I like this. Can you ask the students to give specific information about their preparation?

Can my daughter get more detailed advice from any of these college students? She will be applying to colleges next year.

Hi Zirana! I saw your channel and knew I was asking the right person this question. Anyways, I am extremely set on attending Stanford University since I began 8th grade. I maintained a 4.0 freshman year, while playing Varsity Tennis. That was in a school in Hawaii. My dad got promoted in his job and we moved to Phoenix. The move threw off my momentum and I started the first semester of my sophomore year terribly. I am now averaging a (C) in Algebra II Honors, a (B) in Biology Honors, an (A) in Eng II Honors, and an (A-) in foreign language. To me, this is terrible, considering my ideal school is Stanford. I am still playing Varsity tennis every spring by the way. I am now ending the first semester of my sophomore year, which is terrible. I know and plan to do much better second semester, but do you think I still have a chance to be accepted into Stanford. Plz Help me! Please help me get a good understanding of my chances of being accepted, and what I can do to increase those chances. Thanks very MUCH! smilies/cheesy.gif

This is great! It would be nice to get a few more Latino and African American student perspectives as well. Also, graduate students would be a great addition.
