Syrian youth who's a debater, soccer player, and a future Stanford graduate!
I started applying to colleges after being accepted into the Syrian Youth Empowerment Initiative, which supports Syrian students by offering mentorship, application fee waivers, and covering the costs of the SAT and language proficiency tests. I had planned to apply to over 20 colleges, but I did not submit any other applications after being accepted to Stanford, which was my dream school. I hope my application is helpful to whoever reads it. Good luck y'all!
