X’s Story
X’s academic performance was initially modest, with a GPA of 2.9. Despite this, X remained determined, taking on 7 AP courses. In G11, Semester 2, X faced discouraging feedback from school advisors who doubted their chances of getting into a Top 100 U.S. university.
With FenDoDo’s support, a dedicated team of seven advisors, including Damian, provided academic mentoring and psychological support. Damian’s background in counseling and planning inspired X to believe in their future and boosted their confidence.
FenDoDo’s head advisor monitored weekly progress and guided the creation of standout essays. To address GPA concerns, FenDoDo employed percentile-based evaluations to showcase X’s potential beyond numbers.
