During high school, I earned several gold medals in mathematics competitions and performed exceptionally on standardized tests. Unfortunately, the agency I initially worked with in China did not manage to secure admission to my preferred universities, leaving me with an offer from the University of California, San Diego.
My encounter with JL was a turning point. Their approach was not just about getting into any university but about finding the right fit for me. After thorough discussions and evaluations, JL recommended targeting the top 20 universities in the United States, a strategy tailored to my aspirations and capabilities.
Throughout the application process, JL's mentors recognized my unique strengths and interests. They saw my dedication to mathematics, even while at UC San Diego and my enthusiasm for extracurricular activities. After a comprehensive evaluation, JL adjusted my application strategy from mathematics to economics. This strategic shift not only allowed me to maintain my passion for mathematics but also demonstrated my commitment to economics, leveraging my mathematical talent to aid in advancing economic research.
JL also helped me understand the curriculum, research opportunities, and professors' research interests in the mathematics and economics departments at various universities, enabling me to choose a school that best aligns with my long-term development goals.
In conclusion, I am profoundly thankful to JL for helping me regain my confidence and clarify my future objectives. I will continue my studies in mathematics and economics with renewed vigor. For other students feeling uncertain or anxious about their futures, I highly recommend consulting with mentors, as they often say, "Don't wait for opportunities to come to you; be diligent, and opportunities will find you!"
