i hope this video is helpful. not just as advice for future applicants, but for those who already survived the process. college admissions are a messy process at the elite level, so i hope this video can be help reframe your mindset. colleges can't tell you whether you are "good enough." you will always be a valuable and worthy human.

getting rejected doesn't make you lesser than. getting in doesn't make you superior. take it from someone who got into a fancy name school, and who knows many fantastic people who didn't and crappy people who did.

anyways, good luck with college applications to any current high school students. and to all, good luck with your future educational endeavors!
