Thank you guys for all the comments on my college decision reaction video. They were incredibly sweet and made me feel very uwu.
I realized that I never explained the Cornelius Vanderbilt scholarship, so here we go. It's a merit-based scholarship for full tuition + research stipend, and to apply there's a required 500 word scholarship essay where they ask what made you want to major in your selected major.
I have no way to know what actually got me in, and whatever got me in is not the only way to go. Go with your gut and chase the things you enjoy.
One more thing, none of this was done strictly on my own. I've been incredibly privileged and lucky to have parents, teachers, and friends who've supported me (if y'all r watching, ehhe thank u ilysm).
I hope this video was helpful to y'all. If you guys have questions, I'll try to be as helpful as I can : ). Anywhoo, thanks for watching! stay safe/home if you can + I'll see ya in the next one ; )
Edit: I'm a clown and forgot I put music composition as an EC in place of HOSA on my Vandy app. Aiya.

The fact that you‘re hella smart and do so many extracurriculars... we stan 🤩
-
damn you’re actually a genius 😓

As rising senior looking at this, I’m now wishing that I went out and looked at more extra curriculars just to venture out and see what I liked (seeing as my test scores are poor/low). Thanks for the college prep content stuffs! I just found your channel but definitely subbing for more—it oddly stresses but motivates me to keep going and see where I go for college.
-

IDK how you were denied from Stanford. From all the videos I've seen of people who were accepted, you are very comparable.
-
In short to get accepted you have to be really smart, talented and amazing
