"During my IB journey, mentorship was transformative, seamlessly blending real-life applications and contemporary research to make learning both engaging and impactful. The guidance I received ignited my passion for biomedical engineering and bioinformatics, particularly during the pandemic. I was mentored through research on mutations in the RdRp protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and their effects on its binding to the drug remdesivir, significantly enhancing the quality of my work and deepening my interest in research.
This mentorship also inspired me to develop a research proposal at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, focused on novel perioperative cancer therapy aimed at preventing recurrence while promoting surgical wound healing. This proposal earned a $4,500 grant, marking a significant milestone in my academic journey.
The support and dedication provided by this mentorship profoundly shaped my education and scientific aspirations, for which I am deeply grateful."

"Mr. Karthik played a pivotal role in my success throughout the IB MYP, IBDP, and college application process, guiding both my academic and personal development over three transformative years. As the MYP and then as a DP Coordinator, he ensured a seamless learning experience during the pandemic, helping me achieve a perfect 56/56 in MYP and 45/45 in IBDP, earning the distinction of IB MYP and IBDP World Topper.
His mentorship extended beyond academics, providing invaluable support in extracurricular activities, internships, and research projects. Under his guidance, I secured prestigious internships, including one at the National Institute of Rural Development, which significantly enriched my learning and bolstered my university application. His strong belief in my potential and tailored mentorship were instrumental in my acceptance to the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. I am profoundly grateful for his support and dedication in helping me achieve my goals.
