Why it worked

The video taps into the relatable experience of academic stress and the desire for a "semester wrap-up," using a popular TikTok trend format to share personal academic statistics in an engaging way.

Summary

A student shares a "semester wrapped" summary of their academic performance at MIT, detailing the number of classes, exams, papers, and problem sets, along with their lowest and highest exam scores. The student concludes by stating their status is taking easier classes next semester.
