  • Harvard was playing games. I got some confusing messages with college admissions, they kept me guessing on whether I was really accepted right up until the end... promised this story a while ago and here it is!

    I had such a similar experience with getting into Yale, I went to a public high school where no one even applied to ivies, and I was basically completely set on going to the University of Michigan. I just applied to Yale for the fun of it(and also was super motivated by your videos!), and was completely blindsided when I got in (we also got the nice hand-written notes). Now that I go to Yale, I love it, but I definitely have gone through a lot of culture shock. It would be dope if you did a video about the weirdness/elitism of Harvard and ivy league culture

      Ahsante the Artist hey Ahsante, I’m positive it wasn’t always easy for you. As a Harvard graduate well-prepared for this world, your growth shows everyone else the benefits of hard work. Sure, you may be easily stressed. But your team wouldn’t have you any other way!! You make reaching life goals, possible. ❤️

    Woah, that is SUCH a crazy college acceptance story! Do you feel like you ultimately made the right choice (going to Harvard and not Howard)?

    • @AhsanteB
      @AhsanteB  Před 3 lety +11

      I do! I will say I didn't love my day-to-day college experience there, and Howard definitely would have been more fun, but having the Harvard degree has paid off in the long run.

    "I check the mailbox, and there's a _large_ envelope, _from_ Harvard, _with_ my name on it."
    By "large," do you mean "thick?" Because I have to say, a _thick_ envelope is usually a good sign. No college sends a thick package to tell you you've been declined.

    Imagining working hard your whole life to get good grades and a high gpa only to have an Ivy League to pick not really based on your grades and gpa but more so on extracurricular activities, talk about slap in the face at your hard work, it’s like their choosing you for your personality and not work put in, idk id feel kinda salty and probably wouldn’t wanna attend, I feel like Ivy League schools are more about prestige and bragging rights than anything else I don’t think it’s really worth the cost unless your certain it will really pay off in the career your going into after graduation

    • @boom-or2nf
      @boom-or2nf Před 2 lety +4

      I think you're missing the point, MOST students at Harvard and those that received acceptance DO have the grades and GPA, that's an expectation. Going beyond school and applying yourself outside of grades is a major deciding factor in college admissions and that's why they care for extracurriculars so much.

  • @lazyperfectionist1
    @lazyperfectionist1 Před 5 lety +2

    "Okay. So it didn't exactly happen like that."
    I would definitely not think so. I can't picture people, in real life, behaving so cartoonishly.
