Ayan Sarma This is the case for some state / lower tier schools. For top tier schools like Stanford, financial aid is purely need based (and given to everyone on different levels, even middle - upper class students)
Hello everyone! I hope this video helped and gave you some insight into the real value of statistics. Hopefully it’s more informative than a “chance me” website haha. 🤩🌲 Love you and thank you for watching!💓
Unfortunately the Ivy Leagues are becoming more and more subjective in their admission process. That's a slippery slope to mediocrity, while their tuitions keeps going up.
Jasmine, I've been watching a few of your videos recently, and as a rising junior, you've given me so much hope about the entire college application process, especially being admitted into my dream university. Thank you soooo much, you have no idea how appreciative I am for finding your videos & channel
Hey Jasmine...I’m a fellow member of the class of 2022 and I serendipitously stumbled upon this video and your channel! I wish you all the best in the incredible journey we’re about to start and hope to one day meet you. You seem very kind and down to earth and just awesome...just to let you know, I’m going to be in Roble :D -Victoria
This video was so helpful, I’m in freshman year and would really like to go to Stanford and am very stressed about it, this made me feel like it is possible thank you!
Hey Jasmine I’m going to stanford too! I’m a senior right now (I got into Stanford early because I’m an athlete). I love finding these videos! It’s so awesome that you’re helping other students! Good luck this year and see ya next year! Go Card!
Okay so I got 1480 on the SAT and I'm retaking it in March (school is paying), and I get my ACT score tonight (feeling a 32-33). I'm considering writing my essay about my CZcams channel b/c it's a genuine passion of mine and I've been running it since middle school. I'm also Class Prez (my class size is like 600, and this is like political leadership ig?) so do you think that is good to be competitive @ Stanford? I love the school so much and I really want to go.
@@mackenziemoreno5284 the ACT official prep pack and 10 practice tests from mcgrawhill. Also did some online practice tests (cuz the test is on the computer now)
Stanford is my dream school but hearing that only 4% of people get in and I’m worried I’m not ‘unique’ enough and that scares me ;( Thank you for this video though! This was really helpful to me ❤️
Congrats on getting into Stanford! I am a junior who just got my SAT score back (a 1410) and my GPA is about 4.1 (weighted) and 3.4 (unweighted). I just took ACT and hoping for 33+. I took SAT II Us history only got 600 (so I will not send that). Do you think these stats would be worthy for my dream school NYU?
Thank you! I believe your SAT score is on the higher end of the middle 50% for NYU's typical incoming class stats. You are definitely at the level you need to be to compete with other applicants. However, scores are not what will admit you. Showcasing your passions, drive, and goals in your ESSAYS are what are most important in admissions for top universities. Now that you have acceptable stats, work really hard on the rest of your application (the important part!)
Thank you so much for your response! I will definitely work hard on the rest of my application once fall 2019 hits (just need to keep up the GPA and think about what to write for my common app essay). I am told the essays are what makes or breaks you so I will have to write a good essay.
I go to NYU and my sat was 1360 but my gpa was 3.7 unweighted I think to be honest you have higher chances if you're part of the lgbtq+ community since it feels like that's 70% of the school lol... even if they won't admit that they favor that lol but if not that's fine, just an observation I've made that may or may not help Just try to showcase your passions in the essays and hope you get in!! Good luck! :)
Gursutej Singh You should absolutely take an act practice test as you might do much better! My highest sat practice test was 1330, but my highest act practice test thus far was a 32(which would comparatively be anywhere from a 1450 to 1480), so you should try it if you can
I’m currently a sophomore in high school and plan on taking around 16 AP classes in school. However, I plan on majoring in computer science and there are only two AP computer classes at my school. That’s why I dual enroll and take college level computer classes online, so by the end of high school I’ll have around 42 combined AP and college classes. (I’ve been taking three in the spring, three in the fall, four in the summer). I’m also a swimmer on top of this, and I aim to have an Olympic trials cut by junior year, since I wanna get recruited for swimming. My dream school is Stanford... so do you have any other tips on how I could get in?
TuthSquad, I think you’re already set... I would probably take more classes or extracurriculars centered around computer sciences. Also, how do you manage your time?!
Carlos Alcantar I get out of school two periods early since I take online classes in place of it... currently taking English and Latin 3 online and I’m almost done with both. And I just get the work for my three college classes that I’m taking done on the weekends. So since I get out of school at around 1 I come home and just work on homework until I go to swim practice from 4-6 and finish everything up when I get home. I just try doing what I can in the free time that I have.
this kinda made me feel better about myself.. especially the part about how its harder to get super good grades at a competitive school. my school makes me wanna cry but im trying my best and still have a few B's here and there and it makes me so upset.. it legit just gets rid of all of my motivation
All you can do is your best! Keep pushing but make sure that you are still making time for the things you enjoy doing in life. Ultimately those are the most important - for college and for overall happiness (:
From all the decisions videos i watch I see how Standford looks more at people as individuals with different stories then just good stats and high scores
send any ap scores? Im sending my 34 with 35s on everything except a 31 on math. I took the sat once in april and got 1460 with 730 on both. I think i should just send act but the math on the sat is better than math on act... what possible majors did you choose on common application
Sam Deacon I didn’t send any official ap scores. I self reported the tests that I received 4s and 5s on. Your ACT is higher so I would send that if it were me. You could also consider taking it again, but also, I don’t think a 31 is a bad score for the math section. A 34 composite is great. I chose Bioengineering as my possible major for the Stanford application.
Jasmine Rodriguez thanks for the reply, i dont have time to retake the act as the early application is due in like two weeks 😅. I think my score is good enough where its not gonna be a real deciding factor in admission, just focusing on essays now
@@JasmineRodriguez I applied but forgot to send in my ap scores and the 7 ap tests I planned to take. I called admissions and they told me to just send them an email.Im REA. Do you think this will affect my admission chances? I also applied with a 1480 but I got a 1570 on the november 3rd sat and I set those official scores in. Will admissions only focus on my 1480? Or will they get my 1570 in time to use that?
Hi Jasmine! I will be applying to Stanford as a transfer, and I plan on taking the SAT during the summer. As a full time college student, I don't have much time to study for the SAT during the school year. Do you think I will be well prepared if I studied for 2-3 weeks right before taking the test? Thank you for making such helpful and inspiring content! :)
If I were you I would try and take it again since your subject scores are so high and you could probably improve. If not, never count yourself out just because of scores. Everything else is way more important.
Dyl-pickle34 I think it would be equivalent to around a 31-32. I am not for sure though. I would look up some converters online to get a more accurate answer!
