| Video Discription | Internet Analysis: the college application process is hyper-competitive, unfair, and unhealthy. Thanks to today's sponsor, Amino! Please download the app and watch my series, Life After High School! https://aminoapps.onelink.me/4eRt/tiffanyferg3 // Thumbnail artwork: center animation of student and college campus by Vivian Shih for NPR, juggling artwork on the left came from (https://mor.news/2019/01/24/stretched-too-thin/) but the artist wasn't named. #internetanalysis #collegeadmissions #highschool TIME STAMPS: 0:00 - intro 1:37 - all students are told they need a bachelor's degree to be successful 2:03 - shout out to today's sponsor, Amino 2:56 - what exactly is expected of students to be considered "competitive" ? highest possible GPA, as many advanced courses as possible, and tons of extracurricular activities 4:36 - your family income level and where you live definitely impact your ability to be a competitive applicant. socioeconomic factors add additional obstacles 5:53 - sharing my perspective - living in an affluent area as a low income, first generation college student, taking advanced / AP courses 7:59 - it's crazy to expect all students to be perfect and well-rounded 8:50 - I also want to address accessibility and privilege. Quality education and certain opportunities aren't available to everyone 9:31 - where do these high standards and pressures come from? self, society, and parents. for example: TIGER MOMS! 10:55 - let's talk about GPA and how APs raise a weighted GPA. Top students these days aim for GPAs close to 5.0. 13:06 - access to AP scores is very unequal. There are income and race gaps in advanced courses 14:42 - grade inflation is also a thing!! private and suburban public high schools are awarding higher grades (while SAT scores have actually gone down) 17:54 - let's talk about SAT and ACT testing, and the privilege of college prep 20:12 - extracurriculars!! gotta balance a dozen activities to make yourself look well-rounded! students feel compelled to spend every spare moment doing something productive, for the sake of creating an "impressive" college application 23:08 - if you're not the strongest academically, though, ECs can help boost your application 24:34 - CONTENT WARNING, self-harm and su*cide (censoring in case youtube's algorithm tries to automatically demonetize / flag this video) -- there are real dangers of being overworked, especially as a high school student SOURCES: Do You Have A 'Tiger Mom'? | NBC Asian America, video - https://youtu.be/mrUgCe4e7t4 Access to AP courses often elusive for low-income students - https://ctmirror.org/2018/05/14/advanced-placement-debate-open-closed-gate/ The Two Most Important College-Admissions Criteria Now Mean Less - https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2018/05/college-admissions-gpa-sat-act/561167/ Silicon Valley, Palo Alto article - https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/12/the-silicon-valley-suicides/413140/ ♥ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tferg__/ ♥ Twitter: https://twitter.com/tiffanytheprez ♥ My Podcast, Previously Gifted: http://bit.ly/previouslygifted ♥ Vlog Channel: http://bit.ly/tfergvlogs ♥ Political Channel: http://bit.ly/sociallyunacceptable ♥♥♥ Use my affiliate links to support my channel :-) ♥♥♥ * My go-to eyeshadow palette (vegan and cruelty free!) https://amzn.to/2WnU5tX * 10% off Glossier (for first time customers).
