Electronic Signature Summer Camp Fee Waiver Made Easy

Electronic signature summer camp fee waiver

[Music] hey guys in this video i'm gonna be applying to the program at princeton university and i'm gonna be recording my screen as i do it right so the purpose of this video is to show you guys what the application portal looks like what are some common questions asked what documents you need to submit and so on right so i'm really excited to do this because princeton was like you know one of the universities that i had in my shortlist but it didn't make the final cut right so i always wanted to apply to princeton i want to be like a princeton boy and here we are right so i'm going to be making like a fake application to princeton and you guys will see exactly how the whole process goes into it all right so let's get started okay so here we are at princeton university website and they have a pretty cool website they have their orange and black color themes you know people who are successful and so on so we go to admission and aid we go to graduate admission and so here we are on the graduate admissions website so okay we go to steps for applying maybe the apply now button is there so it's my first time doing it so i have no idea i have no idea how to find this i'm just sort of going through with you guys so it says apply here okay apply to the graduate school please submit application so click on application button apply at the i think we're close and there we go apply now button so every university will have like an apply now button or apply here button so that's what you need to be searching for so i think we might need an account first so we have to create an account now this whole creating an account thing is kind of boring because you know you sort of just email address and password and name and date of birth you know the normal stuff you'll have to go to your email address to verify the account so again this is just some basic stuff so i'm just gonna skip right ahead okay great so now that the account has been created i'm going to log in and then i should be able to start my application okay so the apply now play online button doesn't work okay so on like graduate application getting started this can be a little bit confusing okay online graduate application probably all right here we are finally okay so they have the welcome stage they're just gonna give us some information okay so they're giving us eligibility so we have to be an eligible student well the bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent from an accredited college or university some cases may have a normal program that is shorter or longer than four years no degree that has a program length shorter than three years will be considered equivalent so i guess princeton accepts three-year degrees so we know all of you guys with three-year degrees it looks like you could you'll be able to apply to princeton okay so you can only apply to one department or program per year so that's important you know some of you guys might be looking to apply to two different programs at the same university so be careful you can only apply to one okay they don't discriminate they have some deadlines here let's check out the deadlines so it looks like for mechanical engineering the deadline was december 1st so i missed it so let's try december 15th okay let's just apply to computer science or something so fee waiver request they have some fee waivers you know if you have um if you're a part of some group or something they might give you a fee waiver it's a it's mainly for u.s citizens so they have some test requirements and departmental requirements requirements sometimes change across departments right so they don't need originals of your transcripts or anything yet i suppose they might need the original once you actually get in oh so it looks like black and white is recommended for their transcripts and everything says black and white okay cool let's get started next page okay so the first thing we have to do is our choose our field of study so what are we going to choose we decide to apply to computer science right this application deadline is december 15th let's try for the master of science program for fall 21 save selection and there we go so we do have subplants right they usually give you some space where you can talk about your specialization so let's say we are specializing in robotics now we don't have a second one because let's say we don't have like a backup specialization you don't need to put more than one personally when i apply it i put one if you have another one you can put like for example see i put computers i put robotics and computer vision because they're somewhat related right so that's why i wrote that now it's just the basic stuff you know your name date of birth nickname that nickname is only if you have like a super long name should you put the nickname otherwise it's fine so admission information now you put your interests in so this is the additional interest right besides your computer science interest so since we applied for robotics we were looking for electronics engineering but they don't have electronics engineering so they only have electrical so i'm probably not going to put anything there have you previously applied to princeton no i have not and next page okay so here we are with the recommenders so they need three letters of recommendation people well acquainted with your academic work must be used must be submitted electronically once you submit once you register your recommenders they will receive an email with the login instructions that's great and and then of course they'll have to submit the letter on their own so you cannot submit the letter right and then there's some extra stuff that's not useful for us i guess okay so now we have to put in three recommenders but then you know because it's a fake application i'm only going to put in one recommender which is myself okay so i'm going to put in my name and my last name or like a little bit i don't i don't want to put the full last name because you know they might be like hey you can't just write use your own recommendation something like that i don't know so name of organization okay i'm gonna write peer core just for fun do you wave the right okay so this is important guys you to make sure that you waive the right to read the recommendation this sort of makes the