Let’s delve deeper into the outstanding strengths that helped her achieve this prestigious scholarship at Fordham University!
Throughout her three years in high school, Gia Han received invaluable support from her academic advisors in navigating university selection and preparing her applications. Additionally, they assisted her in fostering connections with senior students, who provided her with valuable insights into effective essay writing strategies.
Her scholarship application essay delved into the topic of “The evolving perspectives on environmental issues across generations and strategies to counter prevalent misconceptions.” Inspired by her practical experiences during internships at leading businesses – part of Vinschool’s early career orientation initiatives for high school students, the essay showcased a distinctive personal touch, pragmatic viewpoint, and compelling argumentation. It effectively swayed the admissions committees of US universities.
“The internship experience has provided me with invaluable insights and networking opportunities within the Marketing industry, offering a glimpse into my future career path. These experiences have significantly enriched the depth and practicality of my essay, setting it apart. At Vinschool, I’ve had the privilege to cultivate my passion within a disciplined and professional environment. The school has furthered my practical experience through involvement in clubs like Youth for Sustainable Future and Vintamin Club,” shared Gia Han.
“Furthermore, prioritizing personal well-being and upholding discipline, values ingrained and practiced at Vinschool, has been instrumental in my academic accomplishments. These attributes have nurtured optimism, confidence, and a proactive mindset, equipping me to tackle challenges at the university level,” she added.
“Don’t shy away from challenging yourself with institutions that may seem out of reach; dare to transcend limitations and persevere. “Fortune favors the bold”, as the saying goes,” Gia Han stresses in a message directed towards fellow Vinsers with aspirations of securing prestigious scholarships at leading universities in the US. “Moreover, don’t solely focus on core academic studies; allocate time to engage in and savor the school’s extracurricular activities. This will not only enhance your scholarship applications but also enrich your high school experience at Vinschool,” she concluded.
