Transcripts
I bet you guys are gonna be like what
the heck it's just a summer program you
know what I don't care okay so if you
don't know you young global scholars is
a summer program at you guessed it Yale
and it has like a 20 percent acceptance
rate
I was recently accepted to the Applied
Science and Engineering a session and I
thought it was might be useful to share
what I put on my application because on
the internet like on college
confidential I've been getting like a
lot of messages asking me how I got in
and stuff so I'm gonna look at what I
put on my application I'm just gonna be
reading from here and I'll also be
reading my essays as well so for the
whole application I can't speak they
asked you to they asked you to put in
like your transcript which you have to
ask your counselor I think to put that
in I just asked my counselor and also
you need to less a recommendation for
that I asked my physics teacher and also
my counselor so I basically gave my
resume and just highlighted sections I
wanted my counselor to highlight in the
recommendation letter I was so surprised
when I got accepted um q the screen with
the confetti on it
there two other people who got accepted
honestly their activities like their
eces extracurriculars in case you didn't
know we're like I was here that you were
like there and my essays
we're like they look just fine I didn't
think they're like outstanding or
anything so again like I was really
surprised that I got in for the activity
section you got to put in I think maybe
up to three activities I'm not I don't
actually remember it was like December
when I got accepted and I felt in my
obligation in November but anyway for
the two activities that I put in the
first one was like it was this activity
called the social enterprise which is
where like my friends and I we started
to like campaigns to do single-use and
now I'm also working on an initiative to
reduce food waste around my school the
other activity was me collaborating also
with my friends to organize like stem
competitions in my school and we
organized like quite a lot last year and
it has like it was quite a big part of
my year 11 or a sophomore career oh and
by the way I'm a junior I should have
said that earlier but yeah for the
awards like I did not have any like Oh
national champion of like I don't know
science Olympian I our school doesn't
even have Science Olympiad so um I
basically just put my school awards
which was upper secondary social
sciences award which is really sad
because I applied to a stem session but
I put it down anyway because I had like
this many awards the other one was award
for basically being it was off in the
class which is like I mean I'm not
complaining but ya know I'm gonna talk
about
I really should have prepared a script
for this now I'm gonna talk about my
stats yes so before I go to kind of like
British school so we have IGCSE and now
I'm doing I be so I GCSE East four years
is ten to eleven which is great
ten grades nine to ten and IB which I'm
in my first year of his four years
twelve to thirteen or grades eleven to
twelve on my report card for the most
recent semester which was my year 11
second semester I got straight-a stars
which that was like the first time I
don't usually get straight-a stars so
that's basically like a plus I think so
I think that might have helped as well
and my teachers comments are also pretty
positive so yeah let's get into the
essays which is probably the most
important part of the application not
just for like summer programs but also
for college applications
so I mean well I literally worked on
these essays for I don't know like an
hour I'm like I looked at them for like
20 seconds and submitted it like I I
feel like I should have maybe spent more
time working on them but whatever so
let's read my essays the first essay is
500 words long and he's the prompt
so when planning this I basically like
scroll through all the pages on the
largest website which I'll link in the
description below it was like really
helpful it was really informative cuz
they were asking for how I would be a
great fit for the program so I had to
focus on where their features and mine
intersect and overlap basically let's
start reading why would I like to
participate in why ygs the answer is
obvious I love learning not only in the
classroom but with an applied approach
which combines all styles from lectures
to discussions to projects with the
unanimous aim of cultivating globally
aware leaders I'm intrigued by the ygs
community and I would love to hear
stories young people my age have to
share from their schools families
backgrounds and everything in between
it would be an eye-opening experience
for me to meet people from every part of
the world and learn about their
experiences which would undoubtedly be
different to mine I'm grateful that in
my school students are encouraged to
think global act local and strive to
become better global citizens each day
it is this mantra that pushes me to
venture out of my comfort zone and
undertake activities that make my school
community a better place throughout my
high school career I have led and
participated in numerous student-led
initiatives
beginning with stop single-use Shanghai
which aims to reduce single-use plastic
in our school we students participated
in a global issues network conference to
share our ideas and action plans like
selling reusable cutlery pouches and
campaign posters and discuss other
global issues linked with the u.s. UN
sustainable development goals SDGs with
students from all parts of the world
stemming from my passion for stem no pun
intended
that's cringe eaf my peers and I
organized stem competitions for
secondary students
I mean priceless experience from
participating and I also helped others
in this park of interest when they took
part in our competitions and to know
that you have incited interests in
interest in young aspiring
mathematicians like yourself is
incredibly rewarding this year I was
chosen to be a prefect a role model for
students that promotes the UN SDGs
I recently gave a presentation and a
whole school assembly raising awareness
of goal sixteen peace justice and strong
institutions I received a merit and
learner profile thinker Award nomination
for this because I quote quotation marks
delivered a thought-provoking
presentation and engaged my audience to
quote my teacher I hope to gain
inspiration for how to better
incorporate these SDGs in their everyday
learning from participating in why ygs
so I can bring a greater impact on my
school community besides leading various
initiatives I'm an avid communicator in
class unafraid to question anything and
express my opinions in ygs is diverse
community with students coming from all
over the world with unimaginable
