
@@jhonklan3794 You can be well spoken, and even respectful, but still be arrogant. Although I think ignorant would've been a better word. He thinks just because he worked through his problems and his family could afford rehab for him, everyone could do the same. Not everyone who has the same, or similar, experiences will have the same outcome. But he's young and this video definitely doesn't show anyone's entire personality. He'll learn to listen and have empathy and be aware that different people can have different life outcomes as he gets older and has more experience in the world.
Iâd be interested to see this done again in like full-fledged adults, like 30+
I don't even remember what I had for dinner yesterday let alone my SAT score lol.
@@zzzzzzzzzz098 I wouldnât either lol but I recently applied to med school and some schools actually wanted to know đ” so when I tell you I LITERALLY had to dig them up on the college board site đ it was so ridiculous and annoying
Bruh I got a 1460 on mine & was shocked it was better than some of their scores because *for real theyâre all geniuses!* The way they articulate in speech, the crazy # of APs they took, their freaky 4+ GPAs đ regardless of their actual scores I am verrrry impressed with them all
"the crazy # of APs they took, their freaky 4+ GPAs" This is more a factor of their school allowing them to take large numbers of APs and weighing them heavily
opal sayin hard work is hard work just cuz he went to rehab. well it is a privilege to have the support to go to rehab. others don't have the support
he has a point tho.
One of the best groups on Jubilee Iâve ever seen, everyone is so wholesome!
Opal asking why Emily didn't put herself first really shows the difference between them. She's not arrogant or conceited bro. She's intelligent and has emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills.
Thereâs a difference between being overly modest and being humble, they were genuinely trying to rank themselves, the game in itself is already conceited. You might as well participate
Emily is the opposite of having eq, what she is doing is called "humble bragging" which is one of the most disgusting trait a human can have. I'm so glad opal is calling her out.
@@grapefruitsyrup8185 lmaooo I wouldnât go that far but at the very least I can recognize when someone is just being way too modest for no reason, because Iâm usually that guy doing the humble bragging lol
Hard disagree. She belonged in the first ranking; that's just an objective fact which she surely knew. Not moving into the correct position was either false modesty or excessive timidity. In either case, that's a clear LACK of emotional intelligence on her part. I wouldn't trust her making decisions that require self-knowledge or confidence.
Everyone hating on the person who's flawless reveals their own flaws. I can't imagine how much it must suck to have to go to USC.
Iâm surprised nobody in the video cared to define what SAT is (basically any acronym should be defined if is the entire concept of a video) knowing that Jubilee has a lot international viewers as well
đźđź
The sat doesnât stand for anything but yeah, they shouldâve had some sort of explanation
@@sillygoofygoober7931 let me clarify this to OP more the Acronym it first had when it was originally created was dropped as it did not keep up with the meaning of the test as it has been developed through the years. Before it was the S.A.T. For scholastic aptitude test and then scholastic assessment test until the college board in 1997 changed their stance to it does not stand for anything as it does not only measure aptitude.
Totally agree. Americans just expect the whole world to understand how their system operates.
I hate when i meet a tourist and ask where they are from and they say âDelawareâ or âupstate Michiganâ. Tf where is that?? Just say America lol. If I told you I was from Swindon in England you wouldnât have a clue
I thought you were being sarcastic because I remember Jubilee's Ranking the Most Intelligent video. They 'defined' intelligence and based their discussions on their definitions.
you can tell that some of these kids are smart because they've already realized that SAT scores are meaningless in the real world.
*edit: i'm speaking as a professional already a few years out of college, in the engineering world. not a student.
Already?
What you've said makes no sense
Sat scores can help you get ahead in society. They may not "matter" but what college you go to can open insane doors for you because of who you're surrounded by.
Yeah parents with money or quotas matter more.
Did you not watch the end where they said their colleges? The prestige of the colleges matched their scores. And people who go to better colleges are recruited at higher rates to top companies. So it does matter.
