application advice

The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.

Hey guys in So he and in this video, I'm gonna be talking to you a little bit about application advice for just like applying to colleges in general is well, as applying to High Point University specifically. So I wrote down the questions that I'm going to answer as well as some, like, extra advice that I want to give you guys. Okay, So the first question is, what application advice would you give to someone applying to High Point University? So, for example, for my experience with applying, I was the first class to apply as, like high point, being a test optional school, which essentially means that you don't have to submit your CT or scores. When I found this about high point it, like, literally made me it made me so happy. I am pretty sure I start crying when I found that this out because I and not the best test taker and I did not have the best essay here scores on. They definitely weren't where I want them to be for applying to high points with seven. If you haven't seen other videos where I do talk about this The college application process with High Point University specifically as well as advice for applying to colleges. A swell, just some basic advice for applying to college in general. So the first question is, what application vice would you give to someone applying to hyper university? So my experience with applying to high point is a little bit different than, like the average application. Before applying, I got an email that said that high point was now a test optional school, which means that you don't have to send in your S A T scores. So when I found this out, I was so happy, I was like, I'm pretty sure I start crying Son of so excited. What kind of changes? How much money this school can give you. So the application just some common up, which is like similar to every other school. I don't have any, like, specific advice for high point on going like we are attacks on test optional school. Like if you're not the best test taker like you have the option to go on. I would just say something that really helped to me was going to the open house is making connections with the person who is going to be reading your application. I'm pretty sure, like I literally like it went up to him when he came to visit my school and was like, Hi, I'm Zack McGinnis. I'm applying your CD like this, my top choice, and I've literally shook it and I looked in the eye and I was like, I want to go to your school so bad and put yourself out there like I know it's pretty scary to be like I want to go to your school, but like, it's just like something that you need to do, like if you want it that badly. If you want to be a specific school that I'd like. I've never really done something like that so after, like I kind of went through the process and was just, like, open about the fact that, like I wanted to be there that bad, like it, kind of just like, made me more confident when applying. When I had to, like, fill out the questions, I was like, more excited. Yeah, with applying the hype or whatever they say, like make your connections, get out there. It gives you, like, a lasting impression for like when they're reading your application when finally comes in. The next question is, what do you wish you knew when applying honestly, like there isn't anything that I would change throughout my application process, like it was honestly, a dream come true from like the moment I set foot on campus to like the moment I got my acceptance letter, I think that, like I would just, like, tell myself like calm down and, like everything is gonna work out the way it needs to work out. Remember, they're like these three questions you had to answer in, like, fifty words or less, and there were like nights where I would be working on it and I would just feel like crying in front of my computer because, like, I wanted to be accepted so badly. I want all of my answers to be perfect, but like they can't be perfect and hope it, like all works out for the best. Like, I guess I would just tell myself to, like, calm down and, like, not be so hard on myself through the application process because it's all gonna work out in the end. Lastly, I wrote down the little notes like other application advice. I would definitely say to knock out all of your essays over this summer. If you can see if your school has, like an essay class or like seminar over the summer, all right, just one of those and was able to get my get, like three essays done like over the summer done so you don't have to worry about that. You don't have to worry about like your school specific questions, um, that are in your comin up next. I know everyone say this, but like, definitely be honest. You don't want, like, hyper cell about more and show that you have, like, more achievements and you actually dio because especially if you have to do like interviews and they're like reading for your application or like, oh, tell us how you're fluent in Spanish and your lake. I ain't so don't, like, lie or say you've accomplished things that you haven't because all that will definitely come back to bite you in the But another thing that I would say is to, like, reach out to students already go there. Like whenever people like, post about like if we're going there, they always use, like, half times on instagram. So definitely like for me, I looked up the cash like HP twenty one. You're getting all of this information without even like having to reach out. Also like if you get into a lot of schools like that's just going to put more stress on you in deciding so deftly narrow down the schools were going to apply to before you even applied to them. So I hope that sound this application vice helped you with applying to High Point University or even just any university general. I just want to remember that your acceptances don't define who you are as a person or your intelligence.
