- Hey everyone, I'm still in total shock about my college acceptances. I'm so incredibly humbled that I was accepted by Harvard, Columbia, and other amazing schools at the age of 16. Here is my stats & extracurriculars video (finally)! I watched these types of videos throughout the college application process, so I thought I'd make one myself!

You definitely deserve Harvard! Hard work and passion result in excellence. Oliver is motivated by lots of your videos. Keep the good work, we are so proud of you!
Yay, thank you!!! Tell Oliver I said hi 😊
@@HelenPiltner congrats btw you’re really pretty
@@HelenPiltner do you know what ur iq is? i have a high iq but feel like im not doing as much as i should! how did you find all these opportunities to take classes early?
NO SHE DOES NOT. FAKE ECs
Wow, I’m Harvard class of 95, and after seeing this video, you are definitely Harvard material. What’s more shocking to me are all those schools that rejected you! I hope you’re doing well in your freshman year!
yeah because they just see the stats but not the human behind the achievements, they should have a personal talk too, like job interview it says more than few numbers.
@@Sorozatfuggoseg they do that though? They have interviews with the people applying
The level of coursework you did is already impressive, and even more so at only 16 years of age! Would love if you could do a study video or tips on how you were able to complete so many college courses at once. Best of luck at Harvard!
Yes! Your studying tips would be really helpful to have!
Lies again? Soccer Trial
So amazed at the hard work you did! But for those who feel like comparing yourself to her journey, remember that often times, your school or district doesnt offer u these extra curriculars or research opportunities. My HS only offered APush and AP lit. Also we only had one college offer college credit classes for high schoolers and the seats were very limited. At this point know that some things are simply not available to you, and reflect nothing about your talent or merit.
Also if you are lucky enough to have all these resources available, you dont have to kill yourself to have a full list of extracurriculars. Do wat u can and enjoy your freedom cuz college will take ur time up sooo fast.
Exactly!!!!
I- I am blown away with those grades! Could you share some study tips and how you coped with all those classes?
go to a private school that boosts grades
not how it works... don't be a jealous prick@@minecraftplayee
@@minecraftplayeelol not you mad. Most Private schools don't boost grades.
Can you make a video of showing how you study + how you don’t get distracted fast:)))
Yesssss 🙌🏽
yesssss
Was up, In college beginning my junior year I had access to a lab which was sound proofed. There was no information arriving from the outside world. It seriously altered my perception of time. I might think I had studied two hours but it really was six. Perceived three hours might be eight. Really big differences between perceived and real time, real time always much longer than I expected. My grades rose significantly my last two years. Average to nearly the best (at Yale). Was the lack of distraction the reason? I don’t know. There were other changes too.
I like that idea
Bloons Taxonomy do projects , debate , create off the things you wanna learn tge thing is you have to be able create only then you can grasp it properly .
You are SO talented!!! You totally deserved every acceptance
As a rising Junior in HS you did so much more than I ever could have !! Congrats :) hoping I’ll get into a good college like you some day !
sorry you arent getting in
@@bepoo8267 ????? what the hell, why would you tell someone that, like....
@@Ella-gb7no it’s true the person did much more than this person so he will definitely fail
@@bepoo8267 i dont want to start a whole argument here, but why "definitely fail"?? first of all, you dont even know the person, and second, failure is needed to succeed. You dont have to go to harvard to succeed, and there are different ways one can succeed. imo that's kind of a close-minded glass half full way of thinking, like a little hope would be nice...
@@bepoo8267 seems like someones mad that they did fail
Im 2 minutes in and im already jealous😭😭 but its ok i know you worked real damn hard for it :)) congrats on harvard btw hehe
Even if I dont know you, I am really proud of you!!!!!!! Best wishes from Germany🍀
Danke!!!!
I came across this video after your reaction video, this was entertaining to watch, and definitely helpful! Of course, congratulations getting into Harvard and other prestigious schools! No doubt your achievements and perseverance to take all those classes paid off. I'm sure this video will inspire others as it has inspired me, you're a role model for many
Awwww thank you!!! That means a lot to me. I'm so glad I could be of help to some of y'all🥲💗
she's literally the definition of a perfect human being
i mean if the world came down onlky to academics sure igg?
Should look up Jonny Kim. Decorated Navy Seal, Harvard Med Grad and NASA astronaut
Hi! I'm so happy for your achievements, even if I don't know you!
