@@shashankswaraj3505 6
She speaks so confidently.
haha thx
right!!! her confident voice uplifts me so much and it makes me confident too
in a way
Ik I can’t even speak to my self like that😭
You are the only college youtuber who made me feel better not worse about myself🥺🥺 thanks iris
aw that's sooo good to hear (esp after that hateful Reddit thread, if you've seen it... big oof). I hope you can always draw inspo and motivation from these vids! Best of luck with all your endeavors
can we just appreciate how genuine this is 😊
I'm 13 and starting highschool next year and I'm rlly trying to get into the college process already ! I think a head start is gonna benefit my future self a lot. This account is already really helping me and my process
You're amazing, I'm proud of you for starting so early
absolutely no disrespect but everyone says that and stops after like a week
im starting in the middle of my 2nd year (14/15)
Get the best of your time, we trust you, it's from someone who lost two years of their high school, go for it! ❤
I have to say, even though you've been posting only for a few months, your videos are arguably the MOST helpful out there. You have sooooo many helpful videos. Thank you!
Of course! I love making these videos for you guys. Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to see!
Factssssssss! Iris deserves so many more subs. Iris also can you post some more SAT material, like reading and writing tips or must know formulas for msth
Why would anyone dislike she is giving amazing content that really helps students out. She is so encouraging and gives us soooooo many resources. I honestly think I may be able to get in my dream school because of her. She really inspired me. Loveee your channel
Your videos are the best ones out there. I cant thank you enough, your videos are very motivating and helpful.
I watched your video, and thinking that " The college you are attending is so lucky to have someone like you!!! " You are smart, passionate, well-organized, proactive etc. Thank you for sharing 'you '.
Thank you so much! Im 12 and ive been looking at college application videos for a year now so that I have a headstart on things when im actually in high school. Your videos are so helpful!
You're so motivating skdksk I've been so lazy this summer, and these videos are really hyping me up THANK YOU
That’s great!!! Go smash this summer
I can attest to how great the Cornell Precollege Summer Program is. And hard to think of any summer program more special.
Thanks so much! This video comes at the right time so I could schedule and enrich my summer🥰
I was hoping the timing would be right! Good luck this summer go kill it out there!
This video was very helpful for me cause I felt very lost as a high school student, thank you very much for helping❤️
Thank you so much! I appreciate you taking the time to make videos to give us helpful advice 👏
SHE'S MY FAV CZcamsR RN!!!!!
It's April in my junior year and I feel like I've wasted any summer opportunity i could possibly put towards my future. I keep hearing about these amazing programs at my dream schools that closed off applications in February, so I never had a chance to get in in the first place. Your advice about passion projects has really given me motivation, because I can pursue STEM interests even if I can't attend an official program.
YOU WENT TO TAIWAN?! OMG AS A TAIWANESE IM PROUD!! i hope u liked the experience there :) i’m an taiwanese student who goes to an international school in taiwan and i find ur videos rly helpful! thank u sm for this
You’re videos are so helpful! Thanks Iris :)
Glad you’re finding value from them!
Great advice! Passion projects and networking will take you far if you just get a head start :)
This was really great information as someone who want to get into a niche area(architecture) it’s kinda hard to find out what extracurriculars or what things I can do during the summer this was a nice push in the right direction✌🏾😊
That’s great! Glad the video helped
I'm so glad I found this channel - this girl is going places
ahh thanks Anna! Welcome :)
This is amazing! With COVID-19 canceling my research program, I found something online!
That’s great!! So happy for you
This is so enlightening, thanks alot
Hey Iris! I loved watching this video and I am excited to enroll in some of the programs you mentioned!! :) The only question I have is would you able to explain how we can show that we did these things on our college applications? Stuff like where do we write them, how do we write them, etc. Thank you!!

Ya I feel like I think tooooo much about colleges. The funny part is I really do not care too much about college; however, I feel like outside people influence me a lot and I get anxious.
Hello! My name is Murilo and I am Brazilian. This video helped si much! I just want to say thank you and wish the best for you!
This is so helpful! Thanks!
Hi your videos are so helpful! Thank you 🫶
thank you for this video!!
Omg you are so inspiring! I would love to hear more about what you did in your passion project and what the purpose of it was, can you make a video on how you started your own passion project and what it was about, the purpose, etc.? I love your youtube channel btw! Congrats on Stanford! :D
Also, what are some good programs I should apply to as a freshman in highschool?
