## Student Testimonials

"It was a great workout. I used my brain a lot and got tired, but it was fun and the time flew by. I think repeating this will build my confidence."

"I realized that what I had been assuming as a premise in my research was actually a hypothesis, so it became clear what gaps I need to fill in the future."

"I've never had the chance to hear about the research of other students aiming for SFC, so it was a very valuable time."

"Through the dialogue, I was able to organize and confirm my current understanding of my research, which was very meaningful."

*Includes testimonials from participants of other courses conducted in a similar format to the SFC Special Lecture.

## Background

Keio University's SFC comprehensive selection (AO) entrance exam requires the ability to independently think about one's reasons for applying and research themes, and to explain them in one's own words. However, opportunities for applicants to deepen their research themes individually or receive feedback from diverse perspectives are limited. Loohcs Academy is launching this course to provide a place where applicants with the same goals can learn from each other while working on deepening their research themes and improving their interview skills.