recommendation hold more value right because if you don't waive the right that means that you have a right to see the recommendation which means that the recommender may not be fully honest right so you need to always make sure that you wave the right to see the recommendation so submit the email of the recommender not your own email and then it'll automatically send the recommendation request so this is how it works for most universities i know that some universities will allow you to submit your own recommendation but for most universities especially in the us this is the way to go so yes put in put it in for all three recommenders even if they haven't gotten the letter ready just make sure you just submit it and you know they'll get the email when they're ready they can submit the recommendation so marital status not married okay male uh gender identity man usa us social security number we don't have one ethnicity information okay so i am not hispanic uh racial identity there's no indian okay so maybe falls under asian because i know in some universities they have asian and then they have like south asians so you gotta be careful so it looks like okay for these guys india falls under asian okay so i'm gonna take asian then citizenship information okay just normal stuff select your country of birth and city of birth and so on do you hold a citizenship in another country so this is for like you know if you have like a dual citizenship and stuff then you can write this i know that some people might have this but if you do then you can write that if you don't then of course click no all right so now mailing address this mailing address i'm not really sure the use of it but of course they will pretty much every university will ask for it as far as i know i gave my address and i didn't receive anything in the mail so this is for your visa information so if you have a current visa if you're like currently in the united states then you can put in your current visa but if you are not currently in the united states then you don't have to put this in right because there's no star across it i mean there's no star next to it which means it's not a required field all right so u.s military experience so no i don't have a u.s military experience if you do of course take it no i am not a dependent of a us military person uh family information okay so you're the level of education no i have not been a bad boy no i'm not a criminal okay so what is the highest degree we'll have earned prior to princeton so for me it's a bachelor's degree for some of you guys it might be masters as well if you have like you know a pgdp or something put other and i gotta search for the university right so you just search for the country and then your university so with this in this application i actually got lucky like i was able to find armata university but i remember that when i actually applied i was not able to find amartha from most of the colleges that i applied to right so if you don't find your university it's okay you can i believe there's an option to leave it as empty not empty i believe there's an option to take like other university or something like that or like not spit not stated or something academic standard do you have any gaps in your education history or on your transcript no it was like four consecutive years my bachelor's degree have you violated academic integrity no i have not previous education so you got to write down you know all the colleges that you guys studied or or expect to study before you start with princeton right so to make sure that you don't lie here right which means that if you join some college and then you dropped out you do have to state all of those all that information here right they do need unofficial transcripts you know the name of the issuing institution and yeah so you need to make sure that you state it now see at the time of application nothing needs to be mailed to admissions office right only if you get accepted will they require the official transcripts so otherwise it's totally fine you can just submit your soft copies so this looks like it's required so i'm gonna write okay so completed bachelor's degree again you gotta search for the same thing too bad you can just select from the above text box but no you gotta search for it again so we have degree expected okay so degree of engineering [Music] gpa scale so do they they ask you for the scale so you put the 10 here and then you put your overall gpa so some universities they may ask if you if it's not out of four they may not even ask you for the gpa they just look at the transcripts but most universities this is what they'll do they'll ask you for the scale and then they'll ask you for your gpa so instructions you know this is where you put in your transcripts and all that kind of stuff some universities will ask you we'll also ask you for the degree certificate so like if you already graduated you might have to submit that but again again it varies all right then additional education so this is for all the colleges you have attended or attending but which from which you will not earn a bachelor's degree or higher so this is like summer courses exchange programs all these kind of things right so i don't have any of these so i'm not going to write it but i know that some of you guys will have like exchange programs and stuff so you can update that here it's native and foreign language information so now they want to know what language you speak so i'm going to click malayalam so if your native language is not english then you will have to write toefl ielts there's it says there's no place in the application to enter your test scores so for some universities they will ask you to enter your test scores unofficially in the application portal for most universities i think i did i guess princeton is like an exam it's like it's like an exception where they don't want that to be done so i'm going to write okay so my um speaking language high reading weighty low writing low and that's it okay publications and original work so here's where you write your publications research work and all that right so it has to be stuff that is already published or you know have been accepted so if you've been accepted then that's good as well it says you know papers that have been accepted through public peer review it says unpublished senior thesis should not be entered