The Success Story of Thomas
From Average to Outstanding: Thomas’s Transformative Academic Journey with Fendodo
Thomas had always been an average student, with a GPA of just 2.9. But everything changed in the second semester of his junior year. Faced with growing academic pressure, his school counselor bluntly told him: “With your grades, it’s impossible to get into a Top 100 U.S. university.”
Shaken but not defeated, Thomas decided to take control of his future and sought professional support from Fendodo.
Fendodo assembled a team of 7 expert advisors to guide Thomas through his academic challenges. Among them was Damian, a specialized counselor at Fendodo, who provided not only academic mentorship but also vital emotional support. With his expertise in teen mental wellness and long-term life planning, Damian helped Thomas regain confidence, set ambitious goals, and ignite a real passion for his future.
In addition, Fendodo’s chief counselor held weekly strategy sessions, closely monitoring Thomas’s progress and personally guiding him through his college essays. Thanks to this one-on-one support, Thomas crafted a standout application that shined among thousands. 🌟
Recognizing that a traditional GPA didn't reflect Thomas’s true potential, Fendodo’s strategists highlighted his grade percentage performance, offering a more comprehensive picture of his academic capabilities.
The results? Thomas’s SAT score jumped from 1140 to 1380 👏 . This score jump was a dramatic improvement that expanded his college options and proved his growth. Today, Thomas has been accepted to a U.S. university ranked #93 and awarded a scholarship worth approximately NT$3,000,000 (about USD $90,000)! 🤩 His parents proudly joked that the scholarship paid back every penny of the counseling fees. 💰
Thomas’s story is proof that with the right guidance and dedication, anyone can turn their academic path around. Success isn’t reserved for the top students — it’s possible for everyone to rise. 💫
