Advice to Prospective Students!

The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.

I'm just going to give your prospectors to been some advice, and I'm going to give you guys a little insight. Tio What I wish I knew when I was applying to Columbia and some advice that I would give my senior self, so the first piece of advice would definitely be to not compare yourself to others. I know that it's so easy to just weigh yourself down because you're looking at other student's accomplishments and not even recognizing your own. You have to make sure you're confident in your abilities and your intellect. You have to make sure confident that you'd be able to contribute to a campus like Columbia in order to get there. So no matter what focus on you, focus on making your own goals. Don't look at other people schools because that only weigh you down my second tip or advice to prospect. Reach out to individuals who have already gone through the application process, and that's probably why you're on this video and my previous videos. I just think that reaching out tio individuals who have already gone through the process especially if they attend the institution. Take off some stress, relieve you of that anxiety of just being answer in and not knowing the process so well. For a first generation students, congratulations are just being you and being able to go through this process yourself, definitely reach out to other first and students to gather support. My third piece of advice would definitely to challenge yourself my whole academic career. As a high school student, I just dedicated myself to challenging myself with different topics, different subjects that I was a really comfortable with, like physics AP talc. Although my grades weren't the highest in those classes, I really felt like I did myself some good By taking this class is show in Colombia that I wasn't only able to be really great and humanities courses, but I was able to challenge myself and do that in other courses. So I think it's all about challenging yourself at your own pace. You know what you can handle, and if you can show Colombia that you're able to handle a lot of different subjects, that you're well rounded and you're able to take on the challenges you'LL be just fine. Some advice I give to my senior self would just definitely be to be more open about thie transitioning process from a high school student to a college student. I definitely didn't expect it to be so hard, so difficult transitioning into this college world s o. I definitely would just let myself know that it's OK. Tio transition at my own pace. Just ask for help when I need it and reach out to individuals. Have resources to help you if you're looking for a rigorous but very, very fun and enriching experience. Definitely think about applying to come the university. If it wasn't for a small undergraduate school that gives you intimate discussion spaces and also large lectures and, of course gives you access to many, many fun opportunities in New York City. Definitely consider applying to Columbia University, and I hope you guys apply, and I hope you guys get it.
