Ivy League coach reveals why HARVARD didn't accept me

These days colleges are just picking holes to reject a student.

You are a great student with a lot of potential. The main reason I think you were not accepted is that colleges especially Ivy League love a student who sticks to one thing and isn't an all-rounded type of student. Your essay was outstanding, but it was hard to find your personality who you are as a character, and what your main thing is doing. overall, I think you should have stuck to one topic/ theme and expanded it based on that theme then you would have gotten in. Anyway, have a wonderful future.

I am studying at the College of Physical Therapy in Egypt. Can I enter Harvard Medical School if I meet the conditions? Or will this be impossible due to the condition that stipulates that the student should not register in any medical school before studying at Harvard?

Harvard accepts 20% of Valedictorians. So technically you had a 1/5 chance of getting into Harvard :P

“You still have to have good grades because everyone has good grades” bro can someone get me out of this college admission stress spiral

I know people that got into Harvard that were frankly a lot less qualified. Don’t always think it’s your fault all the time.
The real story here is that the world isn’t fair and the most deserving are not always rewarded. Why do you think we have so much incompetent people in positions of power? Time to move on. Persistence is key.

How to get into Harvard these days: get excellent grades; be well-rounded; don't be Asian.

Harvard has a track record of discriminating Asians anyway.

MIT and Caltech based on your application are the appropriate places for you, to get into the other types of school you needed have show a real interest in applying your math skills in business or a social science ( I assume you already understand this but as so many people will watch Stanford and Harvard what if videos vs another Asian getting into Caltech)

It was your T-shirt! You need to wear a T-shirt with I LOVE HARVARD.

Hi! Can I use Curricular to get guidance on how to get into Ivy League schools for Masters?

God awful pretentious shit essay.

You put so much effort in helping students getting into their dream school, and that is really impressive. I LOVE YOU!!

We all singular entities with multiple interests. Those interests typically are connected somehow, often in ways most people would miss. Showing how they are connected indicates self-awareness and gives a sense of who the student will continue to be in college.

While showing how the activities have an impact on the student is valuable, even more beneficial would be showing how the activities have an impact of other people.

Colleges like Harvard want students who will make their campus better, both academically and non-academically.

The spelling might not be exactly right but: Triamcinolone Acetonide Ointment -have you tried that for your eczema? This works on a small amount of eczema on someone. Do not try please, please without speaking with your dermatologist.

Is this legit ? I scheduled a consultation nobody was there, Did they really help or is this just an advertising video? Do you offer admissions review?

You seem more educated then your advisor. She talked in circles as for you anyone would know that all you did was tell a story and never focus on your goals or accomplishments
Let’s hope you get paid for promoting this company as they don’t seem very professional at all

I'm sorry but,
WHY IS THE LADY BLINKING SO MUCHHHH 😭

she got rejected because she is an Asian student with perfect grades.

Only 99th percentile? Harvard and Stanford cannot accept 1/100 applicants.

rest in peace so sorru ops

Hard to believe rejected at EVERY ivy ? Imckudig Dartmouth and Cornell? Something’s missing from this story other than the essay was not a Pulitzer Prize specimen of uniqueness and creativity. Some observations 1) these sophisticated schools are pretty sharp-they know SAT aptitude test is more discerning/discriminating than ACT. When you pass on teh sat, they notice-don’t believe otherwise, they like you know there was a reason you chose the act over the sat. Sat shows potential as a college student, much more relevant thannu[your mastery of pretty basic hs curriculum which is what act does. 2)teacher Re s are always the wild card and out of your control-i won’t elaborate beyond sweat these choice carefully and cultivate potential people who will be writing your letter of recommendation. It’s a skill you’ll need the rest of your life.3)there is a reason SCOTUS is about to make an epic decision about racial discrimation in college admissions. Thsi applicant didn’t have to check the box 1st of 2nd generation Asian girl”-her surname and her essay shout it. To beleive the admissions committee made no effort to balance the class ethnically Asian girls in the face of the open deliberate efforts to manipulate the class ethnic breakdown when it comes to other minorities (AA, native Americans, Hispanics -whatever that term means?)is risible….seriously ..white, nobody has to find a reason formthese results at YHPSMit/cal tech But Dartmouth? Cornell? Seriously how many matrculants in these schools classes next year will have what 7 5s on ap exams , 800 in math etc etc. like 4% ?Something’s still missing in this story.

The one thing to keep in mind is to not be asian, be black if you want to be accepted.

Affirmative Action is now over.

I hope this person knows that if they want to go to the school of their choice, they still can. Being rejected once is just the beginning of their journey. It's not mentioned in this video but the applicant should spend the next year getting experience in doing exactly what they love, or figuring out what it is that they love and just reapply. I am Ivy League alumni and I volunteer helping the admissions office by interviewing select alumni. Every student that gets assigned to me for an interview is a great student. Many are passionate about getting into an Ivy League school and have spent a great deal of their school career preparing to get into the school. It's amazing, however, that a lot of times that seems to be the primary goal and that is it. What I want to know is what are they going to do with the degree? After all, university is only four years, so what about the rest of their life? How is a degree and the experience from going to this particular school going to help them in what they really want to do? Also, I personally think that how you make a positive impact in the world is very valuable, BUT what I believe is even MORE important is how this will make the applicant happy? How is this step in their life going to contribute to their overall wellbeing and joy in life? When I talk with a student and see that they got good grades, participated in sports, student government, extra curricular activities, etc. It often feels like they are just doing it for the sake of impressing school admissions. Even worsts, sometimes they want to impress school admissions, so they can get in and impress their parents. This is just sad. Instead, do what makes you happy and talk about what that is. Also, share how going to any particular school will add to this goal. This is the "passion" that is exciting to hear about from a student. Get me excited about you going to this school because it fits so well with the bigger plan.

because you're Asian -- Harvard prefers black students with low grades over Asians with high grades

Physics 1. LOL Try harder.

