LOL, no time to maintain the site

Briefly speaking, UIUC & GIT applications are both complete.

Still working on UC essays.

For UK, I'm still waiting for interview invitation from Cambridge. If I get it, I'll get mock interviews after A-levels.

Dear mentors from Shuying Academy,

Welcome to my webpage dedicated to live updates of my university applications! You will now be able to access information about my applications while I am in my cozy bed, snoring, or in the middle of an examination, repenting of my sins. The webpage is meticulously hierarchized for easy navigation. In case of difficulties, you may find the search button at the top right corner particularly useful :P

I wish the information here could be helpful, but in case of further queries, please don't hesitate to reach out to me on WeChat or email to raymondfonghow@gmail.com or fanghao@shuyingacademy.com! For emergencies, please call +65 8648 1108.

Have a wonderful day ahead :D

Best Regards,

Raymond

Test Scores

My historical SATs & TOEFLs

[1] The Education & Career Guidance (ECG) Policy of my school, Hwa Chong Institution, supports a maximum of 8 US applications per student only, with any number of universities belong to the University of California System counted as 1 application.

[2] HCI ECG Policy discourages students from applying Cambridge (or Oxford) with a ED admission plan in the US at the same time. As per my knowledge, should a student decides to do so, the ECG department will send notices to Cambridge (or Oxford) and the ED school to warn that the student is benefiting from both US and UK early round of application. Therefore, as I am applying to University of Cambridge, I am currently not considering an ED admission plan for my US application.
