But we should also understand that previous gens faced other major challenge. Challenge of being first.

In times when admissions were not as cliche, people applied to colleges abroad without proper knowledge.

They researched everything themselves and broke the barriers for younger generations.

So, we should say our ‘thanks’ to the older gens as well.

📈 The growing competition you can't ignore

Year by year, generations are becoming stronger and stronger. If you think you started early, believe me, it’s not early enough.

I used to think the same way. I thought I started applying to programs and learning about admissions early, back when I was in 9th grade. But now, I see kids who are already having olympiads in several fields by the time they’re 15.

These students are scoring 1590 SAT, 8.5 IELTS, and still have a lot of time ahead. This means that each class will be more competitive than the previous one.

In fact, it’s already happening. The class of 2028 said the class of 2029 will be hard, but they believe the classes of 2030 and 2031 will need to work even harder.

I’m not sure what factors are causing this, but it’s clear that admissions content is a major influence.

🕯 The Cost of Success

Everything in life is balanced. Stability exists in its own way.

Think you can cheat the system? Nah, you can't. If you believe you can achieve something without sacrifice, that belief itself is already your loss.

Want to study abroad? Fine, but be ready to say goodbye to your family. Aiming for a 1600 on the SAT or an acceptance letter from IVY college? Then prepare to sacrifice your time, energy, nerves, and money.

This rule of life still shocks me. I used to believe there was a way to relax and make a lot of money at the same time. But here it is – reality.

Don't expect quick results, guys. Every achievement demands the same level of effort and attention.

I know today is the final day to apply to U.S. colleges. Just a reminder – life isn’t unfair. It’s fair in the harshest way. Believe in yourself.

If you’ve put in the effort (even if not), remember – you will achieve what Allah knows is best for you.

Good luck. You've got this.🫡

🚩 Compete With Yourself, Not Others

Many people around me, when talking, try to provoke me by saying, "That guy is your competitor" or "She's going to beat you in admissions."

Guys, why do you think this way? Sure, thinking competitively might boost your motivation, especially when applying to your dream college. But this isn’t something to argue about. The only person you should compete with is the best version of yourself.

Focus on being the best you can be and build your own unique path. Don’t aim to outshine others just because someone says you should.

Maybe I haven't faced this yet and don't fully understand it, but I’ve seen many cases where ordinary guys get into universities simply because they didn’t focus on beating others in IELTS, SAT, or any other challenge.

I truly believe that everyone has their future written on their forehead. Just study, put in the effort, and take risks. You’ll achieve anything.

🧐 Reality of Getting In

I know that ‘getting in’ to the prestigious program, being one of the few Uzbeks who receive this acceptance, and achieving 200 subscribers in a day might seem like a great achievement, but most people around don’t understand the real effort that was put in or what will be required in the future.

They don’t realize the things that were sacrificed: sleepless nights, a million versions of a single essay, or even the nerves when there’s only an hour left until the deadline.

After being accepted, I’m realizing how much still needs to be done, even after being admitted. There’s so much to complete and apply for: visas, notary services, agreements, and health forms. Even something as simple as booking a flight takes time and, of course, money.

It turns out no one will be waiting for you at the airport in NYC. I’ll have to make my way to New Haven by myself. If you arrive earlier, you’ll need an apartment to stay in or close relatives who can provide a place for a day or two.

I don’t want to make you feel depressed or give you a “don’t apply” mindset. I just want you to be aware of these challenges before applying and not assume that everything is as easy as butter on bread.

Definitely apply for this opportunity and try your best on the essays. I want more Uzbeks to get in and increase opportunities for Uzbeks internationally. If you have any questions, feel free to ask in DM.
