Transcript excerpt
Six competitions almost guarantee your acceptance at Stanford, Harvard, MIT. Tier absolutely free, extremely prestigious, and one quarter of my classmates at Harvard did them. I'll send you the full list of website links at the end of the video. These are Ivy League feeder competitions because the majority of students who do them end up going to schools like Stanford, MIT, or Harvard, better top 20 universities. Most of them are academic in nature, either involving research or being the top point 1% in a specific field. When admission officers see one of these programs, they are instantly impressed, because winning these competitions is as difficult, if not more difficult, than getting into Ivy's themselves. But don't hope that competition alone will get you in. You still need to have a strong profile and background across other areas as well. I'll see you the full list if you follow comment competition.