Opal cocky asf!
girl who is taking a 4 hour midterm in college đ
Dang, everyone hating on Opal. He did specify that he was generalizing.
It's probably hard when you've pushed yourself through things and you hear people complain about their experiences that aren't as dramatic as his. He will need to take into account, he some prior can't afford rehab. Some don't even know they need rehab. Hopefully he'll meet people along the way that will broaden his perspective. Which... pretty much happens by default because of how many people are around you.
Thank you to Jubilee for doing this. Everybody is so mature even though they are so young.
Opal was so dismissive of everyones differences. Smh
As someone who is ND, with ADHD and in the tism spectrum, Opal reminds me of certain things in myself. The extreme straightforwardness, some inability to think abstracty (hard work is hard work). I asked the same thing when he asked Emily why she hesitated switching, if I got a 1600 score, I wouldn't have hesitated to switch as to me that is fact, why would I act as if I didn't, or hesitate?
People say he is arrogant, he might be, but it reminds me way more of how my tism works, when something is a fact it is a fact and that makes it unmovable, and when you don't catch social queues (and forget to mask and act bashful about things that simply are) it comes across as arrogance.
I'm glad somebody else noticed this too!
I thought this too
They way you talk about your "tism" is very cringy. It's a disorder that sucks, not something to parade around like it's a hip personality to associate with.
@@AMD1 dude what
@@LaMC944 Modern neurodevergent culture is a huge problem. There is so much misinformation floating around about what these disorders really are, and it is getting so skewed that people are claiming it is not a disability, or a disorder. It is perpetuating cute names (the tism), calling normal every-day things people albeit not very common as Autistic or ADHD, validating self-diagnosis and going as far to calm self-diagnose is more accurate than MDs/PhDs who devoted their profession into researching these disorders. People who actually have these diagnosis don't like to see what they struggle with being adopted as a group of fun and unique personality traits. There are people suffering with these disorders and seeing them minimized makes us feel like garbage, and worry about being excluded and marginalized once again. Yes the tism meant to be light hearted, thut thrown around to describe yourself is very cringe. To parade these disorders around like it is who you are is harmful for us who have no choice because it will always be a part of us. What happened to society when it is not ok to treat physical disabilities this way, but it is somehow ok to do so with psychological disabilities. Are people going to start identifying as paraplegic for whatever reason I can't imagine, like I never imagined would happen to ADHD and Autism.
I loved their vibe!! Such a nice group!!
I appreciate Chichi talking about being neurodivergent!! And the ADHD mentions
It's been some time since I took the sat but I always felt standardized tests never reflected me. I learned years after that I've always had testing anxiety.
i love this episode one of my favorites love seeing people my age in videos.
Sameeee
I think it was mostly people with above average SAT's that agreed to this. 1160 is a slightly above score and it was dead last. The top two people were both in the top 1% and the top person had a perfect score. Long story short this was not anywhere near an average sample from across the country.
this was really interesting to watch! can yâall do it with ACT scores next?
Emily has Asian humility đ
I think it was more that she came to a new country as a first generation immigrant. sheâs likely been exposed to more hardships and lack of privilege which someone like Opal obviously hasnât gone through.
I love Emily, people like her are true role models
@@rasn yeah plus she seems like she's a perfectionist and is hard on herself. I want to hug her and say she's enough
What a wholesome group!
I took the ACT not the SAT but I got a 34 which equals 1520-1550, and I was definitely not the smartest person, I just understood test taking strategies. I had a 3.98 GPA in high school but again, not the smartest, I just took easier classes and stayed caught up. Part of doing well is intelligence but itâs also just understanding techniques to help you do well, despite your intelligence level.
I had the same ACT as u. I graduated USC in 2020 but didnât get in my first time applying because my GPA was much worse than urs. I think they realized my high school Harvard Westlake is one of the hardest schools in the country so its tough do well
I always believed that in an academic setting, itâs about the obedience and due diligence to ensure success rather than just sheer intellect.
