Chapter 30 Choice of University

Although there was an episode of wild boars in this camp, none of the four people who were involved told the teacher in charge.

However, in the final on the second day, Elise was also affected a little and was not in very good shape.

Fortunately, the whole team is more skillful in cooperation, and with a certain advantage in the previous scores, Wilmot Genius Academy still won this camping victory and completed three consecutive championships.

As the summer vacation progressed, Peggy didn't tell a story, and she joined Link's class as a new student as soon as school started.

After Peggy's mother, Linda, communicated with Principal Flora, considering that Peggy was only in her early tens, Principal Flora suggested that Peggy should also stay at their house, so that she could also take care of her with Link, who was more familiar with her.

Peggy doesn't have many quirks like Sheldon, and with separate rooms, Link doesn't feel like there's anything he can't stand anymore.

The only problem is that Link is avoiding some of his classmates as he discusses the mysteries of life and learns how to sing in depth.

It's not a big deal, though, and Link usually waits for Peggy to fall asleep at night before sneaking out of Headmaster Flora's house or bringing people back.

It can be said that in the new high school, Link is still very exciting, and of course his fame has also spread here, even if Link has always been selective, the business is still relatively busy at night.

Half a year has passed, and Peggy's parents have finally divorced, but to Link's relief, Peggy did be depressed for a while after that, but after all, she didn't start to become a bad girl who likes to mess around like she originally did.

Since then, however, Peggy has been much quieter than before, preferring to discuss studies with Link.

Although this allowed Link to speed up his own learning progress, he still had some worries about Peggy, and was ready to learn more about psychology to see if he could give Peggy some guidance.

It happened to be a literature class, and in class, the teacher asked a student and asked, "Kelly, what do you like most about Shakespeare?" ”

"It is only the shadow of love, which has given people such abundant joy, and how sweet it would be to possess love itself."

This sentence is from "Romeo and Juliet", which is very in line with the girlish feelings of young girls, and it is also a relatively common answer, the teacher nodded, and then turned to look at Link: "Link, which one do you like?" ”

"People can control their own destiny, and if we are subject to others, it is not our destiny that is at fault, but in ourselves; Even though I was locked up in a husk, I still thought I was the king of the infinite universe. ”

Shakespeare wrote so many sentences that he memorized them, and after listening to them, the teacher confirmed that Link was a very ambitious man.

Having the will to control your destiny is not a bad thing, it is much better than being spread on the ground as a salted fish, so he smiled and said, "Very good, based on recent rumors, I thought your answer would be similar to Kelly's."

Of course, it's not easy to control your own destiny, it's very difficult, and when I was a kid, I wanted to be a scientist like Newton......"

Just then, the classroom radio rang out: "Link, Peggy, please come to the principal's office." ”

Hearing the announcement, Link and Peggy, who was across the aisle, glanced at each other, then got up to say hello to the teacher before walking out of the classroom together.

When it was time to get older, Peggy asked, "Do you know what's going on?" ”

"I don't know, but it's probably not a bad thing."

"What is the probability that you will be called to the principal's office all of a sudden, what is the probability that it will be a good thing?"

"It should be about zero." Link said, "You shouldn't have caused any trouble, please." ”

"You shouldn't ask me if I'm in trouble, but you should think for yourself if it's because you accidentally dated the granddaughter of the school director or something."

"I don't think so...... And Peggy, as an eleven-year-old girl, you shouldn't always say these things. ”

"I don't want to know too much, but you know, female students at school now often give me my favorite snacks and invite me to ice cream, just to know when you're free."

“……”

After meeting Ms. Flora in the principal's office, she seemed happy and in a good mood:

"Very good, I have a good thing to tell you both, the PSAT results are out, both of you got perfect scores, and now a college has called me.

You can get a full scholarship at any university in the country, especially Peggy, who is even willing to provide all the conveniences given your age. ”

The PSAT is the Academic Assessment Test Pre-test, also known as the National Merit Scholarship Eligibility Test, which is a warm-up competition before the Academic Assessment Test and a competition for scholarships for outstanding students in the United States.

Getting a perfect score in this exam means that the scholarship is nine out of ten. In fact, Sheldon had already scored perfect on this test, but his parents were not reassured, so they decided to wait until he was older to let him start college.

Getting a perfect score on this test is definitely good news for Link, and of course Principal Flora is equally happy:

"Every year in this exam, there are a lot of people who get high scores in our school, but the ones who get full scores are not every year, I didn't expect two to appear at a time this year, I think you can think about where you want to go to college next."

"Thank you, Ms. Flora, we are able to achieve where we are today and your help is inseparable." Link is also pleased that given the high tuition fees at American universities, a full scholarship is still very attractive to him.

"Oh, don't say that, I love seeing young people who work hard, Peggy's talent is one of the best I've seen in decades, and Link is just as good." Flora smiled and said, "So do you have a school you want to go to?" ”

Without waiting for Link to answer, Peggy said first, "Link and I have discussed it before, and we both like Princeton more. ”

"Well, it's a good choice, I have some information about Princeton University here, and I know the president of Princeton, if you are sure to choose this place, I can help you get in touch."

Princeton University is a world-renowned private research university located in New Jersey and is one of the prestigious Ivy League schools.

Albert Einstein, von Neumann, Hua Luogeng, Chern, Tsung-Dao Lee, Yang Zhenning and other great mathematicians and scientists have taught here, and the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University is indeed the most powerful existence in the field of mathematics in the world!

Link, who had planned to be a mathematician, had also considered Princeton University carefully, but after comparison, he preferred Caltech.

After all, it is not far from Hollywood and Silicon Valley, whether it is investing in Internet companies in the future or the concentration of beautiful women, it is the best choice for Link.

Moreover, Caltech is also a truly elite university, with a small scale, with just over 2,000 undergraduate students and only 800 new undergraduate students enrolled each year.

However, there are as many as 300 professors at or above the assistant professor level hired in the school, and the physics department is the top major at Caltech, ranking first in the world for many years.

Now that Peggy says that both of them want to go to Princeton, Link doesn't immediately refute it, but plans to wait until he gets back to talk to her.
