Please tell us why you are a good fit for Stanford OHS. Then, please explain how Stanford
OHS would fit into your plans for next year and beyond.

This June, my family will be moving to California and I will begin my junior year of high
school. I want to take the next step in my education and raise the bar for my last two years of
high school in an environment that offers challenging and engaging academics in a global
setting. For the past twelve years, I have been attending Concordia International School
Shanghai, an international school with a diverse student body, rigorous academics, and plentiful
extracurricular activities. I believe that Stanford OHS will be an exciting and mentally
stimulating next step in the trajectory of my education; it will allow me to continue growing into
my identities as a global citizen as well as a student who is passionate about her schooling. I
believe I am a good fit for Stanford OHS because I am a detail-oriented self-starter who loves to
delve deeply into her work. I am independent, excited to learn, and enthusiastic to connect with a
global network of students. I am also open to new opportunities and want to take more risks! I
believe that Stanford OHS will help me do that and more.
In addition, I love to be involved in my community, and have been an active participant
in Model United Nations, Global Leadership Summit, service trips, National Honor Society, and
Track and Field. I am enthusiastic about Stanford OHSs vibrant extracurricular roster, and hope
to share and expand the experiences that I have had as a Third Culture Kid.
In terms of how Stanford OHS fits into my plans, if granted admission I would like to
attend as a full-time student for my junior and senior years. Living in the Bay Area, I intend on
joining a community sports team and bible study youth group to create a local community for
myself. Stanford OHS will allow me to pursue both local and international communities and
bridge the gap between high school and collegiate education; as much as I will miss my friends
and school here in Shanghai, I am excited for the prospect of new challenges and classmates.
