Kate Li Wheaton College is like 5 minutes from my house... hearing you talk about it feels so weird.
Adblocker goes brrr
Aww don't worry we won't 💙💙💙
Congratulations🎉
Congrats Kate! Have a blast in college!
*doesnt get in Harvard*. Her dad-“ congratulations”
Applying to Harvard is something to be congratulated for lmao the process is so hard (for all of the top colleges)
*************************************
@@aniaelizalde2968 bruh I'm young so pls don't judge. But why is it so hard 🤣
@@ValentinaOrtega28 I think because it comes under the top colleges, as well as !any students apply so it becomes very hectic and difficult to apply.. if that makes sense....
@@ValentinaOrtega28 it’s tough because on top of the work that school gives you, there is the added work of applying to colleges. Many selective colleges require several essays that are unique to that school. If you apply to as many schools as she did, you would have to write like 15 essays in your free time.
I’ve realized that no one watches ones of these videos. If you watch one, you watch them all.
Oh god all the notifications from this comment made me fall down the rabbit hole again send help
Brody Penn omg trueee
onggg
Brody Penn hey! can you please check out my college decision reaction video!💖
there so motivational doe
omg literally me rn
Dad: where is the money?
Kate: nothing
Dad: no money?
😭❤️it really be like that
@@kkateli hanna is a meanie for mocking your money situ fr
@@jessicazhao9288 uh this might be just me but i don't think it was mocking, i think it was just a (kinda? not really eh) funny moment in the video. it was just the funny, simplistic way that he asked his questions (and i get it's bc his english isn't great, i have immigrant parents too and their english is his level/worse)...i don't think the focus was on the financial situation tho
eri139 I think they might be kates friends because she used her first name?
@@lpsoreoproductions1 i dont think so- its her surname
haha your dad asking about the scholarship money first thing after you got in is a MOOD
ALWAYS ahhaah
***For all you Senior levels going through the emotional roller-coaster that is 'college admissions***
I got rejected from my dream school back in 2012 when I was a Senior in High School. I accepted an offer from a different school that wasn't exactly my 'dream.' I felt distraught for a long time. But life has an uncanny way of placing you in moments you don't expect to be wonderful - but they're moments that end up changing your life. Here's what happened at the 'non-dream' school I ended up attending: I met the most life-long friends, I experienced things I never could have at my 'dream school', and I got into a very restricted access major for the field I wanted to study. The cherry on top was when I met a really nice boy during my first week of college. That boy and I got married 6 months ago. What does my life look like now, after NOT getting into my dream school?
I live in one of the most beautiful cities in America, I'm married to the love of my life, I have the best dog on the block, and I work in Marketing with Nike.
The moral of the story is that you are more than a piece of paper or collection of data. Your worth and potential cannot be summed up in a 500 word admission essay. You are more than the college you go to and more than the field you'll major in. College is what you make of it. And please believe me when I say that NO ONE cares where you went to college. Employers don't care how 'impressive' of a school it was. It's literally irrelevant to them. They care about you work ethic, your motivation, your skills, and your personality. So if you don't get into your dream school, that's okay. Because life has a funny way of putting you exactly where you needed to be.
Thank you so much for sharing!! Your story is so encouraging that when everything seems to fall apart, it’s actually falling together for the greater good. so happy for you!!❤️
This is the cutest story ever!!
i love this!!!
This is so relatable. I’m currently a freshmen at my “non-dream” university. Six months in and I already regretted calling it “non-dream”. HAHA
Thank you! this really helped me feel better
your mom has the SWEETEST smile ever she is so cute
second that
Honestly, I respect you a lot for talking about how money is an important factor in your decision. I feel that in a lot of these videos people don't address that issue! I know money is one of the biggest factors in my decision, so again it's nice to see someone addressing it.
Thea Eiland I felt the same way. While with Canadian universities it is very different I ended up staying close to home as it was more affordable but I still got the the dorm and residence life experiences. If I’d gone far away the other school I got accepted to was more expensive and while higher on my list it’s ranker lower in Canada and globally as a university. I couldn’t be happier here at ubc! But the USA university stress seems so awful to me best of luck to all the 2020 grads you deserve it in these hard times.
