Chapter 375: Strange Call

The satellite definitely looks at Liu Pianpian as his niece。。。。。。

He stopped Yang Meng and said that Liu Pianpian was too tired to come here at four o'clock in the morning, so he had to let her sleep well, and then arranged a room for Yang Meng to rest first, after all, he hadn't slept all night, right?

For Yang Meng, sleeping is a habit, and not sleeping is just like that. But he couldn't resist the 'kindness' of the satellite, so he went to the room and lay on the bed playing with his mobile phone, ready to share the photos he had taken with his friends, but as soon as he took out a phone, someone called him.

He looked at the number, the unfamiliar number in China! This Nima is so expensive, okay?

Before he came out, he deliberately opened the 'international roaming' and 'international long-distance' functions for his mobile phone, but when he went abroad, although things like Libanon and Shulia were within the service range of the global pass, the mobile phone signal was not very good or there was no signal at all in some remote places, and the signal was much better when he arrived at the embassy.

Yang Meng picked up the phone: "Hey, which one?"

On the other side of the phone was a woman's voice: "Are you Yang Xiaojing's parent?"

When Yang Meng heard this, he sat up and got up directly: "Who are you?

Regarding his sister's affairs, of course, he would be in a hurry.

The woman on the other side of the phone hurriedly introduced herself: "Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong, it turns out that you are the brother of Yang Xiaojing, and nothing happened to your sister, that's the case, first of all, let me introduce myself, I am a staff member of the 'Pan North Educational Institution', my name is Bai Yun, you can call me Teacher Bai." ”

Hearing this, Yang Meng let out a sigh of relief, and lay back again: "Oh, it turned out to be Teacher Bai, I don't know what's going on?"

As soon as she heard that her sister was fine, Yang Meng was a lot more relieved.

Bai Yun said: "That's the case, I have a question about Yang Xiaojing's education and want to talk to Yang Xiaojing's parents, you are Yang Xiaojing's brother, I don't know if you can have the final say?"

"Of course, if you have something, please tell me directly. Yang Meng asked puzzledly, what are you doing in circles for a long time?

Bai Yun said: "I don't know if Mr. Yang has any plans to let Yang Xiaojing study abroad?"

Yang Meng thought about it for a while and said: "Actually, I really thought about it, but I am still hesitating, after all, my sister's academic performance is not very good, and she is working hard now." If she doesn't do well in the exam, whether it will be a repeat year or what, I am considering, although academic performance does not represent everything, but the knowledge learned and the way of thinking to improve are things that accompany her for a lifetime. If you don't study well in Hanguo, going out doesn't mean you can learn well, right?"

Bai Yun hurriedly said: "Mr. Yang, don't say that, the education level of the Stars and Stripes Country is still very good, and you also know that the Stars and Stripes Country is a paradise for the rich, as long as you have money, you can receive the best, whether it is education, medical care and other levels, judging from the school Yang Xiaojing attends, your family background should be very good." ”

Yang Meng frowned: "Teacher Bai, can you please tell me if you have something?" ”

After listening to Yang Meng's words, Bai Yun said: "That's the case, we have a way to send Yang Xiaojing to the Stars and Stripes Country to study as an undergraduate, and ensure admission to a prestigious school! Ivy League schools can do it, I don't know if Mr. Yang is interested?"

Yang Meng was really interested after hearing this.

The so-called 'Ivy League' refers to the eight schools in the northeastern part of the Stars and Stripes, all of which are world-class schools, seven of which were established during the colonial period of the Corrupt State until today, and eight of which are all private schools.

But here's what's interesting: the so-called 'Ivy League' is actually a league of sporting events.

In fact, NCAA is the abbreviation of the Stars and Stripes University Athletic Association, which is a sports organization covering almost all colleges and universities in the Stars and Stripes, which has a variety of games, in addition to basketball, there are football, baseball, track and field, gymnastics, and so on.

These universities are divided into dozens of leagues at three levels according to different levels, and the 'Ivy League' is one of them. However, because they are all top students entering the school, the level of sports competition in the Ivy League is not good, so it is basically self-entertainment.

Ivy League schools do not offer sports scholarships, do not recruit students with sports talents, and do not have inter-school sports leagues. People are afraid that once they recruit a sports student at the beginning, they will have to lower the standards for the learning of the special student.

They are all top students, and no one can be excellent in any aspect.

For example, the well-known NBA, from the establishment of the professional league in 1946 to today, there are only 31 professional basketball players in the eight Ivy League schools, most of whom are still players from half a century ago. Let's say that Jeremy Lin's Harvard has had eight presidents in history, but only three players have entered the NBA.

Let's just say that Jeremy Lin is also a serious scholar, and he was admitted to Harvard based on his own grades! His mother educated Jeremy Lin according to the Han Chinese education method: Do you want to play basketball? Yes, only if you get all the A's!