Thanks for the idea! Would you be interested in the purpose, process, and impact? maybe difficulties we ran into along the way? let me know any other aspects you'd like to hear!
you can apply to almost everything i mentioned in the video and linked in the description as a freshman. Tbh, I'd apply to a wide range of things as a freshman, just to see what I can get. MITx is also a great program that I got rejected from :/ but for a lot of these, if you apply for a second time, you may get a leg up. Plus, you'd have more experience with the app and that'd help you do better in the apps process as well. Hope this helps!
@@irisfu6929 Thank you so much! I'd love to hear some obstacles you faced trying to start your own passion project and how you got past them and a few tips on how to start a passion project of your own. I'll consider applying to those programs, thanks for the advice! :D
Hi Iris! I loved this video, it was super helpful! Would you be able to talk more about your experience taking online classes at OSU, and specifically your experience taking Intro to International Relations? I am very interesting in pursuing International Relations or Political Science in college, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on the class! Thanks! :)
Hi Alexa! I took intro to IR online when I was studying abroad in Taiwan. The experience of learning about IR while abroad was something special. The class was very heavy on reading, but there were only four essays we had to write throughout the quarter (10 weeks), and those essays were 90% of our grade. It was definitely challenging to be pushed to write at such a high level (usually 7-8 page papers responding to dense readings) while still in high school. However, the professor was super responsive and gave quick feedback to my discussion posts and essays. I found that my writing abilities grew exponentially. I hope this is somewhat insightful, and let me now if you have further questions!
MY JAW LITERALLY DROPPED WHEN YOU SAID NSLIY OMGGGG I APPLIED FOR MANDARIN AND AM WAITING FOR AN EMAIL RN AHHH
hopefully this summer i will be going to taiwan like you😌(this year mandarin applicants are most likely getting sent to taiwan cuz covid)
Thank you so much this was so helpful! Can you please share about your living experience while your in Taiwan and more information about the program .🙂
Im overwhelmed
did everything go well krazygamer
Thanks Iris!
Ofc!!!
Can't believe i used to think this was normal. I did my masters in Sweden and they just care about your bachelors grades and your interest bc education is free for Europeans and everyone is entitled to it. The schools are still very good but there's no need for extreme competition by means of having a million extra things in your application. You don't need to impress them bc they think if you want an education, you ought to be allowed to attend the school. Why is this so revolutionary?
thank you for this info
hey!! I’ve practically binge watched your videos this morning and found all of them so helpful! I was wondering if you had any tips for underclassmen? Also, how did you discover your passion projects and how long did it take for you to develop them?💓💓
Hi Sydney!
I will probably make a tips for underclassmen video soon in the form of high school regrets/letter to my freshman self. What aspects are you particularly interested in? (academics, extracurriculars, relationships, etc.?) Any specific questions would be really helpful in making this video!
As for passion projects, I started the video pal program sophomore year and my book junior year. They didn't take long at all to start making an impact, about 3-4 months. I would try to see what problems there are in my community and create solutions for them. For example, lack of access to travel-->video pal program; underrepresentation of girls in economics-->econ book with gender neutral graphics.
I hope this provided some insight and let me know if you have further questions!
Iris
awee you are so sweet and helpful!! I’d definitely love seeing that video! :) I definitely am interested in the academic and extracurricular aspects of high school. My first year went really well; however, I want to push myself outside of my previous comfort zone and develop more passions! I’m planning on going on the medical route, but the extracurriculars are a bit harder to come by for me. Is there a way to have passions that don’t relate to your intended major very much? Also, how can you set yourself apart from other applicants if you don’t have a unique background? Although getting into an elite university is rewarding, I also just want to have a good experience in high school. :) Could you share your experience balancing social life with academic dedication? Thank you for all of your help! You truly are an amazing person!!
@@sydneyanderson2484 This is great, thanks for all these questions! I'll do my best to answer all of them in the video and if I miss anything, feel free to just comment and ask me to elaborate. Thanks again!
What activities did you do the summer before you sophomore year?Thanks so much for this video
Amazing information
Hi Iris! your video was so helpful! I know you talk about starting your own non-profit, but in the future would you consider talking about how to start a company, since I believe the legal work for that would be slightly different?
Hi Tannvi! I'll definitely consider this video idea, but will have to keep a lookout for someone who has started a company and who has experience doing the legal work! I'm considering starting a business this summer, so maybe I'll walk CZcams through the process :)
Hi iris!! Hats off to your dedication!! I have a question about your summer probgrams/internships your research internship and program at Yale are pretty far away so I was wondering how you did those programs if you don't live there, does the program pay for your flight??
Great video! Looking for my son. Would love to hear more about the National Security program. We have huge challenges ahead in this country especially from China and it would be wonderful to have American students like you learning mandarin and computer science and helping combines like Palantir protect our national security.
