Yan Yin from Malaysia, received a prize for excellence in Economics. She achieved the highest Economics score in the college. With A*s in Maths and Economic and A grades in Physics and Further Maths Yan Yin is now well prepared for university to read her favourite subject: Economics at LSE. Her natural aptitude for the subject has enabled us to speculate that she may well make a significant contribution to the subject in the future. Yan Yin made a strong impression over the years with all her teachers with her natural good humour and high level of motivation.
