Success stories
US undergraduate application
Student D:(admittted in 2024)
Early admitted :Cornell University
Major: Computer Science
High School: New York Public High
GPA:4.0
SAT/ACT: NA
TOFEL: Exempt
Student D was born in the United States, is a native English speaker, and attended a public high school on Long Island, New York. We began providing planning and support for this student starting in 9th grade. At the start of the application process, the student had straight A's in school and ample high-level extracurricular activities and research projects related to computer science, but their SAT scores, despite multiple attempts, did not exceed 1300. When selecting universities, we advised applying to computer science programs at universities that did not require SAT scores, and the student was ultimately admitted to Cornell University through early decision.
Student M: (Admitted in 2024)
Regular admitted :Purdue University, Ohio University etc 7 Universities
Major: Electrical Engineering
High School: New Jersey Private High
GPA:3.25
SAT/ACT: NA
TOFEL: 78
Student M came to the United States from Beijing and attended a private high school in New Jersey. When they contacted us, the student had already been studying in an American high school for three years, but their TOEFL score was only 59, their grades were mostly B's, and they had almost no extracurricular activities, research projects, summer programs, or awards. The parents simply hoped their child could attend a respectable university. While we arranged for TOEFL tutors to help the student improve their score quickly, we also advised the student to enroll in a university transfer credit program as soon as possible and carefully research the language requirements of each university. We recommended choosing universities with bridge programs and immersion programs, and we worked to highlight the student's strengths in their application essays. The student improved their TOEFL score by nearly 20 points in three months and ultimately received regular admission offers from multiple universities.
Student S:(Admitted in 2025)
Early admitted :Chicago University
Major: Environmental Engineering
High School: International Departments of Public High Schools in Guangdong, China PGPA:4.78
SAT/ACT:1540
TOFEL:108
Student S attended the international department of a high school affiliated with a university in Guangzhou. We began planning and providing support for this student starting in 9th grade. At the beginning of the application process, the school was ranked between 10th and 20th, and both the standardized test scores and academic grades were not ideal. However, from 9th grade onwards, we planned for the student to participate in activities and research projects related to environmental protection. The application essays also emphasized their passion for environmental protection, and ultimately, the student was admitted to the University of Chicago through early application.
Student S:
Kent School/Brooks School/Lawrence Academy
Middle School:Shanghai International School
TOFEL:107
SSAT:2250
Student S attends an international middle school in Shanghai. We began working with this student on academic improvement and college applications in the second semester of 8th grade, and finalized the application list at the end of the school year. The student had all A's, was active in sports and participated in many activities, but without any particular focus or high level of achievement. They also studied two musical instruments, but without outstanding results. The student enjoyed science and engineering subjects, performed well academically, and was particularly interested in robotics and programming. We used this as a starting point, highlighting the student's interests and strengths in their application essays and interviews.
US High School application
Student J:
Chapel Hill-Chauncy Hall School/The Cambridge School of Weston
Middle School: Henan Public School
Duolngo:95
SSAT:NA
Student J decided to apply to American high schools at the last minute due to family reasons, and when they contacted us, the application season had already been underway for two months. The student's academic abilities were average, mostly B grades, and they had no language test scores. They also lacked any notable awards or extracurricular activities, and their hobbies and interests didn't stand out. We opted for the Duolingo English Test, which allows for quick results, and provided professional test preparation. The student achieved a score of 95 on their second attempt. While submitting other application materials, we noticed that the student was very positive and articulate, so we had them record a video to submit as supplementary application material to the admissions office.
Student F:
Suffield Academy/Cheshire Academy
Middle School: Singapore International School
TOFEL:87
SSAT:NA
tudent F visited schools in the US towards the end of the US high school application season. We took her to visit several schools she liked. The successful school visits resulted in her receiving 5 offers. After the visits, she contacted each school... (The text then shifts to discussing another student, M.) Student M is from Shanghai, China, and has been attending an international school in Singapore for two years. However, her English scores were not ideal, her academic performance was average, and while her math skills were strong, they weren't a significant advantage in her application. She had some regional competition achievements. She is proficient in a musical instrument and enjoys performing, but her participation in sports is limited. Since the child's spoken English was good, we suggested that the parents submit video application materials and also bring the child to the US for in-person interviews to communicate directly with admissions officers and leave a good impression to compensate for any shortcomings in other application materials. Ultimately, she chose her favorite US high school.