OMG, quite sad seeing this kind of post as a Chinese. National security is definitely important for every nation, but why can't we cooperate instead of hating each other? Why can't people learn foreign languages for communication instead of competition? I feel pretty sad seeing this :(
I don't think she is trying to hate on anyone, she is absolutely right about the threat we face. The Chinese government is pretty blunt in saying they want dominante, meaning #1 in the world for economy ect! It is disappointing to see you taking her comment into another context completely from what she is saying! The United States needs to protect itself! An stay competitive in order to stay relevant and secure!
What types of activities would you recommend to introverts?😅
@Kyra Jagodzinski I get fucking anxiety because I couldn't stand out in any way in my blogs and NGO
@Kyra Jagodzinski I wanna start a blog but I don’t have a laptop
there are sooo many different activities and actually I am also an introvert so let me list a few:
1) languages ( learning a new language can be very exciting and looks fabulous on your college application)
2) Writing a book ( you can write a book and it doesn't need to be an education based book even writing fiction books or fanticy books can boost your application a lot)
3) coding ( you ca learn coding online for free and it has such a great impact on your application)
4) graphics designing
5) digital art
6) animation
7) basically any course you can do online and trust me there are hundreds and are very useful in the long run ❤
Hey, I love this video and it was super helpful!. You mentioned that you got involved in political stuff during the summer. How did you find those opportunities?
Could you give a checklist of good summer programs of Top US universities, especially those International students can apply.
I wish I saw this video during my freshman year
Thanks for your video. I really like neoroscience and I want to continue in the college. I have attended in different webinars, symposiums with great professors ( one of them , I saw Stanford professors and I asked my questions) . And I am a researcher and I work in brain and neuroscience. Are these webinars good extracurricular activities to show my passion?
Thanks for your responding dear
At the end of each Academic years at University, I just lived like Oliver Reed for three Months during the Summer drinking beer, lol.
Hey Iris your videos are extremely helpful. In one of your videos you talked about one of your passion projects in which you developed a platform where you brought together students to reduce cultural bigotry? I was just wondering how you managed to get students to sign up from 6 continents and gather such huge support ( P.S. I am sorry this isn’t related to this video but I can’t seem to remember where I watched it )
Hi Catherine! I made a video about this w/ the rest of my team and it's linked in my extracurriculars playlist! The title is something along the lines of stand out to get in... video pal program
Can u please make a video on how to publish your book?
This summer i will be writing researches and a book
And personal statement of course 😂
Hi Iris, you are doing a great job and your content is great. Thank you for that! I had a question: I love playing many outdoor sports like frisbee, football and basketball and regularly play them with some of my nearby friends but I didn't go for any state, national or international competition for these sports. Does this still count as good in my college profile?
I think you have to show the colleges that you're actually good at it. in india the colleges need atleast "state level" in competitions.
hey iris! could i just ask some questions about the osu ecampus? i made some mistakes with class signup and ended up accidentally withdrawing a bunch of classes (which all unfortunately show up as w's on my transcript now) - i was wondering if you sent in the official transcripts or just mentioned that you took the classes on the common app!
@Iris Fu Do you have any tips or things I could do to get a leg up on Ivy League universities' college admissions as a freshman?
hi iris! if you don't mind me asking, what program you did you do for your study abroad time in Taiwan? it sounds like a really cool experience!
also, i'm taking a summer class online at oregon state u's ecampus currently (rising junior). i'm also considering taking another one in winter quarter of the upcoming year (basically spring semester for high schools). however, i'm also taking 4 aps in core classes, and i don't know if this would be a good choice during the months leading up to ap exams. i was wondering if you had any advice, anything would be appreciated, thanks! :)
I did NSLI-Y! I would say start your AP classes in the fall and see how the workload feels. Then, when winter quarter registration comes, you can decide. I think winter quarter ends in March/April so that'd be before AP season!
Hey, can you make a video with your friend on how to create a blog? I really want to start one, but I'm not sure how to get it to grow...Thanks
the privilege is incredible to be able to do all these programs. the key is does she continue any of these programs after she got accepted?
All your videos are wonderful Iris. But, Is all these possibilities are same for international applicants too
Amazing
:)
During pandemic I was so devastated and not motivated to do anything at all. I was really like a douchebag. But now I am graduating and must pass national test to get into uni . I regret doing nothing during quarantine when I actually could . I would really like to submit my application this year even though I will be freshman soon so that i can get into another uni . Do you know anybody with this kind of situation? Whatdid they do ? What should I do ? It will be like a gap year in uni i dont want to studt
Hi, good evening, about the internship and summer class program, is it okay if you did it like 5 years ago? Or it must be updated from time to time or to the present time?