Any tips on the sat or act
If I knew how to take tests back then I wouldâve scored higher
understanding techniques and using them to your advantage is a type of intelligence as well, i find that very impressive
As someone whos been in a similar state as opal (recovering addict and also premed) i would like to say to me it seems he has been hurt a lot and when you come to that point that he has of having to resort to rehab it comes down to the mentality of "work will pay off no matter what" when in reality its not that simple but if he let himself believe anything else than that he would probably just relapse. Its obvious he was a bit defensive/inconsiderate but he didnt have bad intentions nor was he like that because he was ignorant on purpose it just seems he was anxious and has been hurt a lot in his life
I really liked this video it showed the importance of being open and transparent. Sometimes we tend to get so caught up in meaningless numbers. We might even closely identify with it because of fear, rejection, and inadequacy. At the end of the day we are complex beings, numbers are one way of measuring, not the only way.
Curly hair was hurt, bought to have his Vegeta SSJ1 Arc next SAT LOL
1600 is a perfect score on a difficult test.
Opal states that SAT scores are well correlated with GPA within the same school. This is a fair and logical point considering that (regardless of the school) your GPA is the consequence of your effort and access. Perhaps your GPA is not an indicator of how capable you are generally, but it is certainly an indicator to how well youâd perform comparably to other students within the same school.
This is a given lol
This is a given lol
I agree, but it seems to be quite the controversial statement in other comments.
Idk I was the kind of student who got a 2 in high school and then graduated Cumme Laude with a 3.9 GPA
**Edited to specify that I graduated from college with a 3.9 not High School
That twin had a higher GPA but lower score. Probably not the norm but đ€·đŸââïž
Emily got 1600 and was pretending like someone could have done better lol
Maybe she thought they tied? Idek haha
Maybe the producers asked her to let others place her?
Ikr? I hate peoples people that.
@@user-jo3st1xs1q She wasn't being like that. The producers told her to not place herself. She was cast in the episode for the psychological game.
im probably totally off about this but the Neuroscience guy seems very slightly stuck up idk
definitely had his SAT score in his instagram bio
Youâre not. You could see how mad he was for not being first
@@Davo2times ain't no way đ
The kids were so honest. Hugs to Chichi đ€
It bugs me that almost everyone's GPA was > 4.0. I'm years out of high school but this brought me back to feeling insecure and competitive over grades.
Probably just because they took a whole bunch of AP courses + the shown GPA being weighted. Ultimately, GPA is in no way a viable means of ranking someone. Nobody has the same situation. A valedictorian is not better than another person. Rather, everyone is just a different person who face different challenges which are unfortunately reflected onto their GPAâs. Unfortunately, we probably have to wait like a century or two for the education system to get better through generations of insightful people.
I love how Emily sticks up for her brother.
I just took my first SAT test, and this video is so much fun to watch!!!
yeaaa i really like this group of people, everyone seems quite wholesome and smart
i especially like Emily :)
Which one? The twin or Stanford?
@@wm6549 stanford girl :)
I identify with ChiChi so much. I am also first gen Nigerian American and the first born. I've grown up with a lot of pressure to set the best example for my siblings. Surprise, I'm also premed like her
you can't tell what someone is like from watching one video about them, Opal was outspoken for sure but listened to what everyone is saying. brother's obviously gone through some stuff too. there's a girl in my third-year med class, she's really blunt and doesn't make an effort to make the conversation easier for others at all but when you get to know her she's really sweet. I didn't think he's arrogant at all
WHY ARE THESE VIDEOS SO ADDICTINGG
Opal being like "we're talking about generalizations here" lol okay then in plenty of our schools it's the exact opposite of what you experienced... Emily made the perfect point after, 6:53 love her.
just bc "hard work" worked for some white dude (esp who can AFFORD something like rehab...) doesn't mean it's going to work for literally anyone else. lmao. if you wanna claim to be so wise, show it -- don't just say it. prove it to us.
