That example you gave of all the challenges the kid might have faced if he went to that "dangerous" public school where the parents were worried about his safety (wrong peer group, people doing bad things around the kid, etc) are all the reasons why ivies making sure to admit such kids is so important. A kid who gets through all of that, recognizes why it's a problem and ESPECIALLY if they've done things to improve that community, deserves all the clout and the position at the ivy over the kid with a 1530 who didn't have to overcome those challenges. And then what are the chances the kid with the 1530 from a different community comes back to take a positive leadership role in the aforementioned "dangerous" community in comparison to the 1350 kid?

Hello, I am a rising senior with legacy to Stanford. I've heard from some sources that choosing to apply RD to Stanford rather than applying REA would actually result in a net negative in regards to my admissions chances. Would this be a fair reason to apply REA, amongst others?

my law school in a few years, hopefully

☘️❤️☘️❤️☘️❤️. Do you have a “how to get into ND” video coming? Based on your last video, I am guessing applying restrictive EA would not be one of the tips.

Great video as usual. Very informative.

Craig- GREAT COMMENTARY. Boys are brainwashed they are 'TOXIC' for being born male, so no wonder so many want to be trans now. We live in a sick society where everything good is bad and bad is good. Kudos to you for bringing up this subject!

Thanks for the video Craig. Quick follow up - if you apply to a restrictive early action school and get deferred are you then able to apply to another school later in the process as Early Decision II or do those restrictions follow through the entire process with the original application at those REA schools? Thanks for all the great content you produce.

Craig, love your videos and agree with almost all of this one although I had to watch it twice to keep it all straight. I am wondering about the ND conclusion, and if I'm wrong, I will yield to your knowledge on the matter. But from what I can find on the ND site, they admitted 1724 of 11498 REA applicants in Dec. So 15% of applicants. And for RD in March, they admitted 1600 of 18445 applicants, so 8.7%. That tells me two things, one is that the admit rate is quite a bit higher for REA. And also that they're filling half their class with REA. Maybe more if you assume a healthy yield for REA. Am I missing something there? ND is really high on our list, so this one is kind of important to us.

Losing hope because my junior year grades tanked. Could I redeem myself with senior year grades?

Boys being told to go to community college instead of prestigious institutions.

Although males in general are not as strong as females with expressive language, self-reflection at this age for both boys and girls is not well developed. Experiential learning experiences are important across applicants. Curious if you have looked at the definition of 'red-blooded American men?' The Cambridge Dictionary defines them as '... someone who seems full of confidence or sexual energy.' There are various parts of the application process that are more advantageous to one group over another. This is why a holistic review of applications is important.

wow, I didn't think that I would see a video about the application for Oxy, my alma mater

I can only speak from my experience, and this is from someone who is currently a PhD student, there are a lot of problems with academia. I didn't start college until I was 39, so for most of my adult life I was not a college graduate, and I earn really good money, when I say really good I earn within the top 10% of Americans, and did it with zero college education. In fact at this point I've made almost nothing from my college education, I went to college for something new, and it was 100% paid for. I've never taken an entrance exam, ACT, SAT, or GRE. It just wasn't necessary. A lot of younger men I know are just not seeing college as necessary, and again from my experience, just a few weeks ago I sat in my lab at my university and listened to three women speak very poorly of men, right in front of me, I've only experienced this attitude towards men at college, and it is everywhere. I work full time as well, my boss is a woman, half my co-workers are women, and none of them talk about men the way I have heard women in academia speak about men. I also think that going to college doesn't equal intelligence. My dad is one of the most intelligent men I have ever known, and he has never sat in a college classroom. For the money you pay, the return in many cases is just not worth it now.

For ivy league schools, all standard test scores don't matter, only need your color, race and liberal political ideas.

Omg!! Thank you soooo much!

That's not the only way to look at the benefits of such recognition. Not everybody is shooting for the Ivy League schools. For a kid with limited funds, there are a lot of public and private universities offering generous scholarships (sometimes a full ride) for National Merit Scholars.

