This was really cool to watch! I didn't realize how much getting the NSF GRFP could help with admissions. Congrats!!

Hiii! Omg, I went to UPenn DEEPenn visit last year and you were one of the panel there that was talking about the grad school admission process! Can’t believe I found your YouTube video. Congrats!

Your net worth going crazy rn

I loved watching your reactions video - it is so authentic!

I’m going through all of that right now and it’s really cool to see your video and see someone else go through it all too

A year late, but a cool vid to watch. Enjoyed seeing your candid reactions throughout your application journey!

Haha hey Brandon. I remember you from DEEPenn STEM a year and a half ago and even talked with you briefly after the grad student panel. I've gotten into UMichigan Physics and am waiting to hear from Penn (another top choice), but considering they're cutting PhD admissions, not holding my breath. This was a fun video to watch, hope you're thriving!

Congrats Brandon! Way to advocate for yourself, you’ll need to do alot of that during your program most likely

Watching this as I am getting PhD application results!! Congratulations this process is crazy

Love your energy man! Wish you luck on your future.

What is most important is the knowledge you acquire and the work that you do, i.e. the papers published, during graduate school.  Within a few years of your career, no one will care where you went to graduate school or who rejected or accepted you.

This was so great to watch - thank you for providing insight to the crazy journey of graduate admissions!

3:53 " I got in guys! Isn't that crazy? That's crazy!" Haha😂😂 that was funny the way you answered your own question. Congrats on your accomplishment!!

Wow Brandon!!! I did not expect to see your video come up in my recommendations!! Do you remember me - Diana - we were both SULI interns at SLAC living on campus at Stanford? I'm so happy for you that you got both the GRFP and also got accepted to UPenn, Philly is so much fun and you totally deserved to go somewhere amazing as such a bright and motivated intern! Going through this process myself now too. A week ago I got accepted at Northwestern for experimental condensed matter!

Congrats! Good that you decided to approach them again. I'll do my Master's degree in Europe and hope to also do my PhD in the US one day, I hope you have a good time and thx for the inspiring video.

Rejection is apart of the game

Congratulations!! I will be applying for PhD this fall for next in Architecture. I am glad you got into the school of your choice!

congrats bro!!!

keep up the vids my man!

Great video. I learned a lot by watching this video regarding the NSF GRFP. Thanks for sharing
