Chapter 145 IQ is not enough, drink water to make up (second update)
"It is true that my current English level is not particularly high, but there are still more than two years left in high school. During this period, my English level cannot stand still. It is also improving, because I They are all learning English, that’s how people are, life is too short, how to enrich yourself, don’t let your life be too decadent, and for the rest of your life, think about today and waste your life.”

Who doesn't want to leave a strong pen and ink while alive, let the world remember you, and leave a name through the ages.

It was impossible before, but now there is such an opportunity, Fang Chao wants to cherish it.

"We understand that if you can really enter Princeton University, then of course we congratulate you. After all, it is indeed better than Xiamen University. Math geniuses from all over the world gather here, and you can study in such an atmosphere. , must be a very wonderful thing, isn’t it?”

Fang Chao nodded irrefutably, "Of course."

"If it were me, I would choose Princeton instead of Xiamen University."

Zheng Meiling listened on the sidelines, feeling more and more confused, the two teachers from Xiamen University, didn’t you come to our house to persuade my son to enter your Xiamen University?How does this flatter Princeton?

So... what is Princeton?

Zheng Meiling, one head and two big, felt the pain of being a top student, and couldn't integrate into their conversation at all, which was so painful.

Since you don't understand, let me pour you some water.

"Director Yan, Director Chen, I'll get you another glass of water."

Director Yan: "Thank you."

Director Chen: "It's troublesome."

Zheng Meiling: "You are too polite."

After touting Princeton, Director Yan said again, "Student Fang Chao, we really believe in your math ability. If you want to talk about the whole province and even the whole country, among high school students, your math level should be at the top level." .”

Fang Chao shook his head again and again, "No, no, no, I'm not that strong yet, the two teachers shouldn't exaggerate too much, my most words are the top three in the country, not the first at all."

Director Yan said again, "Don't underestimate yourself. You can get the first place in the CMO competition, and you have such excellent data as a perfect score. It is the only one in the country, so we believe in your level. We must Speaking of Princeton, we really think you can get in."

Director Chen also chimed in, "That's right, I also think the same way. With your excellent mathematical talent, it is true that entering Princeton will do a lot better."

"Teachers, here comes the water."

At such a time, Zheng Meiling returned to her position.

At the same time, Director Yan glanced at Zheng Meiling, then at Fang Chao, and then continued, "We cannot deny your achievements in mathematics, but at the same time, we did not underestimate the difficulty of entering Princeton after graduating from high school." It’s too big, I think you should also be aware of this, the two tests of the SAT alone are not so easy, do you admit this?”

Fang Chao wants to get into Princeton, and he naturally knows that it is very difficult to get into Princeton. It is not just money that can get in. If his own conditions are not good enough, he will still be stuck outside the gate of Princeton and find it difficult to get in.

"Actually, many students enter university normally and complete self-study at university. At the same time, you can use this period of time to study for the SAT. In this way, your university courses will not be delayed, and it will also enrich your spare time. , get the best of both worlds, why not?”

"What does Director Yan mean?"

"Join our Xiamen University and become a part of our Xiamen University. At least your student status will still be in our Xiamen University. In the future, if you want to go to Princeton, we will naturally support you. After all, you are a high-achieving student from our Xiamen University, right? ?”

Director Yan has already made his words very clear. If you come to Xiamen University, we will not restrict your freedom. It is just that your student status is in our school. We need you as a golden signboard. It is as simple as that. We have already treated you You are extraordinarily merciful, and it is already extremely kind to you. As long as you are willing to take this step, Xiamen University will have better conditions waiting for you.

Fang Chao heard Director Yan's implication. In fact, even if he was admitted to Princeton, the tuition fee would still be a huge problem. Princeton is the number one holy place for mathematics in the United States, and the admission requirements are also extremely harsh.

In total, Princeton is one of the richest universities in the world. The cumulative donations it has received so far have exceeded 100 billion U.S. dollars. On average, each undergraduate has donated 200 million U.S. dollars to the school. The abundant funds allow Princeton to provide conditions for students. Create a better learning environment.

In addition, the annual cost of living in Princeton is about 30 U.S. dollars a year, and if converted into RMB, it is about [-] U.S. dollars.

After deducting the scholarships that can be applied for, or work-study programs, in the end, it will still cost about 20 yuan per year.

Such a huge amount is not a small burden for ordinary families. Except for those rich second generations, ordinary well-off families can't meet such expenditures at all. Taking Fang Chao's own family situation as an example , It’s almost enough to save [-] yuan a year. It’s too stressful to use two years’ savings to pay for one year’s tuition.

Fang Chao felt the weakness from his own conditions, that is, lack of money.

Apart from studying, he originally thought that money was dispensable and not very important to him, but it turned out not to be the case. Money is needed for eating and drinking, and money is also needed for studying.

He also needs to earn enough tuition while in high school or even college.

He can apply for some scholarships by himself, but for the rest, he still has to rely on his own efforts, not to bother his parents, but to do it with his own ability.

Director Yan saw that Fang Chao's intention was a little loose, and he immediately took advantage of the heat and said, "Fang Chao, we have said so much. I believe you have seen the sincerity we bring. Let's do it this way. Before heading to Princeton How about you signing a contract with our Xiamen University before? In other words, if you are considering domestic universities, then our first order is our Xiamen University, so there should be no problem, right?"

After thinking about it for a while, Fang Chao said, "The conditions are good, and they are indeed very attractive."

Director Yan said, "What do you think? Are you willing to sign a contract with Xiamen University?"

"My answer is still a place with an excellent learning atmosphere, a place where I can study hard."
