hey everyone so here are my 2021 college decision reactions :)) i applied to 23 schools, including 6 ivies (Harvard, Princeton, Brown, Columbia, Yale, and UPenn), Stanford, MIT, UChicago, Rice, Northwestern, and more. i can’t even begin to tell you how relieved i am that the process is over because my stress the past three months 📈📈 and ESPECIALLY the day before ivy day
DISCLAIMER: don't take the 'predictions' seriously 😭i was just trying to speak the acceptances into existence 😄
side note… how are some people so calm about acceptances!?!?!? make sure you watch this video on speaker and not headphones (to prevent ear damage)
side note 2… i didn’t realize how high my voice gets when i’m nervous or excited i promise it’s not that high normally 😭
stats and ec's: • how i got into ivies [...
why i chose pton: • why i chose princeton ...
anyways subscribe if you want more college vids and stuff :)

Hi, congrats on Princeton! Also, is it possible if you could show your stats, ec’s, and essays for brown, and Princeton?
@@snappy2k YESSS
L
Congrats for you! Also, i see 2 blackpink posters xD
Why dose it say class of 2025 instead of 2021
His mom at the bottom of the stair jumping up and down all excited was everything 😂😂
I am a person who speaks asmr in english Thank you for taking a look ^^~~
@@attrennux0000 was that comment necessary?
i mean you can't blame her. She moved to america to give her son a better education, and to see her own son get into princeton makes all the hardships worthwhile
Please don't be immature. Your comment was not smart
she will not be that happy when paying the tuition
As a high school senior who is currently in the middle of applying to college, this video simultaneously gave me immense stress and elation
Don’t stress! If you know how to play the game you can get into any school. I mean, I got into Columbia with a 28 ACT and 3.8 GPA. Just gotta play the game
@@davidsawyer3737 Can I ask you one thing this year sat or acts is not compulsory for applying right?? Please tell me I'm very confused regarding that cause I had not been able to give sat or act so can I apply without those
@@davidsawyer3737 haha my gpa doesn’t touch the 2s
@@namratathakur161 I have no idea I got in in 2019 before all of the new COVID ACT protocols so I am not sure!
@@namratathakur161 You don’t need them, however if you do not have a GPA over 3.8, you need to do the SAT/ACT (if you want to get into a prestigious university)
your mom’s reaction made me cry lol. our parents work so hard for so many years, striving for the best for us, and in that moment it all paid off. nothing makes our parents happier than academic achievements (especially immigrant parents, considering a lot of them have never had the opportunity for education). best of wishes on your journey bro. thanks for sharing this video.
❤️❤️❤️
that part literally made me cry too. it was just such a special moment.
Tip; if you are waitlisted and you really want to go to the school, call (do not email) the admissions office. Happened to me. I was waitlisted and I called immediately and they admitted me before we got off the phone. Don't wait around.....they have space for you. Also, after you've been in the work force for 2-3 years no one cares where you went to school or what your GPA was. They care if you can get the job done.
What did you end up telling them?
What did u say
@@robertgutierrez4696 If I remember correctly I just asked questions...like how long the wait list was, when I might hear something, etc. My goal in calling wasn't to actually get them to change their mind. I was seriously calling just to get more information about how the wait list process worked. I think my taking control and calling showed the admissions office I cared and wanted to go there. It may not work for everyone (and I wouldn't expect Ivy League level schools to do it) but it's worth a try. Don't just give up.
@@donnybwisor may I ask which school that was
This def is the truth for a lot of decent and average schools, but for the ivies they absolutely do not have space to offer you admission if you’re on the wait list
Damn... he's really cute and he's attending Princeton... 😏😳. Too bad I'm out of his Ivy League 😪😭
HAHAHHA
LMFAOOOOOO PLEASE
😏😳
Bonk
this has no reason being this funny
ur mom seems more exited than u are for princeton lmao
Imagine working so hard to provide the best possible future for your kid and it actually happens...The best possible future...congrats to her.
I didn’t even notice his mom appeared. The moment he screamed, the second my phone fell. I think my ear drums got shattered, thats what I get for wearing headphones.
The two proudest days in an Asian mother's life, the day your son gets into a Ivy and the day he becomes doctor. I'm joking obviously, anyone would be proud of getting into Princeton, it takes a lot of hard work. I know when my son got into MIT he didn't sleep for 3 straight and it was probably a feeling of uncontrollable pride I hadn't felt since the day I got my doctorate. I think pride just hits so much harder when it is your children who have made you proud, a different sensation that I just can't describe.
@Katie Ellen Tu I am Asian, what is your point? MIT is actually one of the least racist tops schools out there. Life isn't fair, that is just how it is, In the time that I grew up we couldn't afford to sit there and blame the system, we did everything and anything to get to the top despite everything that was stacked against us. Once you have power you can create change but without it your words will simply land of deaf ears. MIT not only provides you with a decently higher quality of education but more importantly acts as one form of a "ticket" to the networks that are most important in the industries that MIT is most known for research wise. Power is all about who you know, what you can do and what you can make others do.
please be aware that it is excited instead of exited. are you exiting something? if you want to apply to college please... yeah. JK LMAO BUT.... PLEASE
Keep in mind, 2021 was one of the hardest years to get into colleges while 2020 was one of the easiest (cause a lot of people took gap years). I don’t mean this as a way to downplay anyone who got into where they wanted in 2020, just pointing this out so you don’t feel so bad about the rejections. If you got accepted in 2020, you are more than brilliant enough to be there. Even if you wouldn’t have been accepted another year, the only reason is that there are just so many applicants and so few places. So don’t be hard on yourself either way!
I'm going to be applying for fall of 2022.. is it gonna be as bad as 2021 for us?
@@emannaeem2085 it’s actually going to be worse :/ like for example MIT had the most applicants this year compared to any other year
@@nicolellanos9141 damn.
Shoot for the moon honestly, my brother is a transfer student to Stanford in 2021. I never thought he'd get in especially since it's super hard to get accepted as a transfer but he did
Y'all I'm crying. His mom's reaction to him getting in to Princeton is amazing.
The way you correlated your wardrobe to school colors made this 10x better 😭
IKR RIGHT
YO SAME I NOTICED THAT LMAO
I did that when doing college tours and so I'm glad I wasn't the only one doing this LOL