experiences I believe my contributions
from my international background will be
invaluable moreover as someone living in
China spending two weeks in the u.s. we
incredibly foreign to me so I'm grateful
for the inclusion ygs brings accepting
every person for who they are regardless
of their background I truly believe I
belong in this company as my values of
learning for the sake of it giving back
to others and taking action to achieve
global goals aligned perfectly with
those of my ideas so that was the first
essay and honestly
um well after I got accepted and I was
like whoa like did I do something like
really good and I was looking back
reading on that say I was like this is
really bad because I was like watching
some videos about why why Gia's and some
of the accepted applicants or saying how
they they found what they found hardest
about the application was having to
write the required narrative essay I
just like freaked out like I did read a
narrative essay that they like I said
the wrong person but I think that may
have been one good thing in that like I
did choose to stick to a narrative essay
which is what most college essays like
asked for well not expensive
they don't explicitly ask for narrative
essays but those tend to be the most
successful ones and therefore the most
common ones I think but I chose to just
basically list my kind of my
accomplishments and like why I do what I
do in school and what I find meaningful
and I think that might have helped
because the structure was very logical
and I think that might have matched like
by choosing the science session because
it's very you know scientific I think
yeah like otherwise I don't know why the
application readers might have thought
this was really good but that's just
what my two cents are here the fast
takes which are basically really short
responses that are limited 140
characters you found these are really
hard to write because I didn't realize
how little 140 characters was so the
first one was if you could design a
semester long course at your high school
what would what would it be called um I
gave a really generic answer but anyway
a course that teaches life skills such
as how to negotiate in the workplace or
cooking as these will benefit us as
adults in the future
honestly like anyone can write that I
don't know why I did that
but next if you could have dinner with
anyone living or deceased who would it
be and why
Richard Friedman from what I've read
from his two biographies he seems like
an intriguing insanely intelligent
happy-go-lucky person I quite like my
answer because I really do like like
admire Richard Feynman like if you don't
know like I just in this response I said
he has two biographies you should go
read them they're like a really funny
here's the last thing which is 200 words
we want to learn more about your
background beliefs values and or the
important people in your life please
tell us something that has influenced
you and articulate how it has shaped you
again you could say that this is kind of
like cliche maybe but I tried to put my
own twist in it kind of you see as a
young girl of age six i associated
playing the piano with tedious work fast
forward 10 years 8 ABRSM exams and the
same number of distinctions later I've
grown to love playing the piano for how
significantly it has influenced me I
hated practicing why was it that while
my friends could play video games or
hangout I had to spend that hour moping
of the piano striking keys that only
brought ugly distance yet gradually as I
mastered technique after technique I
learned the importance of practicing
practice makes perfect
they say but I never believed it until I
heard it with my very own ears as a
result I learned value of hard work and
now strive every day to become more
diligent in my studies
furthermore as I become more expressive
in playing sonatas and stern shows the
shy 10 year old introvert was replaced
by a confident young leader I'm now
comfortable with expressing myself not
just artistically but in everyday life
establishing my unique identity I don't
put on a pledge unapologetically I'm
incredibly grateful for all the lessons
playing the piano has talking about
living life yeah that was it those were
all my essays for this one anyone can
write about playing an instrument and
how it has influenced them I basically I
don't know I just talked about because
it was because the story's just my own
so I think maybe you probably felt like
genuine for them like when when the
admissions officer application reader I
don't know what they're called when
they're reading my essay they probably
maybe they could see my voice I'm
guessing I'm guessing like I'm legit do
not know at all why they accepted me but
I'm grateful anyway after reading my
essays
here are some tips I guess for your
application when you apply for the
summer of 2021 first if there is one
definitely apply early action so 2020
which is the summer which I'll be going
to for a while Jess this is the first
time they opened an early action
deadline basically and from what I'm
gauging like I think the acceptance week
while they say oh it's not going to give
you an advantage but like again for
colleges like even if they have early
action people usually say to apply early
action because you usually get an
advantage like the acceptance rates are
higher and also you get to know your
decision sooner second is like don't
force anything in your essays honestly
other people that I I saw who work
subdued they had like a lot more
impressive like stats extracurriculars
but I just like make sure my voice shown
through the essays and I think that's
what helped me get in because like I'm
not like a gold medal champion whatever
whatever like obviously like I was those
people are like really good and they
honestly deserve acceptance is for to
like release look do summer programs but
that doesn't mean people like me but
like that's that's I can't get in okay
maybe not bad stats but like very not
very good eces and okay ish essays I
mean you could say the same for a
college application essays but don't
don't try to force what you think they
the application readers want to see in
your essay just you do you basically
thanks for watching I guess I really
really can't wait to go to ygs and
you're also going to allow a GIS in 2020
be sure to like I don't know reach out
maybe comment if you want honestly I
don't even know if I'm gonna upload this
on youtube because I'm lazy AF and I
like my editing skills are actually like
so I don't know in the chance that I do
upload this on youtube and make it
public
please maybe like in comment if you're
coming as well and let me know which
session you're attending so and also if
you want you can join our Instagram
group chats for ygs and just follow me
