"Yes, you only need to prepare these materials, you shouldn't need me to help you find a recommender, right? It shouldn't be a problem for you to get three referees. Condoleezza Rice rests his hands on a large, heavy maple desk, a nearly 100-year-old desk that was the product of the Stanford rebuilding building in 1925.

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Thank you, Condoliza, it would be great if you could be my sponsor." ”

Condoleezza Rice showed his white teeth: "You are really the strangest young man I have ever met, in the United States, especially at Stanford, there are many dropouts to start a business, and the school agrees." But I have never seen anyone who has successfully started a business and become a billionaire, and who has come to take the university entrance examination. Why do you want to go to college?"

Zhang Chen left India the day after the wedding, and the smell of this country was so touching that staying for one more day felt like a kind of destruction to the nose.

Before leaving, Zhang Chen told Shanatanu about Charan's cheating behind his back and asked him to look at it himself.

After returning to the United States, the first thing Zhang Chen had to do was to prepare for the upcoming SAT exam and Stanford's REA (Early Admission) materials.

In his previous life, although Zhang Chen's academic performance was okay, he didn't love to study much. But after being reborn, Zhang Chen found that he was much more interested in learning.

Usually every night when he has time, Zhang Chen uses doing questions as a tool to relieve boredom, so it is not too difficult to get a better score in the SAT with a little targeted review.

For Chinese students, the most difficult part of the SAT is actually English, and the easiest is math。。。。。。

Zhang Chen has already passed the language barrier, as for mathematics, as long as he can understand the questions, will any Chinese students fail the exam。。。。。。

The difficulty of the SAT math test is more than a little lower than that of the domestic college entrance examination, and all the knowledge points of the domestic junior high school plus some of the knowledge points of high school laughter are already all of the SAT math test. A junior high school graduate who has learned mathematics well in China can get a good score in mathematics as long as there is no language problem.

Rice's question doesn't exist for the average person, so why go to college? Of course, it's for a better future. Especially at a university like Stanford, it can really be said that it is a 1 in 10,000 chance, and being able to get into it itself is equivalent to getting a pass for the elite class.

But for Zhang Chen, this question does not feel inconsistent at all, as a billionaire, he has already surpassed the "elite" class and is truly at the top of the food chain. People like this are not the rich second generation who were born with a golden spoon, but after the success of their business, they chose to go to college, which is really incredible.

Zhang Chen said lightly: "Why do you want to read? Of course, it's to make better money." The most important thing for success is the innate qualities of luck and courage, but what is needed to maintain success is the acquired ability such as knowledge, experience, and vision. ”

Rice raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that Gates, Larry Ellison, Jobs, Dell, these people who dropped out of school and started a successful business are all wrong?"

Zhang Chen said with a smile: "I didn't say that, in fact, everyone's different conditions will cause different choices." In fact, all of them have learned a lot in college, and they are all geniuses, thinking that university can no longer teach them more, so they choose to drop out. And I never considered myself a genius. My Wechsler IQ test is 132 points, which is barely a smart person, but it is still quite far from a real genius. ”

Rice laughed and said: "132 points can already be regarded as a genius, which is higher than the IQ of 98.5% of people." ”

Zhang Chen shrugged: "Maybe, but now the global population has exceeded 5 billion, which means that there are 75 million people in the world with higher IQs than me, equivalent to one-third of the population of the United States. ”

Rice smiled and said, "Is this considered the modesty of your Chinese people?"

Zhang Chen thought for a while: "This should not be modest, but introspection." The ancient Chinese philosopher Zeng Zi has a saying: Three times a day, I save my body. Although I can't do three provinces a day, I can still do one province a week. Although I have thought deeply and studied one or two points, I am not systematic. Systematic learning is precisely the strength of university education. ”

Rice applauded lightly: "Your point of view is very good, I think I have already chosen the freshman representative to speak at the opening ceremony next year." Ah, by the way, you gave a presentation when you were at the Stanford Summer School. ”

Zhang Chen smiled: "It was a very memorable experience, but I didn't want to do any freshman speeches, although it was a great honor, I still wanted to make my college life a little easier." ”

Rice laughed: "Simpler, Zack, I think after the news of your enrollment came out, I should be the happiest Chelsea Clinton, you can at least take more than half of the media footage on her." ”

Chelsea Clinton has only been enrolled in Stanford for a month, and he has already been troubled by the media, and news such as drinking and clubbing and smoking marijuana boyfriends kissing on the street has emerged one after another.

When it comes to Chelsea Clinton, Zhang Chen really doesn't have a good impression. He had met Chelsea once last year at a Democratic fundraising dinner, and to be honest, he was not very impressed, the girl was spoiled by her parents and the people around her, very rude, and full of swearing.

Looking at Rice's attitude now, she doesn't seem to have a good impression of this first princess.

Wait, Chelsea Clinton, Clinton。。。。。。 I seem to have forgotten something, what?

was pondering, but heard Rice continue: "Stanford's academic load is very heavy, and Chelsea has too many extracurricular affairs, judging from her performance in the month of admission, it is difficult to keep up with Stanford's progress, and His Excellency the President and the First Lady should have a headache." ”

Headache? A flash of lightning flashed through Zhang Chen's mind and he remembered!

Zip Door!

It won't be long before the couple learns that the biggest headache for them is not their daughter Chelsea, but the busty White House intern Lewinsky.

So far, there has been no news from the media about the zipper door, and Clinton's popularity is still in full swing.

This news should be the most exciting news at the end of the twentieth century, but unfortunately, after thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Chen didn't find that this news was of any use to him.

"Zack?" Rice's voice interrupted Zhang Chen's thoughts.

Zhang Chen smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, Condoliza, I just thought of something." Uh, thank you very much for your help, I'll take my leave first. I'm going to have to read the book again when I go back, and it would be a shame if my SAT scores were too bad to get in. ”

Rice smiled, how is it possible? Even if Zhang Chen does not have SAT scores, Stanford, as a private university, can be admitted early as long as it receives Zhang Chen's application. The value that a true billionaire can bring to a school is so great that no university can say no.

"I believe you have a higher score than most American students, after all, you are Chinese. However, even if the score is high, I will not give you a scholarship. Rice stood up and joked.

Zhang Chen turned around and said, "You are racist. ”

Rice laughed, "No, that's fair. ”
