Bai Xiangling, the champion of liberal arts in Jiangsu college entrance examination, missed the news of Tsinghua, Peking University and other universities because of the history elective course B+. I don't know how much sweat is paid behind the highest score, and my parents don't know how much hope they have. I don't want to miss the ideal university because of an elective course, and I am willing to accept students with excellent academic performance.

However, there is no Fiona Fang without rules, and rules are to be observed. In 2020, the college entrance examination in Jiangsu Province scored 480 points, and two proportional grades, A+, A, B+, B, C and D, were selected, and scores were not calculated. Arts students: Chinese 160 +40 (additional), Mathematics 160, English 120, History (required) 100, X (optional) 100. Science students: Chinese 160, mathematics 160 +40 (additional), English 120, optional physics 100, optional X 100. Bai Xiangling is a history elective B+, and one of the hard requirements of 985 universities such as Tsinghua Peking University is that the elective must be above A, and she can only be admitted in the face of such cruel facts. Fortunately, the University of Hong Kong finally extended an olive branch to Bai Xiangling and offered her a four-year million-dollar scholarship.

University is just a springboard of life, not necessarily Tsinghua. Peking University is the best choice, as long as you have the ability to shine everywhere, and HKU is also a good school. Although the outcome of this matter is relatively satisfactory, some people have raised doubts. In the face of outstanding students, can't Tsinghua Peking University make an exception for admission?

Of course, on a case-by-case basis, colleges and universities can make an exception in choosing students, but again, there is no rule that they cannot go to Fiona Fang. Exceptional admission also means unfairness in a certain sense. What's more, as a liberal arts student, the score of history subjects has not reached above A, which is a deficiency in itself, not caused by non-human factors. What's the point of the rules once every school is admitted at will according to its own preferences? Besides, if she is good enough, she will have her own place.