Hello! You are such an inspiring person and I see passion in your eyes clearly! You motivate people so easily😅 I finished 8th grade this year and want to go to genetics school. I have plans to write a book. But can you help me please! I can write a book, but can I do also translate? I'm Kazakh and it's really common in our country to forget native language as we have a small amount of content in Kazakh. Can I translate book in English/Russian on Kazakh and publish it? (I really want to do that.) Will it affect on my app? Book and translated book. Thank you so much!!!
If I were to do a blog on computer science, does it need to be successful for it to count as an impressive/worthy passion project?
Iris, thanks for helping, but I have a question. (Maybe it'll be a stupid one, but I really need to know)
So, my parents are hoping that I'll get into the top university / college of my country. It has an acceptance rate of JUST 0.7% and doesn't require ANY extracurriculars. Just clear the entrance exam (which is one of the hardest exams in the World) and you'll get in. But. One tiny part of me wants to get into Harvard badly. Most possibly my parents will help in EVERY way they can if I tell them. But... Even after being educated (my father is a professor) they think studying hard is the only key. Extracurriculars are ONLY for fun. *How do I tell them that I want to get into Harvard, and I need to do some extracurriculars?* I HAVE to tell them because in my country, children are REALLY dependent on their parents. If you read this far, thank you! Please answer if you can ❤
Hi Iris, this video is really helpful.Can u please tell me where to start an online community. Please
hi iris! you are so inspirational and helpful and i love your videos so much!! haha i dmed you but honestly i think it's great that you're deleting Instagram because we all need a break from social media! basically could you talk more about see the voices and go into detail about that? i love the way you talk about passion projects and it's inspired me to create one. also, is it too late to start one the summer before senior year? thank you!💛💛
Yes!!! Planning that video, hopefully it’ll be up next Monday. No, it’s not too late at all!! Go for it 👏👏
Hi I'm an upcoming junior and I was wondering how you'd apply to the university of oregon e college program. Would you apply as a freshman? Also thanks for this video!
do you think an internship is EXTREMELY important/ required to make it into an ivy league or ivy league type school such as Stanford?
Does the common app still have a "summer programs" section if so what is the limit of programs you can put and also if you can put some of the "activities" section of the common app?
I want to pursue marine biology, do you think starting a blog about the environment, creating a volunteer organization for teenagers (cleaning up beaches. I live on an island and we don't have any programs for teenagers to involve on), next summer going on a volunteer trip abroad in order to help to protect the marine life and (maybe) starting a swimwear sustainable online store is going to increase my chances of entering college with financial aid? ( I'm working on my GPA an SAT's scores but I'm super anxious about the process and idk if it's enough)
please help me I need some light on this!
ps: I'm an international student from brazil
ps2: Do you think being an international student affects your chances of getting in or receiving a financial aid?
Hey I loveee your videos. It would mean a lot if you reply. I had a question. I've got my own blog but it's on Instagram. Will that do? Or do I need or make one of those traditional blog sites? Instagram blogging does count right?
can we get more information on NSLI FOR YOUTH? please
Can online college-level courses count the same as taking those classes physically? Especially during a pandemic?!
With the college classes you took through OSU: can I take a random online class at any college? For example, I'm super interested in public health and epidemiology and I would be interested in using my time in quarantine taking an online intro to epidemiology class. Do you recommend OSU over other universities, or can I use any college?
I think any college should be fine, as long as it’s accredited. I used OSU as an example bc I knew they have a strong online program. But with corona, I’m guessing most schools will have an online program. Good luck with your classes!!! 👏👍
hi! this video was super helpful! i was wondering what do u suggest we can do it coronavirus impacts our summer? volunteering, summer programs, and research opportunities r canceled and i feel like it’s a little bit too late for me to sign up for a virtual summer program.
Hi Shivanshi!
An online program would be great-for example taking classes online or starting an internet blog like Afro Puff Chronicles. I’ll also make a video on the video pal passion project I did, because that’s something that’s feasible through stay at home orders. You can also do a passion project on a book topic of your choice and publish that. This is feasible from just your laptop as well. I hope this helps and lmk if you have follow up questions!
You probably won't see this but. Im in 8th grade and want to do something over this summer, but all of the summer programs have an age req, do you know any summer programs that dont have an age req? I think I'm advanced for my age in areas like Math and Programming (Im in precalc this year, and know python and java). I'm trying to get into a good college and am trying to start now. Which summer programs should I enroll in, and which summer classes should I enroll in to get Highschool credit so I can take even more advanced class in HS. The classes I want to get advanced in that I'm required to take next year are Spanish 2, Stem Physics, Global Studies 9, Lit and Comp 9. I was wondering if there was a way to gain take and gain the credits for these classes over the summer.