Why is no one talking about this!!!! This is the biggest reason SAT and ACTs are inaccurate.
The twins are so awesome đđđđ Emily and Jack. Cute names
College and SAT work for many people, but if you struggle with school, just know that job experience can get you far and succeed. I was terrible at school and graduated with a 2.4gpa and never took an SAT. I also dropped out of community college and decided to work from 19 to 24 I am now working a job that required a degree in social work because I had the "equivalent experience". Also, my older brother only went to community college for an EMT license that he never used and now makes way over 6 figures at a bank from experience. Just know you don't have to freak out; take the path in life that you best see fit.
What funny timing! I take my first SAT tomorrow đ đŹ
honestly this made me feel better about my sat. I went to a competitive hs, so seeing that my score would actually be considered high at other schools makes me feel proud of myself.
what did u get?
I wish they had given the scales for their GPAs. Some schools max out at 4.0.
GPAs are standardized. There should be no differences between schools. 4.0 is max for unweighted. But weighted (what they were talking about) max out at 5.0
@@ellafering7935 my schools weighted only maxed to 4!
@@ellafering7935 Weighted scales can be VASTLY different between schools. My schoolâs weighted GPA max was 5.805. Schools do provide a weighted grading scale chart to help university admission committees understand the weightings.
@@ellafering7935 my schools is on a weight 6.0 scale
@@ellafering7935 they are not standardized across America. Some district go up to 6.0 and some donât even use the 4.0 scale like certain Texas schools
10:17 LMAO at the camera zooming out from Jack, when he was discussing his surprise at his SAT score being the lowest.
this video felt like a mini series! cools
This is by far the most accurate guess episode, they really did great!
I love Chichi they seem so nice and kind đ„č
@@chishh2554 They use gender neutral pronouns too.
@@chishh2554 they were just trying to not assume their pronouns xD
Wow what have we come to..we are so afraid to even use proper pronouns on someone
@@sunbearwithwrinklesonback it's not that deep bro
she's nigerian, definately a "she"
Standardized tests can be great for smart students that go to to schools with limited funding, such students may not have the opportunity to do resume building extracurriculars, therefore the test may be one of the only things they can do to differentiate themselves.
Such a great group of young adults. Love their interaction with each other.
opal's gonna realize only valuing test scores doesn't get you very far beyond high school when he bombs his first interview
This group is very impressive
Love it Carla !đđ€©â€đđ
I love these videos so much
Same
we can all agree that the devils advocate makes the discussion interesting, but i love the girl with a 1600 she just incorporates intelligent words (to me) in her speech that scratches an itch in my brain
Lol she didnât say any intelligent words, r u a brainlet? She couldnât even pronounce meritocratic
she has a cringeworthy type of humbleness
@@ramoniboy nah she probably thought someone else had a perfect 1600. The perfect mix of beauty and brains â„ïž
@@angelBageldanglemangle thatâs not a very common score.
@@ramoniboy people have the same score in these videos sometimes so it's not a stretch, and I wouldn't say just because its uncommon= not possible.

đlike bestie nooo
what
like why tf. anything over 10 is a no for me đ
@@saberfan yeah, I don't even think anything more than 10 aps is beneficial in terms of ur prospects of getting in to a university. I don't understand why people take so many? And i highly doubght they do the AP's out of "passion."
@@sebastianszekely3400 Exactly. Itâs the quality over quantity type of thing
âI disagree..â okay AND?! HE DOESNT RUN THE GROUP! They shouldâve switched Iâd they wanted to.
I related to Chichi when she had said her mom told her that her sister was taking after her and etc. I am a first generation American as well and my parents instilled in me that grades should be a #1 priority for me and hard work is needed to get anywhere in life for college and everything
I graduated USC for college in 2020. I went through not only the original college applications but also transfer applications because i transferred from University of Miami. I thought most Universities it is mandatory to submit ACT/SAT scores? They made it seem like it was optional.
