Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the fundamental difference between our organization and commercial organizations?

iDreamer is not an institution; it is an awakening. Our existence is not about profit but about disruption—disrupting the barriers of scientific research, disrupting inequality in opportunities, and disrupting the "illusion of success" built upon money. As a nonprofit organization (registered in California, State ID: 6559374), we solemnly pledge: Every penny will be used to advance knowledge; every investment will ignite the flame of scientific research in students.

1.1 Core Differences Between Us and Commercial Institutions

Commercial institutions sell illusions, while iDreamer cultivates real strength. In commercial institutions, exorbitant fees buy a carefully crafted résumé—glossy yet hollow—helping students "sneak into" prestigious universities but leaving them struggling in the real academic world. Once the application process ends, their responsibility ceases, and your future is no longer their concern. iDreamer exists not to package, but to build true strength. Our mission is not just to help you enter a top university but to make you the kind of talent that elite institutions compete to recruit, ensuring you establish a solid footing in the world of research.

Financial Transparency—Funds Burn for Dreams

Our fees are significantly lower than those of commercial institutions, only covering the platform's basic operations. Every dollar's destination is made public on our website, subject to scrutiny by all, because we have nothing to hide.

1.2 Why Top Professors Choose iDreamer

True scholars are never short on money; they seek students worth mentoring. The professors collaborating with us do so without pay. They join iDreamer not for financial gain but to find students who are genuinely passionate about knowledge and daring enough to push the limits. They are looking for young minds that will stand alongside them in advancing research.

Strong individuals never lack income, and neither do top professors.

Elite professors have abundant research funding and countless opportunities, but what they lack are future research leaders worthy of their time and mentorship.

In commercial institutions, mentors complete tasks; in iDreamer, mentors shape the future. Our mentors are not working for salaries but are dedicated guides who ignite students’ dreams with wisdom and experience.

1.3 We Provide Real Opportunities for Dreamers

Money can be restrictive, but it cannot stop true dreamers.

Return Mechanism:

Outstanding students earn back their investment through their achievements. Your hard work and accomplishments will be recognized and rewarded. We believe that real value comes from continuous growth, not just financial transactions.

Fellowship Program:

Financial struggles should not be the end of dreams. We offer comprehensive support for students facing financial difficulties, ensuring that every talented young individual can set sail in the world of scientific research.

At iDreamer, you don’t need the right background—only courage and talent. We believe the power to change the world lies in those who are relentless in their pursuit of dreams.

1.4 We Don’t Sell Résumés—We Build Future Research Leaders

At iDreamer, you won’t receive a glorified résumé; you will gain real skills and an unshakable spirit. Every research project and exploration you undertake will become the foundation of your path to top institutions and research excellence.

We don’t help students "sneak into" top universities; We train students to become forces that transform these institutions.

Real research capability cannot be faked. Professors and admissions officers at elite universities can instantly distinguish between genuine expertise and artificial embellishment. Only true knowledge and skills will serve as your passport to the academic world.

If you are simply looking to buy your way into a top university, iDreamer is not for you. If you seek to push your limits and become part of the research world, iDreamer will be your strongest ally.

1.5 Our Commitment: No Shortcuts, Only Strength

At iDreamer, we don’t promise shortcuts because real growth is never easy. But we do promise one thing: to make you incredibly strong. iDreamer is more than a platform—it is a revolution for scientific fairness, a movement for knowledge awakening. Here, you won’t be reduced to an application form; you will be forged into a force that changes the world.

 

2. Why Did We Create This Organization? If There’s No Profit, Why Do We Do This?

iDreamer exists not for profit but because the world needs change. Today, scientific research is monopolized by resources and power. Too many talented students are locked out of opportunities simply because they lack money or connections. We created iDreamer because we refuse to accept this injustice and cannot stand by while true dreams are stifled.

2.1 We Exist to Break Down the Walls of the Research World

We have seen too many gifted students barred from research simply due to a lack of resources. Talent gets buried, dreams get crushed. We refuse to accept this reality—thus, iDreamer was born. Our mission is simple: To give every student with dreams and abilities access to the world of research, regardless of their background.

2.2 Our Drive Is Not Money—It Is Belief

The founders of iDreamer have already achieved success in their respective fields. We don’t lack money, opportunities, or stability—but we know that life is about more than just making money. Sometimes, it’s about fighting for what’s right. We refuse to watch as wealthy elites monopolize research opportunities while truly talented students are left out. We want to prove that real talent cannot be hidden by money.

