Sıla Nur says that she plans to take part in research on quantum computers after graduation and aims to use the potential of quantum to improve the quality of life of people.

Regarding her success story, Sıla Nur said the following:

"Being an Üsküdar American student has been a great advantage both academically and socially. I can say that the clubs and activities that enabled me to discover my interests made me more than just an academically successful student, but an individual who is intertwined with life.

I am grateful to my school, to my teachers who have always supported me in pursuing my dreams, who have always been behind me in my projects, who have never lost their interest and support for a moment, and to my university counselors who never left me unanswered despite their intensity during the application process, who always trusted and believed in me and helped me find the courage to apply to Harvard University."

We sincerely congratulate our student on this important achievement, we are proud of her and we look forward to more good news.
