Fangxu (Tiger) Lu '16 Recruiting Profile

2014 HighlightsPersonal Statement
My name is Tiger, a junior at The Hopkins School in New Haven, CT, which is a private, college-prep school. I have always valued education and I am taking challenge courses of AP Physics and AP Calculus this year. I have taken SAT subjects in math and chemistry this summer as well. I really want to study pre-medicine in an academically high standard college.
In addition, soccer has been a very important part of my life. I have transitioned from a "wild player" to "formal player" about 4 years ago when I immigrated with my family from China to US. I have played for New Haven Travel team U12 through U14 in middle school, Hopkins School JV in freshman year and Hopkins School Varsity since sophomore, and I am in CFC premier league as well. I am a dynamic player who is able to play variety of positions for the team and quickly adapt to challenges. I have good foot skills and visions, and the most important, I play the hardest in every game. I strive to improve myself everyday and would like to continue playing soccer in college.
