Here's some advice
The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.
Okay, so I want to give some advice to prospective students and current seniors. I'm as well a some of you who may just be on and the Laura grades in high school. I would definitely be to try to like AP grab or tests crab, if you can. College can be really helpful as well as bolster How many credits you come into college with for myself. I wasn't actually able to test out of that money classes because I took, like, four language a piece on. I'm like an engineering student, and I'm also taking a language so that didn't actually help that much. A swells like music theory in some other AP tests, but it's still helped me. When I was picking classes because I had so many credits already, I was able to have a better time slot for my class schedules. I was basically I basically had, like, the same number of credits as like a sophomore would, so that really helped me and get the classes that I wanted to get, which was really instrumental and me being able to succeed the semester. I think, um, another piece of advice is so definitely figure out what your priorities are in schooling. So for me personally, I really wanted to go to a school that was really academically challenging. I realized in the end that my goal isn't Teo. It's also to graduate with a master's degree. So I realized Okay, if I'm going to be going to two schools anyway, I might as well go to like an under God were right. I feel like Northeastern really fits my brand of people. Um, at least in general, like most, the people here are really, like, really nice and like, very academically driven, but not in a competitive way like those Sylvie competitive. I don't know about, like, pre med or anything like that. Um, yeah, so that's why I didn't end up going to like Michigan or like Delaware, even though they have, like, better, like chemical engineering programs, is because I realized I would be able to flourish better as a person and grow more as a person in coming to Northeastern. I would say is to definitely keep a checklist of what you find important. Not only in finding your schools, but also, um, in what you want to achieve. I was like, Okay, I wanted, like, try all these things, and then I did, and I was like, Okay, this is what I like to do. I kept doing what I like to do and didn't keep doing what I didn't like to do as much, but I still had a good time trying. Um, and my last piece of advice is to not just much, um, like I was really upset because I was like, Oh, no, like, I'm not getting into that school I wanted, like like, this is not what I was thinking was what happened, like I'm just gonna have to go to, like, all my safety schools. Like you're not having, like, luck because that's really what the college admissions process is, it's all luck. It's completely look like yes, your grades and your activities matter up to a certain point. That's really just the threshold for them to even, like be like Oh, okay, put them in the, um, in the numbers. Even if you don't get in, it's not necessarily your fault. If you go to school and you end up not liking that school, you could always transfer like it's difficult process. It's It's not the end of the world if you don't get into your top choice.
