Where are you from, Katie? Are you American?
HARVARD SENT YOU THE WRONG DECISION LETTER!?
meso how did i find you here and how did u get top comment?
Don't be a jack of all trades. It's much better to be an expert or grand master in two things. Colleges want a well-rounded class, not well-rounded students. Jack of all trades doesn't result in extraordinary alumni. Experts and pros do. Being an expert often will make up some deficiency in test scores.
I guess it is an expertise to justify how the slowest runner should be designated the champion.
Tbh, there’s nothing wrong with being a jack of all trades. I know it’s controversial, but doing things for the sake of getting into colleges instead of trying things out and defining the purpose of your life is pretty much...missing the point of living.
Why do what colleges want, instead of what you want?
NOP. Mostly people arent jack of all trades. Do you point me anyone who knows modern history like a professor, who played basketball and doing fitness in addition who knows biology secondly chemistry very well as well as can use adobe photoshop and can built 10 cm scale models of tanks andl draw 3D pictures just by using CZcams?
I think no because the person descripted above is me. I can say that ı am well rounded and can do anyrthing I wanted (didnt count cooking and being bilingual) and this is a great thing.
@Daniel Teshome Yes. Thanks for you opinions.

@@KatieTracy Hi! Thank you for posting this video- it was really helpful! I am an upcoming senior this fall and was wondering if you could elaborate on you mean by a central "theme". Since you mentioned that your theme was "creativity", do you mean that you regret it not being specific enough? What are some examples of strong themes? Thank you so much!

I really wish I had found your channel before I did my college applications. I also applied to a few top 20 schools RD and am currently waiting on decisions (agh), but these are definitely insights I'll tell my junior friends! I love your channel, and I'm honestly shocked that you got waitlisted with SO MANY accolades, but mad respect to you for leaving it up to God :) You're a great role model and you'll definitely make a big difference at Cornell!! ❤
Aww elise this is such a sweet comment. Honestly made my night. I’m excited for what’s in store for you bc God knows best💛 I hope your junior friends get into their dream schools and keep me updated! Good luck with your last year of high school☺️

