Hi! Thanks so much for your videos They are super helpful I will be starting my Graduate degree at Cornell in the fall and I was wondering whether you think negotiating over the phone or an email is best? Also, would you recommend negotiating with my department or the overarching graduate school administration?

Question: my daughter is going back to college to get her second bachelor's degree to become RN, she already exhausted FASFA from her first degree, I am trying to find a way for her to get help to keep on with the RN she is currently enrolled in, she has fantastic grades (always did very well in all her schooling, amen) can you direct a path or paths? I dont need her stressed out about money, she does work three jobs right now Any advice would be great Thank you in advance

Not to be mean but (she says starting saying something kinda mean) this video made me so anxious Im apply to undergrad this year and no one in my life understands why I want to pursue academia never mind try to help me afford my education It’s the middle of August in my last summer of childhood and all I can think about is how unrealistic it is for me to even try to get a degree past undergrad Bc at the end of the day SOMEONE on planet earth has to help you with this whole process How do you even start? 🥲☹️

What GPA do you need in order to negotiate (roughly)?
Comment from : mallowhawk294

I wished I had Nigerian friends growing up Some of that discipline and knowledge would have rubbed off on me lol
Comment from : 86Kera

Can you negotiate even if you do not apply to multiple schools?
Comment from : milda pocius

Congrats! Me too and neither did my parents have to spend one cent! Soyeah, cool! Also, it's notable I and possibly yourself, earned our degrees prior to universities being nothing but indoctrination centers for snowflakes needing safe spaces and crying closets I don't know about yourself but my first day in college my goal was a PhD (note I am the oldest of 4 and my dad had his PhD, soyou know about birth-order)

Comment from : Gail Becker

Do you have a video on how you monetized your blog?
Comment from : Gail Becker

You guys and Caribbean students who come to the United States are great role models When I worked as a manager for Basic Communication and the college computer labs, I hired foreign students to tutor because they all were in the International Honor Society with 40 GPAs brbrThey really inspired the American students They even inspired me to return to school and get my second degree and a graduate degree as well Now, my daughter and I are returning to school: my daughter wants a second degree in Computer Animation I, however, am returning to graduate school to finish my Doctorate after having to take a medical leave
Comment from : Gail Becker

A significant portion of these comments are a mess Sorry you have to see this, IjeomabrbrIf it’s something he’s interested in, I’d also love to hear Jonathan’s experience in school, too! Had he also grown up in the US, and how was navigating the education system for him? (I’d totally understand if you’d rather not, because people are weird on this red app)

My dream is to go to Harvard Please can I email you? I live 40 minutes away from Harvard but I’m poor
Comment from : Fitness Babe

Congrats young lady! My daughter has Harvard, Yale, Wellesley, and U Chicago all offering 75 It would have been 100 if our income was under 65k She's going pre-med It is easier than EVER right now to get into Ivy Leagues paid for if you are in the top 5 of your class
Comment from : Cynthia Sayles

I'm curious: how much do you permanently forfeit in terms of ieducation/i (ie how non-make-upable is it) if you ifail/i to have iqualified/i to be admitted to a college like Harvard (eg I would almost surely not have because I had nothing at all inoteworthy/i that would have gotten the attention of a lot of other people to my name at the point of application, nor was I super disciplined and on top of that also dealing with various mental/psych disorders along the way too which contributed all to these various things)? How can you get that same depth of education if you missed out, water's under that bridge, and you iDIDN'T/i have such a family as you did, at least for the undergrad and went to a so-so state college instead? Because that's the boat here Nor with any of the right icombination/i of skills to get hired for many jobs during the college period due to just same and also pretty much having been entirely home and self-schooled plus socialization failure etc I don't care about a brand, I care about what I learn and can get equipped with

