This is a story of two boys from different towns who, without meeting, attended the same after-school science program and then applied to the same American university.
Dan attended the first year of Science World’s teen program, Future Science Leaders (FSL), in Surrey. The next year, he completed FSL’s Engineering stream in Vancouver. He says both these years helped inspire him to apply to the University of Pennsylvania.
Pierre lived in Vancouver and attended two years of FSL at Science World. But, because he completed the Research stream, he and Dan didn't meet. Pierre agrees the program helped with his application to Penn as well.