Now is the time👿👿👿
Honestly there are some many top students not getting into Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Penn, or Columbia etc that is really luck after some point
love u smmmm
Thanks for sharing. God bless you.
God bless YOU! AHAH💛
this is so helpful!! love your videos
“Senioritis” haha that’s a word I haven’t heard or thought about in a very long time. Thanks for sharing, back when I applied to college (seems ages ago), I also got rejected by 1 and was waitlisted by another (I did get in to the other 5 I applied to), but in hindsight, I think Cornell was a great place to spend my four years as an undergrad, and it is a big part of who I am and I am proud to be a Cornellian.
Omg love u Katie I love your collage videos I’m only in 7th grade but I’ve already got a plan set out for my kids and these help so much!!
Aw ily more Athena! I can’t wait for what’s in store for you☺️💛
Hey Katie! I am a big fan of your videos and I have found them genuinely helpful through guiding me through high school. As a sophomore, I am about to pursue the IB Diploma! Should my overall theme with my extracurriculars roughly match the IB classes I take? My school offers most IB classes but no all to match my Engineering theme. Also, when top universities/Ivy-league are accepting students, do they compare you to your classmates if they are applying to the same university as you? I hope you can reply.
That competitive drive in you is one of a kind, im a very competitive top student as well and people will say stuff, dont listen continue being the competitive person you are, keep it up.
How do I make my extracurriculars revolve around one idea? I do badminton, lots of band stuff, straight As, outside math class, city youth council, and honor society president at my middle school
I don’t really know what drives me, I just end up doing my activities to improve my skills 🤷🏻♀️
a lot of reflection and I suggest, someone to talk to will help you bounce these ideas. It’s challenging but definitely something I wish I did looking back.. so just ponder it!
Hey it would be of great help if you could make a detailed video about transferring to the top colleges. Thank you❤
Hey, so when AOs look over your application, do they cut you off if you are at or a little below the 25th percentile and ignore the rest of your application or do they still read through the other parts of the admission?
HOWD YOU CLEAR YOUR SKINNN🤩
Congrats you got in some amazing collages
Thank you!!
Hey! I'm curious, would you be able to explain what happens when waitlisted a bit more? I just thought you're kind of up to chance if it trickles down to you but can you send in letters to make them possibly consider you as a candidate?
Thanks!
oh! also p.s. Cornell has been my dream school ever since freshman year and I have always wanted to play volleyball there...I would appreciate any intel on ivy sports and how to get them to work in your favor? ANY Cornell-specific intel I would LOVE
OMG very much needed!! Thank you Katie 😘 Btw, I’m a filipino and it will be my first time to study here in US
YAYY HOW EXCITING!! Wishing you the best💛🎊
Katie Tracy thank you 😭😭
Do you have any tips on what should I ask or prepare during the campus tour
alohaaaa❤️
a day/week at cornell video please? ❤️
Wow... Great! 🎉👍
Dang you’re smart, I have one more tour and then I’ll make my decision
35th comment! lol thanks for the video, your channel is really entertaining!
Aw thank you sm💛💛
Okay, I have three questions lol
1) When do you find out if you’ve been accepted off the waitlist?
2) Should you still write a letter of continued interest if you got deferred?
3) what should you include in a letter of continued interest?
Thank you so much for these types of video. I'm just a junior taking IB and hoping to get into Columbia University or UChicago *fingers crossed* no one has ever got into these schools yet from our school so I'm kinda scared but your videos make me feel as if your just a block away. how do you even manage your time wisely? like thats something that Im still learning beyond IB. anyways, congrats po --- love from the Philippines
ALOHAAA
Did you do anything else besides the optional update form after getting the deferral from Stanford?
I reached out to my interviewer and A LOT of alum but I mentioned it briefly in the form and mentioned other updates I had. :)
How did you manage to do all of your activities?? Girl, teach us howww 😩😩 u da bombbb
Trizelle yeah that’s crazyyy
AHAH LOOKING BACK, i’m really surprised😂 i share some tips in my how i got a 45 / revealing stats video! :)
Aloha!
Love the vid but I needed this like a few months ago. I turned my apps months ago.
aw I’m sure you’ll end up somewhere amazing and a perfect fit for you! Good luck!!
what college did u end up choosing to go to?
@@abhinavsatish6810 Clemson 😂😂
Great video ! What sport did you play?
shoot, I'm submitting my ED application to Cornell 9 days later. I feel I am exactly doing what you are telling me not to do.
Is there a chance to rewrite my essays and LoR?
Did you get in? xD
@@zerdapolat4109 nope =(( I decided not to apply to Cornell and gave up the ED round. I'm at Rice rn XD
Thanck you - Very muche.
Ho are you !
Like yes
History importantic
Ho the performace inclib.
So do you write a letter of continued interest for one college or more than one?
these are some good tips hehe and yes thats right God places you in situations best for you! and its good that you’re enjoying cornell now hehe
yesss God has a plan
The Ivy Leagues had a Q&A session in my country (Sri Lanka) and someone had brought up quotas, and one of the Ivy Leauge reps said that they don't have such a thing because it was illegal.
I mean I don’t think there is a strict, hard-enforced quota. However, I think there is a clear trend in roughly how many they take for diversity purposes. They wouldn’t just take 100 from the Philippines if historically they’ve been taking 5!
Katie Tracy Yeah true. I thought it was worth mentioning 😅
still trying to figure out what to do that would make me ‘spectacular’ but i’m a junior now so it’s prolly too late :(
Cornell University is my dream school ever
HARVARD SENT YOU THE WRONG DECISION LETTER?!?
Alohaaaa katieee!!!!!😁😁😁
Aloha🌸
How are you liking Cornell? Is it as depressing as they say it is?
I’ve been enjoying Cornell! :) It didn’t affect me as much as it was made it out to be. I did two entire videos with Anna from Indiana about this actually - “debunking cornell myths”. You should check it out!
she shouldve done an high ivy league school for ED
she wouldve definately gotten in if it was that way
Well why didn't you applied to Harvard early action as from my knowledge, Harvard early decision is non binding so there was no harm in applying?
This video is so interesting and helpful Katie ❤️ I wanna thank you and in return I wanna recommend you some amazing music I discovered on Spotify, it's called: Benedict Ammann - Love ain't cheap
I hope you'll love it too ❤️
Ah, Filipina ka pala? Advice mo, so you think that I'll be wasting my time in applying to the Ivies without an IB diploma? Didn't get that chance since I'm from a small high school in an island. 😅 Will they also be biased about that? Marami akong extra-curriculars at susubukan ko mag-take ng SAT at mga AP exam (kahit ako magtake ng class). What's your advice to maximize my chances and those of the Filipinas out there from the far-flung places? Thanks. ❤
Do you still have to take the SAT , ACT and SAT subject tests if you take the IB diploma program?
Ya same question
Nope
Good job
Alohaaa Katie
DO NOT APPLY EARLY DECISION BECAUSE THEN YOU ARE CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATED TO GO TO THAT SCHOOL SND THEY WILL OFTEN GIVE YOU WAY LESS FINANCIAL AID. Early action is fine though that’s just sending your application in early
were you in an international school in the philippines?
🙌 *NO DISLIKES QUEEN* 🙌
😂🎉👑
LOVE YOUU
Ur so pretty
aw thank you💛
Harvard is my dream school.
You got fettered at Stanford?! That’s great!! They will probably accept you!
#early
are you from the philippines and international school in the philippines??
i just love that you're Christian💕!
总结得很好
Can like someone help me think of my theme. Ik it sounds weird and u might say oh i have to come up with it cause im the only one that knows me but like i cant think of 1 theme cause i do so many things
Swim team
Tennis team
I love art
I do several clubs and volunteer
I wanna be an optometrist
this will take a lot of reflection and yes, it’s true you know yourself best because your motivations are so unique to you. I suggest finding someone to talk to will help you bounce these ideas and dig deeper. It’s challenging but definitely something I wish I did looking back.. you can do it!
@@KatieTracy ok. Thank u :)
6:50 what kind of advantage?
those schools that deferred and waitlisted you don't know what they are missing, too bad for them
Aloha! this video was really helpful.
I heard that Cornell has scholarship opportunities for international students from India. If I apply for early decision and financial aid as an Indian , is there a better chance of me getting in? ♥
anyone...???
Omg definitely check out the Tata Scholarship!! admissions.cornell.edu/apply/international-students/tata-scholarship It's super generous and specific to Indian students applying to Cornell!
@@KatieTracy ty ♥
Oh
Hey ! Did you go to a feeder school?