You really are a hardworking and very intelligent person, besides, you're gorgeous, so I really feel like giving you a little advice:
Take really good care of yourself during college. Classes will get really tough, and sometimes the best seems not enough, but don't give up. Also, please, take care if you go to parties, you have a bright future ahead of you.
Sincerely, someone who's about to finish her college years.
yayyy! i’m so glad youtube gave me the notif ive been waiting on this one! congrats!
Damnnnnn. Yeah you definitely deserved to get into Harvard. Honestly, Bravo!
Honestly I’m so impressed that first of all you knew of dual enrollment classes at such an early age and that you even had the option to take them. I looked for more classes to take but because the school system where I go to is so rigid, I never had the option. Even then, I probably wouldn’t have even known!
So I guess this leads me to, how did you learn about all these opportunities? I’ve had to figure out a lot on my own, and it’s been a bit frustrating after realizing that I could’ve done more
Congrats!! All of your research projects sound very intriguing!
Wow, just so amazing. You have such a bright future. Best of luck in college! 💫
Congratulations ! You deserve everything , Helen
Wow. What an incredible young lady. You are AMAZING. Enjoy college...i know people like you are the ones finding new innovations and technologies that are saving lives and making a difference. Congrats
I am truly astonished, you seem to be some kind of miracle blessing your family. Wish you all the best.
You can so tell in this video that she's so happy! Good for you girl you deserve it. :))
You are such a hard worker!!!
I love how your ECs are something community based and doable. I see so many ivy league students with international awards and recognition that I never thought I could do. You are so inspirational
Wow you are super aspirational and sweet!!! This honestly encouraged me to explore different extracurriculars and classes by seeing how dedicated and passionate you are! :D
ahhh congrats! we're the same age and you're so inspirational and deserving :)
Helen you are just amazing, i just automatically clicked that subscribe button!
You’re an inspiration! I hope my daughter grows up to be as confident as you.
Seeing the smile on your face and how sucessfull you are makes me want to work more!
I applied as a biomedical engineer too! Cant wait to meet you and have classes in the fall :)
YAY! Can't wait to meet you soon :)
Girl you are a genius! You deserve everything you have! You will make this world a better place
You're simply amazing!
Never knew someone this brilliant ♥️
Congratulations!! I know that at my high-school, we are not allowed to take core classes over the summer, only certain electives. I guess it depends on the state requirements. So happy for you!! I am definitely trying to learn as much as I can before I apply for colleges.
Hey Helen!! You are soooo hardworking and honest!! Your Stats are incredible!! And that make up is absolutely 💯 stunning! Also, you look a little like Ariana with that Ponytail!!
All the best Helen!!
OH MY GHAAD How can someone be this perfect I'm crying right now ✨✨
It is quite impressive how you juggle with so many things in such a short period of time...amazing...My daughter skipped two grades in her elementary school years. Your performance relieved our worries that she may not catch up or looks too young to take any leadership role at the age of 15 before she apply for colleges...
I want to say first I am proud how much you put into your education and so happy you follow your dreams and didn't do what everyone else was doing in high school you follow your dreams whatever god has planed for you in your future you are going be awesome at it wishing you the very best at harvard and follow your dreams
I waited for this a long time.😍😍
Yayyy, it's finally out 😜
Gosh you definitely worked hard! Way to go!
Congrats and glad you chose Harvard; hope to see you on campus in the fall! I also did medical imaging research haha
How did u come up with topics of medical imaging research? I want to do research related to that but i dont even know where to start looking.
I’m from the UK and you inspire me so much!!!
You are very inspiring! as a high school student I thank you for your channel!
Congratulations!!! You're an inspiration!
im so proud of you that you got into all those schools! tysm for showing your stats, i really appreciate it. i wanna be as smart as you when i go to college
Obviously the other colleges didn't accept you because you may demoralize almost all other students having such incredible high stats and extracurricular activities and graduating high school in 3 years instead of 4. Probably you may graduate from Harvard in 2 years or at most 3 years. If you can continue academically like this you will be very famous in your academic area soon. As a medical professor I didn't come across any hyper-talented high-school student like you. Congratulations
some schools tend to refuse people with great stats because they know these students uses them as "safety schools" and that they will get accepted in better school like ivies, if they accept them it makes there admission rates go up which will make them less competitive and less attractive to other students.