Your essay was just not that moving or original. But you’re a wonderful writer.

So, it's not because you are an Asian? Oh wait, that was Stanford LOL

Harvard like most IVY league Liberal Institutional Racist Cults - probably excluded you because there was a less qualified "Favor of the month" / WOKE ethnic group to cater to. They accept based upon quotas vs. merit. Why do you think there are SO many terrible Doctors, Surgeon, and Lawyers ? More unethical, lousy financial "Professionals"? EXCELLENCE does not come from those people who are "Well-Rounded". They come from people who are singularly focus and specialized. THAT IS A FACT - Why do you think there are SO many terrible potential employees available who are not working? Because college degrees are no longer a sign of "achievement" - or - capability. Because they are given out to literally anyone.

Yeah, you need to know your audience when writing anything.

You are better off going to a different University than Harvard.

I know ppl who went to Harvard, and ppl who passed it by once admitted. My doctor's kids did not even apply there, but went to a great school that was also a smaller liberal arts school. Her reasoning was because if they went to Harvard, everyone is a shining star and it would not nourish students who want to try new things. For example, a choir at Harvard would have all of the shining star singers and anyone who was a beginner or even great singer might not have a spot, because of all of the phenomenal talent already there. A great-but-lesser-known school would have more opportunities for students to try things. Isn't going to college supposed to be about learning new things? I personally love being able to learn new things, so accessibility is important to me. A great lesser known school would still give you contacts and a chance to prove yourself. Then if you are really still craving Ivy, go to grad school.

I feel really sorry for you. Watching a kid smart and hard working like you cannot go to top universities makes me anger and worried.

In the real world companies care little of what school you went to, they mostly want to know how you will earn them money. What are you bringing to the table, so make sure you research your school and know what your goal is and more importantly what is the ROI. Don’t be the English major from Princeton making 40K. Be the engineering graduate from a state college earning 80K.

If she was a different race then she would have been accepted to every single college to which she applied. A hundred years ago Ivy League schools used to discriminate against Jews because too many were getting into the school. The only thing that has changed is the races they discriminate against.

Read Thomas Sowell, then you'll realize that the college acceptance process is largely a crock. Don't play the game, go somewhere that actually makes you happy.

You are very smart, you will do well.

You did nothing wrong. Harvard is garbage.

is the firs essay your common app personal essay

I wouldnt worry at all for not being admitted into not only Harvard but any of the USA Ivy league Universities. Why:
Many american nobel laureates were born and studied in Europe.
USA attracts or alures many european brains just because of money.imagine german and russian scientists working together; not all angloamerican scientists would match them

College essays are so stupid. You want to go to an expensive school and get into massive debt for what? Hopefully a valuable education and the school administrators make you beg for it. Going to school is for learning not doing all these extra curricular activities.

Asian discrimination.

The coach could have tried to look more professional to command believability and authority 👩🏻‍💼

even the perfect applicants forget not just passion, but genuineness. presenting themselves honestly. writing in their actual voice, not in a faux-poet voice that has to stuff their sentences with pointless imagery, sloppy syntax, and forced themes. when this is also reflected in being unable to portray an authentic commitment to something meaningful and fresh, it becomes a clear indication of yet another overachiever with no "soul." so many students who do get accepted burn out because they never found out what they actually wanted in life. do not try to get accepted as that kind of student.

the essay itself needed a lot more work. i doubt that whoever helped to proofread and revise was qualified to do so. the whole premise was a mistake -- someone received eczema treatment as a 1 or 2 year old, who as a baby was physically unable to retain memories or learn empathy, yet somehow developed a lifelong appreciation for something they can't possibly remember suffering from or feeling relief from. only the parents could possibly feel and understand it. when something happens to you at that age, you don't learn anything from it. continuing an entire essay based on this alone is a glaring mistake. each additional talking point, about US-China or East-West cooperation, does nothing to express who the applicant really is. and it feels like a ranting mess.
there are structural issues, pacing issues, weird word choices and sentences, and an end quote that is just fluff because the narrative of the writing piece just flopped along to the end.

Can’t you try the next year? Not really know how USA admissions work. In Europe all the students make an anonymous entry exams the correctors only have our barcode number not even a name and those who have the higher grades (when I did it the final grade is 60% entry exams + 40% your institute finals grade) enter in their preferred university and career. One can try every year if wasn’t able to get the a place in their preferred career also if one got accepted but want to change to a different university (same career) it’s possible after one year in that university and good grades. Obviously one doesn’t need to write any assay if you get a higher or equal grade to the acceptance grade you are in.
To be fair I’m quite shocked that in USA the selection process is not transparent.

the advice the person gave about having a focus applies yo getting a job as well. For most jobs they don’t want resumes with a laundry list of experiences. Folks want something that highlights your relevant experience and strengths that will help the employer build the best team possible

Equifax let them in regardless =seems you can use false ID for financial transactions