Comment from : PeaceAndL ove

everything about you screams healthy wow!
Comment from : Ohsosaucy

Columbia only allow full time for law school so I won’t be applying anymore I need something that I can go part time as a mom and wife So right now I’m focused on working to save more so eventually when the timing is right I can attend law school I wouldn’t want to rush anything at the moment I just don’t like the idea of going to school with huge debts 🤦🏽‍♀️
Comment from : XoxoVictoria

Good thing you're a high-energy person Now that you've worked yourself through your prime years, well past what might be the point of exhaustion for many people, you have 3 pieces of paper signifying that you're ready to istart/i working Are you ready to begin now?br What a great society we are All it takes is this, and we can have smart phones Hell, it's probably only about 2-3x as much work as slaves used to do on the cotton plantations And we get smart phones! Did I mention that? And pharmaceutical, so we can stave off our depression
Comment from : brindlebriar

Degree are fine I can understand having a bachelor's degree I have one Without one, you are pretty much stuck in fast food, which isn't necessarily anything negative but both my parents have degrees so I wanted one (regardless of the job that I ended up with) But, multiple advanced degrees? Constantly worrying about keeping grades up is very stressful, and it's not something that I think I could do for the years and years that it takes to get a doctoral degreebrbrbrStudying take a certain type of discipline that it seems silly to maintain for an excessive amount of time I've met people who constantly go to school, get multiple Master's degrees (and doctorates) and just seem clueless about how the actual workforce works
Comment from : darkknight78945

What's your lineage I seriously doubt that its ADOS if this was so easy we wouldn't have the STUDENT LOAN DEBT CRISIS BYE
Comment from : Sandra Johnson

You are wise and smart, proud of you :)
Comment from : KC Nwokoye

Your lineage helped you darling Trust me None of my family members born in the hell holes of America who went to college are in your position But anywho, I’m not surprised at all More power to you Wish my black natives could say the same😑
Comment from : DECATUR RAIDER

So you didn't pay for any of the first 4 years, lol, wow As well you had the GPA to get into Harvard, what about all the people who didn't have the GPA to qualify? So you already had 2 legs up on most people You seem to be educated, but smart you aren't So you got money from a "diversity program" so how do WHITE PEOPLE get that money? Oh wait, they don'tbrbrBlogger is a job for people without a brain, and why would i care to listen to people who don't do anything You went for extra financial aid and did it smartly, but YOU HAD THE GPA for it, most do NOT and would not qualify But you don't get it
Comment from : John Doe

You were basically blessed with brilliant parents who taught u great discipline, excellent values, the importance of hard work and you had GOD’s favour But above all you’ve had a great foundation I didn’t have any of that but your testimony has given me hope
Comment from : Charisma Jallah

Nigerians and their stupid degrees I say this as someone who has an advanced medical degree
Comment from : Ade

side note, major congratulations and kudos to you on your incredible achievements!
Comment from : Emilio Tamez

I'm only curious as to what your actual job is and what is your area of focus/ job title?
Comment from : millertoyal

Hello, I wish I had this information years ago when I was working on my bachelor's degree All I had to do was finish 3 or 4 courses to get my bachelor's degree, but that didn't happen because my financial aid ran out I was crushed because I had been working sooo hard the previous 6 years on my education I have zero family support and therefore, I had no one that could cosign a loan for me to finish my last semester I am a single mom of 3 kids and I'm Puerto Rican I want to know if there is anything that I can do to finish my bachelor's degree? After I finish my bachelor's degree I will get more financial aid towards a master's degree I would appreciate it if you can lean me in the right direction Thank you

Comment from : Ifeanyichukwu Maduakonam Anaeyi

The problem with Nigerians is that Majority of Nigerians are Lazy Physically!! and are Degree Hoarders!! Majority of PhD Nigerian Holders are Working for people that are Degree Holders themselves!! Nigerians learn how to start up a Medium Scale Business than Bagging degrees!! Our Country is this way because Majority Look down on Mechanics, Plumber, Carpenter etc that drives the Economy
