A series of reports on "Chengdu middle school students knocking on the doors of overseas famous schools like this"

When I first met Wang Jiaying, I was very quiet. But under her quiet appearance, there is a heart that dares to rush, dare to speak and has a lot of personality.

She is good at Olympic Mathematics and an expert in winter swimming. When studying abroad became a tool for some "poor students", Wang Jiaying, a "gifted student", thought that studying abroad was more challenging and gave up the Chinese college entrance examination.

Wang Jiaying, a student studying in Chengdu.

13 On June 38, Wang Jiaying was in a good mood. She just got an admission notice from Macalester College and a four-and-a-half-year scholarship of $90,000, and became an alumnus with Kofi Annan, the seventh Secretary-General of the United Nations.

Wang Jiaying didn't take the Chinese college entrance examination and passed the English exam. She plans to spend time learning German. Because she thinks German sounds good, and Germany is also one of the birthplaces of economics, and it is a major with Annan's bachelor's degree.

Homemade color cards impress famous schools

Wang Jiaying opened her carry-on bag, a colorful admission notice and "Great!" , the admissions examiner of Macalester University. Her comments show that her upcoming American life is colorful.

"I found a school that suits me." Wang Jiaying said that Macalester College was chosen because it is only 4 kilometers away from Shuangcheng, the youngest big city in the north-central United States, and you can enjoy resources such as libraries and theaters here. Crucially, Kofi Annan, the seventh Secretary-General of the United Nations, got a bachelor's degree in economics here, which is also the major that Wang Jiaying wants to study most.

Wang Jiaying felt that it was not entirely luck that she was admitted. "It should be the' multicolored card' that I personally made that left a deep impression on them."

Open the website of Macalester University, and colorful words introduce the characteristics of this school.

"Only this lively, cheerful and diversified school will have a word and a color that suits my personality." Wang Jiaying skillfully won the attention of the school's admissions examiners with her self-made English "color paper-cut card", and stood out from thousands of applications for admission, winning a four-year scholarship of $90,000 and a half.

Decided to learn German before going abroad.

During the summer vacation of junior high school, Wang Jiaying attended a summer camp in the United States. She was deeply attracted by the free learning atmosphere of students on the campus of Stanford University.

"I want to study in the United States." After returning from America, Wang Jiaying announced her decision to the engineer's father and the doctor's mother.

"I decide my own business." Mom and dad are always very supportive.

I won't take the college entrance examination in China. Wang Jiaying intends to spend some time with his parents, read more books ... and most importantly, learn German before traveling to the United States. First of all, she thinks German sounds good. Secondly, she thinks Germany is one of the cradles of economics. Macalester College, where she attended, is a famous school of economics and political science in the United States, where Annan also obtained his bachelor's degree in economics, so it is necessary to lay a good foundation early.

Studying abroad is a challenging "adventure"

With strong math scores, Wang Jiaying ranks in the top 50 in the overall grade. However, in order to cope with the SAT test in the United States, Wang Jiaying spent a winter vacation in Senior Two, totally immersed in his father's alma mater, the empty teaching building of Southwest Jiaotong University.

From the age of 4, Wang Jiaying began to learn folk dance for 8 years, and began to practice winter swimming at the age of 5. When the cold wind came, Wang Jiaying jumped into the biting Mengzhuwan swimming pool at the urging of the coach, and she insisted on swimming until the middle school in winter. Wang Jiaying said that after arriving in the United States, she will continue to swim in winter.

In Wang Jiaying's eyes, studying in the United States is a challenging "adventure".

In my father's eyes, Wang Jiaying is a brave and simple-minded girl. When Wang Jiaying was about 4 years old, she took the clock apart. At this time, my father had been waiting for her to completely dismantle it before saying to her, "Don't dismantle it casually when you don't know the principle. The clock is used to tell the time. "
