Student X approached us for profile building guidance in grade 9. An IB student, he had decided to focus on biology, chemistry, and mathematics, dropping physics. We began by understanding his interests, hobbies, likes, dislikes, and academic background. He had tried various activities, including football, classical Hindustani music, taekwondo, theatre, and badminton. However, he continued only theatre and badminton in senior school.Student X recognized that he often started activities without completing them.
His self-motivation and willingness to seek expert guidance made our work easier. To rule out medicine as a career, he took foundational NEET coaching in grade 10 while managing his MYP e-assessment. After grade 10 exams, he began research, and by the end of grade 11, he had published his work under a research guide. His study of biology in grade 11 sparked an interest in nutrition and fitness, leading to an internship at a health and nutrition startup.
He was accepted by all four Canadian universities he applied to for undergraduate programs in Life Sciences and Biomedical Sciences. This year, he will be joining McGill University.
