33 High School Students, 9 Accepted to Harvard – A New Model of Success in the Age of AI When AI can now solve IMO-level problems in minutes—problems that once took even the brightest minds days to crack; when top students from the U.S. Math Olympiad Program are unexpectedly rejected by MIT in early admissions—some of the most trusted “paths to success” are quietly breaking down. Against this backdrop, one phenomenon stands out: In 2026, 9 out of 33 high school students closely observed over time by Prof. Po-Shen Loh, former national coach of the U.S. Math Olympiad team, were admitted to Harvard. Notably, these weren’t typical “international competition winners.” The question is: What led Harvard to choose them? In this session, Prof. Loh challenges what “success” really means today by asking these questions: · Why are top universities looking beyond grades? · What qualities are they really looking for in students? · How can students, from elementary through high school, build skills that actually shape your future? · What choices can parents make now that will shape their children’s future over the next decade? 💡 You’ll learn: How this group of students, whom Prof. Loh has closely mentored and observed over time, grew by building strong communication, critical thinking, character, and empathy—and how, by focusing on growth rather than admissions, they went on to earn recognition from top universities around the world. 😎 Who Should Attend: Parents who want to prepare their kids for success Teachers and Administration looking for powerful strategies to adopt in education Students debating future careers Community leaders focused on developing opportunity Anyone curious about how AI, education, and the job market will shape the next 20 years Speaker Info The speaker, Po-Shen Loh, has traveled to over 100 cities in recent years, delivering talks on this topic and gaining insights from diverse audiences—a tour that was even featured by The Wall Street Journal.
