Scarlet Kim

Former Student & Intern, Attending KAIST

Hello, I'm Scarlet. This fall, I'm excited to join KAIST, and while I remain undecided, I am leaning towards majoring in mathematics. I eagerly anticipate exploring the intricate link between math and societal applications.

During my last two years of high school in the IBDP program, being in a smaller class transformed my perspective. The intimate interactions and diverse experiences made me more outgoing and broadened my viewpoint. I learned to tackle complex challenges head-on. My advice to incoming seniors: Embrace a variety of activities. Stretch your boundaries and venture into uncharted territories.

I aspire to find a career that constantly offers learning, fulfillment, and joy. While this goal may sound broad, I trust that my university journey, new connections, and experiences will guide my path.

Ariel from Millie played an instrumental role in my university application journey, assisting in the planning of my US essays and providing invaluable feedback on my UCAS and Singapore university personal statements.

What resonates with me about Millie is its genuine commitment to be the “big brothers & sisters” to international students. Whether I reached out to Ariel for university applications or Giuseppe and Jenna during my internship, I always felt supported and assured of high-quality guidance.

In today’s landscape, where many mentoring opportunities might appear transactional, creating a barrier between mentor and mentee, Millie stands out. Their ability to foster genuine relationships without compromising on professionalism is truly commendable.