I literally did the last SAT of my life today lol, and it appears in this video. I am a Brazilian applying to US for scholarship, but I hate SAT omg
opal just rubbed me the wrong way.
I thought opal was rude
@@thekatchat6017 you know, nothing about the guy đ.

@@Blaten187 they're saying they thought he was rude specifically in this video....and we all watched the video, didn't we? don't know have to know every single thing about someone to be able to give your opinion on their behavior here
â@@keys2467 Agreed. He's very crass and condensending. He could have more class with how he speaks to other people without being demeaning and demanding to them.
the fact the girl got a 1600 on her first try
CHICHI I LOVE YOUUU my literal bestie
Carla has all my praise đ«¶đ«¶đ«¶
Mark Zuckerberg got a 1600 on his SAT too. That girl is smart, smart!!!
i graduated with a 3.89 GPA and got a 1060 on my SAT and a 21 on my ACT đ these extremely long tests in my opinion are completely useless and immensely stressful. A college placement test i took to be a dual enrollment student was only 2 hours long and I received a perfect score. the amount of time spent on the SAT and ACT is exhausting. draining. and not to mention youâre expected to study for these tests while still keeping up with your regular class work. i didnât study for either one. iâm in community college now with a 3.98 GPA and iâm excelling in my academics as a first generation immigrant and next year the first in my family to graduate from college with a bachelors degree. these tests do not measure intelligence or effort. they simply measure patience and focus. something many of us with attention deficits struggle with.
huffing copium
'useless and immensely stressful.' If you had better grades u would not be thinking that.
Most of the asian standardised tests are three hours and i totally agree. I died preparing and then taking them..
I have to disagree I think that the SAT and ACT are both important tests that should be mandatory, my reasoning behind why is that it is something universal meaning there shouldn't be any bias there, unlike with schools GPAs differ greatly depending on what school you go to and even what classes you take within the same school so, in my opinion, standardized tests are a great indicator of how well you are going to do, generally speaking (you are an exception to this obviously). I do agree that they should be made shorter or maybe even just split to where you take each section on a different day, but the problem is that with a person's GPA there are just way too many unknown variables at play, especially for international students where schools have different rules.
My school didnât have AP or IB classes and I enrolled there when I was a junior, so by the time all my transfer paperwork was finished, I only was able to take 2 college classes (which also raise your GPA), but they werenât on my transcripts when I applied. I applied with a 4.0 and a 990 SAT (I was always behind in math so I basically failed that section) and got into Berkeley. Iâm personally not a believer in standardized testing.
@Merican Modi No, I was just always behind in math so I really just guessed on everything in that section. I also didn't have the time and financial resources to study for the SAT, but looking back on it, I wish I used free resources like Khan academy more to improve my English score. I was accepted into 2 top ten public universities though and just graduated from one in June, so I'm doing fine haha :)
@Merican Modi He's very unlikely to ever need any more math than he already knows.
@Merican Modi it's great that you're so judgmental. People who come at others like this make the world so much better.
@Merican Modi "numeracy" is a myth.
@Merican Modi Do you even know what any math beyond arithmetic is? It seems that your thinking is quite limited.
I took ACT and SAT and just simply liked the ACT better. I got a 1430 SAT and a 34 ACT which should be equivalent to like 1500 SAT so some people are just better at some tests than others.
For me in my school it is impossible to get a 4.5 gpa so it also depends on the schools weighted gpa system
Shout out to Chichi đłđŹ u dey represent đ
I took the SAT my junior year in 2017.
I got a 1210. Which was the highest in my school.
Same score around the same time I wish I went to your school I would have felt better about myself tons of kids with close to perfect scores
Damn, I got a 1490 and I was maybe in the 90th percentile at my school. A few kids got perfect scores and a lot got mid 1500s
I was top 10% at 1450 in 2015
how tf is the top score so lowđ
Is ur school in Dhaka?
