✨ Getting Into Bowdoin: How One Decision Can Completely Change Your Application In the recent interview, together with Alpamis Makhmutov, we explored how to build extracurriculars that genuinely reflect your personality, values, and long-term goals. This week, we continue the conversation with Abrorbek Samijonov, an incoming student at Bowdoin College who received a $388,000 scholarship and was also admitted to Carnegie Mellon University Qatar and the University of Toronto. In Episode XII of the Freshman Getting In series, we'll discuss how one bold decision—leaving a Presidential School to become a FLEX alumnus—completely transformed Abrorbek's trajectory and became a defining part of his application. We'll also explore how he built ScholarConnect, attended the Babson Summer Study program, approached liberal arts colleges, and crafted an application that reflected both his academic interests and long-term vision. Join us for an inside look at the decisions, experiences, and mindset that helped Abrorbek earn admission to some of the world's most selective universities. 📅 Friday, August 14th, 7PM (UTC +5) 📲 Get the event link via @FreshmanAcademy_Bot Freshman Alumni Network members will receive a separate link via the official Alumni Channel. @freshmanblog

If you wanna know your true value for someone, just look at how much they're willing to sacrifice for you

Gold is precious because of its scarcity and limited availability. It doesn’t react with most of other substances and it’s hard to remove its electrons. So the perceived value depends on the exclusivity. This isn’t about gold.

Last day for registration, hurry up

The keeper be letting every ball in atp

Urunov seems like he doesn’t wanna be there. What a shame

What a goallllll

Small Liberal Arts Colleges (LACs) are the hidden gems of admissions and their application is totally different from Large Research University applications. Most of the colleges I applied were LACs and I learned fast that they care more about FIT than anything else. You can have 1500+ SAT, APs, crazy honors and Rec letters, yet if you don't share the same values and match their vibe, you'll end up REJECTED. Out of all the LACs I applied to, only Bowdoin said yes and I am sure it's mainly because they could imagine me thriving at Bowdoin. Especially, if you are applying ED, financial aid shouldn't be the only thing you care about. Your ED choice is where you'll be spending your next 4 years. So choosing the right college with common values and interests is the most IMPORTANT thing. Comment below which college feels like the right fit for you, and WHY?