Hello Jas! I know I’m a bit late, but how many am classes did you take throughout your high school year or can you reveal your high school class transcript!?
What do you recommend I do to make up for a low GPA? I have a 1500 SAT and (800,770) Math 2, Physics subject test scores (international) but I feel my GPA will really pull me down.
A 23 is good! She is only saying a 33 isn’t too high because this is a video about a college that literally only like the top .5% of students even have a chance of getting into. No need to beat yourself up about not being able to keep up with the top kids, keep working to improve yourself on a personal level and you will do very well.
Hey, I scored a 1510 on Sat and I'm really confused about my ED. Im looking for some advice cuz my O lev grades aren't that great. They're still in the top 5% of my class tho. Like should I apply for ED to an ivy league still? Or go for a liberal arts college?
Subhan Abbas I wouldn’t apply ED anywhere unless you absolutely want to go there - being that ED schools BIND you to the decision if you are admitted early. As a general for where to apply, I would still go for some top schools while making sure you have some middle tier and safety schools on your list that you would be happy at if you aren’t admitted to a top tier school.
@@JasmineRodriguez as for a schools that I absolutely want to go to I just want to go to Cornell but am sick of people saying that it might be difficult so that's where the confusion is coming from.
Cornell does not have an Early Action program. They only have an Early Decision program. If you 100% only want to go to Cornell, then you could apply early. If you get in however, you have to be okay with not applying to any other schools. As for school that have an Early Action program (like Stanford) you are only allowed to pick one to apply to early. So you can either apply to Cornell early or pick one Early Action school to apply to early (Stanford or another non binding Ivy) and then apply to Cornell regular decision. Cornell is difficult to get into regular or early, as all top tier schools are really competitive.
I took the sat and got a 1530 but my gpas really low because I wasn’t really the best student the first 2 years in high school. I want to change that this year (I’m a junior) and I took hard courses and I currently have straight As. I have also been writing a cook book and many other things that are extra that I have an interest in. Do you think it’s still possible to have a chance at any competitive school? I love your vids :)
I'm an international applying this year, I got 690/800 on the October test, and I don't know if I should take the test again this December or not. Is 690 good enough?
Natalie Muradyan What test was this? SAT? If so, a 1490 is an okay score. It’s kind of up to you. You want to try and shoot for 1500+ but you’re pretty close. Your score would be on the slightly lower end of the average, which is still enough to be competitive, and up to you if it’s sufficient.
@@JasmineRodriguez Yes, it was the SAT. I just don't know what to do, some people say I should take it again, and the others say it doesn't matter that much. I also took a TOEFL test and got 107. I thought that maybe this would be enough. What do you think?
@@nataliemuradyan4855 I'm not really familiar with that test. For the SAT, it really depends on where you're applying and where you really want to go. If it was me in your situation, I would take it again but that is only because my personal goal was 1520+. I think your score is fine and honestly being admitted is more about all of the other aspects of your application anyway.
@@JasmineRodriguez Thank you very much😊 I just don't want to spend so much money on a single test, and I also was wondering if the composite score matters, because my composite score is 1490 and this is in the range of composite scores.
Hey I have an 1160 superscore for the SAT, a 4.0 weighted GPA and I’m ranked 36 out of 140 students. I took three subject tests last Saturday for Biology E, World History and Literature. Do you believe I could get into a prestigious school like UPenn with my stats or not?
You need to work on your SAT a little more, and then I think you will have a good shot! What I recommend is doing the college board book practice tests in a quiet place, and then checking your answers. Find the patterns in what you got wrong so that you can identify what you need to work on. My score went up from a 1240 to 1530, so I think you can do it too! Good luck.
Hi, I’m taking the SAT in December and one thing I’m confused about is sending scores. College Board gives you the option to send your score to 4 colleges, and I’m wondering if I should do this or not. I ask because you said you only gave them your ACT score. How did you decide which college you would send your SAT score to if any?
I can get 8+ gpa on a 10 scale by the time I finish my senior year. It's like 3.0 something on a 4 scale. I want to go for masters in CS. So if I get 330+ in gre , and make good projects and write good SOP , do you think I can make it into a good college if not Stanford, or will my avg GPA let me down? I would love your advice, thanks!
Thank you so much for this. So I'm an American citizen but I ended moving across the globe. Lately, I've been feeling as if I'm not good enough and I've been worrying so much that I've lost my game in a sense. I've become much harder on myself. Okay, I still do everything I usually do but still I'm just overthinking I guess. It was very nice to hear you say that I shouldn't really worry THAT much about my grades in highschool. I'm going to try to remind myself to just go with it and just trust the process. I'll just do what I do and let's see what happens.
Nanar Joulhayan As long as you work super hard, do your best, show improvement, and strive for A’s - that’s all the admissions can ask for. You can do it!
What year did you get them in? Stanford doesn't look at freshman grades so if you got the majority of them in that year then you should be fine. A few B's won't make them reject you as long as they see improvement.
Hi! I know stats don’t determine if you get into Stanford but do you think a lowish gpa will completely discount an applicant even if their sat is in Stanford’s range? I have a 3.8 weighted (every class I took so far has been weighted). It would be higher but I studied abroad for my junior year in Germany so i couldn’t improve my gpa by taking higher class...do you think they’ll take that into account?
Sarah Jacobs Nothing discounts an applicant! Applicants are reviewed holistically. For you, studying abroad may have been more valuable for you as a student than taking a few more high level classes, which they will appreciate. I was in a dance ensemble in high school, so I was unable to take another AP class during my last 2 years of high school. I was ranked 7 in my class, where as if I hadn’t done a dance ensemble I may have been higher. Keep in mind though, that I was still among the top students in my class. If something you do that you’re passionate about sets you back in terms of GPA it’s not a big deal at all, unless it takes you out of the top student pool in your school, which could be a red flag.
I have a question, do you think the act is harder then the sat? And nice video, cause I have really high test scores, and I use to thought that scores matter until recently, maybe like 6 or 5 months ago, but now I’m certain.
The Villain Personally, I think the level of difficulty is pretty similar. I think the ACT is a little harder. Scores matter in the sense that they need to meet a certain standard, but after they are in the middle 50%, it’s everything else that matters more.
Do i have to take both Sat and Act or just one of them..........am not planing to take act (i dont want to)what do you recommend. ... do u think it decrease my chances of getting in if i take only sat
Rahel Aruse It will not decrease your chances at all. I recommend taking both if you have the means too, and then deciding which to focus on for studying based on which one you’re better at. If you have already decided one test is not for you, just focus on the other one. It’s a waste of time to try and do well on both. The only benefit of doing both is to figure out which one you personally are better at.
