S3, E2: Stanford/Berkeley Admits on High School and College Applications

In the 2nd episode of season 3 of "The Haleakalan" podcast, we were able to sit down with two future undergrad students, Rohan Kumar (UC Berkeley) & Manasi Garg (Stanford University). We talked about how much of a time drag the college application process was, and how they balanced a sufficient enough schedule to meet their goals. More on the college application process, Rohan and Manasi gave a couple of pointers to focus on to write elegant essays, and what worked for them. Also, the two made comparisons between their online school experiences and in-person school, and how online school may impact their college experience in the future. In addition, we asked the two if their college results came back as expected, but note that Rohan and Manasi aren't admission officers, so they explained how the college admission process could be subjective. On more of the un-academic side of things, the two gave a rundown on what they thought about Saratoga culture/competitiveness, and managing a social life in conjunction with max rigor schedules. Tune into this amazing episode with these brilliant people, and a huge thanks again to Rohan and Manasi for giving us your time!
