It is said that the GPA of domestic universities, in fact, after reading a few resumes, Lu Zhou had a headache and found that the water of Lake Ubegon had already flooded the American campus.

The most exaggerated time, he flipped through ten resumes in a row, and none of them had a GPA lower than 3.7 (on a 4.0 scale), and the course ratings were all above A without exception!

If you put it in China, a university with a 4.0 point system can get a GPA of 3.5, which is a proper academic bully.

Even considering that scumbags may not dare to apply for Princeton, these resumes are really too pretty.

It's like inflation, if high scores become a common phenomenon, then high scores are no longer useful......

Since the paper results can't be used as a reference, Lu Zhou can only look at other resumes.

Students with thesis experience are preferred, those with scientific research experience are preferred, and then it is necessary to read recommendation letters and students' self-evaluation...... Social practice ability and sports awards are secondary, maybe other professors like these, but Lu Zhou has his own judging criteria.

In the end, after some consideration, he left ten resumes, all of which are talents with good quality in all aspects.

In particular, he was most pleased by Vera Puyuy from Berkeley.

The weight of an IMO gold medal is a talent worthy of focus on cultivating in any university. And the relationship at Berkeley also made him very fond of this diligent and inquisitive little girl.

It's just that to Lu Zhou's surprise, he didn't expect that she had already graduated from a bachelor's degree at such a young age. Even if you are considering graduating early, it is not easy to complete your undergraduate studies at this age.

Could it be another Tao Zhexuan-type genius?

What is more interesting is that among her three letters of recommendation, there happens to be Professor Tao Zhexuan, who teaches at the University of California.

In short, Lu Zhou kept this resume.

Because it is the first batch of enrollment, this batch of Lu Zhou plans to recruit three masters, and then consider whether to recruit one or not to recruit each session in the future. Everyone's progress in the lab is different, and it's a hassle for him.

One of the places has already been given to Vera, who has won the IMO gold medal and has published a paper on her own, so the remaining two places must be selected from nine resumes.

In order to prevent Xiaotong from making trouble on the side, Lu Zhou arranged all the interviews in the morning.

For those who have just finished the college entrance examination, there is no such thing as a morning.

Early?

Inexistent.

The first round of interviews is mainly for resumes from the Chinese region, and in any case, he will bring a Chinese student. In fact, if he could, he would like to give this place to the younger students, but unfortunately this year's time is too uncoincidental, and he missed the time to study abroad on public assignment, and there are few people who apply to the Princeton Department of Mathematics at Jinda, so he can only wait for the admission in the spring of next year.

After opening Skype, Lu Zhou started the first interview.

The first interviewer was on time for the video request according to the appointment time.

Appearing on the opposite side of the video is a young lady with oblique bangs, wearing round-framed glasses, looking delicate and peugeot, and her temperament is very intellectual...... But that's not the point.

Lu Zhou glanced at his resume, cleared his throat and asked.

"Is it the language of the book?"

Liang Shuyu smiled slightly, and was not frightened by the weight of the Craford Award or the aura of the land god, nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Lu Zhou: "What are your plans after graduation?" ”

In the voice of the announcer, Liang Shuyu continued: "I plan to continue to study for a doctorate, absorb scientific research nutrients on a higher platform, realize the value of life, and dedicate my youth to the cause ......of scientific research."

Lu Zhou glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer, and was surprised to find that it was exactly three minutes, no more, no less

Giving her a somewhat strange look, he continued, "So...... Why did you choose number theory? ”

There were no surprises, and the answer he got was still standard.

"I have read Mr. Hua Luogeng's "Theory of Stacked Prime Numbers" and Joseph H. Silverman's "Introduction to Number Theory", and I have made two reading notes, and I have been interested in number theory since I was in college. It was very emotional to read in the news that you solved the Goldbach conjecture and won the glory of the Cafford Prize for our country. From that moment on, I decided to follow you as you explore the mysteries of prime numbers. ”

This sycophant shot was to the point, Lu Zhou was a little embarrassed, and couldn't help coughing lightly and said, "Then you can briefly talk about the group construction method......

