Our second student at Yale!

Freshman’s outstanding alumnus, Rustam Nuriev received a full scholarship at Yale University, an Ivy League school with an acceptance rate as low as 4.46%.

Rustam joined Freshman Community last summer, taking the Advanced English course for eight consecutive months. In November, he enrolled in our Admissions Program where we helped Rustam shape and effectively communicate his personal narrative to the admissions committee.

Reflecting on his involvement at Freshman, Rustam says:

I appreciate how much my personal values have coincided with those of Freshman. "Hope for the best but prepare for the worst" has long been my motto. However, Freshman helped me reinvigorate and act on this notion in my admissions preparation. I remember the many doubts I had when I wrote my essays last December. I thought that my second gap year was imminent, putting aside my Yale application as the task that seemed unreachable at the time. Yet, thanks to many hours of continuous personal guidance from Valera, I built a strong application for which I am very proud.

P.S. Rustam shared his experiences at our free admissions session yesterday. We will be releasing our presentation along with the event recording soon.