Money is the most important factor. After the top few schools it really doesn't matter which school you attend. It is better to graduate with $0 or just a small student loan from a school lets say ranked 100 in the country than to graduate with a $200k loan from a school ranked 50.
same and i’m limiting my choices to california schools since the tuition is cheaper in state
Me, scrolling to read comments while the ads play because SIS IS NOT GONNA STARVE AWAY @ COLLEGE
Lol, same. I'm just casually scrolling while the ad talks about Motley fool stocks...
Lol sameeeee
me: *wants to press skip ad button*
also me: *watches minute long masterclass ad so Kate can pay for college*
HAHA AWEE THANK YOU
Kate Li Always happy to see people from back home achieve greatness!!! Hawaii Represent 🤙🏽
@Emmaline Geldhof saaammeee
sameeeee
idk why I'm watching this, I'm literally Canadian but watching US acceptances are so entertaining
Lol I'm from Canada too and I like watching these for fun XD
Chanelllx I’m Canadian as well and their tuition fees literally give me a heart attack. Their tuition fees for one year is like 4 years for us.
Haha same I’m from Canada and already in university I guess this isolation thing is getting me to ultimate levels of CZcams watching.
I’m not even from the America’s, and I have been binge watching these
as if they’re like not right next to each other...
“I guess writing is good for you..because....aight imma stop talking”
*English teachers staring silently*
HAHAH
I’m in 8th grade why am I so obsessed with these
Amelie Potatoes Early planning is great!
Amelie Potatoes lol I’m in seven
Amelie Potatoes SAME OMG
Plan out your activities early!
Same but I’m just so anxious because I only have 4 years
you: “can we get a thumbnail?”
your mom: *puts up her thumb*
kate: dont skip the ads
also kate: *absolutely no ads*
Luz Gorostiaga
Kate: don’t skip the ads
Ads: I’m gonna be 3 minutes long and you can’t skip me
Luz Gorostiaga the second I like this comment I got an ad 😂😂😂
i got 6 ads lol
you saying 20000 is affordable
me: *laughs in german*
penpal.writer she said it was affordable Bc she got a 16,000 scholarship to that school
Julie Lewis it’s still expensive though. In Norway we get paid to go to college or university. 4K i alot.
Andrea Rennals a year but she got 16000 a year so she would only pay 4000 a year
Ingvild Sørum well not in America
penpal.writer I know!!! I thought tuition in Canada was bad being $6500/year 🥴
So sweet how you and your family are celebrating your scholarships, it’s so refreshing to see someone be so humble in their achievements. The fact that you’re so thoughtful of your parents’ financial situation makes me so much more happy for you !!!
i didn’t get into Harvard or Columbia. But I am going to Loyola with a full tuition scholarship, and I know it’s the perfect place for me. I hope no one is too disappointed; just know that you’ll end up where you’re supposed to!
hi! congrats! what scholarship did you get at Loyola?
OMG congrats! What is your major?
Oh my gosh congratulations!!!
Melissa Frances but you gon grind wherever you go
how did you get a full ride and what were your stats(gpa and sat)
When you’re mom “said congratulations for your courage!” That was so wholesome 🥺
seeing your parent’s concern about money breaks my heart because they just want what’s best for you. keep posting videos, we got you sis
i got rejected from my dream school ucla but your speech about the college not wanting u means that it just isn't the right fit meant a lot to me...helped me realize a lot and made me feel better :) congrats kate on all of your amazing achievements!!! u deserve it
Claire Isabella stats?
@@makenaholdaas i really hope you get in! it is good to have tunnel vision and aim for your dream college, however, i would highly suggest having a backup :) my second choice was uc irvine and i actually really love the campus almost as much as ucla. but here are my stats: 1450 SAT, 4 extracurriculars, probably more than 100 hrs of community service/volunteer work, 3.93 unweighted gpa, 7 AP classes, and i live in a state outside california :)
i didnt get in either!!
@@vickyt7445 rejected crew aha
Claire Isabella i love getting rejected from ucla and watching all these smart girls get in 😔
"No matter what. Congratulation for your courage." lol I love that line from your mom.