It's crazy how this dude knows the accepted screen of every university he applied to. Congrats on the results man, you are going to do great things
I had a whole crying session when I saw how happy your mother was. THe music, the production the suspense - everything made this video so perfect. I am so glad to hear that your hard work paid off!
wow hes so handsome I wonder if he goes to Princeton

This literally made me so so happy. Your mother is such an angel🥺 IM SO PROUD OF YOU DUDE!!!
THANK YOU SM ASHLEY
Me too @Ashley Cotter
Ashley Cotter
the reactions are on the same level as someone rolling a gacha
so happy
I'm so glad to see you get excited over being waitlisted. I see so many reaction videos and everyone looks so disappointed and upset and I don't get it unless it was your dream school. If it were me I'd be so happy too! Especially with such difficult schools to get into!
I love how you have your friends on a zoom call. So supportive of them!
My time has come to binge on these (I do this every year wtf)
same ... I literally have ivy day marked on my calendar each year... and I'm in 8th grade... it's kinda unhealthy lol.
@@makedabrodie9500 right i’m in 8th as well. and my dream school is Yale and i’m just binge watching these for hope 😭. i’mma start working very hard next year though😩
@@makedabrodie9500 Omg same like I haven't even gotten my high school results yet why am I thinking about college lol
I am a sophomore and my dream school is Columbia but I also would love to go to Cornell or NYU
Fr bro, I’m in 7th. Ngl my grades ain’t looking pretty and I think ima fail the grade. These videos and my friends keep me motivated 🥲 I told myself ima be a straight A student for highschool though
imagine getting rejected by rice as an asian edit: thanks for 1K likes
😂😂 underated comment
I didn't understand could you please explain
@@iliyannazarali495 rice is an asian food
Omg lol
HAHHAHAHA this deserves more likes
Can we appreciate the friend who was there almost all the time. That's a real friend
Awww your friends agreeing to be there with you is the sweetest. I remember that moment - although I wasn't checking Harvard. My family was there and I just opened one after the other.
Congrats on Princeton! I got into Columbia and my best friend got into Harvard and we always joke that we feel inferior to Princeton (because on the USNews colleges ranking, Princeton is 1, Harvard is 2, and Columbia is 3). So glad you ended up at the best university in the world 😎😎😎😎
@Katie Ellen Tu i agree actually, university rankings are dumb and not based on anything really. It's just a joke we have lol
Whatt? Princeton is 1????? Omg
Not in the world, that's just the US. I think Oxford and Cambridge are higher than all of those. Nonetheless - an absolutely awesome achievement for you, your friend, and Kyle!!! Congrats all of you!
@@celestyelle6164 us news world report does not have those two as top
Seriously??? We knew Harvard was the best Ivy. However, all ivies are great!!! And best of luck for future.
You can see girl was genuinely happy for him when he got accepted in princeton Congratulations 🥳
@Katie Ellen Tu wth
@Katie Ellen Tu this is so weird getting in because youre racist thank God situation in my country is different
@Katie Ellen Tu Are you a teacher? Just a thought.
@Katie Ellen Tu oh damn you definitely didn't get in to the university you wanted Huh. Feels bad
@Katie Ellen Tu well did you teach in a good school?
Imagine having UT Austin as a safety school. Mine was a community college
If you know how to play the game you can get into any school. I mean I got into Columbia with a 28 ACT and 3.8 GPA. Just gotta play the game
@@davidsawyer3737 what kinda game r u talking about
@@davidsawyer3737 What if thousands of students are playing the game with only hundreds of spaces?
@@von3689 @gigamonsters there are, that’s why you have to take a different route. Let me tell you something that helped me more than anything else. If you see a video or if someone is advertising a program to “get into any school” that is not the way to get into the school. You have to be unique take a unique approach and stand out. I’m not a genius by any means but I could of gotten into any ivy school I wanted!
@@davidsawyer3737 then please do share, how did you get into such good schools without having good academics?
I’m a mom waiting for decisions for my son. He applied at almost all the schools you applied to and a few you didn’t (25 total). I cried when you saw your Princeton acceptance. I can feel your and your mom’s excitement. Congratulations! I’m hoping to see dancing bulldogs, blue confetti and tigers when it’s my son’s turn. 🤞🏼
How did it go?
@@thatsmallguy6729 Let us hope that it went well :)
ALSO BRO UR EDITING IS SO GOODDDDD
THANK YOU!!
This is one of the best/purest reaction videos I’ve seen
@Katie Ellen Tu no
Congratulations on your acceptance to Princeton. Your moms reaction was priceless! Stay focused bc your life is going to change!
This was the cutest most wholesome video ever. Especially when you and your mom reacted to Princeton!!

