  • College is an $80 cheeseburger.

  • haha University of Spoiled Children....or the University of Sucking Cocks

  • Why is the guy in this video? He contributes nothing but useless sports info. Why is he there?

  • @OriginalRipndip

    (Because he's the best host on TYT)

  • The benefit of getting a well known person to write you a letter is that it makes your application stand out. That's really important for when someone one on the admissions board is looking at the hundredth application for that day. It will make them remember you and at least subconsciously improve their opinion of you.

  • europian politics u stupid idiot

  • @beachboys1992 ? its ap european history.

  • @meggaiwa well if u watch the whole hour from the start then u will understand what i was saying....there was a girl studying europian politics in europe and ANA was talking about her and got her course wrong every time she mentioned her

  • @beachboys1992 Oh that one, sorry. I watched it, but didn't notice it. Again, sorry, my mistake!

  • AP Euro FTW!

  • I had a 3.9, 1230 SAT, took difficult classes, and was committed to few extracurriculars, and excelled at each activity I was involved in. A girl I knew had a 4.0, 1130 SAT, and was involved in every extra curricular activity available (stretching herself thin), and took pretty easy classes. She got into Brown. I didn't. Why? She knew the State Senator and I did not. So, yes, it can matter if a famous or important person knows you.

  • I wish European History was a class in my high school. It's either US history or half-assed world history.

  • Guys check out bens softball story on tytsports

  • I thought that reading was the most important ?

  • dasdsd

  • since i'm ahead two years in math, and one year in science, i didn't bother to take honors this year. i'm taking ap/ib next year.

  • @SangtotheDy take IB, i take IB

  • @jimmyfeitelberg they only offer IB at my school so i will. i just wrote AP in case some people didn't know what IB is.

  • lol...AP classes are the reason my GPA wasn't lower. I tend to not try at all (i.e. do any homework) when I'm not challenged. If it wasn't for tests, I probably would have gotten Cs or Ds in half of my HS classes. Since I found AP classes more challenging, I almost always got As or high Bs in them.

  • Sigh My parents are too rich so I didn't get anything as it is but at the same time I can't afford to pay for college either.........

  • @34601k

    yea middle class isn't allowed to go to college you're destined to be poor as shit!!!! /sarcasm

    Look into schools in Europe, also look into schools in other countries in which their gov't sponsors foreign students. /real talk

  • 1. I only applied to one college. It was a state college, though, and I more than qualified.

    2. Hell, I was counting on financial aid. There's no way I could have even considered going without it.

    3. Never thought I was special...

    4. That took me by surprise. Luckily I was lazy and didn't have a lot on there.

    5. I thought this too, but I took difficult classes and had a high GPA...

    6. Didn't have to write an essay lol.

    7. Didn't know anyone remotely famous. Non-issue for me.

  • Holy shit I am glad I live in the netherlands...

    government pays for your entire college as long as it takes you less than 5 years (college takes 4 so you got 1 repeat year) and you can choose which ever college you like and which ever subjects you like and no extra this or whatever.. I just went to school never did anything special and I am getting bachelors of ICT now.

  • @brace110 Unfair man.

  • @brace110 Holy shit I wish I lived in the Netherlands...

  • @brace110

    what if I do a dual degree program that takes 5 years?

  • @lordblazer You mean work and study or do two study's

    if you mean 2 study's you only have to pay for one but I don't think you get money so you will need to pay around 1500 euros each year

    if you mean work and study I also don't think you get the money but your work would often pay for your school and you would get money as salary as well.

  • Is European history regarded a difficult subject *sigh*! Yes, I am a European and I find this quite hilarious :D

  • @buugiman78 I thought that was kind of odd too. But it's probably a lot easier for a European since you grow up in that culture, hear names of kings and random bits of history in conversation. Americans mostly learn about American history (all 400 years of it) and don't have a lot of exposure to European events, so it's a little harder to keep straight.

  • Wait how does Ana know these things?

  • Any advice for people looking to enter graduate school?

  • @mistacramer Depends what you want to go for. If it is a hard science get your research in.

  • Heres a strategy I saw a bunch of people using: citing their Mexican great-aunt-once removed as the reason they should qualify for minority scholarships.

  • ana ive been in college 2 years and i have written no essays for any of my classes. it depends on your major.

  • I would say, and this at least for graduate school, having a letter of recommendation from someone who is very influential in the field that you're applying to does help a lot.

  • im in engineering no essays LOL

  • @TheBigBear41

    I applied for OSU 9in oklahoma) when I was in Highschool, and for computer engineering, I had to write an essay before I was admitted, but I never enrolled. In fact went to OU instead, and had a much better time. OSU is a bit racist not the institution as much as the location of Stillwater. I have a few friends who said its very conformist area. But I spent 3 years out of 5 of my undergraduate overseas. Earned two degrees. Sooo I definitely enjoyed college.

  • @TheBigBear41 I love being an engineering major!! EE majors rock! we get to have fun building circuits and programming. no long essays and books to read!

  • @TheNova5 yeah man im in 1st yer eng and i love it but its alot of work...im thinking about going civil or chemical

  • I hate to say this, but I didn't have to worry about the admission process and whether or not I was going to be accepted because my school (University of Texas) automatically accepts students who were in the top 10% of their high school class.

