    I cried when you said your whole life was going to change! Getting into Yale or Harvard is a dream of mine

    Stanford and the other universities that rejected you definitely missed out on such an amazing person. I love your personality! I hope you'll have an ever greater time on your senior year at Harvard.
    God bless!

    Your smiles are SUPER contagious. I couldn't help myself from grinning throughout the entire video. XD

    I got accepted to Harvard this year and I felt the exact same way you did -- the minute I realized I got in I felt like my whole world had changed. And that was also my first time crying tears of happiness. :P I was definitely nervous about putting myself out there to apply, but watching your videos made me feel like I had a chance (and they also helped debunk the 'Harvard students are no fun' stereotype. Though I found that out for myself anyway after meeting my classmates in the facebook group.)
    So I just wanted to thank you for making such funny, inspiring, entertaining videos. I watched them while I was applying and not only did they make the application process a lot more fun, they also helped me feel like I had a chance. Which, as I guess it turns out, I did. :) Have a great senior year!

    Hi, there. Thank you so much for sharing all of your Harvard experiences. I've been referencing your videos a lot over the past few days.

And happy Senior Year to you!!! 😉

    There are 3 ways to get into Harvard:
    - Be rich, like really, really rich.
    - Have really good connections, network, family name, fame.
    - Have good grades.
    Good grades is probably the least likely to get you into Harvard out of the three.

    Hey! I’m making the same decision this year and I was wondering what factors went into your decision. You said you chose within two hours and I’m over here, in agony since decisions came out. Thanks!

    Everyone has a similar story. My d wanted to go to Oxbridge from the age of 12. She chose Cam, but we did the whole gamut of applics in the US and Canada as well, applying only to "reach" schools. She was accepted to all but one. Then, she got this email from Girton College and we thought it was just some place that had seen her SAT scores and was contacting her - but no, it was a conditional offer from Cam (she was "pooled"), extending the stress until she got her BAC results in July, which had to be, like, upper 2%. Still, it was one of those holy-shit moments of basic life paths opening up. What is truly amazing is how these places live up to their reps. Incidentally, as the EU resident, Cambridge costs less than 1/3 what a US college would.

    I love your video! I'm Brazilian and I'd really like to go to Harvard. So, could you record more videos with some tips to be accepted? That would be great.
    Hugs!

    How did you know that your major should be economics? Have you know for a while? Or did Harvard (and college in general) help you figure out that economics was for you?

    Hi! I'm from Hungary (Middle Europe) and my biggest dream is to get into Harvard. Do you know anyone who went to Harvard from a foreign country? Sorry for my English, I know it's not so good yet.
