However, unlike other academic tyrants, this academic tyrant named Li Taibo has experienced setbacks that many people don't have: as the top student in Beijing science college entrance examination, he gave up the road to Peking University that countless domestic students dreamed of and applied to more than ten famous American universities, but all of them fell into the sea, and no school was willing to admit him.
Such an experience is extremely rare.
At one time, Li Taibo's road to study was also very smooth. With excellent academic performance, he was successfully admitted to high school affiliated to renmin university of china, a famous super middle school in China, and served as the monitor. During my study in the middle school attached to the National People's Congress, I not only achieved excellent results, but also showed various qualities. I was highly praised by the vice president of the high school attached to the National People's Congress as a leader with virtue and beauty, which shows my Excellence.
After entering the third year of senior high school, Li Taibo was recommended to the Mathematics Department of Peking University because he won the first prize in the Senior High School Mathematics League for three times. However, he gave up the recommendation qualification of Peking University and decided to go to the United States to study in universities. He applied to many famous universities in the United States, such as Harvard, Yale, Stanford and Princeton. Surprisingly, he applied to more than 0 universities in the United States/KLOC-0, but none of them responded. He was rejected by these universities collectively.
It is undoubtedly a big setback that the top middle schools in China gave up walking to Peking University, but were collectively rejected by famous American schools. This matter was widely reported by the domestic media and caused a sensation in that year. He was called a "loser" by the media.
But Li Taibo was not discouraged.
In 20 10, Li Taibo, who graduated from high school, took the college entrance examination and scored 703 points. He became the top science scholar in Beijing that year, was admitted to Tsinghua University and the University of Hong Kong, and won a scholarship of HK$ 640,000 from the University of Hong Kong.
I studied in Tsinghua during my freshman year, and then I went to Hong Kong one year later. After studying at the University of Hong Kong for one year, he chose to transfer to a prestigious American university and successfully entered the famous Massachusetts Institute of Technology to study for a double degree in electronic engineering and computer science. After graduation, he stayed at MIT to continue his master's degree.
20 17 after completing the master's degree, Li Taibo did not stop moving forward and successfully entered the first medical school in the United States-John? Hopkins Medical College, studying for a doctorate in medicine and philosophy, started a new round of eight-year medical study.
There is no doubt that Li Taibo's road to university study is very "tossing". He studied in Tsinghua and Hongkong University for one year, then entered MIT, majoring in electronic engineering and computer, and finally completed his master's degree and master's degree at MIT, and finally entered John F.? Hopkins University and changed his major from engineering to medicine.
At present, Li Taibo is in John? Hopkins is studying for a doctorate. As a second-year doctoral student in a top medical school, the academic pressure and scientific research pressure are naturally great, but he has a good attitude and can face all the difficulties and obstacles on his way and make a breakthrough. These are all thanks to the setbacks and "tossing" on the way to school that year. It is these experiences that further tempered his mind and enhanced his courage and ability to face difficulties and setbacks. He once said: "I found that these regrets and failures are also my greatest gains."
Li Taibo's road to study inspires us that no matter how excellent a person is, he may experience unexpected setbacks and failures, but as long as we have more and more courage and resolute actions, life will eventually have its own fruitful results.
Adversity quotient is high, which is an evaluation besides his high IQ and EQ.
Li Taibo, male, studied in high school affiliated to renmin university of china. Beijing 20 10 college entrance examination science champion was called "a leader with virtue and beauty" by the teacher.
1 1 After being rejected by a prestigious school, she persisted in her dream and embarked on a curve to save herself, rejecting Tsinghua and Peking University and choosing the University of Hong Kong. In my sophomore year, I transferred to Massachusetts Institute of Technology for a master's degree, and then to Oxford University for a master's degree in electronic engineering (bioengineering).
20 17 entered the Johns Hopkins medical college, the first medical college in the United States, and studied for a double doctorate in medicine and engineering. Rejected by many famous foreign universities, I didn't get discouraged, didn't settle for second best, but became more and more depressed and realized my original dream.
Just a few days ago, I saw the introduction of this senior, so I would like to answer here:
Li Taibo, once a student "celebrity" in the middle school attached to the National People's Congress, was known as "the first middle school in the universe". He was endowed with aura, high literacy and strong ability in all aspects, and was praised by the school as "a leader with virtue and beauty", which shows his Excellence.
However, this kind of Excellence was questioned after refusing to walk from Peking University and applying for more than 0 schools in the United States/KLOC-0. However, Xueba is Xueba, and he has not been defeated by the application. He took the college entrance examination and finally got 703 points. He was the top scholar in science that year and was admitted to Tsinghua and Hongkong University.
Since then, I have studied in Tsinghua as a freshman, Hong Kong University as a sophomore, and successfully applied for MIT as a junior, finally fulfilling my dream of studying abroad.
He studied for a double degree in electronic engineering and computer science at MIT, and continued to study for a master's degree in Massachusetts after graduation.
After graduating from 20 17, he successfully entered the first medical school in the United States-John? Hopkins medical college, studying for a double doctorate in medicine and philosophy.
