This classmate, Wang, likes instant noodles since he was a child. Once he went to Singapore and ate a bag of instant noodles, he felt that "the whole world view has been subverted". Later, he tasted instant noodles all over the world. When he applied for an American school this time, he added this experience and was really admitted to the University of Rochester. The admissions officer said that he was admitted because of his passion for instant noodles.
Many readers must feel that "the whole world outlook has also been subverted" when they see this.
Because of his passion for instant noodles
He was admitted to a famous American school.
The University of Rochester ranks 32nd in the United States. According to the data, 7 scholars in this school are academicians of the National Academy of Sciences, and 18 scholars are academicians of the American College of Arts and Sciences. Among its teachers and alumni, 8 professors won the Nobel Prize and 9 scholars won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature.
Can you imagine that one of the reasons for admission written in the admission notice of this awesome school is actually because of instant noodles?
Recently, Wang, a senior three student in Fuzhou No.1 Middle School, received such an admission notice. I heard that eating instant noodles can also be admitted to a famous American school, and the students were shocked! Wang's friend posted the news on Weibo and attached a screenshot of the admission notice.
The third paragraph of the notice is translated as follows: After learning about your enthusiasm for Lamian Noodles, the counselor recommended you. The Committee and I are convinced that as a member of Rochester, you will stick to it and grow stronger.
Instant noodles in Asia
He basically ate it once.
Wang, who was admitted, said that eating instant noodles is his biggest hobby, so he wrote this in his application materials when he applied for an American university. I didn't expect it to really be the reason for admission. He thinks Americans are interesting!
Wang said that when I was a child, because of my parents' work, I was not at home during the day and I couldn't cook. He often eats instant noodles for convenience. From Master Kong's beginning to tasting, he will taste various brands of instant noodles, and his hobby for instant noodles is thus formed.
Later, I went to Singapore once and ate instant noodles there. It was so delicious that I felt that "the whole world view was subverted". Since then, he has become more enthusiastic about eating instant noodles. Every country in Korea and Japan has to taste instant noodles, and all brands in Asia have basically eaten instant noodles.
After graduating from high school, he plans to study abroad. Because there is a hobby in the application documents of foreign universities, he wrote it in eating instant noodles, which unexpectedly caught the attention of the admissions officer.
In this regard, Mr. Zhu, who sent a message to Weibo, also expressed great interest. He said that the general admission notices are written in a polite way, and it would be more fun to mention this.
However, Wang said that writing instant noodles as a specialty is only a way to attract admissions officers, and it is not a special hobby. Friends who study together have more fun experiences.
Educators say that because western countries pay more attention to personal interests, it is relatively difficult for undergraduates to apply for American universities. Students with distinctive characteristics often attract the attention of admissions officers, but the premise of admission is that their academic performance is good enough.
Experts say:
This incident reflects the differences between Chinese and American educational concepts.
It is not difficult to eat instant noodles, but it is difficult to eat instant noodles into famous American schools. In this regard, Miss Gao, who is engaged in the education industry, said that generally applying for studying abroad basically requires three hard materials:
1, resume, course summary, is your high school or college report card. According to your major, you can selectively extract some subjects and translate them into English. Applying for foreign universities attaches great importance to students' GPA, that is, grade points.
2, PS, personal statement, explain your experience, hobbies, understanding of the school you applied for, why you applied for this school and other useful information for you to apply for this school.
3. Language scores are IELTS or TOEFL scores. This is just the foundation, but different schools are different. Miss Lin, who is engaged in study abroad consultation, told reporters that the top 50 schools in the United States have different styles and pay different attention to students, but they all pay attention to students' personality, leadership and expertise.
In students' personal statements, most students write about their activities and organizational skills, and rarely write about diet, so instant noodles themselves are fresher. When writing instant noodles, this student should not only have a hobby, but also have an understanding of instant noodles, which will impress the admissions officer deeply. If his grades are the same, he is likely to stand out.
According to the reporter's information, Yale University introduces a new student at the entrance ceremony every year. One year, the headmaster recommended a girl whose specialty was making apple pie. The headmaster explained that every year freshmen should fill in their own specialties on their resumes, and almost all students choose sports, music, painting and so on. No one has written "Good at making apple pie".
Teacher Peng, who has just returned from studying at Syracuse University in the United States, said that American universities, unlike China, only take college entrance examination results as admission criteria. Although score is an important criterion for school admission, it pays more attention to students' personality and future students' contribution to the school.