Congrats, Kyle! This was so heartwarming to watch.
I started crying 😭😭he’s so amazing and the way he reacted about Princeton is amazing
your princeton reaction was so ADORABLE BAHHAHA ! congrats on getting in !!!!!!
nice pfp
I love how u just causally scream and change ur school merch at the same time. This was amazing congrats!🎉
the way that you came up on my recommendations and now i’m crying and so proud with you getting into Princeton😭
Since middle school and an obsession with the research from the professors, Princeton has been my dream school. Though I am keeping in mind that the people I'd enjoy most are the kind of people that would accept me. So congrats!! This is awesome!!! That said, I hope that we all get into a school where we can continue to be accepted that way! :D
i get results for hpa (uh/baylor bsmd) next week so i’ll update you guys in the comments here!! i just wanted to post the vid sooner lol edit (4/15): i got into hpa which would guarantee me med school admission to baylor college of medicine!!
If you want to be a doctor can't do much better than this program.
Congrats! Enjoy dude 😊
congrats!!!! 🎊
congrats! that's the program I want to get into
Honestly, this came into my suggested videos, and I was like, eh, why not. I'm not even from the USA, nor am I university/college application age yet. And somehow, I ended up crying when you got accepted into Princeton. So well done! I'm sure you deserve it, and I'm sure you've worked so hard to get where you are :)
Lol same
same here, I just watch them for motivation and I like seeing the joys on their faces when they get accepted to a school they want to go to
I was pretty bummed when I didn't get into mit or cornell, but ultimately I went to a private uni on a scholarship. I'm now working at my dream company as a bioengineer and couldn't be happier (about %5 hire rate). Sometimes the name of the school doesn't matter, but how you're able to leverage your knowledge and opportunities.
woww
OMG I cried so hard seeing you and your mom so happy like this... CONGRATS!!!
I love how his friends are there, super supportive!!
11/10 EDITING SKILLS KING
The one friend that has been through all of your rejections and acceptances is a keeper. I hope he also got into the college of his dreams.
Very heartwarming video! You and your mom had me smiling when you both were so happy it was really very nice to see!!
CONGRATS ON PTON AND WELCOME TO THE ORANGE BUBBLE! class of 20 here, please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the music dept!! im indecisive af and ended up back in music conservatory for my master's after almost wanting to do music undergrad :)

Don't skip the part of yall screaming 😭 Love hearing happiness from all the hard work congrats bro get that bag
13:09 literally almost started crying. CONGRATS ON PRINCETON!!!
I gotta say that this was an amazing video.. loved how organized and well done it was!! Congrats on Princeton!!
This was so fun to watch as a fellow senior!! Congrats on so many amazing acceptances!!
I'm a college senior in the middle of applying to colleges. I felt jitters when you're opening your college decisions. I don't know you, but tears of joy came when you got accepted into Princeton. Congratulations!!
you & your mom screaming about the princeton acceptance was so wholesome >>>
I always found myself jealous watching these but I love your point of view and ingenuity, it really altered my perspective. I avoided watching any of this year's since I applied too but your video was a blast! Thank you and good luck!
I love this format for a college decisions video, the editing is great and it was put together really well
I'm quite late but the algorithm showed me this. It's so cool seeing people's university reactions and the success stories. I was rooting for you to get into Northwestern but I'm of course happy you went to Princeton! I'm UChicago class of '15 and I got my UChicago admission decision while I was in Vienna on a school orchestra trip. I logged into my email on a hotel computer and had to decide whether to check the admissions portal or not, knowing that if I did, the result would either make or break my trip. Safe to say the trip was made!
This video really made me happy, Congratulations on getting accepted to a variety of great universities with your hard work, I truly hope the best for you and your upcoming future!!!
CONGRATULATIONSSS!!! Your Princeton reaction made me so emotional!! This was amazing!
omg his reaction when he got into princeton made me start crying lmao, congrats!!
His mom is literally so precious!!
It’s so funny how you have your friends reacting 😭😭😭 congrats on your acceptances bro
not me jumping with u during princeton decision :') congrats boo, u deserve the love!
I love how I’m still a junior and watching these but I actually love the yelling in the video even tho it’s loud
omg your mom is adorable🥺 CONGRATS!
Congratulations!! I am extremely stressed about this whole process but I am confident that I will get into USNA. Thank you so much your video gave me a lot of encouragement