Li Taibo's road to study is full of "tossing" in the eyes of outsiders, which is not worth the loss, but "how can you know the happiness of a fish if it is not a fish?" If his thoughts and practices are consistent with ordinary people, then it is possible that we don't know that there is such a "other people's child".
For Li Taibo's choice, from the perspective of a third party, I think it is completely understandable:
First, if you have a dream, then no matter how good the other options are, they are not what he wants. Peking University, Tsinghua and Hong Kong University are dreams in the eyes of many people, but they are not Li Taibo's "dishes". When he has the ability to pursue better goals, how can he not act? Compared with Harvard, Yale and MIT, which is better or worse, isn't it clear at a glance?
Second, not applying for a prestigious American school does not mean "high scores and low abilities". In fact, apart from some strange voices in the society, no one in the school thinks that Li Taibo has "high marks and low abilities". He has a wide range of hobbies, dabbles in a wide range and actively participates in extracurricular activities. There is no fixed standard for applying to a prestigious American school, and you will not be admitted because of high scores or a single factor. It is a comprehensive consideration. However, because there is no fixed standard, the application has a certain element of "luck", which some people call "metaphysics". It is common for top students to be rejected. Application failure is mainly due to different measurement standards, not necessarily because you are poor.
It is said that Li Taibo is currently at Johns Hopkins University, working diligently on the road of studying for a doctor of medicine, with pressure, difficulties and setbacks. But he said that his regrets and failures enhanced his courage and ability to face difficulties and setbacks, and those regrets and failures were also his greatest gains.
The doctor of the first medical college in America has a bright and attractive future. But who knows, will he do anything unusual again?
According to Li Taibo's own explanation, his name actually comes from Taber in The Analects of Confucius: "Taber, it can be said, is extremely virtuous. Third, let the world leave people speechless. " Confucius praised Wu Taibo as the first monarch of Wu and the ancestor of Wu culture.
The name is naturally good, and Li Taibo also proved his father's confidence with his later achievements and experiences. However, Li Taibo is really well known all over the world. Not only in the 20 10 college entrance examination, he scored 703 points and became the top scholar in science. However, before that, he rejected Peking University after obtaining the qualification of being sent to the Department of Mathematics of Peking University, and applied for the international undergraduate qualification of American 1 1 prestigious schools. Unfortunately, they were all rejected. So, good things don't go out, bad news travels fast, and Li Taibo became famous overnight.
According to the client Li Taibo, the reason why he refused Peking University was not that he didn't respect Peking University and didn't like mathematics, but that he was 17 years old and didn't know where his home was and where he was going next.
So, at the age of trial and error, during the window period when Plan B can be implemented, he applied for an international undergraduate in American 1 1 University in Senior Two. However, in order to save money for the family, Li Taibo applied for a full scholarship; This, in turn, became the key factor for Li Taibo's rejection: at that time, only a few China undergraduates were admitted to the Ivy League universities in the United States, let alone full scholarships.
If you don't know what happened in the college entrance examination in Li Taibo, it's very likely that Li Taibo was a failed champion and a hero of China examination who rejected Peking University and then was rejected by American universities. Later, Li Taibo became the top scholar in the scientific field. What's more, he fermented the matter to the extreme.
However, as Li Taibo's classmates explained, Li Taibo knew what he wanted, then jumped out of his comfort zone and kept trying, which was an unsuccessful but normal trial and error. Moreover, even if the application fails, there is still the stage of the college entrance examination.
Fourth, now Li Taibo has turned over and found a lifelong career-medicine.
Eight years ago, that nightmare setback did not defeat Li Taibo, but made him more and more depressed. His trial and error and adventure never stopped. For example, during his four years in college, he spent his freshman year in Tsinghua, his sophomore year in HKU, his junior year in MIT and his senior year in Cambridge. It was in Cambridge that I put on my doctor's white coat for the first time, which made this favored child who kept wandering in top universities feel at home.
Therefore, he gave up the lucrative salary and long-term prospects of CS major and came to Johns Hoops University in the United States to study for a double doctorate in medicine and science. Not long ago, he published his second article in the journal Nature SCN Methodology.
After reading Li Taibo's 28-year life experience, I suddenly feel that unexpected events happen in the sky and people are born different. Just like Mingyue mentioned in the last chapter of Those Things in the Ming Dynasty, "What is happiness? Happiness is to live your life in the way you like. " The core of this view lies in knowing yourself, discovering yourself and achieving yourself.
Li Taibo's experience is reminiscent of Chen Yinque 100 years ago. Chen Shiceng, my eldest brother, went to Japan to study in the United States and Europe. He didn't ask for academic qualifications, wrote papers or published books, but he still became one of the four great tutors in Tsinghua. Li Taibo, who knows what he wants, is like Yan Ziling, an old friend of Guangwudi. He repeatedly refused to be recruited and never held public office for life. He swam in Fuchun River and died in the forest.
