An academically high achieving student, Dima has been accepted into University of Pennsylvania (commonly called UPenn), which is ranked tenth in the U.S college rankings and fifteenth in the world university rankings.
During his time at CATS Academy Boston, Dima has taken advantage of the Advanced Placement (AP) courses on offer and has balanced a rigorous academic schedule with a wide range of extracurricular opportunities.
With an ambition to major in Economics at UPenn’s prestigious business school The Wharton School, Dima further demonstrated his interest in this subject by attending the Harvard Pre-College Program in Summer 2023, taking two courses: International Trade and Economics of Emerging Markets.
College counselor, Jeremy Adams, explained that he introduced Dima to UPenn “given his interest in economics”. Jeremy also encouraged Dima to apply via Early Decision as this processes “strongly increases a student’s chances of being accepted. We were also able to secure him a large financial aid package that met 100% of his demonstrated need through grant/scholarship funding and work-study.”
An active CATS Boston community member, Dima is co-president of the Student Government and Founder of the CATS Eastern European Club. Balancing his academic activities, he has contributed creative writing to the school’s literary magazine, The Griffen Review, and played on the Ultimate Frisbee Team.
