STS助力TA们录取梦校
在有方荣获STS Top300的学员中，就有不少学员在收获一段独特的科研经历的同时，还翠鹿梦校继续深造！
有方学员喜报
其中被麻省理工学院，加州理工学院双录取的，他在去年早申阶段拿下了自己梦寐以求的MIT CS的Offer！而之所以能够圆梦MIT，这也与他参加STS的经历密不可分：
有方G同学 / 美高
· 早申录取：MIT CS
· 学术成绩：GPA unweighted 4.0/4.0, ACT 35
· 参赛奖项：STS Top300
在采访时，G同学坦言这是他第一次尝试科研，在收获一段充实的科研经历的同时，参加STS的赛事经历让他学会尊重学术、尊敬科研。
在有方老师的帮助下，G同学通过一个研究项目将爱好和科研相结合并参加了STS，通过这段参赛经历提升自己的学术成就，赢得了梦校的青睐。
"经过这段经验，我对科研的理解更加深入，在享受科研的过程中也获得了提升！"C同学对自己的科研经历有说不完的话，相信也正是感受到了他对科研的这份热忱，所以才收到了MIT招生官的肯定！
再次恭喜进入STS Top300的有方学子，也让我们共同期待他们RD申请的好成绩！
科研是周期性的项目，需要较长的准备时间。从G同学的经历中，我们不难发现正是因为他科学高效地最大化利用了科研经历去助力申请，才达到了事半功倍的效果。
