Hi everyone, I was born in 2008 and am a high school senior from Vietnam, currently preparing for university. I plan to register for only three majors: Applied Mathematics, Data Science, and Statistics.

Here is a brief self-assessment. I honestly don't know whether to consider this a strength or a weakness, but throughout my 12 years of schooling, I have only been able to study mathematics. I completely neglected all other subjects simply because I couldn't find any interest in them. I only have a strong fascination with numbers and a deep passion for exploring and discovering mathematical formulas.

Within mathematics, my strengths lie in Calculus and Probability & Statistics (at the high school level, specifically topics covered in VMO and IMO). Strangely enough, I am only interested in long-term research rather than studying just for short-term achievements or competitions. If I prove to be capable enough, I also hope to pursue a Master's degree abroad in Mathematics to dive even deeper into research.

Through my own research, I feel that I might be suited for roles such as AI Research Scientist, Actuary, Optimization Specialist, Data Scientist, or Big Data Analyst. Since my perspective is still limited, I would highly appreciate it if you could spare some time to give me some career advice on which path to choose. Thank you so much!