We must protect her dad at all costs!
Her mum has to be the sweetest person I have ever seen. She just has a smile on her face and is like you didn’t get it? ‘no problem’ :)
Am I the only one that didn’t get any ads?? I was waiting for them the whole video bc I saw how much u need the money and Ik college is rlly expensive :((
Same
I did but i acidently skip
I didnt get any aswell
CONGRATULATIONS KATE ✨💓 your parents are so cute too afahshjwis my parents said “ok” LMAO
"Their tuition is only 20 something thousand, so it's really really affordable" wtf where I'm from college tuition doesn't exist, you pay a registration fee of 4 grand and that's it, in America college is a whole money scam
Even a registration fee of 4 grand sounds crazy where I come from.
Colleges and universities in the USA range from state funded to Private universities . A lot of the colleges on this video are Private . There’s about 4000+ colleges in the USA to choose from ranging from state funded community colleges($50 a unit) to the more affordable state universities like the California State universities(as an example) that make it affordable for in-state residents
To go and still providing a great education, to the prestigious top private universities that’s extremely competitive to get in .
There’s A lot choices In this country to choose from.
yeh uk is 9k mine was cheaper
In finland we have totally free tuitions :)
@@calpoly123456 $50 a unit courses if they do exist would be extremely rare. Ohio is one of the most affordable states for college and the cheapest community College in the state is $130 a credit. Not to mention a 4 year public schools tuition would run atleast 10-20k in most of the country.
CONGRATS ON USC AND YOUR SCHOLARSHIP KATE!!!❤️❤️ I can see you THRIVING there (and anywhere you go tbh)😊
thank you Katie!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I hope we can meet sometime next year :))
it‘s so weird to see americans applying to university. i feel like for them it doesn’t matter what they study but in which university they do. here in Austria it’s way more about the major. The whole money thing is wild as well. i just got accepted i to my dream university and i pay 40€ per year
Well as an American I just want to say that i focus mainly on which college would be better for what i want to do.
what school do u go to?
I feel like the discuss for which colleges to study at is more for bragging rights than anything. Obviously some colleges will have more funding/better staff/more equipment than others which draws some students but the "name-brand" colleges is more for bragging rights than anything. As far as majors go, so many kids just don't have a plan for themselves later in life so they don't know what they want to major in. I feel like, though college is expensive in the states, sometimes it may be worth it since the states have some of the best colleges worldwide. Of course, maybe they should apply better budgeting to lower our tuitions xD.
Same, I'm always so surprised when I watch these videos! I'm from Germany and it's so different here as well
@@elixhah samee, bin jedes Mal so überrascht, denn hier eine Uni zu finden scheint viel einfacher zu sein
the way I just ran to my computer to watch this after getting the notif
AWE ILYY THANK YOU
LOL your dad is such a mood! my dad is literally like that, more concerned about how much money the school gave and pretty picky with what major I chose. "i got half scholarship." "no full?" 😂
and i love your positive mentality! i just finished my college decisions too, and i know from personal experience how easy it is to feel in a rut over every rejection, especially when others get into the schools you don't, but your mentality is definitely something i will learn from! :)
I got an ad for an Italian soap opera about a girl who falls in love with her professor and I still watched it for you
When you said “we were all blowing up the chat” I was like hold up do you mean USC chat? That’s why you looked familiar. Hello from the USC chat.
“My dad stayed up for this he is a tired boy” you and your parents have the sweetest relationship w each other
she’s like the older sister we all wanted
I love how her dad just said "wheres the money?" for boston university
when she said she was sick, I was like “ CORONA?” but then realized she filmed that in January.
covid has been around since december
zesty yeah I know that but that time COVID didn’t hit America yet I think idk
I love how positive she is about it , I don’t like watching videos where all they say is “I’m gonna be rejected” it’s soooo annoying
Tbh it’s pretty rare to see many students this thoughtful of their family’s financial situation. It really shines a light on how social and economic outcomes are so inequitable in America. Most students who get to go to college are lucky enough to not have to worry about this stuff. Congratulations to you for getting accepted to so many colleges and being so raw and humble in your achievements. I wish you and your family the best!