  • robot??? you mean people who do well in technical / scientific courses dont know how to think or write. in high school i had an A in English every year, studied math in university (my math martkls were A+). some marginal students in high school went on to study english or other arts courses. its not that they were good in english it was they weren;t good in these other subjects and englih / arts was the only choice other than working checkout (though some did that after graduating)

  • Student loan debt is the fastest growing debt in the country. The government is fucking college students in the ass, and this debt is non-bankruptable. It's insane how much college costs now, especially for graduate or professional school.

  • @MaicoMoon

    I am going to work in Japan for a year, and save up atleast 20k so I can do graduate school in Norway, and I will have the funds to show that I can live there without assistance. I will only pay 68 euros per semester. its basically tuition free. Wanna study International Environment and Energy Law. It's the next hot field to go into. especially as the ice caps melt, and exploration for oil expands. global warming is my life saver possibly. If I can survive a 9.0 earthquake I'm good

  • Tip: You can hire a professional to help you with those admissions essays. ;-)

  • ap euro was a seriously difficult class

  • Whoo hoo! Go Sun Devils!

  • Actually Ana what you say is, "I wasn't very good, but what I enjoyed was the experience to be on a team and the friendships I made while on it."

  • I completely disagree with the hard classes versus high GPA comment. Almost every scholarship requires a certain class rank or GPA to apply. So if you "challenge" yourself and get a C in an AP class, it is worse than getting an A in the regular in those cases. A 4.0 isn't the most important thing, but a higher GPA (and class rank) is important in the grand scheme of things.

  • You know who went to UCLA, THE DOORS! Top that USC.

  • I had very little strategy when applying to schools (as far as "safety" and "reach" schools were concerned). I was just like...oh this school accepts the common app and so does this one and so does this one, etc...and I referred to the Princeton Review and student review sites quite often. It all worked out in the end. I also poured a lot of work into my essay.

  • I'll tell you what to do...

    Play Football, Basketall, or Volleyball(if you're a girl), get full-ride scholarship, fuck bitches, get money and profit......

  • alexandra wallace is another problem with ucla

  • best idea is to apply as undecided, never decide on application

  • i have a college admission myth. Is it true that out of state students are more likely to become accepted then students who would pay instate tuition? maybe some universities are more greedy?

  • essay's don't mean jack shit when you want to be in academia and are writing technical papers.

    I haven't written anything close to an english paper since high school. The only ones that I have written are research papers.

  • @Murmedon Essays mean quite a bit if one is applying to liberal arts colleges and other writing-intensive institutions.

  • @Murmedon You're wrong. Even if all you are writing is technical papers, your ability to write well shows in your writing. Certainly not as much if you were writing a short story or something similar, but even with tech papers you can easily see who has experience writing, and who doesn't.

  • @MasauFuku The ability to write a technical paper is completely different than writing an English essay. I've edited numerous materials science papers and I can tell you that there is a completely different technique to it.

  • @Murmedon How can you say there is a different technique to it if you haven't written anything close to an English paper since HS?

    In essence, both an entrance essay and a research paper are argumentative in nature (usually). Yes, the content differs drastically, but the general, goal, format and style don't. Being able to argue well in an entrance essay bodes well for most fields, not just essay heavy ones.

  • @MasauFuku You go and tell yourself that.

  • @Murmedon

    technical paper, English lit essays, even writing for political science differs. I remember I couldn't adjust to the writing style of history majors. Poli Sci and international affairs and economics are areas in which you really don't BS. you walk the fine line between qualitative and quantitative.Less BS the better (words and sentences written just to fill in space). But I had a history professor that was relentless and pissed that I analyzed things as a poli sci major XD

  • Ana playing softball? After hearing her talk about that, I'd like to see that.

  • Strategies that worked for me: 1. 5-5-5 Strategy - 5 dream schools, 5 decent, 5 safety, 2. Always send your applications to safeties first and try to improve your essays & interview prep each time - by the time you get to dream school applications, you will be very experienced, 3. Get one letter of recommendation from a teacher who knows you really well, and another from someone who is more influential/well-known, 4. Best Extra-curricular combos are 1 sport, 1 performance/fine art, 1 charity.

  • Im here for more Ana.

  • I'm in journalism too :) Carleton University

  • I had all Honor/AP classes pretty much, and 0 extra c. activities.

  • if you put something that you tried down then you could say that you tried it out and that you put it down to let people know you are into trying different things and then if you dont like it you still stick with it and put that type of spin on it

  • i only applyed to one college and i liked that one and i didnt want to go to college at all and dont feel bad that i did go i liked it i just wish i didnt go at the time i did i wish i did have some time inbetween and this is a ha bisky upload

  • im amazed at the stupidity of the first 5-6 comments...

  • @Renegade23456 I feel your pain.

  • @Renegade23456 im happy this was a top comment, otherwise i never would have went to the first 5-6 comments and had a nice laugh! :D

  • I think people dont realize that Private College tuitions are misleading. Yes it is higher but they often give you instant grants to help you. Plus the Fasfa can be a life saver for students. I think the most important stats about paying for college are the Default Rate (meaning how many kids cant afford their loans) and the Indebtedness at Graduation (How much money do you owe to the school in total).

  • Comment removed

  • I masturbate a lot.

  • @Thirsty4Jizz dont we all?