Hey Jasmin, so I am out of sophomore year with 3.58 (unweighted). I plan on improving it to a 3.8 or so...do you think I have a shot at stanford or is it completely out of my league?
AshaJcKamala K Everhone has a shot! No one thing will count you out. Applications are reviewed holistically, so all other parts of your application are just as or more important than your GPA.
Hi! As far as gpa goes, I’m currently a junior and just started the year. Last year however, my gpa was a 3.5 as I didn’t work hard enough and doubled up on math. If I were to get a 4.0 my junior year, my cumulative would be at about a 3.7 and if I continuously improve my grades up until senior year, do you think selective schools would take note of that ? My extracurriculars are pretty good and I’ve devoted a lot of time to them and I’m currently prepping for the sat. Thank you !
@@participant6292 I ended up getting into a competitive liberal arts college (I think top 12 at the time I applied) so it worked out pretty well. I'm currently a junior here. Work hard and have faith!
I'm an international junior in high school I perfect GPA and I rank 2/162 and I want to study Film and media at Stanford but I am very overwhelmed by all application requirements and I have some questions : Do I get a higher chance of getting in if I major in film & media? and is it worth it for me to even apply to Stanford because it is harder for international students to get in ? and also what other top schools I might get in ?
I’m not in college but I’ve researched a lot about colleges and I think I can answer these questions. 1. Yes, majoring in a less popular major increases your odds of getting in. A less popular major doesn’t have much competition between students rather than say a computer science major. Colleges are looking to fill roles so this gives you upside. 2. I think you should still shoot for it. Watch supertutortv’s explanation on why international students don’t get in frequently. It will help you determine whether or not colleges may decrease your odds of getting in. 3. If you believe you have a chance at Stanford you can get into any college. College admissions is really by chance and what they’re looking for in a student. If you think you can make it into Stanford, shoot for other school too because you never know what their looking for.
About rank, did people above or below you get into top schools that you did not or top schools in general? My classmates are great people and I feel that schools don't accept people from the same school, which brings me to my second question, did people from your school get accepted to same high level schools such as a Stanford or a Northwestern. Lastly being a fellow Texan were you ever afraid of not getting into major of choice at UT-Austin. I'm in the top 7% rule, but I heard major isn't guaranteed. Did you and most of your classmates get into major of choice?
Nobody above or below me was accepted into a top school except for my valedictorian, who currently attends Harvard. It is true that top schools don’t accept a lot from a certain school. They like to have people from all different types of schools and regions. Depending on the competitiveness of the high school, a top school may accept more if there are a lot of strong applicants. But, you want to be the best applicant out of everyone at your school who is shooting for the same schools as you to give yourself the best shot.
Phillip Tran For UT, it is true that you are not guaranteed your major even if you are an auto-admit. The majority of my friends did not receive their first choice major who were auto-admits since they chose very competitive STEM majors. Any engineering major will be very competitive. Biology/humanities majors have more spots available. For me personally, I applied to BME (only about 100 spots available). Personally, I was confident that I had a good shot because I had graduate level biomedical research experience - something that I did not think a lot of applicants would have. I felt that I had an edge that would help get me in, but your first choice major is definitely not guaranteed, auto-admit or not, so put your full effort into your app even if you are an auto-admit!
Phillip Tran Just remembered that one girl above me (#3) got into Northwestern, but it was as a music major. No one else besides her, the Harvard girl and myself were admitted to top schools that I am aware of.
@@JasmineRodriguez Thanks for answering:) To be completely honest I'm kind of having an emotional breakdown, so if you have the time and energy here it goes...(I need an honest and sincere opinion) So this is it (don't judge grammar I'm writing this quickly): My college counselor told me during our first meeting that I shouldn't even try applying to any top schools (like Stanford) as I got horrible grades through 9-11 grade (multiple F's, D's, C's and B's). I was struggling with my life and with situations at home (serious ones that I'm not going to elaborate about but just trust me here). In other words, I could not and did not want to put any effort into school or education as it was the only thing that I could still control about my life. Now, I truly believe that not caring about school or the grades I obtained was my own personal defense mechanism against everything happening. Again, I'm not going to go in detail about anything specifically as I don't want the whole internet to know everything about my private life. ANYWAYS, at the end of my 11th school year, I had a sudden revelation and decided to turn my life around completely. I became a different person who was literally begging her director for months to let her take the IB program (most challenging courses my high school offers) and thus stay an extra year and redo my 11th year. After what seemed ages of constant discussions they finally let me do it. This year, putting my heart and soul into my education I noticed the radical difference and it might not be great for you but for me, a student who was constantly on the verge of failing, I could not believe my eyes. I got straight A's and B's and only one B- (in math sorry I really can't deal with that subject ....but it was an improvement from previous F's). It's now the second semester and I now have straight A's and only one B (still in math lol). I was now a passionate student about education who demonstrated ongoing improvement. You can imagine how I felt when my college counselor told me I had no chances due to my previous grades. But, I told her that I refused to believe in this kind of mentality and that schools such as Stanford would surely not disqualify someone completely due to their grades and past! I truly believe that they would be holistic about their admissions. To this, she replied: "that's the American mentality, seriously, do not even try it's going to be NO". So here I am, dreaming about going to Stanford but realizing that she might be right. You really don't understand how much I had to sweat my ass off to become who I am; I don't care what people say, it's easier for someone who has always had perfect grades to maintain them as they know what teachers and the system asks of them than for students who never tried to get the same grades. So when my college counselor told me this, I wanted to cry my eyes out in the meeting but I knew better. It was one of the hardest moments of my life. This is why I'm commenting this as I want real opinions from people who have succeeded. So please do give me your honest opinion... Also, I did not talk about my SAT grades or the extracurricular's that I do outside of school... (I'm taking the SAT this summer and I have my own website where I publish my own poetry but also encourage other students to write their own poetry which I also publish, then there is also my blog where I write about anything and everything (reflects my personality TBH), I'm also currently writing a novel and finally I am a passionate weightlifter). I really hope that I do still have my chances. Maybe I was not and still am not the "model" student that top schools expect and YES my grades were really HORRIBLE.... BUT the world needs people who were beaten down to the ground but who found the will in them to stand back up to defy the world. The world doesn't need perfection but determination and action. thnx for reading this far. Your (or anyones really) answer could change my life (quite literally).