Hi! I’ve started an online dance organization and we have around 40 kids in my neighborhood who participate. I want to expand this to the entirety of my state and other states as well. How can I do this?
My current main ecs are:
- Hands4Hope Volunteer (81.5+ Hours), Club Member, Winter Boutique Committee Member, Homeless Outreach Committee, Food Pantry Committee
- Varsity Debate Member, NCFL National Qualifier, Degree of Honor,
- Trojan Times (School Magazine) Co-President + Co-Founder
Based on these can you recommend any additional ecs that would be impressive but revolving around similar interests
Gaming
Hi, Iris! Four videos about the college application are not accessible.These are How to Start a Nonprofit Organization, My Accepted Common App Essay ,My Accepted Stanford Supplemental Essays , and My Accepted Cornell “Why School” Essay. Could you help me out? Thanks a lot!
This video is very helpful as a freshmen in high school! 😍 Can you please do a video mainly on VideoPal program? I really want to know the whole process of doing it because I thought of doing something similar on my own!
Great suggestion! Starting to plan the video now :)
I wonder is it necessary to attend summer program to be admitted into selective universities since I could find substitutes for topic that I interested in some websites,such as Cousera.Thanks a lot!
You took internships in Oregon and Yale. Did you pay for a dorm or we're these internships virtual?
What age should you start to branch out and start internships?
Idk if you will still respond but how do I sign up for the ecampus on Oregon state? It is making me apply as an undergraduate. Do I have to do that or is there I way I can apply just for the summer as a high school student?
Hi, Iris. How are you today?
I really want to start a PAL program, because I feel confident enough to help other kids interested in majoring music as I am, but here is my question...
I'm homeschooled and I do not have any idea about how and where start it, can you help me, please?
I'll appreciate your help A LOT!!!
hi! very helpful video! i was wondering if you had any suggestions on getting people invested in an idea without having a network? for example, how would you have connected with people from other countries with out having formed the network you did at the Yale Youth Program?
Yes of course! Social media is a great place to go. Trying searching for high schoolers who are leading organizations (they'll tag it in their bio). Use Linkedin, Instagram, and Twitter!
Iris Fu thank you for the advice, great ideas! :)
I tried to join a Stanford summer program but it doesn't have any specific way you can sign up for it? I can only see the syllabus.
Hi Fu!!! Can you pls pls let me know about the Summer School in Stanford for Computer Science, Robotics n mechanical engineering.
I used to code RTS game and It's going well but it's gets harder when coding units
Can a passion projects be a travel blog? Because I have one travel blog but I do not know if that counts for anything.
Question, is the trip to Taiwan still avaliable through the NSLI-Y? I went to the website and I saw something about applying for E classes for the upcoming fall but I didn’t see anything about that trip 😭 im sorry I’m really dumb please help
What about online courses like edX, Coursera, etc?
Do you think it would be a good idea for me to take classes over the summer that way I can take classes I actually care about when school does start? For example, I need to take financial literacy, physical education, and health as a requirement to graduate but I don’t wanna have to take those classes over the school year because I don’t really have much interest in them. Also, do you think having a free period looks bad in college applications? I don’t have one right now but I was just wondering.
Big yes to this! I did this (if you see my stats video I go through all my HS coursework) and I got a lot of prereqs out of the way by taking online classes over the summer or during the school year. Having a free period in itself does not look bad, but taking too few classes/too light of a course load will look bad. For example, I had four free blocks my senior year but I also took three classes online with Oregon State Ecampus. I hope this insight is helpful to you and let me know if you have further questions!
Hi mam I have one doubt that learning another language like german and french are helpfull in our college application in US universities and can learning another language like French and german help in our extracurricular activities to show in USA universities
Is writing a book related to corona virus a good activity?
Hi! For the Oregon state E campus, should I apply to the non-degree seeking program? And are the credit transferrable?
Hi Caroline!
Yes, you should apply to the non degree program. otherwise you’ll have to apply to college as a transfer student :/ transferring the credit depends on the school you’ll end up attending. OSU/UO definitely takes all of the credit. For Stanford, I haven’t quite worked out the process yet but you have to submit some forms and see if there’s a matching/equivalent course. Ultimately, I did it more for the learning. If it doesn’t transfer to Stanford, that’s completely fine with me, as I know the classes I take at Stanford will be super interesting, I want to spend four years at the institution, and it’s fairly easy to graduate in four years. Definitely consider your own situation, but I hope this perspective helps!
