Chapter 5 Admission Plan

The golden name of Manhattan International High School is clearly and prominently engraved in the most prominent position on the doorway.

There are a lot of schools in New York, so that in addition to the top handful of public and private schools, most of the other middle schools need to worry about the source of students.

The racial divide in the United States is serious, children can be exposed from birth, and the number of blacks or Chinese in a community increases, so most white families are reluctant to come, and will slowly move away, resulting in the loss of white residents.

The same happened in schools, where parents used the percentage of white students as one of the criteria for judging whether a school was high-end, with schools like Manhattan International High School where only 6 percent white students and 37 percent black students could easily be labeled as "junk schools."

To prevent being disturbed by people of color, whites also acquiesced to an unspoken rule that they would avoid reaching out to people of color by driving up housing prices and tuition prices so that poorer people of color in general could not afford them.

In this way, real estate developers and various institutions make money, and consumers get the satisfaction brought by "high-end", which is a win-win situation.

Whether high school is good or not doesn't matter to Ye Dongqing.

In the future, people will only care about higher education qualifications, whether a person is rich and powerful, and who will care where they go to high school? Once successful, poor births will also become self-made and capable evidence, and this is the reality of society.

Enter the campus with other students.

It's been so long since I left this school, and I'm actually back today, still as a twelfth grade student, Ye Dongqing finds it interesting.

He has not been exposed to the knowledge in textbooks for more than ten years, and as time passes, he is still somewhat impressed, but not profound. Hurry up and review for a while, it should be no big problem to get a high score through the SAT and ACT tests, for him the Ivy League school is not far away, and the brain is much easier to use than ordinary people.

In my memory, if it weren't for the lack of money to go to college, and because of the racial quota system of colleges and universities, I didn't get a full scholarship, in fact, I would have been able to go to college two or three years ago.

ACT and SAT are both a kind of college entrance examination in the United States, and they are also important criteria for evaluating scholarships.

In fact, he had taken the exam twice before, he was nervous when he had an exam, and he wanted to go to the toilet when he was nervous, and his grades were not too good, and it was enough to go to a general famous school, and he wanted to enter the top 10 universities in the world and was a little worse, so he planned to retake the exam this time.

The "college racial quota system" refers to a system that is being implemented by prestigious universities in the United States, including Yale, Harvard, and Columbia.

As a result, many Asian-American students with very good grades cannot be admitted, and black, Mexican-American students with very poor grades can easily get into top universities through the allocated places. White students also benefit, as they always get the most places in school, and the spirit of "white supremacy" is reflected in all aspects of society.

The newspaper wrote that a Chinese-American student graduated from the University of Chicago with a GPA of only 3.1 and an MCAT score of 31.

He shaved his head, joined the black student union, described himself as black in his application, and made no secret of his wealthy family, writing that he did not have any scholarships during his time at the University of Chicago.

Scribbling other sources about his mother being a doctor and his father being an architect often reduces the chances of whites and Asians getting into prestigious schools, professions that lack social clout and are very commonplace.

As a result, this guy dressed as a black man got interviews at eleven prestigious American universities such as Harvard University and Columbia University, and finally got his wish to enter a famous medical school at his own expense.

Ye Dongqing later realized that his orphan status has also become a reason for the top elite schools to exclude him, and if there is a parent who is a judge or a lawyer, the result will probably be different.

This place in the United States has never been a paradise, and for Ye Dongqing, who has neither money nor power, it is even darker and terrifying, and rich people can easily send their children to school by donating money to donate their buildings, and he ...... Even if you have better grades, you will be ruthlessly squeezed out.

The rules are like this, and the psychological age of resentment has long passed.

Going to a prestigious university is an obsession, and it is a stepping stone for him to pave the way for the future, and the hope of success in this life will be much greater, Ye Dongqing does not plan to play cards according to common sense.

When I was in my first class, I was thinking about how to package myself as a model for a prestigious school, when I suddenly thought of Mr. Nash and thought that it would be great if I got a letter of recommendation from the current mayor of New York, Mr. Michael Bloomberg.

As long as the grades are good enough, John Hopskin and Harvard University, which are Mayor Bloomberg's alma mater, will admit him, and Columbia University, which is based in Manhattan, will also give the mayor a face.

There are only two important things in front of us, going to school and making money, and the latter is more important.

Then, I have to find someone in the time, I didn't help her too much before, and it's still too late to calculate the time, Ye Dongqing is happy about this.

......

There are advantages to being smart with a smart head, and after spending a few classes deserting, Ye Dongqing recalled most of the test paper questions.

He registered for the upcoming SAT test on the last Saturday of October, on the 26th, and on the 25th, there was the ACT, some of the questions he remembered, some of which he didn't.

If nothing else, the exam papers should still be the same, and the scope of the exam should be narrowed down all at once, making it easier to review.

Smoking, drinking, fatigue, a thirty-year-old head, not as easy to use as an eighteen-year-old, memory is still in the most vigorous period, the knowledge in the books is remembered by Ye Dongqing after reading it, and it should be able to review it all before the end of the month, and the writing topics are still remembered, and a few articles need to be practiced in advance.

Once he got a good score in the exam, he went to Mr. Nash to help him, and most of the time he entered a prestigious school, in the teacher's boring voice, he sat on the edge of the classroom reviewing the textbook, opening his mouth and dozing off.

When he heard the roar, he looked sideways downstairs, and Ye Dongqing's face was reflected in the window on the second floor, and he saw a very familiar girl, and he smiled after a moment of surprise.

suddenly remembered that before I became a playboy, I had been innocent for a few years......
