Hangzhou Entel Foreign Language School hosted Yale admissions officer Dr. Mica Rencher on March 13 for a seminar on leveraging cultural identity in elite university applications. Dr. Rencher emphasized contextualizing personal narratives within China’s “collective cultural codes,” urging students to showcase heritage innovation through projects like AI-driven preservation of Jiangnan traditions.

Entel leadership highlighted alumni success, including 2022 Yale admit Hao Beixi, as proof of its cross-cultural pedagogy. The school and Yale discussed deepening collaboration on admissions guidance and student mentorship programs.
