- I'm feeling so excited 'cause
two years ago everyone used to be, going to NYU,
you have to be this 110 average student, this 1600 student.
All this, I didn't think a decent boy like me
could get so much money to go to
such a prestigious university.
- Well, how much money you got?
- I got $66,000 per year.
(panel clapping)
- Hi everybody. How are you?
This is Bobby again, the CEO of Bobby-Tariq Tutoring Center.
Today I'm actually with four of my very successful students.
They got accepted to NYU with big scholarships.
Let me introduce my student Sharif.
Say hi to them.
- Hi.
- Then my student Tonya.
My other student Kashfia,
and another boy. - Hey, what's up.
- Anupom so he's always trying to say
what's up and everything, all right.
So let's come back to my student, no problems
he's a very good boy.
So, how you are feeling today?
It must be really great, I like your hair.
- I'm feeling so excited, because two years ago
everyone would be, going to NYU, you must be this
110 average student, this 1600 student, all this.
I don't think a decent boy like me could get
so much money to go to such a prestigious university.
- Well how much money you got?
- I got a $66,000 per year.
(panel clapping)
- That's good, I assume the dorm was free.
- Yeah, dorming, books and all tuition is free for me.
- In NYU.
That's one of the most expensive college.
- Two years ago people said NYU barely gives any money.
- But you got the maximum on merit based scholarship, right.
- I didn't know this was possible for NYU.
- Now it was and now it is possible.
What was your SAT score?
- I've got a 1500 on my SAT,
with an 800 in the math section.
- 800 in the math section, great.
So what is your future goal?
What do you want to study at NYU?
- I'm going to be studying mechanical engineering.
As soon as I finish my bachelors, I actually
wanna start working in the work field
and see whee that takes off.
Then get my parents a house, I buy myself a car and stuff.
- Wow, some dream, some hope.
So what do you think, Anupom, is behind your success?
What was the key ingredient that really triggered you
to be such a successful person?
- The most important thing I got
from here was the motivation.
Not the math skills, not the English skills,
not the learning, tutoring, I come from Brooklyn,
I reside in Brooklyn, and this is in Queens.
I take over an hour commute to get here.
I come here twice a week, four to five hours a day.
Tell the truth after two, three years
of coming here, I believe it was not a waste.
All the volunteer hours I did, all the time
I took commuting here, was not a waste at all.
Just because of the motivation I got.
Because with a motivation, it doesn't matter
how smart you are you can always beat someone
that's on top. - So proud.
(panel clapping)
How are you feeling today because you got into
one of the most prestigious universities in the world?
- I was out of words.
My friend was with me, I remember he was like,
you got in and I was like, I have to reread the email,
like at least five times, just to see that congratulations
in the middle of the.
- Bobby-Tariq Tutoring Center any help behind your success?
- Oh definitely yeah.
Bobby-Tariq, the opportunities that Bobby opened
up for me is incredible.
Not only academically did he prepare me for school
and all this SAT, but he also prepared me
for the real life.
So, real life you're not gonna get experiences in school.
You might, but Bobby definitely,
he provides the experience you need to handle yourself
in real life situations.
So the opportunity here is incredible.
- Would you mind sharing with us how
much scholarship money you got?
- So from my whole package is actually 51k.
- $51,000. (panel clapping)
Imagine, $51,000 in one year, four years how much?
- It's about 200.
- $200,000 is technically covered, he doesn't have to pay.
That's what I'm talking about.
So there must be something you have done
when he applied to college, so would you share it with us.
- So, college application is definitely not an easy thing.
You can easily just skip a lot of steps
and not get into the college you really want to go to.
So college application is definitely very important
and Bobby helped me so much with
the college application process.
There was a lot of things that I didn't know
you had to make good connection with your teachers
to get good recommendations, all that sort of stuff.
Bobby definitely, he had my back, he definitely had my back.
- Thank you, I like you man.
So is there any, so OK, maybe let me
come back to her and then let's see
how are you feeling Tanya today?
- Obviously we're all shocked initially
that I couldn't really tell you,
but I'm really happy right now and excited to go to NYU.
- So you are going to NYU?
- Yes that's my top choice.
- That's The best decision for you, of course, perfect.
So what are you gonna study at NYU?
- Computer science.
- Computer science, wow.
Do what was your SAT score like?
- 1490. - 1490?
That's really good.
When you first started what was your score?
- Similar to him, I used to be really bad, like 1000.
- So 490 points. (panel clapping)
Wow, that's awesome Tanya.
Do you think Bobby-Tariq Tutoring Center was any help?
- Well definitely, as you can see,
it's because of Bobby-Tariq that I improved so much,
like improved so drastically.
And it's not only about SAT, but like the mentoring
that they provide, the motivation that they provide,
the college help, they're available all the time here.
Like you could just ask them any questions,
not only about SAT but college and like as he said,
they help you in the process because some people,
there's steps on the application that
if you miss, then you miss your chance of getting in.
And they practically guide you because
they're really experienced people out there.
They know what they're doing.
- Wow, great, so do you have any message
to your friends so maybe they can go to NYU also someday.
- Well definitely don't fear that oh, I'm not going
to get in, so don't just not apply.
Because I used to first think that
but they encouraged me.
They're definitely motivating me to apply
like, go ahead don't think about the money,
just go ahead and do it.
Now I'll definitely say like go follow your dreams,
definitely apply and especially find a great mentor
who could guide you like that, like lots
of people I've found here.
- Great, so let me come back to Kashfia.
So what's up, how are you Kashfa
how is it you're feeling today?
- Well, I still can't believe I got into NYU.
And especially with early decision.
Ever since December, I've been, just in shock
that I don't have to go through all the other processes
that my friends had to go through and through December
to do it. - Beautiful.
