Kelly Kim always said that NYU was her dream school, but in my opinion, it did not seem like she prepared that seriously during high school. Even if someone lacks strong academic ability, many students still receive support from their families through tutoring, SAT/ACT prep, and college essay help, but it did not seem like she had much of that either. In one video where she talked about preparing for the ACT and SAT, she even said she would rather buy a new camera than spend money on those things.

At this point, I honestly become curious about Kelly Kim’s parents. It feels like they were not very involved in her academics or supportive of her educational goals during her student years, which seems somewhat unusual from a Korean perspective.
