Hey guys!
So this video is a bit longer than my other videos but my sister and I talk about our stats and extracurricular activities that played a part in getting into our respective schools!
My sister is a rising senior at Northwestern University and I am a rising sophomore at the University of Michigan. We talk about what our SAT/ACT scores were, what sports we were involved in, what clubs we were a part of, what kind of volunteering we had done, and also some advice in order to, hopefully, decrease your stress about applying to colleges!
If you guys have any questions, comments, or concerns, put them down in the comment section and will try to answer your questions to the best of our abilities or at least try to provide you guys with some resources.
