"Congratulations on your first rejection! It's always special."

Trust me, I would know after getting 20+ rejections across two years before I got a single acceptance.

Rejections suck, but they can either demotivate you or wake you up and propel you to grow. I prefer the latter.

Unfortunately, I don't have good news for Yale College's students and fans.

We came very close but, unfortunately, fell short this year.

A few more decisions are out soon. And we have a few more acceptances to announce and cover.

Now, back to sleep and, tomorrow, back to meetings.

Work hard and have no expectations. Such is the nature of the process.

⚡️Viral Harvard Acceptance Reaction

Many of you commented that my reaction to Azizbek's acceptance was totally unhinged—ahah, fair enough!

But behind each acceptance I celebrate, I have seen hundreds of rejections, broken dreams, and sleepless nights.

Admissions field is brutal and humbling. It's a rat race. It's painful and anxiety-filled for my students and me by extension.

Even after previous Ivy acceptances, each one remains special. I will never take them for granted. Working with our students, I witness them vulnerable, confused, and hopeful.

They become like my siblings, with all its good and bad. Knowing what it takes, I have to put a ton of pressure on them. It's not always easy, and they may not like me for it in the moment. But that's what they need to grow.

When you watch the video, remember: selective acceptances are an exception, not a rule. For each successful case, there are tears and broken dreams of thousands of deserving students who did not make it.

And yet, even a tiny chance of changing one's life is worth the risk.

⚡️A Harvard Student from the Academic Lyceum of WIUT

No IBs. No A-levels. No APs. Good old SAT 1520 and IELTS 8.0.

It has been a challenging year-long journey, and I am so proud of the personal transformation he has undergone.

Mishael brought flowers to the office to celebrate today's Ivy League acceptances.

We have put so much on the line this year—our sacrifices, sleepless nights, and ambitious investments stayed out of the spotlight.

Dr. Lyusyena, Sanjar, Sega, Mishael, Alisher, Tais, Lana, Diyorbek, and Meherwan—thank you for delivering this year.

I am so grateful to have a team that pushed me and the Freshman community to our absolute limits.

Early admissions are far from over yet. More decisions are coming. But, as always, no expectations. Silently and methodically working towards a shared goal.

🥲SAT English Distribution (UPenn’s example)

Stay skeptical when admissions offices claim that “they consider your exam scores in your unique contexts.”

Above is the distribution of SAT scores among UPenn’s admitted students. (Source: Common Data Set).

Evidently, only 5% of admitted students received 699 or lower on the SAT English section.

Who are these 5%? I suspect those are athletes, donors, or students who can compensate with A-levels, IBs, or APs.

Your GPA and SAT is, essentially, the first line of defense:

It is never, and I mean it, the reason why someone gets admitted. But it is surely the cause of why many people’s applications don’t even get to the admissions officers’ tables.

Admissions is brutal. But it is not like we did not know it.

"I just don't perform well on the SAT" are the words that I often hear from students.

Having retaken the SAT five times in 2017, I know how negative self-talk builds up with each attempt.

If you are taking the exam, fall asleep tonight with the mindset that you will give your all tomorrow.

The SAT is the closest experience you have ever had to the American education. Exam preparation equipped you for rigorous undergraduate academics.

Leave for the test center while being curious about what you will learn and excited that you will be challenged.

Hype yourself up. Deliver the best you can. And, as always, have fun!

Full Support 2024: Two More Slots for RD

Because of limited capacity, Full Support applications took us many weeks, if not months, to process.

I worried about our output as a team to devote dozens of hours working on each case.

As Sega and Mishael assumed full-time positions at Freshman, I feel confident we can take a few more cases.

As such, we have streamlined the review and interview process and will share our decision within 24 hours of your application.

Apply on the website, so our team will start working with you asap:
www.freshman.academy/full-support

Full Support: Craft an Ivy-Level University Application

Full Support is our most comprehensive and personalized admissions program. Every year, we select 12-15 ambitious students applying to selective American universities. In the past three years, over 80% of our students were accepted to top U.S. and global universities.

Freshman HQ Updates

A Yale-NUS graduate and Freshman's second full-time employee, Mishael arrived in Singapore yesterday.

With our increased capacity, I think of potentially admitting a few more Full Support students for this cycle.

On another note, a member of the Alumni Network is coming to Singapore in November—the office will soon host our first guest.

The next few months will be action-packed and volatile. I hope our vigorous push into Singapore will be worth it.

✈️ Urgent business trip on a two-day notice.

The last few weeks have been rough:

1) Logistics of hiring and boarding a new full-time employee

2) Furnishing the New Office and preparing for the Freshman’s 5th Birthday

3) New Admission Program for 50+ students, sponsored by the Youth Agency

4) Re-building Freshman’s Media team and re-designing the website.

5) Meetings for the Full Support and Admissions Programs. (Lagging on my July Program meetings. But when this happens, I try to compensate with additional meetings).

This is just the tip of the iceberg of all the tasks I had to be engaged in. A bit overwhelming, but I know I can do better.

Invited a personal assistant to help me with these tasks. Excited to see how she will help improve the efficiency of my operation.

Thank you for your patience!

🎉 Freshman’s Singapore Office: Day 1.0

Exciting times ahead!

Freshman Alumni, partners, and teachers will now have a dedicated room whenever they are in Singapore.

And yes, the views might look familiar. I’ve rented a spot in the same building I am lucky to stay with my friends.

But this time, it’s a dedicated and cosy home office for our new Singapore team.

The game is on.
