How I Got Into Rice, Georgetown, UMich, UVA Honors, UT Austin Business Honors & 12 Lessons I Learned

Hey there! This is: How I Got Into Rice, Georgetown, UMich, UVA Honors, UT Austin Business Honors & 12 Lessons I Learned Here I document lessons about college applications that I wished I knew earlier! Let me know what you'd like to see me make videos about in the comments! If you're stressing about college applications - I feel you! I worked hard in high school and was rejected by my dream school, and while it...didn't feel great at the time (cue: crying from my college decisions video haha), the "worst" happened and I am so excited about the future - truly, you have the capacity to follow your dreams regardless of where you go to college, don't worry! In the mean time though, I hope all goes well with applying to college and your college decisions :) Also, I forgot to mention some of my other ECs/awards! I co-founded a fintech (financial technologies) company my senior year of high school, and we won $1,000 in prize money at a pitch competition; I also was awarded the LEEF STAR student award, and was one of the 3 students in my senior class who received the award.
