Alright, first up, let's look at get in Harvard application, Rachel.

Alright, so this means to be accepted or admitted to a school, university or program.

When Rachel says it's great if I get in, she's talking about being accepted to Harvard.

It's super common to use this with schools.

Later, Rachel says get into instead of just get in.

If you have an object you should use into, otherwise just use in.

For example, you might say, I really hope I get into Stanford this year.

I've been dreaming about getting in since high school.

Mike suggests Rachel might get in somewhere else if Harvard doesn't work out.

It's your second choice or alternative plan when your first choice doesn't work out.

In the usa, most people will have a top choice when applying to universities, but

they probably will also apply to a couple backup schools.

I still like it, but Pohm training is my fallback.

And also, where did you ever even hear that word?

And hey, I'm guessing that you would like to be able to speak English more naturally and fluently, right?

That's how we natives cut, reduce and connect our words together in fluent speech.

Now let's practice it together so that you can understand and speak more confidently.

Do you notice how Rachel said this almost as if it were a single word?

We have a couple instances of the American T here.