@@daisyschall1939 your admission is prolly done but with ur determination to turn ur grades around, i can guarantee you will be successful in life no matter where you go to college. good for u girl, hope ur doing well :)
Hi Jas, I've watched a couple of your vids and I have a dilemma to make. I got accepted into Cornell Engineering early decision as computer science major. My Sat is 1470, Math II was 800 and gpa is 4.3 weighted. However, I don't think I can afford tuition at Cornell even with their financial aid they've given me and I need to make a decision soon (within a couple of weeks) whether to accept or relinquish the offer. I also applied to Stanford, Berkeley and UCLA on regular decision. If I accept Cornell's offer, then I must cancel the applications to these 3 schools. I know Stanford has a good financial aid offer. Should I take my chances and relinquish Cornell's offer?
Dustin Ngo That’s a tough decision! I would make sure you have other options besides Stanford, Berkeley and UCLA should you decide to drop your Cornell admission since those are difficult schools to get into and Berkeley and UCLA do not offer much financial aid for out of state students.
if i took two years of spanish in high school (one more class over the summer) and reached spanish 4, is that ok? because i read that stanford wants 3 years of language and i wasnt sure how to interpret that
I’m taking my final SAT in December. It’s sorta frowned upon to take it a 4th time but I know my score I just got in October isn’t an accurate portrayal of me lol. (I know scores don’t mean everything, but I have a gut feeling that I’m in the 1540 range, but I just make silly mistakes)
karan parihar Take lots of TIMED practice tests to try and eliminate those mistakes! That should help you to do your best and showcase what you’re capable of.
Hii! I need some advice. 660 - English 790 - Math (1450 total in SAT) I've a 4.5cgpa in school. As for ECAs I only have programming, but I've been doing it since 2012 and I've also worked with a few companies and also made many personal projects. So with these stats should I even bother applying to Stanford?
You should definitely still apply! I would try and expand your horizons and maybe join some organizations that broaden your interests. A ton of people coming to Stanford have a lot of programming experience, but they have a lot more than that too! I would also suggest studying more to try and get a 1500+ and maybe waiting to apply to Stanford regular decision to ensure that your application is at its best.
I'm back! So my latest results just came out. My SAT superscore is 1480 (R&W 690, Math 790). My high school CGPA is at 4.63. The ECAs are the same as before. What about now? Should I apply to Stanford?
I have a full SAT 35 ACT and a 4.0(unweighted) I won the state science fair in 10th grade and did speech and debate and robotics. I was a jv quarterback for my school team. I early actioned stanford and so far im waitlisted. Do you think i'll get in.
Dennis Schröder I haven’t read your essays or know fully the scope of your app so I don’t think I’m in the best position to make a statement. But I wish you the best of luck!
Halle Brianna Heyyy! Yes I remember! If you ever need anything or have questions about Stanford / college DM me on insta and I can give you my #! My insta is jasmine.rodriguez_ - Hope everything is going well!
I'm in my freshman year rn, and take no AP classes but I take honors. Will that look bad on a stanford application? I feel so anxious that I wont get into a top college bc in my freshman year I didn't take AP classes hhh
Nikole Riera No - I lot of people don’t take APs freshman year. It’s only the first year so don’t stress! Just take as many as you are able to in the future. Junior/Senior year are most important to colleges.
Nikole Riera No need to stress! You are only a freshman! Just focus on making the most of your high school experience, spending your time doing things that make you happy, and working hard in school the best you can!
Sakshi Bardiya You have to take either the ACT or SAT. Which one you take it up to you. Some people choose to take both to have options, but only one is necessary. Most schools do not have a preference for one or the other.
I have winter break rn idk about you but my SAT tutor told me to make a plan and stick to it. Wake up at 7:30 AM, eat breakfast, and take a full test during school breaks. The college board book is a very helpful resource and you can go to reddit to do the most recent SATs
Sishter Pigmented I would retake it if I were you but that’s just my personal opinion. Don’t retake it if you don’t want to study. I made the mistake of retaking my SAT without studying, and I did significantly lower.
MoneyBTW The advantage to applying early is knowing earlier, though the applicant pool can be more competitive. You want to apply when your application is strongest - so it’s really just up to you!
Jasmine: Are your stats GOOD ENOUGH for STANFORD?
me: well apparently not lol...
It is so stupid how one standardized test score (the PSAT/NMSQT) can literally save you tens of thousands of dollars for college.
Ayan Sarma This is the case for some state / lower tier schools. For top tier schools like Stanford, financial aid is purely need based (and given to everyone on different levels, even middle - upper class students)

I really want to get into Stanford and these vids really help
Ava Brown same!!
Me too
Me too but I’m in 7th grade
Same!! But I’m in 9th grade 💀💀
Ayusha Subba same tho. Plan early?
If these schools prefer leaders.... welp that’s it for me rip
Can we reach 1,500 subscribers with no videos? Join key club
Lol same. Gotta cram some leadership shit XD
Unfortunately the Ivy Leagues are becoming more and more subjective in their admission process. That's a slippery slope to mediocrity, while their tuitions keeps going up.

Hey Jasmine I’m going to stanford too! I’m a senior right now (I got into Stanford early because I’m an athlete). I love finding these videos! It’s so awesome that you’re helping other students! Good luck this year and see ya next year! Go Card!
Jules Danielle Thank you!! I’m so excited I can’t wait to start school
You got accepted?
Tyler Williams yup! I applied early July and got accepted in early August
Jules Danielle Can’t wait to see you around next year! I realized I never asked, but what sport were you recruited for?
@@julesdanielle1854 I have to ask. Did you have a lot of extracurriculars? Or just a few but pretty good ones?
Okay so I got 1480 on the SAT and I'm retaking it in March (school is paying), and I get my ACT score tonight (feeling a 32-33). I'm considering writing my essay about my CZcams channel b/c it's a genuine passion of mine and I've been running it since middle school. I'm also Class Prez (my class size is like 600, and this is like political leadership ig?) so do you think that is good to be competitive @ Stanford? I love the school so much and I really want to go.
Check out bit.ly/3aW1yVF to talk to expert college advisors from Harvard, Yale, Stanford and other top tier schools!
This is my dream school. I took the ACT on Sept. 8th. I really hope for a 32+.
CHRISTI XX Best of luck to you!
I took it that date too. The math section was harder than expected. Got 34 composite score (my first ACT) though so I'm all set!
Jolly Holly Nice job!
Jolly Holly how did you study? Bc I’m taking the late October one
@@mackenziemoreno5284 the ACT official prep pack and 10 practice tests from mcgrawhill. Also did some online practice tests (cuz the test is on the computer now)
Stanford is my dream school but hearing that only 4% of people get in and I’m worried I’m not ‘unique’ enough and that scares me ;( Thank you for this video though! This was really helpful to me ❤️
you have talk about what really set you apart from everyone else
I talk about it a lot in my video about my activities!