Every time we see students grow, break barriers, and shine through iDreamer, that moment is worth more than any amount of money. That is our motivation, that is our purpose.

2.3 We Want to Reveal the Truth and Restore the Purity of Research

We have seen how commercial institutions sacrifice academic integrity to "package" students, creating fake research experiences and turning résumés into soulless decorations.

Too many students and parents don’t know the truth. They think top universities only look at surface achievements, unaware that real research thrives on depth, exploration, and passion for knowledge. We founded iDreamer to show the world what true research requires and how real talent should grow.

2.4 We Are Driving a Revolution in Research

The rise of commercial institutions is a disaster for academia. They have turned research into a business and dreams into transactions, killing the purity of research and the hope for the future. iDreamer is not just running a program—we are leading a transformation. We aim to restore research to its essence—exploring the unknown and advancing human progress.

2.5 Our Belief: Research Should Be Fair and Accessible to All

iDreamer exists to prove: Research does not belong to the privileged few; it belongs to every mind that dares to question "why." Real talent does not need financial backing, and true strength does not rely on packaging. We are not selling dreams—we are nurturing dreamers who will change the world. This is why we exist, and this is the belief we uphold.

iDreamer is not just an organization—it is a promise: The future of research belongs to those with dreams and courage.


3. What exactly is the $2,000 fee for? What is its purpose? Why do we need to donate? Does the low fee mean the project lacks quality?

$2,000 is not a payment for research; it is an investment in your dreams. At iDreamer, this fee is not for profit, nor is it a flashy packaging cost—it is the fuel that keeps the global research collaboration platform running. Every penny is allocated where it truly matters—server maintenance, precise matching of researchers and students, and efficient project management. What we are building is not just an ordinary program, but a global research ecosystem connecting top-tier resources.

3.1 Transparent Costs, Open to Scrutiny

The $2,000 fee is an operational cost, not a profit. Unlike commercial projects that charge tens of thousands of dollars, we do not sustain ourselves by taking money from students. Instead, we operate with transparency, efficiency, and sustainability. Every dollar's allocation is publicly available and open to scrutiny—because we do not fear doubt; we only fear misunderstanding.

We never create false value through high prices. Expensive fees do not equate to high-quality research. True research excellence comes from the depth of knowledge and the courage to explore, not from the thickness of a price tag.

Every donation ignites the future of the next dreamer. We use these funds to support students with great potential but financial limitations, ensuring that opportunities are not restricted by money. Every talented dreamer deserves a stage to soar.

3.2 Lower Fees, Higher Quality

Why is the cost low, yet the project better? Because true experts do not work for money. Successful individuals are never short of money. To them, $10 and $10,000 make no real difference. They choose to join iDreamer not for financial gain, but to find students who are willing to burn for their dreams.

We lower financial barriers, but unleash the power of dreams. A mentor working for money and a mentor striving for research breakthroughs lead vastly different projects. At iDreamer, you engage with those at the cutting edge of research—mentors eager to drive the world forward.

We are not a cheap alternative; we are the true sanctuary of research. If you believe a lower fee means lower quality, it’s only because you have yet to witness the power of research driven by passion and conviction.

3.3 Beyond Fees, Higher Standards

$2,000 may not seem like much, but iDreamer’s standards are so high that many cannot meet them. If all you see is money, this fee may seem low. But if you understand that the real cost of joining iDreamer is having a dream, persevering through hardships, and daring to challenge yourself to reach the pinnacle of research, then you will realize this is the true high threshold.

Money is the easiest cost to pay. What’s difficult is investing passion, sweat, and time—enduring the loneliness and challenges of research. At iDreamer, we don’t ask for your money; we ask for your determination to become strong.

If money is all you have, we are not interested in admitting you. Here, those who see only money but lack dreams and perseverance will find no place.

$2,000 cannot buy real success, but for those who dare to chase their dreams, it is the key to the future.

3.4 No Expensive Illusions, Only True Excellence

iDreamer does not rely on high prices to create illusions; we rely on true capabilities to shape the future. We do not charge exorbitant fees, because real mentors and projects transcend monetary measurement. Our mentors look at your talent and potential, not your bank balance. We believe the true value of research lies in every thought, every experiment, and every breakthrough.

