*🎉 Welcome to Harvard, Azizbek!*

Coming from Fergana and studying at the Academic Lyceum of WIUT, Azizbek will pursue Politics at №1 ranked university in this field.

Azizbek's story with Freshman started in October 2023 when he joined the Alumni Network after completing the SAT English Program.

In March, he became the first student enrolled at Freshman's Full Support 2024. With a perfect GPA, he scored 1520 on the SAT and 8.0 on the IELTS.

On the extracurricular front, Azizbek has started the Ibrat Debate, Uzbekistan's national debating network.

He also conducted a private research project, started a local writing society, and participated in various Youth Agency projects.

Azizbek has worked extensively with many Freshman team members, including Dr. Lyusyena, Valera, Sega, Sanjar, and Mishael.

At Freshman, he profoundly investigated Ivy League education, analyzed foundational Political Science texts, and formulated a vision for the Ibrat Debate.

Under Dr. Lyusyena's guidance, Azizbek boosted his research skills. Leveraging the Freshman network, he also met Jamoliddin Ergashzoda, a professional debating coach based in Southeast Asia, who advised him on nationwide competitive debating.

Azizbek wrote more than 60 pages of reflections, spanning many months, and held many informal discussions with Valera, a Yale-NUS Political Science and Philosophy graduate.

His drive, perseverance, and determination allowed him to make the most out of Freshman's expertise, network, and resources, developed over half a decade.

You will undoubtedly hear more about his impact on Uzbekistan and Central Asia in the future. Our team wishes him the best in his pursuits!

⚡️A Harvard Student from the Academic Lyceum of WIUT

No IBs. No A-levels. No APs. Good old SAT 1520 and IELTS 8.0.

It has been a challenging year-long journey, and I am so proud of the personal transformation he has undergone.
