Kai Tan

University of Chicago
Pure Mathematics (Master's)
Admission offer

From ADHD to the University of Chicago. Turned away by several international schools, Kai had strong math instincts but struggled with focus and executive function. By challenging him with advanced math to build confidence, breaking long-term goals into daily wins, and weekly reviews, he completed his undergraduate degree at Simon Fraser University and is now in a pure mathematics master's program at the University of Chicago.