- I was just happy with the fact
that I was able to get in with one shot
and I didn't have to worry about anything else
and Bobby, you really helped me with that.
- Great, what was your SAT score?
- It was a 1420. - 1420 wow.
What will you be studying at NYU?
- I'm studying to do business.
- So she's going to be a business woman.
Thinking about making a lot of money in your free time.
That's the route guys, right, that's why
she's putting all the energy and time now
so we can make some you know good bucks in life, right.
- And help people.
- And help people, of course she's intending
to help a lot of people.
So, okay Kashfia, do you have any message
for your friends and classmates?
- Well, like all the the other friends have been saying
to a mentor, a really good mentor.
Because I remember when I started the college process,
I used to freak out about the smallest things
and then I just go to Bobby and Bobby helped so much,
even with even with the small, silliest questions,
Bobby would be like, oh no don't worry, you got this.
Just send it in, do this, do that.
Through that I was able to get,
Bobby was able to help me with my resume
to get into an internship at AOL,
Bobby was also helped, was able to help me
get my volunteer hours here and as a result
I was able to get a recommendation letter from Bobby
which really helped my college application, too.
- Wow, very good Kashfia.
So what is your future goal like?
Where do you see yourself in 10 years>
- 10 years, hopefully finish college first
and you know just keep growing and keep learning
and get where I want to go.
- Very good.
That's definitely where she wants to get.
That a great thing.
Let's come back and let me tell something
to you guys OK, whoever is listening today.
Now, OK, so here's the deal.
In life, OK, what is the most important thing
to be successful?
Is it your talent, is it your energy,
is it your money, is it your ambition?
Maybe, maybe not.
But the most, most, most important thing
is the motivation and the hope.
So you have motivation, you have hope,
guys you can do what?
Now, here's a thing you have to know for life,
it's like an act, how, it is the function.
Life is a function, a play, how it is?
It's a function of frustration.
It's a function of depression,
it's a function of failure, it's a function
of emotional rollercoaster.
Again, life is a function of off-beat,
it's a function of success, it's a function
of the crying emotion, it's a function of crying in joy.
It's a function of seeing the sunrise Monday.
So what is what am I trying to say?
Yes, you fall you have to learn how to get back up.
It's not about how hard you fight to improve your life.
It's not about how hard you punch somebody,
it's about how hard you get punched
and still be able to run, that's the most important thing.
It's not how well your brain works,
it's how well your mind works and I can bet
with anybody about that.
You put your brain into something, yes,
you may get it right you may not.
You put your mind into something you could
go wherever you want to go guys.
Want to go to a good college, possible.
Set up a goal at least if you have a goal
you know where to go, you don't have a goal
you don't even know where to go.
You're waking up in the morning going to sleep at night
waking up in the morning going to sleep at night,
constantly thinking I'll be set for life,
no it's not.
Somebody else is going getting up and going
to sleep with planning, you are going to getting up
and going to sleep without planning.
So, make a plan, make goals, do not give up.
You will fall, as I said, life is a function
of frustration, you'll be frustrated,
you'll be depressed, you'll been an emotional rollercoaster
go ups and downs.
Only thing you can't do is give up.
You cannot lose hope, you cannot lose motivation.
It's not about your talent, what can get your success
is about your motivation get to it use it.
A lot of people are talented in life,
they're brilliant, but they're lazy.
They don't have a plan.
They're not it's utilizing their intelligence
as opposed to some people, they might not
be as brilliant, they might not be as talented,
but they're constantly jumping, jumping, jumping,
running, running, running, they're falling,
running, falling, running, at some point
they see if they reach their destination.
So it is my piece of advice to you guys.
Don't lose hope, I know you might have a bad GPA
at this point, you might be very lost,
how am I gonna go to go to college,
I don't have good SAT score, I don't have a good average.
Oh, these guys they're going to NYU,
I might not be able to go to NYU because I don't know how.
That's not the point, it's OK.
Close your past door, that's the rule,
that's rule number one you have to close your past,
forget about it, start fresh today.
Take out a piece of paper, take a pen,
put some bullet points.
Where do you want to see yourself 10 years after today?
See what is your goal now?
How your action today has a connection
to 10 years after today.
Make a plan, take this plan to some good mentor,
whoever you feel comfortable with.
Some counselor already feel comfortable with.
Not just some best guy, go to a right guy,
whoever can give you hopes and motivate you emotionally.
Support me emotionally also not just like technically.
Then you take your car, press that letter,
you'll reach your goal.
Obviously, I'm not telling you it's easy,
but if you start today some point you go there.
If you don't start today, you will forget
about going there, you don't even know where you're going.
So, it's never too late, I'm telling you.
If your GPA is bad go on the SAT,
if your SAT is bad go on the GPA of something.
Seek help to improve your scores, lives.
Try to do some research.
What is the right college for you?
One misunderstanding lot of students do,
oh I want to go to that college
because people say it's good.
I want to go to Harvard, I want to go to Columbia,
I want to go to NYU.
Well, it's not about prestigious colleges,
it's about right college.
Why NYU, because you want to be,
you want you want to go to NYU because NYU
has certain things as best fit for you.
These guys are going to NYU because
they're studying engineering, NYU's one
of the best engineering program at that is best for him.
I mean, if you say I want to study history
or something else, but NYU doesn't offer that program,
why would you go there?
So you want to make sure what is the best fit for you.
So visit those colleges, visit the requirements
and see what is the best for you.
All right guys, I'm gonna come back to you again.
I'm a college consultant, education consultant,
slash SAT instructor.
If you guys have any questions about college,
email us, email me personally,
my email address is Bobby@bobbytariq.com.

to have free consultation with me about colleges.
Don't be despaired, don't lose motivation,