Untrue that most students who get into college don’t need to worry about paying for it. Some students in these types of videos are just irresponsibly and myopically oblivious to the costs (but their parents footing the bill or co-signing the loans are not). Or some students are cognizant of the costs but don’t want their videos to be a downer by bringing up the money issue. Just because the students don’t discuss the money issue doesn’t mean it’s not a big issue.
love how healthy ur mindset is about college !! u did so well and its always so exciting to see this beginning of the journey !! good luck in college !
okay but like why did i cry during this 🥺🥺 so proud of your accomplishments
i really love how supportive your parents are. their energy makes me happy :)
I loved when your mom said “Congratulations no matter what for your courage” ❤️ it was so sweet
I love seeing people who worked hard very hard to please their parents BUT PLEASE THEMSELVES also! Congrats for getting into colleges girl❤️
Congratulations on your hard work paying off!!! As a Bruin, I've absolutely LOVED my experience at UCLA, but I have friends who went to USC and the community there is amazing too. I would go with USC if I were you, because the quality of your education will be top notch and similar to UCLA, but you'll be paying much less. Good luck!
Thank you so much for your comment :) I’m actually out of state so usc is cheaper for me, like you said, so that’s great advice to think about! ❤️
Ani Mamikonyan hey! can you please check out my college decision reaction video!💖

I'm a junior at USC and I felt the exact same way about the IV's... schools like USC that are still very academically challenging but also so much fun were way more up my alley. You seem like you would be SUCH a perfect fit at SC it is literally the most amazing place ever!!! I literally almost cried when I saw you cry after getting in. I hope you make whatever decision is right for you but also... fight on ;)
Your mom: "no matter what, congratulations for your courage"
her parents are the sweetest and so supportive 🥺🥰
Congratulations on getting into Fordham with a full ride!! I’m a senior there right now and it was the best decision I ever made
your mom is sooo supportive 😭🤩 !
I love how supportive your parents are! So cute💕
I love how supportive your parents are :)
your family is so cute!! They seem so sweet
Congratulations Kate! Also, I'm glad I'm not the only one who has so many tabs in one browser :D

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I can tell you're a really dedicated and determined student.
Congratulations girl! This is the first video I’ve seen of your’s but I’m so glad you have options!! I watched the ads too heheh I know how it feels to want to save money for your parents that’s super nice of you :) you’ll succeed no matter where you end up
Thank you this means so much!! ❤️❤️
congrats kate!! i've been so excited for this video ahh
Your parents seem so sweet! Congratulations on getting in to so many amazing schools. Best wishes for the beginning of your first year of college! 💖🎉
When they did the thumbnail part that was so adorable omg
that was honestly cool, you still got into a pretty prestigious school even though it wasn't an ivy, keep up the good work
AYE i’m a senior rn too and I think I’m gonna end up at Northeastern, still deciding for sure tho. Congrats on your acceptances! You have a lot of great options
hi! congrats! can you check out my decisions reaction video please?
UR PARENTS ARE SO CUTE AW i loved all of their reactions
I love the positive vibes in this video so much ! Wishing you all the best in your uni life, God bless you and your family !
congrats!!! so proud of uuuu
I agree with what you said about not wanting to take someone’s spot at an ivy. I was fortunate enough to be accepted to my top choice, ucla. So i withdrew from the berkeley and northwestern’s waitlist to give others a chance. If you read this and are in my situation, please do the same.
your parents are so supportive. that’s so amazing !! you’re so beautiful and have such an illuminating vibe. i wish you the best of luck and also i’m a sophomore and i’ve been planning to do this video for so long ahaha. ps i didn’t skip the ads 💕
You’re parents are the sweetest people I have ever seen 🥺❤️
Good Job Kate!! I'm so proud of you! ❤️! Keep up the good work!
Thank you!!!
It’s currently 1 am where I’m from but AHHH CONGRATS KATE 🥳 I can totally see you as a USC gal and I hope next year that I can get in with the scholarship too ☺️ Fight on! ✌️
I feel so happy for her, her reactions are so precious
You are so adorable ! Your family is sooo supportive !! OMG ! Their smilessss, it just got me ^^