Endowment is $260M...they should be able to weather the storm?

Interesting.

Things are looking up then. The free market at work.

Emerson is a competitive college to be admitted to. There is a demographic cliff somewhere, whereby there were simply less children born and therefore, less students to educate. Critical to keep an eye on the enrollment figures as they are released in the coming weeks to see if what happened at Emerson is part of a wider trend.

As someone who has a Ph.D. from UCSD and as someone who is (a white-ethnic) from the lower working class, I can say I am disgusted by this video complaining about the supposed discrimination against rich people.

You bio says you worked at the admissions office at UPenn. Was that as an admissions officer?

It’s unfair because ECs take money. : (

Great video! Can you please do a video on National merit and what that may mean for college admissions - like if it gives any kind of boost?

im college meisters #1 fan!!

Please compare ucsd and uc davis!

Seems like the corporate world treats men much the same way. It's an extension of everything we experience in the education system.

At this point kids are doing more of a favor for these colleges than colleges are doing for these kids. Colleges aren't helping most students get jobs or pay back their loans, but they're picking kids that they think are most likely to be famous (if they're not already). The most selective colleges pick a lot of kids that are so successful and rich by the time they get to campus that they arguably don't even need the school.

Thanks Craig, I was talking to my son about this topic yesterday.

Probably could’ve been a RUclips short 😂

It's 100,300 actually. I got in with full (I mean, FULL) financial aid. They also pay my airplane tickets as I'm an international student, plus around 3k for books and personal expenses, and 6k for internships, research, summer abroad, or another academic experience of my election. If you have a good profile and decent application, studying at Vanderbilt can be free. Don't complain about the cost if your kid's profile and application are mediocre.

Thank you for addressing this. Some people think this “could never happen”

Thank you for this video! Is it possible to find a list of the 400 colleges? I'm curious about UF and other Florida schools.

what would you say about UT Austin? Do they care alot about extracurriculars as a TRANSFER?

These colleges have to deflect away from objective metrics so that they can better justify tilting to scales in favor of less qualified applicants. Also, it will help them identify the woke crusaders in the applicant pool so they can move them to the front of the line (see David Hogg getting into Harvard with mediocre academic credentials).

Great video! Could you make a video about whether or not to submit AP scores (including if taking 10+ AP courses). Is submitting AP scores optional or required? What’s considered strong AP scores for Ivy League/top universities?

That should not be any out-of-state tuition because most people can’t afford it specially to pour minority students. I think it’s somewhat of discrimination.

I play a sport and an instrument. I was thinking of submitting an arts portfolio to show my guitar work and maybe including some sport photos in my video. Do I need to make an online presence?

You are absolutely correct about this! I intuited this during the college admission process for my daughter. One thing you didn’t mention is that they are also working for the school big donors because they need to make sure the donors kids also get into the college of their choice, especially if they are good students but not in the top 10.

In some degree, college admission is to compete against your peers for a good school.

I am a Internacional student i have 2.8 gpa in 9 h grade and 4.0 gpa ?? Whag should I do give up

They are crabs in a bucket.

hey sry to repeat myself.. but could you make a video on how to write descriptions for the college common app extra carricullars section... i was discussign this with my friends and i thiunk they would find this helpful

While a little tertiary to your point, the problem with the essay portions of the SAT and ACT was the reliability of the measure. With apologies that it's just our experience, outside of the service academies, we have found very few colleges that will even consider it for that reason.

I agree with you. Finding your true voice is the key because that’s how you sell yourself best.

first

Well said! Red blooded American men and women 💪🏻💪🏻❤️

I am working the process with my daughter... but I have often thought -- there is no way my sporty son (few years behind) would put up with the current day admissions game... starting a non-profit isn't even on his radar.

UF has a grandparents waiver I’m excited about

St Mary's College in St Mary's County, Maryland allows Washington DC residents to pay a lower tuition than other out of state residents (it is still more than Maryland State resident tuition) St Mary's has it on their website.