Congrats on getting into Stanford! I am a junior who just got my SAT score back (a 1410) and my GPA is about 4.1 (weighted) and 3.4 (unweighted). I just took ACT and hoping for 33+. I took SAT II Us history only got 600 (so I will not send that). Do you think these stats would be worthy for my dream school NYU?
Thank you! I believe your SAT score is on the higher end of the middle 50% for NYU's typical incoming class stats. You are definitely at the level you need to be to compete with other applicants. However, scores are not what will admit you. Showcasing your passions, drive, and goals in your ESSAYS are what are most important in admissions for top universities. Now that you have acceptable stats, work really hard on the rest of your application (the important part!)
Thank you so much for your response! I will definitely work hard on the rest of my application once fall 2019 hits (just need to keep up the GPA and think about what to write for my common app essay). I am told the essays are what makes or breaks you so I will have to write a good essay.
I go to NYU and my sat was 1360 but my gpa was 3.7 unweighted
I think to be honest you have higher chances if you're part of the lgbtq+ community since it feels like that's 70% of the school lol... even if they won't admit that they favor that lol but if not that's fine, just an observation I've made that may or may not help
Just try to showcase your passions in the essays and hope you get in!! Good luck! :)
also showcase what makes you special in your essays, NYU is all about diversity and if you showcase your uniqueness I think you have a good chance!
Ok! I'll try to showcase my uniqueness somehow through my essays. Hopefully I get in! We'll see in the fall of 2019 (not a senior yet)!
Out of 5 tests I've taken, i got 1330 highest. Bye bye ivy league dreams
Gursutej Singh
You should absolutely take an act practice test as you might do much better! My highest sat practice test was 1330, but my highest act practice test thus far was a 32(which would comparatively be anywhere from a 1450 to 1480), so you should try it if you can
I’m still applying with that score. My friend got in with a 1280 and a 31 on the ACT
I’m currently a sophomore in high school and plan on taking around 16 AP classes in school. However, I plan on majoring in computer science and there are only two AP computer classes at my school. That’s why I dual enroll and take college level computer classes online, so by the end of high school I’ll have around 42 combined AP and college classes. (I’ve been taking three in the spring, three in the fall, four in the summer). I’m also a swimmer on top of this, and I aim to have an Olympic trials cut by junior year, since I wanna get recruited for swimming. My dream school is Stanford... so do you have any other tips on how I could get in?
TuthSquad, I think you’re already set... I would probably take more classes or extracurriculars centered around computer sciences. Also, how do you manage your time?!
Carlos Alcantar I get out of school two periods early since I take online classes in place of it... currently taking English and Latin 3 online and I’m almost done with both. And I just get the work for my three college classes that I’m taking done on the weekends. So since I get out of school at around 1 I come home and just work on homework until I go to swim practice from 4-6 and finish everything up when I get home. I just try doing what I can in the free time that I have.
holy fuck... will you even be alive to attend college..?
Do extracurriculars that pertain to computer science, that shows a passion that top colleges look for
I can’t tell if this is a joke
this kinda made me feel better about myself.. especially the part about how its harder to get super good grades at a competitive school. my school makes me wanna cry but im trying my best and still have a few B's here and there and it makes me so upset.. it legit just gets rid of all of my motivation
All you can do is your best! Keep pushing but make sure that you are still making time for the things you enjoy doing in life. Ultimately those are the most important - for college and for overall happiness (:
Did you send in both your SAT and ACT scores?
Yasmeen Medhat No, just ACT because it was slightly higher!
Jasmine Rodriguez a 33 is the same as a 1480
From all the decisions videos i watch I see how Standford looks more at people as individuals with different stories then just good stats and high scores
omgg please make a collab with the kath path!! i love both of your videoos
That would be awesome.
I’m in 8th grade and Stanford has been my dream school for YEARS!! What do I need to do to prep??
send any ap scores? Im sending my 34 with 35s on everything except a 31 on math. I took the sat once in april and got 1460 with 730 on both. I think i should just send act but the math on the sat is better than math on act... what possible majors did you choose on common application
Sam Deacon I didn’t send any official ap scores. I self reported the tests that I received 4s and 5s on. Your ACT is higher so I would send that if it were me. You could also consider taking it again, but also, I don’t think a 31 is a bad score for the math section. A 34 composite is great. I chose Bioengineering as my possible major for the Stanford application.
Jasmine Rodriguez thanks for the reply, i dont have time to retake the act as the early application is due in like two weeks 😅. I think my score is good enough where its not gonna be a real deciding factor in admission, just focusing on essays now
@@JasmineRodriguez I applied but forgot to send in my ap scores and the 7 ap tests I planned to take. I called admissions and they told me to just send them an email.Im REA. Do you think this will affect my admission chances? I also applied with a 1480 but I got a 1570 on the november 3rd sat and I set those official scores in. Will admissions only focus on my 1480? Or will they get my 1570 in time to use that?
Nvm they got my sat scores processed
Hi Jasmine! I will be applying to Stanford as a transfer, and I plan on taking the SAT during the summer. As a full time college student, I don't have much time to study for the SAT during the school year. Do you think I will be well prepared if I studied for 2-3 weeks right before taking the test? Thank you for making such helpful and inspiring content! :)
I have a 1420 sat (640 r+w, 780 math) and 800 Math 2, 800 physics and 740 world history. Should I even bother applying ti Ivies or Stanford?
If I were you I would try and take it again since your subject scores are so high and you could probably improve. If not, never count yourself out just because of scores. Everything else is way more important.
What do you think a 1450 on the SAT is equivalent to on the ACT
Dyl-pickle34 I think it would be equivalent to around a 31-32. I am not for sure though. I would look up some converters online to get a more accurate answer!
Hello Jas! I know I’m a bit late, but how many am classes did you take throughout your high school year or can you reveal your high school class transcript!?
dgedfe fawfdg I took 13 AP classes throughout high school!
What do you recommend I do to make up for a low GPA? I have a 1500 SAT and (800,770) Math 2, Physics subject test scores (international) but I feel my GPA will really pull me down.
Sis says a 33 isn’t high while I’m over here getting a 23🙃
F
A 23 is good! She is only saying a 33 isn’t too high because this is a video about a college that literally only like the top .5% of students even have a chance of getting into. No need to beat yourself up about not being able to keep up with the top kids, keep working to improve yourself on a personal level and you will do very well.
