A Journey of Building a Strong Personal Profile - Case Study of Student J

Student J began Grade 10 struggling to adjust to a new English-speaking international school and feeling uncertain about applying to overseas universities.

Over two years, FenDoDo helped J develop a clear academic direction, build a well-rounded creative portfolio, and achieve admission to 12 universities—including UC Irvine, UC Davis, and Emerson College.
