Exceptional student from Marlborough College Malaysia gains Harvard University place

Elisa Yicen See from Marlborough College Malaysia has achieved an extraordinary milestone by being accepted into Harvard University, one of the world's most prestigious academic institutions.

The Master of Marlborough College Malaysia, Mr Simon Burbury said, “The College is absolutely delighted to hear that Elisa has been offered a place at Harvard to study.  She is an exceptional student who achieved a perfect score of 1600 out of 1600 in her recent Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT). Last year out of the 1.7 million students to take the test only 300 achieved full marks - that’s 0.0002%. Her result was outstanding.”

Elisa who is a boarder at the College has always been committed to all parts of College life from the sports field to her Academic Scholarship, as well as contributing positively to the community with her outreach projects. She is thrilled to receive this opportunity to join the Harvard community and said, 

“Concentrating in Government at Harvard will allow me to explore not just the theories I have been introduced to in my IB classes but current social movements, especially social media’s role in political activism, allowing me to develop the techniques I currently employ in NGO initiatives" 

We are so proud of Elisa’s hard work and dedication to her studies and congratulate her on this outstanding accomplishment.
