L同学来自天津公立学校，学术很优异，并且非常刻苦，但受制于公立学校的环境，孩子在软实力上比较欠缺。所以在整个申请中，除了凸显孩子在学术上的能力外，我们更多的通过不同的途径来呈现孩子突破自我的过程，比如如何在全英文环境下胜出，如何通过公共演讲来战胜自己等，最终得以在今年激烈的角逐中胜出。

学生不想重读9年级，成绩中上，不算拔尖，在没有SSAT只有托福的情况下，收到了不少录取。学生最初面试表现紧张，后来经过训练，变得健谈。

参加了 Loomis 夏校之后非常喜欢，全力投入到美高的申请过程中。平时喜欢电影、历史；有的电影前前后后看了十几遍，谈到历史也是滔滔不绝；从小打篮球，也希望去了美高可以继续参加篮球队；在访校和面试过程中，安排了和多个学校的篮球教练沟通并一直保持联系。
