In my final two years of school, I had a strong ambition to successfully apply to best universities in Uzbekistan, as well as try to get into some prestigious colleges abroad. Perhaps, my ambitious nature has been fueled by my passion for chess, which I play both as an amateur and a professional. The two years in the AppGrade prep course have transformed me from an academic amateur into university admissions professional. I have been admitted into 17 universities – including best international universities in Tashkent, two prestigious universities in Dubai, and one in Poland – and almost all of them with scholarship and financial aid offers. Fast-forward to now, three years later, and I’ve already won the Tashkent international universities chess championship at the British Management University student. My ambition has been evolving in positive, meaningful direction since my learning experience with Mr. Alisher Abdaliev, founder of Action! Method. Now, I’m contributing to the society and the people as I’m teaching chess classes at a secondary school and I’m loving it!