Hey, I scored a 1510 on Sat and I'm really confused about my ED. Im looking for some advice cuz my O lev grades aren't that great. They're still in the top 5% of my class tho. Like should I apply for ED to an ivy league still? Or go for a liberal arts college?
Subhan Abbas I wouldn’t apply ED anywhere unless you absolutely want to go there - being that ED schools BIND you to the decision if you are admitted early. As a general for where to apply, I would still go for some top schools while making sure you have some middle tier and safety schools on your list that you would be happy at if you aren’t admitted to a top tier school.
@@JasmineRodriguez so should I go for Early Action to the schools I wanna apply to?
@@JasmineRodriguez as for a schools that I absolutely want to go to I just want to go to Cornell but am sick of people saying that it might be difficult so that's where the confusion is coming from.
Cornell does not have an Early Action program. They only have an Early Decision program. If you 100% only want to go to Cornell, then you could apply early. If you get in however, you have to be okay with not applying to any other schools. As for school that have an Early Action program (like Stanford) you are only allowed to pick one to apply to early. So you can either apply to Cornell early or pick one Early Action school to apply to early (Stanford or another non binding Ivy) and then apply to Cornell regular decision. Cornell is difficult to get into regular or early, as all top tier schools are really competitive.
I took the sat and got a 1530 but my gpas really low because I wasn’t really the best student the first 2 years in high school. I want to change that this year (I’m a junior) and I took hard courses and I currently have straight As. I have also been writing a cook book and many other things that are extra that I have an interest in. Do you think it’s still possible to have a chance at any competitive school? I love your vids :)
Zohan Nias Everhone has a chance! Work hard and do what you can, and then apply and see what happens! Never count yourself out.
My weighted Gpa is a 4.5 rank 5 buttt my test scores are😬
I'm an international applying this year, I got 690/800 on the October test, and I don't know if I should take the test again this December or not. Is 690 good enough?
Natalie Muradyan What test was this? SAT? If so, a 1490 is an okay score. It’s kind of up to you. You want to try and shoot for 1500+ but you’re pretty close. Your score would be on the slightly lower end of the average, which is still enough to be competitive, and up to you if it’s sufficient.
@@JasmineRodriguez Yes, it was the SAT. I just don't know what to do, some people say I should take it again, and the others say it doesn't matter that much. I also took a TOEFL test and got 107. I thought that maybe this would be enough. What do you think?
@@nataliemuradyan4855 I'm not really familiar with that test. For the SAT, it really depends on where you're applying and where you really want to go. If it was me in your situation, I would take it again but that is only because my personal goal was 1520+. I think your score is fine and honestly being admitted is more about all of the other aspects of your application anyway.
@@JasmineRodriguez Thank you very much😊 I just don't want to spend so much money on a single test, and I also was wondering if the composite score matters, because my composite score is 1490 and this is in the range of composite scores.
Hey I have an 1160 superscore for the SAT, a 4.0 weighted GPA and I’m ranked 36 out of 140 students. I took three subject tests last Saturday for Biology E, World History and Literature. Do you believe I could get into a prestigious school like UPenn with my stats or not?
You need to work on your SAT a little more, and then I think you will have a good shot! What I recommend is doing the college board book practice tests in a quiet place, and then checking your answers. Find the patterns in what you got wrong so that you can identify what you need to work on. My score went up from a 1240 to 1530, so I think you can do it too! Good luck.
Ha Americans, here in Canada we don't have an SAT.
But we also don't have very competitive colleges.
OLADAPO BRO brudda
Hi, I’m taking the SAT in December and one thing I’m confused about is sending scores. College Board gives you the option to send your score to 4 colleges, and I’m wondering if I should do this or not. I ask because you said you only gave them your ACT score. How did you decide which college you would send your SAT score to if any?
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME THE NAME OF THE INTRO MUSIC??!!!
Check the description at the bottom!
I just wrote a psat so let’s see if I can even do well in that
My son has a 33 ACT...1420 SAT. He would fall in that middle as you said...
I can get 8+ gpa on a 10 scale by the time I finish my senior year. It's like 3.0 something on a 4 scale. I want to go for masters in CS. So if I get 330+ in gre , and make good projects and write good SOP , do you think I can make it into a good college if not Stanford, or will my avg GPA let me down? I would love your advice, thanks!
Thank you so much for this. So I'm an American citizen but I ended moving across the globe. Lately, I've been feeling as if I'm not good enough and I've been worrying so much that I've lost my game in a sense. I've become much harder on myself. Okay, I still do everything I usually do but still I'm just overthinking I guess. It was very nice to hear you say that I shouldn't really worry THAT much about my grades in highschool. I'm going to try to remind myself to just go with it and just trust the process. I'll just do what I do and let's see what happens.
Nanar Joulhayan As long as you work super hard, do your best, show improvement, and strive for A’s - that’s all the admissions can ask for. You can do it!
@@JasmineRodriguez Thank you so much! Much appreciated!
hi!! i want to apply to stanford but i’ve actually gotten 5 Bs in high school :/ do i still have a chance?
What year did you get them in? Stanford doesn't look at freshman grades so if you got the majority of them in that year then you should be fine. A few B's won't make them reject you as long as they see improvement.
Hi! I know stats don’t determine if you get into Stanford but do you think a lowish gpa will completely discount an applicant even if their sat is in Stanford’s
range? I have a 3.8 weighted (every class I took so far has been weighted). It would be higher but I studied abroad for my junior year in Germany so i couldn’t improve my gpa by taking higher class...do you think they’ll take that into account?
Sarah Jacobs Nothing discounts an applicant! Applicants are reviewed holistically. For you, studying abroad may have been more valuable for you as a student than taking a few more high level classes, which they will appreciate. I was in a dance ensemble in high school, so I was unable to take another AP class during my last 2 years of high school. I was ranked 7 in my class, where as if I hadn’t done a dance ensemble I may have been higher. Keep in mind though, that I was still among the top students in my class. If something you do that you’re passionate about sets you back in terms of GPA it’s not a big deal at all, unless it takes you out of the top student pool in your school, which could be a red flag.
I have a question, do you think the act is harder then the sat? And nice video, cause I have really high test scores, and I use to thought that scores matter until recently, maybe like 6 or 5 months ago, but now I’m certain.
The Villain Personally, I think the level of difficulty is pretty similar. I think the ACT is a little harder. Scores matter in the sense that they need to meet a certain standard, but after they are in the middle 50%, it’s everything else that matters more.
