如果只看结果：
两封伦敦大学学院录取通知书、曼彻斯特大学、伦敦国王学院、墨尔本大学、悉尼大学……英国G5超级精英大学、澳洲八大等高等学府纷纷伸出橄榄枝。
大家或许会觉得，Jason Lan是个典型的“学霸”。
但事实并非如此。Jason Lan的数学曾拿到C等级，生物成绩也曾在瓶颈期徘徊，他也曾在申请季的深夜，被“会不会没有学校可读”的焦虑裹挟。一个“非学霸型”学生，在广州斐特思，如何一步步接近自己的梦想？
If you only look at the results, you might be impressed:
two offers from University College London, along with offers from the University of Manchester, King's College London, the University of Melbourne, the University of Sydney, and other leading institutions, including the UK G5 and Australia's Group of Eight.
At first glance, many might assume that Jason Lan is a typical "top student."
But that is not the case. Jason once received a grade C in Mathematics, and his Biology results stagnated. During the application season, he also experienced moments of anxiety late at night, wondering whether he would receive any offers at all. So how did a "non-top student" gradually progress toward his dream at Fettes College Guangzhou?
在广州斐特思的升学课上，Jason Lan**次深入了解了生物医学、癌症生物医学等相关专业。一个全新的领域为他打开了大门。
During university guidance lessons at Fettes College Guangzhou, Jason first gained a deeper understanding of fields such as biomedical science and cancer biology.

“生命科学这个赛道非常需要人才，比如癌症，全球癌症研究经费在所有疾病研究中占比巨大，传染病、心脑血管疾病、老龄化，这些都属于生命科学的范畴，整个生命科学领域都致力于解决人类的重大难题。”升学老师说道。
“Life sciences require a great deal of talent. For example, cancer research receives a significant proportion of global research funding. Infectious diseases, cardiovascular conditions, and ageing all fall within this field. Life sciences as a whole are dedicated to addressing major challenges facing humanity,” his university counsellor explained.

“以前没有这么明确想学癌症生物医学，经过升学老师的分析后，我的方向更加清晰了。”Jason Lan的家人也有免疫系统相关的疾病，他认为“现在癌症发病率挺高的，很多家庭都有与癌症抗争的经历。我希望将来能帮助更多患癌的家庭，减轻他们的负担。”
“Before, I didn’t have a clear goal of studying cancer biology. After discussions with my counsellor, my direction became much clearer.” Jason also has family members with immune-related conditions. He shared, “Cancer rates are quite high now, and many families have experienced it in some way. I hope that in the future, I can help more families affected by cancer and ease their burden.”

医学知识随之增长
这份由己及人的朴素愿望，让他选择了医学这一条路。
对Jason而言，学医是一条充满挑战的路：他不仅需要取得**的学术成绩，还需要接触前沿的实验室设备，以获得真实的科研体验。
在升学团队的推荐下，2025年暑假，Jason前往苏州一家肿瘤实验室学习。
“比如生物技术中的基因技术，包括操作聚合酶链式反应（PCR），怎么给观察的细胞加荧光等。”Jason说道。在实验室，他陆续完成了凝胶电泳等实验，并参与了小鼠肿瘤药物疗效的细致观察。
This simple yet sincere motivation led him to choose the path of medicine.
For Jason, studying medicine is a challenging journey. It requires not only strong academic performance, but also exposure to advanced laboratory environments and real research experience.
With the recommendation of the university guidance team, Jason attended a cancer research laboratory in Suzhou during the summer of 2025.
“For example, in biotechnology, I learned gene techniques such as PCR and how to apply fluorescence to cells for observation,” Jason explained. He conducted experiments, including gel electrophoresis, and observed the effectiveness of tumour drugs in mice.

后来，在大学申请文书中，Jason提及自己这段经历，并发出了自己的疑问和思考：
“我看到有研究显示，有人用干细胞进行人造胰腺，我想到能不能也用干细胞重建胸腺？以此来治疗重症肌无力或者免疫系统相关的疾病。”
Later, he included this experience in his personal statement, raising his own questions and reflections:
“I read about research using stem cells to create artificial pancreases. This made me wonder whether stem cells could also be used to reconstruct the thymus, to treat conditions such as myasthenia gravis or other immune-related diseases.”
刚升入AS阶段时，Jason Lan的数学曾拿到C等级，若不能拿到A，那么进入名校深造医学的路，就比较艰难。在升学申请尚未收到回复、又面临重考数学的压力下，他曾陷入迷茫。
“AS阶段的暑假，要尽快把目标确认，完成文书，要把尽可能多的时间预留出来准备专业考试或大学入学考试”回顾往事，Jason提出了宝贵建议。
At the beginning of his AS studies, Jason received a grade C in Mathematics. Without achieving an A, pursuing medicine at a top university would be extremely difficult. While waiting for application results and preparing to retake the exam, he experienced a period of uncertainty.
“During the AS summer, it’s important to confirm your direction early, complete your personal statement, and leave as much time as possible to prepare for subject tests or university entrance exams,” Jason advised.
在这种情况下，数学老师Angela缓解了Jason的焦虑。她为Jason规划了一套严格执行的学习计划：
·每周固定进行小测验与大测验
·针对薄弱题型、怪题进行反复训练
·从底层知识点出发进行逐题拆解
During this time, his Mathematics teacher, Ms. Angela, helped ease his anxiety by creating a structured and disciplined study plan:
· Weekly quizzes and regular assessments
· Intensive practice on weaker and unfamiliar question types
· Breaking down problems step by step from fundamental concepts

