Hello! I wanted to inform you that I got into Skidmore College with a 95% financial aid (85k per annum) award as an international student from Pakistan. I watched a lot of your videos and they genuinely helped me a lot, so I just wanted to drop by and say thanks a lot. I have been watching Veronica's videos since I was in grade 9, and they really motivated me to apply to the USA. Your platform is amazing, not gonna lie!

Hello!

Your project with stories of admitted students really helped me to learn a lot about the application process during my senior year. Now, I am studying in Korea, and I would like to contribute to Borderless by sharing my story. Is it possible at this moment?

Hello, Veronica!! How are you doing?

Soooo it was actually on December 15th when the results of my Early Action college applications arrived and… I'm so happy to announce that I've been admitted to Northwestern Qatar with a full merit scholarship!!

Borderless played an enormous role in my success; I already gave an interview to one of the journalists, Aruzhan.

Thank you so much for creating such a magnificent project; stories with people who got into Northwestern Qatar really helped me!!! And your advice and assistance in your videos provided great support as well!!!

I particularly would like to mention the Borderless Personal Statement checker. It corrected some of the mistakes, helped polish my essay really well, and I raised my score from 11 to 19 out of 21 in just one attempt!! Thank you so much!!