so that means if your thesis has not been published then don't write it in so you just put your title here and then you put the type so there's like you know different types of publications right so you have article book and if it's your thesis you can write thesis then you gotta write your i think for most of you guys it'll be articles since it'd be a journal article or conference article would be like an article then publish your journal conference you just type that in you're of work of course and that's it add a publication if you have more than one publication relevant to work experience so you guys should if you have work experience and of course put that in some universities will even ask you to detail the work experience as in like you know the name of your manager maybe and like what kind of things you what was the what does a company do and you know what is what is your role and stuff again it varies between companies but since this is not required maybe i won't write it so external financial awards so if you guys got any scholarships or fellowships or anything like that you can type that in so i did not get any i wish i did but nope and other colleges universities apply to so this is totally optional if you want you can write in the names of the other colleges you're applying to but i didn't do that for any single one of my applications i think most universities did ask but i just i left it empty i don't believe that this is going to affect your application at all i'm not sure but personally i did not write it in and i can't think of any reason why it would white would affect your application now documents to be uploaded so now they want some kind of essays right so computer science says okay so it says including teaching assistantship which will give you leadership experience and practice presenting technical information as such the master's program is well-suited for applicants interested in teaching mentoring undergraduates even if those are not necessarily your long-term goals so please describe any teaching experience you've had in any subject at any grade level so if you're a ta lab assistant greater tutor or any other role in which you interact with students or mentor your peers i believe they're looking for official roles if you just taught your friends i don't think that counts but i suppose if you want to you can they didn't say that you know don't put in unofficial things it's totally up to you okay so the second question is for those who teaching experience describe a specific instance when you helped your students stat students overcome a misunderstanding or understand difficult concept i'm gonna write i recorded a video of myself applying to oops applying to college to help students understand the process i'm just kidding i'm not gonna write that okay saving a purpose so here's where they want to step into purpose it says that they need uh they should not it should not exceed a thousand words remember guys that some universities will explicitly state their requirements some of them will just leave it out leave it open-minded or like leave it open if it's open then one and a half pages is ideal two pages max if it's not open if it's specified like this of course make sure you fit within that word limit so it should not exceed a thousand words attach it as pdf i really recommend you attach as pdf because it changes the format and stuff across computers so you don't want to risk it just go for pdf then you're of course your resume so it says yeah you're at commute your employment activities community service academic professional honors and that's it guys again i would say two pages max for the resume yeah unofficial report of fall semester grades again this is only for if you guys are currently in fall and you know you have your semester grades or like outside of fall you have your semester grades available but again this is only going to be for like you know specific people so probably not for you and finally additional information okay so i guess we're almost at the end so now any additional information that has not been captured in other parts of your application if you feel you've already provided us with sufficient information about yourself you don't need to add anything here so here you know it says you know for example you can put in your articles or additional writing samples and all that kind of stuff right so again it's only if you have anything extra so they've given you some kind of examples writing samples or articles or anything like that you can add that in i really don't know what goes on here i would say that if you have some kind of you know certificates that are super important and stuff then you can go for it and then we have financial resources so i'm not applying or no i am applying so what should i select okay i am applying for finance because i want assistant chips right even this fake application i want assistant chips so yes cos something something something information provided is confidential then we have applicants total income so they wanted all those income details so some of it is required okay they want like you know value of your assets and all this kind of stuff guys it's okay you don't have to put in the exact amount you can put in like an approximation so this is just again it's probably just for the survey purposes as far as i know it won't really have any like you know full up full impact on your application but i'm not really sure and then you have the fee waiver request like i said guys this is mainly just for people you know who are u.s citizens then you can use that stuff to get free waivers but for international students it's a little bit difficult to find fee waivers i believe that international students can get free waivers if you attend like their webinars and stuff but again that varies from university university and then signature and agreement so then now you just you know click agree type in the date and then just submit and pay so i believe the payment for princeton university is around 100 i don't know exactly how much it is but pretty much every college you apply to will cost approximately 100 to apply to and that's it thank you guys so much for watching if this video helped you in any way leave a like i would appreciate it and subscribe if you want to see more graduate program related content that's it from me for now and i'll see you later bye
