When Kasy received offers from the University of Hong Kong, University College London, University of Edinburgh, University of Manchester and University of Southampton, she was very excited, but not too surprised. This girl who found her pace of learning in "Royal Mile Academy" of MIS has used two years to prove one thing: only schools and teaching methods that suit you can inspire students' true potential.

Kasy's high school career was not easy. In her previous school, as a liberal arts student, she frequently experience a sense of invisibility in science-oriented settings. The high-pressure environment made her feel unbearable stress, so she chose to transfer in her last two years of high school. "MIS not only focuses on our studies, but also has many extracurricular activities and pays attention to the all-round development of students. This is something I have never experienced before. This allows us to have a good balance between work and rest."

MIS offered her a completely new environment:

Small class sizes ensured teachers could focus on every student.

A balanced approach to work and rest, keeping her grades consistently at A or above.

Teachers were both mentors and friends—classrooms were relaxed, with a touch of humor.

A wide range of extracurricular activities truly nurtured well-rounded development.

After just two months of transferring, she achieved an outstanding IELTS score of 8.0.

As the application season came to a close, Kasy received offers from 5 world-renowned universities:

◾University of Hong Kong (Social Work)

◾University College London (Biomedical Sciences)

◾University of Edinburgh, University of Manchester, and University of Southampton (Politics and International Relations)

Among these, HKU was her dream school all along.

◾Debate-forged critical thinking

◾World affairs analyzed through a global prism

◾Career ambitions rooted in diplomatic service

My interest in international relations originated from participating in debate and following current affairs, which inspired me to examine issues through a global perspectives. After graduation, I aim to work in diplomacy or adjacent sectors. Even if not at the national level, I hope to contribute in closely related professional domains.

◾Volunteered as a teacher in Year 10, sparking her passion for community service.

◾Consistently participates in volunteer work (nursing homes, environmental conservation, etc.)

◾Enjoys helping others and solving social issues.

"Volunteering opened my eyes to social issues," said Kasy. "I’m driven by solving them to create change. Remember: Your support network makes dreams possible—mine helped me go from late-start applications to my dream school!"

She thanked "Her parents for unwavering support through every challenge,Her "RMA" teachers for being both inspiring educators and caring friends who helped her achieve consistent A grades, Her school counselors for their patient guidance in perfecting her applications, which made her dream school admission possible despite starting late."

I can play the guzheng and have been playing it for eight years. I also like singing, taking photos and trying new things with my family and friends.

I always tell myself that I have not failed as long as I have tried my best. In the future, I hope to continue to work hard and make progress in the field I like, and I hope I can live up to my own heart.

Motto "No regret if I have tried my best"

Parents: Unconditional support for all her choices

Teachers: Mentors and friends who helped stabilize her grades from fluctuating to consistent A grades

School's Guidance Team: Relied entirely on school support (instead of agencies) for PS revisions and application materials

"Every path is the right one."

For those with clear future goals, I recommend participating in relevant competitions and non-competitive activities to build a well-rounded profile—don’t let your academic scores be the only highlight. When application season arrives, there’s no need to stress too much. Just do your best, and your efforts will pay off. Wishing everyone success in gaining admission to their dream universities.

From MIS to HKU, Kasy's journey proves: Education isn't a one-size-fits-all mold, but a spark that ignites individuality. May every student find their unique rhythm and chase dreams fearlessly!