So 1000 years later, Fan Zhongyan praised Yan Ziling for his "vast mountains and clear waters, virtuous teachers and long mountains and high waters". Later, a friend of Fan Zhongyan pointed out that it seemed better to change "virtue" to "wind", and Lao Fan readily accepted it. So there is a better artistic conception of "Yunshan is grey, the rivers and seas are vast, the wind of gentlemen is long, and the mountains are high." The teacher's name is Li Taibo, and he has the same name as the protagonist in this article.
Jin Lin is not a thing in the pool, but a dragon in a storm, yes.
There are many different labels and evaluations about Li Taibo: 20 10, the champion of the Beijing Science College Entrance Examination,1/kloc-0, the champion of the senior high school entrance examination in the United States, which makes him a typical loser of exam-oriented education.
Also evaluated by the teacher as a leader with both ability and political integrity and outstanding appearance, with a wide range of hobbies; Also described by the media as a bookworm who can only read. . .
Li Taibo, a senior three student in high school affiliated to renmin university of china, voluntarily gave up the chance to walk to the Mathematics Department of Peking University. The reason is: "I didn't have a clear plan for the future when I got the qualification for walking race, and I think young people should experience more challenges, and I have the confidence to accept it." So there was 20 10, the top science student in Beijing college entrance examination, with a total score of 703. His first wish is the Department of Electronics in Tsinghua University. He studied in Tsinghua for a year, and then went to the University of Hong Kong for another year. I transferred to MIT in my junior year and applied for an exchange program at Cambridge University in my senior year. After four years in college, he went to four different world famous schools.
After graduating from undergraduate course, he continued to study for a master's degree at MIT. Is it John in Li Taibo today? Hopkins University is studying for a doctorate in medicine and science.
This evaluation comes from Mr. Shen, Vice President of the High School Attached to the National People's Congress. In addition to being the top student in the college entrance examination, he was also the monitor, the president of the student union, the president of the Model United Nations, the head of the volunteer team and the champion of the three-time national mathematics competition in high school. He likes music and art. . . In the middle school attached to the National People's Congress, where scholars gather, Li Taibo not only achieved excellent academic performance, but also developed in an all-round way.
20 10 in April, he applied for 1 1 American famous schools including Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Columbia, but all of them were rejected without exception. At that time, the media was in an uproar. You know, he gave up the opportunity to walk to Peking University at that time, so the media all thought that he was just a loser in exam-oriented education.
As the saying goes, Li Taibo is no longer regarded as a failure product of exam-oriented education by public opinion, and Li Taibo's development experience also proves that he is not vain. At that time, Li Taibo was not defeated by the experience of failed application, nor lost himself under the pressure of public opinion. What he left for everyone to think is that excellent people are often more clear about their goals and know how to work hard to achieve the results they want. Of course, I hope the media will give more room for the talents who have grown up in various auras since childhood. After all, everyone has their own life.
We mortals really don't understand the world of learning God. Throughout Li Taibo's life, we can only sigh that a hard life needs no explanation.
Born in the experimental class of the National Top Middle School Affiliated to the National People's Congress, he was praised as "a leader with virtue and beauty" by the president of the National People's Congress Affiliated High School, and refused to go to Peking University, the champion of the 20 10 Beijing Science College Entrance Examination ... numerous honors and titles. It is easy and common to choose any famous school in the world, but ...
Li Taibo "lost to fame"!
However, the man of the hour in the high school attached to the National People's Congress was rejected by 1 1 famous foreign universities, and all 13 ivy league universities such as Harvard, Yale, Stanford and Columbia in the United States gave him a red light.
18' s little boy was suddenly pushed to the forefront of public opinion and said everything. The public is curious about why he was rejected. Afterwards, Li Taibo made an objective analysis of himself, saying that there were indeed many problems in his preparation work, such as hasty preparation time and scattered social activities in the document, which did not show his unique side. Moreover, the SAT score is not high enough, and the American competition score is not the best.
Isn't that normal? The enrollment of top universities from Chinese mainland is a small probability event. In addition, the first place in the college entrance examination itself is quite accidental, and there is no need to speculate.
After the college entrance examination, Li Taibo went all the way from Tsinghua and HKU to Massachusetts and Cambridge, and obtained a double degree in electronic engineering and computer science from MIT. Just when everyone thought he would make a difference in science and engineering, in the autumn of 20 17, Li Taibo became the medical doctor of Hopkins Medical College, the top medical school in the United States!
Sure enough, we ordinary people don't understand the world of learning hegemony. According to Li Taibo himself, I studied computer and biology. The whole research is not only interesting, but also more fulfilling. I think studying medicine is very meaningful. This is the world of learning hegemony, and talents can be willful!
Well, I can only wish him better and better on the road of life!
Don't take foreign admission as the standard. There are too many poor students in China who can't go to college at home and get money abroad. Many foreign universities do not pay attention to grades, but the international rankings are still very high. That's because the western rankings seriously overestimate the western schools, so many schools with high western rankings should not take it too seriously.
Ungrateful person! Garbage! How dare you say it! What, when you were born, you weren't allowed to be fed by beautiful women?
