Hi! What were peoples stats and ecs for their Sutton trust us applications?

hii! ngl mine weren’t too impressive im stressing. also… when you check the youtube video, does it show how much they watched from it? i can see that they viewed 4 min and 16 seconds out of 5 minutes and 15 seconds… im starting to think that they got bored…

Wait how do you check how much they’ve seen? Also what were your stats and ec’s if you don’t mind me asking?

so if you go to “manage videos” on youtube, you can see the number of views that each video had. then, by clicking on a little “statistics” icon, you can check different info about your viewer (avg time they watched etc.). lmk how it is cause im still stressing haha 😭 my ec s included hospital volunteering, owner of a small non-profit business for eating disorders, biology society at school, school volunteering for open days and interview days, ivy league club at school, candidacy for head girl… and that s all i can remember for now… idk what did you have?

Ohhh thank you! Wow the non Profit Business is Crazy impressive. I just put being the sports ambassador at my sixth form college and doing stuff like interviews, creating content and monitoring the sports ig page , website developing and my Plans for how thats going to fit into my passion project, competing in essay competitions, volunteering for a year at a charity shop, Dofe Silver, my Part Time job, volunteering at open events, and my growing TikTok account on books just for the fun of it.

Did you guys get the survey thing to fill in?