Do i have to take both Sat and Act or just one of them..........am not planing to take act (i dont want to)what do you recommend. ... do u think it decrease my chances of getting in if i take only sat
Rahel Aruse It will not decrease your chances at all. I recommend taking both if you have the means too, and then deciding which to focus on for studying based on which one you’re better at. If you have already decided one test is not for you, just focus on the other one. It’s a waste of time to try and do well on both. The only benefit of doing both is to figure out which one you personally are better at.
Hey Jasmin, so I am out of sophomore year with 3.58 (unweighted). I plan on improving it to a 3.8 or so...do you think I have a shot at stanford or is it completely out of my league?
AshaJcKamala K Everhone has a shot! No one thing will count you out. Applications are reviewed holistically, so all other parts of your application are just as or more important than your GPA.
I feel like I've become enlightened
Hi! As far as gpa goes, I’m currently a junior and just started the year. Last year however, my gpa was a 3.5 as I didn’t work hard enough and doubled up on math. If I were to get a 4.0 my junior year, my cumulative would be at about a 3.7 and if I continuously improve my grades up until senior year, do you think selective schools would take note of that ? My extracurriculars are pretty good and I’ve devoted a lot of time to them and I’m currently prepping for the sat. Thank you !
How’d it work out?
@@participant6292 I ended up getting into a competitive liberal arts college (I think top 12 at the time I applied) so it worked out pretty well. I'm currently a junior here. Work hard and have faith!
OMG YOU WENT TO BOOKER T???! SO DID I.. But i dropped out to focus on my academics. lol. what cluster were you in?
Noah !! Dance !
I'm an international junior in high school I perfect GPA and I rank 2/162 and I want to study Film and media at Stanford but I am very overwhelmed by all application requirements and I have some questions :
Do I get a higher chance of getting in if I major in film & media?
and is it worth it for me to even apply to Stanford because it is harder for international students to get in ?
and also what other top schools I might get in ?
I’m not in college but I’ve researched a lot about colleges and I think I can answer these questions.
1. Yes, majoring in a less popular major increases your odds of getting in. A less popular major doesn’t have much competition between students rather than say a computer science major. Colleges are looking to fill roles so this gives you upside.
2. I think you should still shoot for it. Watch supertutortv’s explanation on why international students don’t get in frequently. It will help you determine whether or not colleges may decrease your odds of getting in.
3. If you believe you have a chance at Stanford you can get into any college. College admissions is really by chance and what they’re looking for in a student. If you think you can make it into Stanford, shoot for other school too because you never know what their looking for.
About rank, did people above or below you get into top schools that you did not or top schools in general? My classmates are great people and I feel that schools don't accept people from the same school, which brings me to my second question, did people from your school get accepted to same high level schools such as a Stanford or a Northwestern. Lastly being a fellow Texan were you ever afraid of not getting into major of choice at UT-Austin. I'm in the top 7% rule, but I heard major isn't guaranteed. Did you and most of your classmates get into major of choice?
Nobody above or below me was accepted into a top school except for my valedictorian, who currently attends Harvard. It is true that top schools don’t accept a lot from a certain school. They like to have people from all different types of schools and regions. Depending on the competitiveness of the high school, a top school may accept more if there are a lot of strong applicants. But, you want to be the best applicant out of everyone at your school who is shooting for the same schools as you to give yourself the best shot.
Phillip Tran For UT, it is true that you are not guaranteed your major even if you are an auto-admit. The majority of my friends did not receive their first choice major who were auto-admits since they chose very competitive STEM majors. Any engineering major will be very competitive. Biology/humanities majors have more spots available. For me personally, I applied to BME (only about 100 spots available). Personally, I was confident that I had a good shot because I had graduate level biomedical research experience - something that I did not think a lot of applicants would have. I felt that I had an edge that would help get me in, but your first choice major is definitely not guaranteed, auto-admit or not, so put your full effort into your app even if you are an auto-admit!
Phillip Tran Just remembered that one girl above me (#3) got into Northwestern, but it was as a music major. No one else besides her, the Harvard girl and myself were admitted to top schools that I am aware of.
THIS WAS SO HELPFUL
Do u have to take act while applying to Stanford??
you can take either
do you know if they care from grades prior to junior year?? (like if you got D's before but then turned your life around..?)
Daisy Schall Yes - they see grades from all 4 years! Improvement is better than the opposite, but you have to send your entire transcript either way.
@@JasmineRodriguez Thanks for answering:) To be completely honest I'm kind of having an emotional breakdown, so if you have the time and energy here it goes...(I need an honest and sincere opinion)
So this is it (don't judge grammar I'm writing this quickly): My college counselor told me during our first meeting that I shouldn't even try applying to any top schools (like Stanford) as I got horrible grades through 9-11 grade (multiple F's, D's, C's and B's). I was struggling with my life and with situations at home (serious ones that I'm not going to elaborate about but just trust me here). In other words, I could not and did not want to put any effort into school or education as it was the only thing that I could still control about my life. Now, I truly believe that not caring about school or the grades I obtained was my own personal defense mechanism against everything happening. Again, I'm not going to go in detail about anything specifically as I don't want the whole internet to know everything about my private life.
ANYWAYS, at the end of my 11th school year, I had a sudden revelation and decided to turn my life around completely. I became a different person who was literally begging her director for months to let her take the IB program (most challenging courses my high school offers) and thus stay an extra year and redo my 11th year. After what seemed ages of constant discussions they finally let me do it.
This year, putting my heart and soul into my education I noticed the radical difference and it might not be great for you but for me, a student who was constantly on the verge of failing, I could not believe my eyes. I got straight A's and B's and only one B- (in math sorry I really can't deal with that subject ....but it was an improvement from previous F's).
It's now the second semester and I now have straight A's and only one B (still in math lol). I was now a passionate student about education who demonstrated ongoing improvement.
You can imagine how I felt when my college counselor told me I had no chances due to my previous grades. But, I told her that I refused to believe in this kind of mentality and that schools such as Stanford would surely not disqualify someone completely due to their grades and past! I truly believe that they would be holistic about their admissions. To this, she replied: "that's the American mentality, seriously, do not even try it's going to be NO".
So here I am, dreaming about going to Stanford but realizing that she might be right. You really don't understand how much I had to sweat my ass off to become who I am; I don't care what people say, it's easier for someone who has always had perfect grades to maintain them as they know what teachers and the system asks of them than for students who never tried to get the same grades. So when my college counselor told me this, I wanted to cry my eyes out in the meeting but I knew better. It was one of the hardest moments of my life. This is why I'm commenting this as I want real opinions from people who have succeeded.
So please do give me your honest opinion...
