Epic video, thanks for your insight!
Considering taking SAT again after 1570 shows you are crazy tbh
hii!! great video!🥰
Congrats!!
Luck plays a significant role in life. For graduate school, I applied to two schools: Stanford and Brown. I got both and went to Stanford (A.M., 1981). I don’t recommend my approach.
@@vqxm7did you read his comment? 😭
Congratulations!!
can you tell me that if we apply for med school and college too so it doesn't affect on our application? Yes or no please tell?
Can you put time stamps pls:)
Refreshing
Hi Debbie 😊 I just need help in my journey I'm an international student and I need advice and mentoring, in my country SAT aren't common and we don't have Act exams here
What should I do 🥺🥺🥺
I am:
- Intersex South Asian Male
- Suburban region (Bristol, UK)
- Public High School
- Not legacy
- Working class
Will my Intersex identity give me a advantage because Intersex is rare in Application pool even for international.
Can you tell me that what are some online extracurriculars that looks good on college application and can you tell me that can we take ap courses online if it is not available by school so please tell?
you def can but if your school doesnt offer them i dont think it will reflect badly yk?
@@DebbieBongokay but please tell some good online ecs that can be done at home and can look good on college app
Was your business an incorporated startup? I'm thinking of opening my own nonprofit and it would be helpful to know your experience with it (I also have a "small business" on etsy and was wondering if you have advice on this aswell?) Thanks and congrats!
it was not! tbh it was a "true" small biz, no employees or super legal- y stuff
Can you transfer to Stanford from another college? Especially if you not in an Ivy League school?
Yes!!
fez went to YALE, really, for 5th grade
hi Debbie, do you know any of business ecs for a student who wants to major in Econ or finance? aside from DECA and FBLA
opening your own business/ startup/ nonrprofit
@@jaslavie hey! Don't you mind if I reach out to you on social media?
not a econ/finance major but i know internships are also very well received, as well as what was previously said (business/startup/NPF)
@@DebbieBong yeah!! i just wanted to ask in case you knew haha. tysm
@@jaslaviethank you!
Awesome! Here's how my sister was the only one in her school to be accepted to Stanford...We're Asian btw😊......So besides the given top notch ap/sat/gpa/rank/extracurriculars/volunteer, here's what we think was the determining factors:
She had a close Stanford ALUMNI MENTOR whom she collaborated on a project that also involved a Stanford PROFESSOR
That professor vouched for her by writting a LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION
She took pre-college courses at Stanford
She was the creator and founder of a couple NON-profit online platforms
Scholarships/grants and family high income would be able to cover her tuition and more
AND she made sure early on that Stanford was definately the right school for her
what essay editing platform did you use?
scholagrade on reddit!
Hello Debbie. My name is Victor and I am applying to colleges right now. I am thinking of doing an online business in Psychology because I am planning to major in Psychology. I also think I want to sell meditation stuffs like relaxation music, etc. Could you give me advices on how to start an online business? I am talking like how you would start an online business for a beginner, like me?
honestly, just create a product and list it online! theres lots of platforms (etsy, ebay, personal website). other things to consider is marketing, production and distribution
Sorry to ask, but what did you talk about in your academic vitality essay?
That supplemental got taken out this year
Hi Debbie
Can you do an essay video? ❤️🔥❤️🔥
definitely, what do you want to see?
@@DebbieBong i dooo
Wow so many like you go to Stanford
I think your CZcams and online business is a spike
As an Indian, I have a query. Does 4.0 GPA mean that you scored 100% in your college?
93% and above on all classes in all 4 years of highschool
Who edited your essay?
I used scholargrade on reddit! it took a while even with expedited return but he was definitely brutally honest (basically told me to completely scrap my first common app LOL)
@@DebbieBongdo you have to pay them for doing that ? And did you also applied the year before you got in ? Why did you had to scrap your old common Id ?
Pfff 12 AP… should be banned taking that many is unfair
