HOW I PICKED THE PERFECT SCHOOL | Why I Chose to ED UChicago

What’s up tanners!

If you are struggling between schools to pick, or how to choose a school to Early Decision / Early Action / Restrictive Early Action, this video is for you!!

In this video I talk through my main criteria for choosing a school, before going through every single school on my top list and why I did NOT end up picking these schools. As I mentioned, this video is mainly geared towards international students, especially those applying from Asia / China.

This video does NOT include the “hard” research (classes, programs, study abroad, major requirements, credit conversion from IB and AP, etc), but rather talks more about softer metrics that I think are much more difficult to find! If you’re someone who has done a lot of research into specific schools and would like a second opinion, here’s mine :)

Unless you are American (and sometimes even if you are), universities often put applicants in the same location into the same “selection pool”, before deciding which of these students get put through to the next round. This is why it’s quite important to consider your “pool”. (A fun exception are schools like Shanghai/Singapore American School, which are considered applicants from the US even though they’re not physically in the US).

Of course this is different for every university, but I’ve spoken to admissions offers from around 3-4 good schools and this seems to be the norm!!

If you were curious, here was my full school application list that I wrote applications to: Brown, Dartmouth, Northwestern, Duke, JHU, Harvard, Stanford, UPenn, Yale, MIT, Columbia, and of course, UChicago

*Of course I ended up getting into UChicago ED, so all of my applications were never submitted!*

‼️BLACK LIVES MATTER, even though the protests seem to be no longer a "hot topic" and social media coverage is decreasing. The problem is NOT solved, our attention span has simply lapsed.

I try not to talk politics on this channel (follow my ig if you want my thoughts) -- but this is beyond "political". This is a legitimate hazard and disaster for society.

Here are some resources for you to help: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co