回答Jason问题
“一件事情反复做10次，100次，你就很难去忘掉它。”每当Jason请教问题，Angela老师从不止步于“提示思路”。她会用iPad，把每一道题的完整解答过程呈现出来，一步一步，讲透为止。
半年后的考试中，Jason的数学从C跃升至A。“而且是分数很高的A。”Jason开心地说道。
“Once you repeat something 10 or even 100 times, it becomes very hard to forget.” Jason said. Whenever he asked questions, Ms. Angela went beyond simply giving hints. Using her iPad, she worked through each solution step by step, ensuring complete understanding.
Six months later, Jason improved his Mathematics grade from a C to an A—“and a very high A,” he added with a smile.
Jason的生物成绩也曾在瓶颈期徘徊，成绩单上，数学、进阶数学、化学都是A，唯独生物是B。
“做题的时候，我明明感觉都会了，但是每次一写就漏掉要点。”在时间紧张、需要重考的情况下，Jason非常焦虑。“我当时压力蛮大，一直担心考不好，或者是其他的学校没录上怎么办。你走到这一步，仿佛快要找到方向，却卡在原地，而你又必须继续前进。”
Jason also faced challenges in Biology. While his Mathematics, Further Mathematics, and Chemistry were all graded A, Biology remained at a B.
“When doing questions, I felt like I understood everything, however when writing answers, I kept missing key points.” Under time pressure and the need to retake exams, Jason felt significant stress. “I was worried about not performing well or not receiving offers. It feels like you are close to finding your direction, but stuck—and you still have to keep moving forward.”

生物老师Jennifer认为这个时候继续刷题可能增益不大。她把真题的每一种题型都逐一拆解。“比如在做‘原因分析题’时，先找准核心词、搞懂意思；看有没有明确作用机制，有就按过程分点答，没有就分析特点；还要注意题里的对比对象。抓住关键，用科学思路答题，才能拿分。”
错题本上的每一道错题都经过逐题分析，老师会持续追问Jason：为什么这里要写这个点？为什么这样组织答案？
His Biology teacher, Ms. Jennifer, believed that simply doing more questions would not solve the problem. Instead, she systematically broke down each type of exam question.
“We analysed the key words in mark schemes and studied the logic and structure of official answers.”
Every mistake was carefully reviewed. Ms. Jennifer continually asked: Why is this point necessary? Why is the answer structured this way?
Jennifer老师告诉他：“基础知识一定要非常扎实。***确定自己会了，才能说自己会了。”在反复拆解与复盘之后，Jason建立起了一套属于自己的答题逻辑。即使面对从未见过的新题，他也能迅速识别出题目想要考察的本质知识点，并组织出完整的答案。
She emphasised, “Your foundational knowledge must be absolutely solid. Only when you are **** sure can you say you truly understand.”
Through repeated analysis and reflection, Jason developed his own structured approach to answering questions. Even when faced with unfamiliar questions, he could quickly identify the underlying concepts and construct complete answers.

一些申请季经验
回顾自己的申请季，Jason总结了三个关键。
**，课堂专注是**效率。Jason建议课上专注学习，课后结合自己的笔记再复习一遍，发现不理解的地方**时间查教材，还有疑问再请教老师。
第二，拆题思维。面对一道题目，先判断它考察的是哪个知识点，再对照教材和笔记，分析官方答案的逻辑连接和语言组织方式。
第三，不拖延。Jason习惯每天列出to do list，一项一项打勾完成。
Looking back, Jason summarised four key lessons:
First, focusing in class is the most efficient way to learn. Stay attentive during lessons, review notes afterwards, identify gaps, check textbooks, and seek help from teachers when needed.
Second, develop a problem-solving mindset. Identify the knowledge point being tested, then analyse how answers are logically structured and expressed.
Third, avoid procrastination. Jason made daily to-do lists and completed tasks one by one.
Jason Lan的故事，不是“逆袭爽文”。它是一条由困惑、挣扎、突破与支持铺就的路。广州斐特思要做的，只是把每一个普通学生托举到他们所能抵达的**处。
