Dear All,
Please kindly forward this email to your organization.
It's that time of the year again: high school seniors know where
they are going after this last semester in high school.
We are proudly to share with you an exciting news: Nancy Xie will be
attending Harvard University this fall on a full scholarship!
Nancy is daughter of Fan Xie, a graduate of Department of Chinese
Literature of Zhongshan University (a.k.a. Sun Yat-Sen University).
"What makes her a successful candidate for Harvard?"
"It's not about the old myth of GPA and SATs. Then what IS it
about?"
"What are colleges looking for in an application?"
"How does the parents' way of upbringing contribute to shaping who
the child is today?"
"Can I learn some 'secret sauce' from her to help my kids?"
"Can I learn from her parents more about her?
...
If you are curious about her achievement and questions like the
above pop up in your mind, you are cordially invited to attend an
education seminar,
"Cracking the College Myth"
It is a discussion forum where you will have plenty of opportunities
to interact with Nancy and her parents in an informal setting via
Q&A.