Also, I did not talk about my SAT grades or the extracurricular's that I do outside of school... (I'm taking the SAT this summer and I have my own website where I publish my own poetry but also encourage other students to write their own poetry which I also publish, then there is also my blog where I write about anything and everything (reflects my personality TBH), I'm also currently writing a novel and finally I am a passionate weightlifter).
I really hope that I do still have my chances. Maybe I was not and still am not the "model" student that top schools expect and YES my grades were really HORRIBLE.... BUT the world needs people who were beaten down to the ground but who found the will in them to stand back up to defy the world. The world doesn't need perfection but determination and action.
thnx for reading this far. Your (or anyones really) answer could change my life (quite literally).
@@daisyschall1939 your admission is prolly done but with ur determination to turn ur grades around, i can guarantee you will be successful in life no matter where you go to college. good for u girl, hope ur doing well :)
Hi Jas, I've watched a couple of your vids and I have a dilemma to make. I got accepted into Cornell Engineering early decision as computer science major. My Sat is 1470, Math II was 800 and gpa is 4.3 weighted. However, I don't think I can afford tuition at Cornell even with their financial aid they've given me and I need to make a decision soon (within a couple of weeks) whether to accept or relinquish the offer. I also applied to Stanford, Berkeley and UCLA on regular decision. If I accept Cornell's offer, then I must cancel the applications to these 3 schools. I know Stanford has a good financial aid offer. Should I take my chances and relinquish Cornell's offer?
Dustin Ngo That’s a tough decision! I would make sure you have other options besides Stanford, Berkeley and UCLA should you decide to drop your Cornell admission since those are difficult schools to get into and Berkeley and UCLA do not offer much financial aid for out of state students.
updates?
Is it necessary to take both SAT and ACT?
I got a 1480 in SAT and I got myself registered again. Now I am reconsidering my choice...
if i took two years of spanish in high school (one more class over the summer) and reached spanish 4, is that ok? because i read that stanford wants 3 years of language and i wasnt sure how to interpret that
I’m taking my final SAT in December. It’s sorta frowned upon to take it a 4th time but I know my score I just got in October isn’t an accurate portrayal of me lol. (I know scores don’t mean everything, but I have a gut feeling that I’m in the 1540 range, but I just make silly mistakes)
karan parihar Take lots of TIMED practice tests to try and eliminate those mistakes! That should help you to do your best and showcase what you’re capable of.
Jasmine Rodriguez we Stan a Sister Stanford scholar
Hii! I need some advice.
660 - English
790 - Math
(1450 total in SAT)
I've a 4.5cgpa in school.
As for ECAs I only have programming, but I've been doing it since 2012 and I've also worked with a few companies and also made many personal projects.
So with these stats should I even bother applying to Stanford?
You should definitely still apply! I would try and expand your horizons and maybe join some organizations that broaden your interests. A ton of people coming to Stanford have a lot of programming experience, but they have a lot more than that too! I would also suggest studying more to try and get a 1500+ and maybe waiting to apply to Stanford regular decision to ensure that your application is at its best.
That was the plan..
I actually gave my SAT again last Saturday. But oh boy, i messed up big time. :(
@@JasmineRodriguez but okay! I'll keep trying. Thanks for the quick feedback! :D best of luck
I'm back!
So my latest results just came out.
My SAT superscore is 1480 (R&W 690, Math 790).
My high school CGPA is at 4.63.
The ECAs are the same as before.
What about now? Should I apply to Stanford?
I feel like it's probably asking for a lot but..Is it possible for you to maybe read my essays?..
Hope they had the same door for every race because many students get GPA of 4.5 or above; however, they are not accepted because...
I think it’s just because they didn’t have any extracurricular activities or weren’t “ active” enough in their community
Thank you sm!!
Of course! I’m so glad you liked it!
Thank you so much for the help! I think it would be really cool if we could talk more about Stanford so I dm’d you :)
I have a full SAT 35 ACT and a 4.0(unweighted) I won the state science fair in 10th grade and did speech and debate and robotics. I was a jv quarterback for my school team. I early actioned stanford and so far im waitlisted. Do you think i'll get in.
Dennis Schröder I haven’t read your essays or know fully the scope of your app so I don’t think I’m in the best position to make a statement. But I wish you the best of luck!
Dennis Schröder hey did you ever end up getting in?
Omg! We used to dance together! I’m hoping to go to Stanford once I graduate in 2020!
Halle Brianna Heyyy! Yes I remember! If you ever need anything or have questions about Stanford / college DM me on insta and I can give you my #! My insta is jasmine.rodriguez_ - Hope everything is going well!
I'm in my freshman year rn, and take no AP classes but I take honors. Will that look bad on a stanford application? I feel so anxious that I wont get into a top college bc in my freshman year I didn't take AP classes hhh
Nikole Riera No - I lot of people don’t take APs freshman year. It’s only the first year so don’t stress! Just take as many as you are able to in the future. Junior/Senior year are most important to colleges.
@@JasmineRodriguez Thank you so much for informing me, I was getting stressed!
Nikole Riera No need to stress! You are only a freshman! Just focus on making the most of your high school experience, spending your time doing things that make you happy, and working hard in school the best you can!
JASMINE!!!!! LOL Did you submit all of your SAT scores? or just ur highest?
Is ACT necessary for applying to Stanford?
Sakshi Bardiya You have to take either the ACT or SAT. Which one you take it up to you. Some people choose to take both to have options, but only one is necessary. Most schools do not have a preference for one or the other.
What’s a good way to study for the sat I’m a junior and I’m taking it on June 1st
I have winter break rn idk about you but my SAT tutor told me to make a plan and stick to it. Wake up at 7:30 AM, eat breakfast, and take a full test during school breaks. The college board book is a very helpful resource and you can go to reddit to do the most recent SATs
Marisha Toa I’m thinking of hiring a tutor
My UW gpa is a 3.826 and my uw rank is 42/372...
any applicants for REA 2025?
I just can’t make it. Testing isn’t my forte.
Trust me I’m not even close to going to college yet I’m watching this..
I have 31 ACT should I not even bother retaking?
Sishter Pigmented I would retake it if I were you but that’s just my personal opinion. Don’t retake it if you don’t want to study. I made the mistake of retaking my SAT without studying, and I did significantly lower.
Yes. Please take it again. My first score was a 31. I took it again a few months later and got a 35. So yes, take it again
Is applying late or early better?
MoneyBTW The advantage to applying early is knowing earlier, though the applicant pool can be more competitive. You want to apply when your application is strongest - so it’s really just up to you!