If you worship me so much, this thing should be easy.

However, something awkward happened.

Faced with this question, the young lady was stunned.

Although she reacted quickly and stumbled on something, none of them answered the point.

It is clear that although she was well prepared and appeared to be very interested in him, she did not really understand his doctrine.

In fact, this is nothing, if she can do it, Lu Zhou will have nothing to teach.

However, the first quality of Lu Zhou's selection of students, in addition to knowledge, is also the corresponding honesty.

Mr. Qiu's lessons from the past are there, he doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of the old man in this regard, and finally make trouble between the master and apprentice, and be talked about by some villains.

Sighing softly in his heart, Lu Zhou smiled gently and comforted: "It doesn't matter if it won't, many things are indeed very profound, and it may be a little difficult for you." That's it for the interview, and you will be notified of the results within a week. ”

Liang Shuyu's eyes lit up, thinking that there was a play, so he smiled and said, "Then thank you, teacher." ”

The video ends.

casually drew a cross in the upper right corner of the resume, and Lu Zhou put it aside.

There is no such thing as a play.

This interviewer always gave him a feeling of President Lin.

Although he didn't hate Chairman Lin, he still couldn't thank him for putting this kind of person in his laboratory.

As for her motivation for applying for her master's degree, Lu Zhou could also guess that most of them wanted to come to Princeton to gild, and then the Thousand People planned to return to China, and with the influence of her mentor, she could go all the way from now on.

To be honest, he didn't want to comment on the loopholes in the talent introduction plan, but Lu Zhou still wanted to complain: If you plan to take the political work route, you will honestly rely on civil servants to do wool, and I am not a whitewasher.

There are few Chinese professors in Princeton, and a place is very precious!

After a few minutes of rest, the second interview began quickly.

This interviewer is a boy from Kaida University.

It's a pity that I didn't receive a resume from Jinda this time, and I think most of the resumes are flying to the physics side.

Lu Zhou cleared his throat and asked formulaically, "Qin Yue, is it?" ”

Hearing the interviewer's question, Qin Yue nodded quickly and said nervously, "Yes!" ”

Seeing his nervous appearance, Lu Zhou knew why he was brushed off.

Honesty is the first element in the interview, but it is not enough to be honest, you also need to express yourself and show your ability.

Otherwise, you won't dare to make a report on stage, and no matter how much you cultivate, your efforts will be in vain.

However, Lu Zhou intends to give him a chance, because his grades on paper are really good.

And what is more rare is that this guy actually published a paper at the undergraduate level. Although it is a thesis in the second district, it is already very good for an undergraduate student to have the ability to write essays.

Lu Zhou thought for a while and said in English: "Let's introduce myself first." ”

Qin Yue sat up straight as if reflexively, and said nervously: "I, my name is Qin Yue, 23 years old, from Kaida ......"

Although it was stumbling at first, it got much better later, and there should be no big problem in terms of language. Lu Zhou then asked a few more professional questions, confirming his choice of number theory direction and his motivation for choosing himself.

In general, he is a gifted student, without complicated scheming, and there are no big problems in character. If you want to talk about defects, it may be a little lack of expression ability, but if you are willing to make efforts to correct it, it is not impossible.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Zhou spoke.

"That's all for the interview, within a week, I will send you the results of the interview."

Hearing that the interview was over, Qin Yue breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said thank you.

However, looking at his bitter smile, Lu Zhou felt that this brother might not have much hope for his interview results.

After hanging up the video, the tip of the pen stopped in the upper right corner of the resume, and Lu Zhou thought seriously for a moment.

To stay or not to stay?

In the end, instead of putting a cross on it, he simply annotated a line of comments on his resume and set it aside.

There are still so many resumes that he hasn't read, and he plans to interview them all before making his final choice......