Ooo! Ok
I was going to try to post something funny, but about halfway through your video I couldn't type from crying. What's worse is that I can only cry in English, not French, German, and Chinese... AT AN INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED LEVEL! (Hell, you can probably cry in differential equations too) Helen, next time put a disclaimer for people like me who are jealous of beauty and brains that they'll never attain... Totally ruined my day! Not cool 😤 (I don't mean it Boss; you're actually so inspirational, like, wtf 🥺)
There is actually nothing that you can't attain. Hard work pays off. She may be blessed with some intelligence but that couldn't be the only reason that she has all of this so she probably worked hard for it. So work hard and u will achieve whatever you want!. Languages are so interesting and beautiful. Find a language that you seem to be interested in and u will not find it hard to learn it and it would be fun! And keep in mind that nothing is hard if you work hard for it. And as for the beauty i am so sure that you are so pretty/handsome because noone is actually ugly its just the judgemental society that we are living in. (sorry if i made any mistakes english is my 3rd language). Goodluck
@@heyitsisraaa9375 ooh english is your 3rd language? what other languages do you speak?
Today I was confident with my academics because I’ve had all As and an A-, have taken 7 ap classes, and plan to take 5 more next year. I watched this abs now I’m like guess I’m not getting into Harvard 🤡
@@aurora-cc6hkin my country English is 3rd language too ! First language is Arabic , second is french and we study it since 3rd grade in elementary school and third English , also there are so many people who can speak Italian and Spanish as fourth language
@@gamergirlmaddy7471 no you'll prob get in if those a's u typed were a+'s. Even if not, if u have good ec's, decent standardized test scores, and an outstanding college essay, you'll prob be picked
My son admitted to MIT,Harvard,Caltech and Princeton.Class ranking:1/685.
Congratulations! He is exceptional 🙌🏾
Bro, I need advice from your son
Congratulations!!!
I fear your son.
son reveal
Congratsss girll🥳
I admire that you did everything with passion.
WOW Very impressed your GRADES! YOU are amazing!!!! Keep with the CZcams and IG!!!
It's really cool that your school has classes over the summer. I see you didn't waste that opportunity at all. Good luck at Harvard! =)
just got here from your college decision video you motivate me sm!!
You are such a smart and beautiful young woman! All the best in your university studies.
I haven’t seen many “well-rounded” students on CZcams. What’s impressive is you do a lot, but go really deep into what you do.
Congrats! could you maybe make a video on time management and how you were able to plan out your school nights and summers?
Yes, I would also highly appreciate a video like that!
The level of classes you took through school was incredible! It was thought provoking, however, to think that the amount of classes you took was out of the ordinary. At my high school, everyone took 7-8 classes a semester regardless of their level, and then had dual enrollment beyond that where applicable. Is a higher class load not the norm across other public high schools? I feel I would have been much more attentive and would have absorbed more if I wasn’t doing essays, homework, projects etc. for so many classes each day!
Simple! Get 100 in everything, including A.P. classes, be ranked at top of your class, top scores SAT. Seriously, though: This chick is a Unicorn. Brains and Beauty.
you are amazing!!!
congrats Helen!! Maybe I'll see you in boston 😊
First of all congratulations 👏 🙌 👌....... you are talented and your beautiful, omg you deserve everything 💗 .....
Hi, Helen! I find your face really beautiful. You look angelic. Congratulations on your offers! Good luck!
Thank you so much give so much tips and how to get to harvard. Thank you all of this .🙏🏻📖😍
Hii I’m a new subscriber and I wanted to congratulate you on getting into Harvard my dream school, along with brown! I know I’m late but you really deserve it !!!
Highschool in Romania-》 9th grade to 12th grade! These are the numbers of subjects studied in each grade:
9th grade = 16 subjects;
10th grade = 18 subjects;
11th grade = 14 subjects;
12th grade = 15 subjects!
These were all mandatory and pre-selected by the Gov. We cannot choose any of them! In order to graduate highschool you must pass the Baccalaureate test. Based on my highschool profile I had to pass a romanian language test as well as an oral exam, english oral exam, sports ( gymnastic, basketball, 50 m sprint,long jump), psycology and geography. =》 Highschool diploma!
wow
Can you make a video about your time management? I'm amazed you accomplished all this within a span of a few years!
Congratulations!!
Love this video! Could you make a video about how you got into research during high school? I am really interested but I am not sure how to go about it
congratsss :) i was wondering if you could upload a video about how you managed your time and studied for all those different courses?
