苏宇晗 Ryan

法拉古特2025届毕业生

录取院校：范德堡大学

在2025届大学申请季中，法拉古特学校SR3班的苏宇晗（Ryan）凭借出众的学术能力和丰富的综合素质，斩获了范德堡大学（Vanderbilt  University）数学专业；加州大学圣地亚哥分校（Uiversity of California-San Diego）；佛罗里达大学（University of Florida）；伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳 - 香槟分校（University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign）；加州大学欧文分校（University of California, Irvine）；加州大学戴维斯分校（University of California, Davis）；加州大学圣芭芭拉分校（University of California, Santa Barbara）；俄亥俄州立大学（The Ohio State University）等多所顶尖名校的 offer。

这个热爱音乐、足球、棒球与阅读的少年，用在法拉古特的时光，书写了一段关于理性与热爱交织、成长与蜕变并存的精彩篇章。而他钟爱的那句 “If you can see, look. If you can look, observe.”，恰是他成长之路的生动注脚。

Ryan的成长轨迹，早早便显露出对数学的浓厚兴趣。从小学开始，他便投身数学竞赛，屡次斩获全市前几名的佳绩，还曾代表市队出征，在一次次思维的博弈中，对这门学科的热爱愈发深厚。与此同时，受身为医务人员的父母影响，他从小便对医疗领域格外关注，自2018年起，便跟随母亲长期参与医疗志愿活动，在奉献中体会责任与担当。

足球社团是Ryan高中生活中浓墨重彩的一笔。在这里，他结识了许多不同课程体系的朋友，大家因共同的爱好相聚，一起看球、聊战术，在绿茵场上挥洒汗水，在欢声笑语中增进友谊。这段经历不仅让他的课余生活更加丰富，更让他学会了在团队中协作、在竞争中成长，这些能力的提升，远比输赢本身更有意义。

而阅读，则是Ryan与世界对话的另一种方式。他认为，读书能让自己与不同时代、不同经历的人进行“面对面”的交谈，汲取他们独特的思考，帮助自己更好地了解世界、思考问题。尤其钟情于推理小说的他，沉醉于其中的逻辑感与博弈感，这种对逻辑的敏感，也潜移默化地助力了他的数学学习。学校宽松的阅读氛围，让他能随时沉浸在书籍的世界里，不断汲取养分。

选择数学专业，尤其是应用数学方向，Ryan 有着自己深刻的考量。他深知，在科技、经济、医疗、人工智能等诸多风口领域，数学都扮演着至关重要的角色。“数学不仅是一门工具的艺术，更是理性与美的统一体。将抽象世界中的秩序引入现实，会是我未来的目标。”这份认知，让他对未来的专业学习充满期待。

小时候的 Ryan

对于大学期间的自己，Ryan希望能更从容地面对模糊的问题，在不确定中锻造判断，在复杂中寻找清晰。而法拉古特的经历，早已为他铺设好了基石：自由多元的氛围培养了他的独立精神，老师们的因材施教让他敢于质疑问题，同学间的思想碰撞拓宽了他的视野。他明白，真正的学习不是追求正确答案，而是敢于提出有价值的问题。

Ryan

Farragut Class of 2025 Graduate

Admitted to: Vanderbilt University

During the 2025 university application season, Su Yuhan (Ryan) from Farragut School's SR3 class secured offers from top universities such as Vanderbilt University's Mathematics program; the University of California-San Diego; the University of Florida; the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign; the University of California, Irvine; the University of California, Davis; the University of California, Santa Barbara; The Ohio State University, and other top-tier universities.

This young man, who loves music, soccer, baseball, and reading, used his time at Farragut to write a wonderful chapter about the intertwining of reason and passion, growth and transformation. His favorite quote, “If you can see, look. If you can look, observe,” is a vivid commentary on his path to growth.

Ryan's growth trajectory revealed his keen interest in mathematics at an early age. Starting in elementary school, he devoted himself to math competitions, repeatedly winning top rankings in the city and even representing the city team in competitions. Through these intellectual battles, his love for the subject grew ever deeper. At the same time, influenced by his parents, who are medical professionals, he has always been particularly interested in the medical field. Since 2018, he has been actively participating in medical volunteer activities alongside his mother, gaining a deeper understanding of responsibility and dedication through his contributions.

The soccer club was a highlight of Ryan's high school life. Here, he met many friends from different academic programs who shared his passion for the sport. They gathered to watch games, discuss tactics, sweat it out on the field, and strengthen their friendships through laughter and camaraderie. This experience not only enriched his extracurricular life but also taught him the importance of collaboration within a team and growth through competition. The development of these skills proved far more meaningful than the outcome of the games themselves.

Reading is another way for Ryan to connect with the world. He believes that reading allows him to engage in “face-to-face” conversations with people from different eras and backgrounds, absorbing their unique perspectives and helping him better understand the world and approach problems. Particularly fond of mystery novels, he is captivated by their logical structure and strategic elements. This sensitivity to logic has also subtly enhanced his mathematical learning. The school's relaxed reading environment allows him to immerse himself in the world of books at any time, constantly absorbing knowledge and inspiration.

In addition to soccer and reading,

Ryan also has a special fondness for the violin.

Ryan participated in many science and technology competitions since he was young. The above is the first prize certificate of the Youth Science and Technology Competition.

When planning his path to studying abroad, Ryan firmly chose the American high school curriculum. In his junior year, he started with subjects that were relatively easy to get a 5 in to build a solid foundation. In his senior year, he consciously chose some liberal arts subjects to balance his knowledge system, while also choosing practical subjects for the future, such as computer science. This gradual and comprehensive course selection strategy not only made his academic background more well-rounded, but also laid the foundation for his future professional studies.

Throughout the application process, Ryan remained true to himself. He believed that universities value unique personalities and potential rather than perfect “templates.” When he received Vanderbilt University's offer, he was both surprised and relieved. He felt that the school may have been impressed by his dedication to mathematics, his sense of responsibility demonstrated in volunteer activities, and his comprehensive skills reflected in his diverse interests.

Ryan has his own profound considerations for choosing mathematics, especially applied mathematics. He is well aware that mathematics plays a crucial role in many cutting-edge fields such as technology, economics, medicine, and artificial intelligence. “Mathematics is not only the art of tools, but also the unity of rationality and beauty. Bringing order from the abstract world into reality will be my goal for the future.” This understanding fills him with anticipation for his future professional studies.

Ryan as a child

When it comes to his college years, Ryan hopes to be able to handle unclear questions more calmly, make decisions when things are uncertain, and find clarity in complex situations. His time at Farragut has already laid the foundation for this: the free and diverse atmosphere there helped him develop an independent spirit, his teachers encouraged him to question things, and talking with his classmates helped him see things from different angles. He knows that real learning isn't about finding the right answers, but about asking questions that matter.