Donations are not about sustaining operations; they are about igniting more dreams.
Every donation provides an opportunity for financially disadvantaged yet highly capable students to change their destiny. We believe the future of research belongs to those whose spirits are unshackled by money.

3.5 Money Can Be Measured, But Strength Is Priceless

At iDreamer, money is not the standard—dreams and strength are.

$2,000 is not a ticket to a prestigious university; it is the starting point of your journey into the world of research. We do not rely on high fees to create a superficial “gloss”; instead, we build a true research sanctuary through the capabilities of our mentors and students.

We do not charge for expensive illusions, but we cultivate those who dare to change the world. If you are looking for an easy, costly shortcut, iDreamer is not for you.
But if you are willing to fight relentlessly for your dreams, iDreamer will be your strongest battlefield.

 

4. What is the True Essence of Scientific Research?

Scientific research is not about publishing papers; it is about changing the world.
The essence of research is not completing a project or accumulating a few papers to boost one's achievements. Research is about challenging the unknown, being dissatisfied with the status quo, and igniting the flame that advances human knowledge.

True research begins with a simple yet profound question:
"Is the world good enough as it is?"
"Can we make it better?"
"If no one dares to take the first step, I will!"


4.1 Research is Not Just About Results, But About Deep Exploration

Research is not about publishing a paper; it is about solving a problem that has never been answered before. Many believe that a research paper is the final goal, but that is a misconception. A paper is merely a record of the results—true research lies in the journey of exploration.

Real research begins with dissatisfaction with existing knowledge. We refuse to settle for the status quo, we question current technologies, theories, and methodologies, and we seek better answers and deeper truths. Research is not about finding a leftover "piece of cake" in an overcrowded field; it is about forging a new path where none existed before. True innovation is not about adding a trivial "small  improvement" but about shaking the foundations of existing knowledge, driving revolutions in technology and thought.


4.2 The True Challenge of Research: Not Just the Results, But the Process

The essence of research is the courage to fail and the persistence to continue.
Behind every groundbreaking discovery are countless failed experiments, discarded data, and restructured ideas. Invalid results, wrong turns, and repeated adjustments—this is the daily reality of real research. True research means pushing forward despite frustration, breaking through in the face of setbacks. Success is not just a published paper; every failure, every moment of doubt, is a necessary step toward a breakthrough. iDreamer does not merely help students enter the field of research—we cultivate explorers who can stand firm and face challenges in the world of academia.

A truly valuable research paper is not just about data and conclusions. It embodies the researcher's thought process, exploration journey, and unwavering pursuit of the unknown. Students who have endured experimental failures and intellectual struggles are the ones who truly grow and break through in research.

 

4.3 True Scientific Research: Daring to Challenge the Boundaries of Human Knowledge

Top-tier research does not follow the crowd—it leads the way. Great research dares to question authority, challenge existing knowledge systems, and even shake the foundations of entire disciplines. This requires not just intelligence, but also fearless courage and unyielding perseverance. 

Research is not about repeating others' steps. It is about embarking on a path no one has ever walked before. You need more than technical skills—you need the determination to explore the unknown, to draw your own map on the blank pages of human knowledge.

Top mentors can immediately recognize true scientific talent. They do not look at flashy packaging or superficial "innovations." They assess the depth of a student’s thinking, their exploratory spirit, and their courage to push boundaries. A glance at the title, a look at the abstract—excellence and mediocrity become instantly clear.

4.4 iDreamer’s Mission: Cultivating Researchers Who Dare to Change the World

iDreamer does not produce "paper-publishing machines"; we cultivate fearless explorers of the world. Our students do not just learn research methodologies; they develop independent thinking, problem-solving wisdom, and the courage to face the unknown.

We help students enter the research field, but more importantly, we guide them onto the path of changing the world. Our goal is not just to help students complete projects, but to turn them into forces that drive the frontiers of human knowledge.

True research is a journey of continuous self-transcendence. If you aspire to challenge existing knowledge and explore the unknown where no one has dared venture, iDreamer will be your strongest battlefield.

 

4.5 The True Essence of Research: Not for Publication, But for Breakthroughs

Scientific research is not about publishing papers—it is about leaving your mark on the map of human knowledge. True research dares to challenge existing knowledge and push the limits of the world. We do not cultivate mediocre researchers. We cultivate thought leaders who dare to change the world.