I’m going to apply for Medicine + Biomed engineering in December in my country through using my portfolio and stats. One thing I notice is you are really capable and impressive through your leadership and dedication in anything you want to do. Btw, I am still amazed by your research. It’s interesting!
HOW... YOU'RE GRADES ARE EXCEPTIONAL
Congrats!! I don't think you'd need luck :p Anyways, this video was really inspiring :)) Love from India ❤
Could you do a video on how you studied/how many hours you studied, which type of study methods you used etc.? I’d really appreciate it 🤍
You're so so soooo talented, you deserve it. Keep going:) greetings from Germany
not gonna lie i would love to know how your parents met! sounds so interesting
True
It was amazing. Thanku so much for helping.
WHAT THE HELL!!! We have similar stats and ecs and the fact that you got into Harvard is giving me so much hope rn 😭🙏
Girl you’re intelligent and beautiful and an amazing person, and I wish you so much happiness and abundance in your academic career 🥳
how did u think of the research topics to do? I'm so lost and ik that research looks really good for colleges but i dont even know where to start!
@@xinyi9118 Hi! Are there any topics or a subject area that you're slightly interested in? If you can think of something or even brainstorm by finding interesting articles online, then that could be a good starting point. After doing a lot of background research, try to narrow down on a more specific scope for your project. It'll take some time for everything to come together, but you can then determine any tools/skills you need in order to actually complete the research proj. Hope this helps...
@@kiaraha3041 yea that def helps a lot, thanks!:)
I would reccomend a varsity sport with these ecs of you can
You are so beautiful and talented!
Hello!! My mom and I were watching your college reaction videos and we were soooo happy for you!! Congrats 🎉👏!! I just wanted to ask a question if you don't mind. Did you have an interview (during your admission)? If they did, can you tell me some general questions to expect, I would be really happy if you can reply
So proud of you....
I also want to major in biomedical engineering
Wow just wow! Amazig you will go leaps and bounds!
"holy shit" is probably all that I can say after watching this incredible vid. Just a big wow!
you deserve harvard and more girl !!!
Very impressive !! You have a very good time management skills to handle all that workload lol
Congratulations on getting into Harvard and many others. Can you talk a little bit about your common app essay? My son is a senior now and needs some pointers on what topic to write for his essay. Thank you!
What is the distinguishing factor is that the earlier you know what you want to do in life, higher are your chances that you will make it
I did the same thing! My middle school had the option to take pre-ap classes which were highschool credits. I was already a grade ahead because I started school a year early so i start my senior year of HS at 15 years old and I will graduate at 16. Ill be 17 a few months into my first semester at college which is really scary but im happy to see someone else with the same story!
How are you so smart 😭😭 can you please make a vid on how to study, you’re amazing!! Also do you mind sharing the awards you submitted
Wow seriously I have always wanted to reach ivy league schools but from your stats it makes me feel like theres no way I will lol, I have a unweighted 4.0 GPA and Im part of student gov and tons of AP classes but I only have a single parent who refuses to give me rides or support me in anything so participating in extra curricular is EXTREMELY challenging for me. Is there any advice you could give me?
you can have hobbies at home dont need to go somewhere i think you can take parts in online events or things like that
Have you explained your motivation
Do extra curriculars online volunteering
Man I wish I could do classes like you. I went to a private middle school, so no highschool classes during middle school, and then got into my schools magnet program which doesn’t allow me to do dual enrollment, hopefully I can do some classes during summer though
Wow dude wow💛
Congratulations again! Will you post your Harvard move-in, arrival, etc? It'll be here before you know it ... time to start dorm shopping, LOL.
pls make a study video !! would love to see how you study so i can be as productive and successful as u
You’re such a influence to me
+ I’m studying my hardest cause I want to get into Harvard as well;)
I want to be you when I grow up. I am older than you.
😂😂😂
im no longer in college. you are goals. how are you able to do ALL these? i look back at my younger days and i regret not doing my best. partially i had unsupportive parents. your blessed for having supportive parents. anyway, can you do a day in the life. thanks.
Making me wish I skipped junior year but it's fine. I'll just do more dual enrollment and start grad school early.
congrats!! please do a video about how you dual enrolled and an overview of the whole process. i’m about to max out on the summer credits i can receive and would love to get ahead but i don’t understand dual enrollment. thank you :)
Depends on the highschool and program.