And Jeremy Lin did.

Those trolls in China who watch the NBA Jet Woods Jerethous play will live well even if they don't play basketball.

This is the so-called 'elite'!

And because Yang Meng had considered letting Yang Xiaojing study abroad, she also learned about the undergraduate enrollment situation over there. The first is to have the so-called 'Stars and Stripes National College Entrance Examination Score', which is that international students also have to pass the TOEFL IELTS. Some schools only need a TOEFL IELTS score, a high school transcript, and finally a written application document, including a resume, such as information about award-winning activities, teacher recommendation letters, and a proposition essay from the university.

Colleges and universities in the Stars and Stripes have been using this enrollment system for decades, and it is running very stably and effectively, so they don't want to change it.

According to this standard, it is too difficult for Yang Xiaojing to study abroad and go to a prestigious school. And Yang Meng was reluctant to send Yang Xiaojing to the garbage school, so Yang Meng had been hesitant to study abroad.

As a result, this Bai Yun said that even the Ivy League schools could be entered, which aroused Yang Meng's interest.

"Are you saying that Ivy League schools can also be entered?" Yang Meng asked.

Bai Yun said: "Of course, you must know that college admissions in the Stars and Stripes Country do not pay much attention to test scores, although they will also prepare for so-called college entrance examinations similar to the SAT, but their universities do not admit students completely according to test scores, they also have to consider two other factors, that is, their high school transcripts and resumes." ”

Yang Meng sighed after hearing this: "People are still rich!"

In the Han Kingdom, due to the large population and limited educational resources, there are too few prestigious schools, but everyone wants to go to a prestigious school, so what should we do? The only fair way is to 'get a high score and a low score,' and you do well in the exam?211, 985; The arrangement is clear and convincing.

But what about the Stars and Stripes? There are many colleges and universities. People's schools are students who choose the right school for themselves, and they don't look at the scores, but only announce a basic line. As long as you reach this basic line, you can apply to study with us, and each student submits their resume to school by school, and finally sees which school admits them. is like Jeremy Lin, who actually wanted to go to Stanford back then, but Stanford didn't want him。。。。。。

But there is also a problem, there are often some peculiar phenomena: take the SAT test as an example, the full score is 1600 points, some people take the test 1580 points, some people take the test 1200 points, and Harvard's admission line is exactly 1200 points, and the result is that Harvard students who want 1200 points do not want students who score 1580 points, the reason is: 1200 points students are more suitable for the style of our school.

And such examples are not exceptional, but numerous and numerous.

Bai Yun explained with a smile: "The education concept of the Stars and Stripes is very advanced, and recruiting students in this way depends on the comprehensive quality of the students, so that the situation of high scores and low ability is eliminated to a large extent. ”

Yang Meng nodded: "Oh, so that's the case。。。。。。 No, according to what you said, those who don't study hard, don't complete their homework, don't participate in group activities, and don't respect teachers at school can only fail in the exam, which is also considered to be high in 'comprehensive quality'?"

Bai Yun coughed dryly twice and continued: "So this also needs the 'packaging' of our institution to meet the standards for your sister to go abroad for further study." ”

"Packaging?" Yang Meng didn't understand what it meant.

Bai Yun explained: "As I just said, the admission criteria of other schools are not only based on scores, but also on 'high school transcripts' and 'application essays'. ”

Yang Meng said speechlessly: "Please, aren't you playing with me?" The report card of Xing Tiang National High School I know, people around me who have studied abroad have studied abroad, and the high school report card of other people shows the final exam results of each subject of each semester of the student, and the final exam score is determined by the usual school performance, which is based on a student's classroom performance, the degree of completion of homework after class, attendance and various test scores. The high school transcripts over there are enough to fully reflect the learning level of a student's entire high school, but what about our country? Tell me which high school is full enough to keep up the statistics of this mess? Don't talk about others, just talk about yourself, do you remember how many points you scored in the final exam of each semester when you were in high school? I have never heard of any school in China that will issue such a thing as a 'detailed record of the three-year high school transcript'!"

Bai Yun laughed after hearing this: "Mr. Yang, you really know a lot about studying abroad, it seems that you have indeed considered your sister's study abroad!"

Yang Meng nodded and said, "Isn't that nonsense? And the 'written paperwork' you said, isn't it just a resume? The high school students in the Stars and Stripes country leave school at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and there are so many club activities, sports activities, and so on, but what about our country? Students can't wait to go to study without sleep 24 hours a day, and jumping rope is considered a sport! How can there be any time to mess up messy activities? You let me make up stories for them?"

Bai Yun said: "It's true that we need to make up stories, but it's not Mr. Yang that you make up, it's a matter for our educational institution." ”
