Super Doctor of the Universe
Chapter 31: Quality-oriented
After leaving the principal's office, Link took Peggy to the library. Classes were in session, so no one was there. Link said, "Peggy, are you going to Princeton University?"
"Of course, Princeton University's Department of Mathematics is the best."
"But Peggy, I'm actually going to Caltech?"
"Why?"
"Because I think it might be more suitable for me."
Link didn't explain it in detail, and after listening to Peggy, she said, "In that case, I'll choose Caltech too."
"Wait a minute, Peggy, don't you need to discuss it with your parents?"
"Of course not." Peggy paused, then slowly said, "After my parents divorced, each of them started to act strangely. My mother started dating, and my father became Like a child, my sister often cries by herself.
I once hoped that everything would be the same as before, but I found that it was impossible... Every weekend when I go home, I have to live in two different houses, and my grandmother said a lot of bad things about my father...
Most of the things that were important to me before have become unimportant. I originally thought that I was lonely, but when I thought about you risking your life to rescue me when we were camping, I knew that you still cared about me.
After that, I thought that no matter where you go, I will be with you. I am studying hard now just because you like to do this. "
Through these words, Link completely confirmed that Peggy now has an over-dependence on him, and he couldn't decide how to deal with it for a while.
He wanted to say that the wild boar he met at the beginning could hardly hurt him even if he had no weapon in his hand, so the danger was not as great as she imagined, but he hesitated for a while and finally just said:
"Okay Peggy, in this case, then we can tell Ms. Flora next time that our goal is Caltech, but before that, you still have to get your parents' consent."
"Of course there is no problem, my mother will agree."
After that, Link didn't know what Peggy said to her parents, and they finally agreed to Peggy's choice to go to Caltech, but Linda said that she would accompany Peggy to Caltech before school started and personally choose a suitable host family.
After all, Peggy was just eleven years old, and as for Peggy's claim that Link could take care of her, it was directly rejected. In reality, no one would believe that Link, who was only seventeen years old, could take good care of people.
PSAT is only part of entering college, and it is more about obtaining scholarships.
Of course, at Peggy's age, with a perfect score, plus the school's recommendation, Caltech made the decision to admit her early.
But Link, who is already 17 years old, still needs to follow the college entrance examination procedures step by step, such as taking the ACT and SAT exams.
ACT and SAT are both American college entrance examinations, and they will also affect the assessment of scholarships. Taking both exams together will allow you to choose a wider range of schools, and if you get good scores on both, you will have a higher chance of being admitted.
According to the exam arrangement, Link took the ACT exam first.
He has only been in the new school for a year after transferring, but according to Link's plan, he just got his own driver's license not long ago, so it's time to go to college.
The process before the exam is not much different from the college entrance examination on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Bring paper and pen, admission ticket, student ID, etc., and then wait outside the exam room for the teacher to search.
Ask students to take the initiative to hand over things that cannot be brought into the exam room, and check the appearance of students one by one to avoid the situation of taking the exam on behalf of others.
Universities often claim that they treat the two different exams, ACT and SAT, equally, but the Ivy League prefers ACT test scores, which has become an open secret in the eyes of students and teachers.
Link also hopes to get a good grade in one go, after all, he doesn't want to wait for another two months.
Unlike the universities on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, American universities were originally prepared for the upper class, so the selection is also very upper-class aristocratic.
The score-only theory on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, thousands of troops squeezed on a single-plank bridge, and was despised by some people who didn't know what was going on. The example they often brought up was the quality-only theory of admission to American universities, but they didn't know that the score-only theory was the most important ladder to ensure their fair entry into the upper class in their lives.
The quality-only theory is not to judge heroes by scores, either with money or with power, and in the United States, power and money are interchangeable, so in summary, there is only one sentence, don't come if you don't have money.
Those top rich N generations, their parents have already accumulated wealth, and they set up foundations before they were born, donated money to build buildings for top schools, and introduced famous teachers and expensive teaching equipment.
So, no matter how this rich second generation or rich N generation was in high school, and how poor his grades were, he could lie down and enter the world's top schools that countless people tried their best but couldn't enter.
Those with less wealth and status will donate a few hundred thousand dollars to prestigious schools and become members of the donation committee of the prestigious schools. When their children apply to the schools, they will be given priority admission by the admissions office of the schools.
Those with less wealth will let their children attend college preparatory courses, honors courses, and participate in various niche sports that represent quality, such as equestrianism and golf.
These niche sports that are recognized as representing quality are not available in public high schools. Even if they are, most students don’t even have the money to buy equipment.
After such a screening, most of the students from famous schools have gone, and there are geniuses like Sheldon and Peggy who need to be admitted by exception, so there are very few places left for civilian students.
In this way, the remaining civilian students can only take the ACT and SAT, and the only evaluation is the performance. Moreover, a large number of qualified students went directly to the other side and watched countless civilian students squeeze the wire rope.
Of course, since he was born in the United States, he had to find a way to adapt to everything here. If Link didn’t have a plug-in to continuously improve his intelligence, even if he was reborn, his IQ was only at the level of ordinary people. His best idea was to take a first-class public university, and those most famous private institutions would be out of the question.
Now Link, after his intelligence has been improved, he can be said to be a genius. Compared with those natural geniuses who have shown high IQ since childhood, he is still at a disadvantage in terms of age. His age is similar to others, so he can only choose to take the exam obediently.
