@petermcginnes: Finally (kind of) making my most requested video. Instead of just sharing my stats and ecs, I thought it would be much more helpful to just share my general mindset going into the process. Sorry for the lack of posting recently - finals season is upon me once again 🥲 #collegeadvice #collegeapps #statsandecs #stanford #harvard
Thank you so much, I just found out that your application narrative and how you present yourself is really important and this video just popped

I love the way you approached the request for this video !! So many people fall into that fixation of comparison when they see people’s stats online, myself as an example, and it was a really nice change to see some more genuine personal thoughts into your college app decisions! 💗 I’m also interested in mental health advocacy. Are you able to do a more in-depth video about that passion project? Like how you started your research and then applied it to tangible actions :)? I’m applying to my Mayor Youth’s Council & wanting to make a similar impact to my community! I just don’t know how to push my ideas out in a more rural city. 🥹

Good tips. Being well into my career and having gone to a state school, I’d also say, don’t worry too much about what school you get into. College is what you put into it, and your career is what you put into it. 💯 respect for those that get into a very prestigious school, but you can do great getting into a less prestigious school and putting a lot into it.