At iDreamer, every experiment, every thought process, is a step toward the peak of scientific discovery. If your goal is just to write a few papers and check a box,
iDreamer is not for you. But if you are ready to battle the unknown, if you are prepared to fight for truth with everything you have, iDreamer will ignite the flame of scientific research within you.

 

5. What Kind of Talent Do Top Universities Really Want?

Top universities are not looking for polished but empty shells; they seek minds capable of changing the world. The best universities are not searching for students who merely excel at exams and have perfect grades. Instead, they seek those who dare to think, challenge the status quo, and explore the unknown. They are looking for future thought leaders, pioneers in research, and shapers of the world.

5.1 Universities Value Intelligence, Not Just a Transcript

Top universities are looking for more than just good grades. A perfect test score does not prove the depth of your thinking, and an impeccable GPA does not showcase your creativity. What truly matters to them is:

  • Do you have the ability to think independently?
  • Can you propose unique insights and solve complex problems?
  • Are you willing to question, explore, and create?

For top universities, exams are just the foundation. The true core competency lies in the ability to drive knowledge forward. At iDreamer, our research programs help students gain hands-on experience while cultivating their problem-solving abilities, critical thinking, and innovative spirit. These are the qualities that top universities value most.

5.2 Universities Care About Your Ideas, Not Your Packaging

A diploma is not the end goal; real ability is. Those who enter top universities through superficial packaging will find their future path increasingly narrow. You can use a fabricated resume to get into college, but you cannot rely on packaging to sustain your entire life. If you rely on deception to enter, your education, research, and future career will be built on a hollow foundation.

Are you prepared to spend your entire life fabricating an image? You cannot fool top universities—ultimately, you are only deceiving yourself.

No matter how smart commercial "admissions consultants" claim to be, they cannot outwit the experienced professors and admissions officers at elite universities. Just a glance at your research paper title or a quick scan of your abstract is enough for them to determine whether you are the real deal or just putting on a show. Experienced professors and interviewers have long seen through all the “fancy” resumes. You may deceive for a moment, but you cannot deceive for a lifetime. At a top university, disguises do not last—only real ability will allow you to stand firm.

True talent does not need packaging, and real brilliance does not need to be disguised. At iDreamer, we cultivate students who dare to showcase their genuine abilities and shine in the academic world.

5.3 Top Universities Seek Those Who Can Change the World

Elite universities appreciate students who dare to innovate and propose new ideas.
Whether it is in scientific research, artistic creation, or entrepreneurial ventures, experiences that demonstrate originality and a unique perspective are what truly matter.

They do not expect you to be perfect—they want to see if you are willing to break boundaries and take on challenges. Top universities value interdisciplinary thinking and the ability to solve complex problems. They seek individuals who can integrate knowledge from different fields and apply it innovatively.

  • Can you find answers in uncharted territory?
  • Can you merge knowledge from different disciplines to create new possibilities?

Resilience in the face of challenges is a quality that top universities highly appreciate.
They are looking for those who persist through failures and grow stronger in adversity. At iDreamer, our research programs cultivate precisely this kind of perseverance—the ability to push forward through difficulties and break through challenges.

5.4 iDreamer’s Mission: Developing the Talent the World Needs

iDreamer does not craft a superficial resume for you; we cultivate your ability to change the world. At iDreamer, we do not fabricate experiences for students. We nurture problem-solving abilities, critical thinking, and originality—qualities that top universities truly seek.

We do not help students "sneak into" elite universities. We train students to become candidates that top universities compete to admit. Our goal is not short-term success but to equip you to stand firmly in the world of research and contribute to the advancement of human knowledge.

Top universities value authenticity, innovation, and resilience. And iDreamer is where these qualities are nurtured. If you are looking for shortcuts to elite universities, iDreamer is not for you. But if you are eager to grow and willing to fight for your dreams, iDreamer will be your bridge to the global stage.

5.5 Top Universities Want Strength, Not Superficiality

Top universities do not care about a glamorous resume—they want individuals who dare to change the world. They value intellectual depth, not just a collection of high scores. They appreciate problem-solving abilities, not fabricated experiences.

The real passport to an elite university is your innovation, independent thinking, and unwavering determination to explore. If you are searching for an easy way in, iDreamer is not the right place for you. But if you are ready to use your true abilities to conquer a top university, iDreamer will open the door to your future.
