Super Doctor of the Universe

Chapter 30 Choosing a University

Although there was an episode involving a wild boar during this camping trip, none of the four people involved told the teacher in charge.

However, in the finals the next day, Elise was also slightly affected and her condition was not very good.

Fortunately, the entire team cooperated more skillfully, and with the previous score still having a certain advantage, Wilmot Academy for the Gifted still won this camp and completed its third consecutive championship.

The summer vacation gradually passed, and Peggy did not tell lies. She joined Link's class as a new student after the school started.

After Peggy's mother Linda communicated with Principal Flora, considering that Peggy was only in her early teens, Principal Flora suggested that Peggy also stay at their home, so that Link, who was more familiar with her, could take care of her. .

Peggy didn't have many quirks like Sheldon, and since they were in separate rooms, Link didn't find anything intolerable.

The only problem is that Link has to avoid some classmates while they discuss the mysteries of life and learn how to sing in depth.

But this is not a big deal. Usually Link would wait for Peggy to fall asleep before sneaking out of Principal Flora's house or bringing people back.

It can be said that in the new high school, Link's life is still very exciting. Of course, his reputation has also spread here. Even though Link has always been selective, the business in the evening is still relatively busy.

Half a year passed like this, and Peggy's parents finally divorced. However, what made Link more gratified was that Peggy did feel depressed for a while after that, but after all, she did not turn into a bad girl who likes to play around like she originally did. .

But since then, Peggy has become much more silent than before, and prefers to discuss study matters with Link.

Although this allowed Link to speed up his own learning progress, he was still a little worried about Peggy and was preparing to learn more about psychology to see if Peggy could provide some guidance.

That day happened to be a literature class. In class, the teacher asked a student: "Kelly, tell me which sentence by Shakespeare you like best?"

"The mere shadow of love has given such rich joy. How sweet it would be to possess love itself."

This sentence comes from "Romeo and Juliet". It is very consistent with the girlish feelings of young girls and is also a relatively common answer. The teacher nodded, then turned to look at Link: "Link, which sentence do you like?"

"People can control their own destiny. If we are controlled by others, the fault is not in destiny, but in ourselves; even if I am locked in a nut shell, I still think that I am the king of the infinite universe."

Shakespeare wrote so many sentences, but he remembered these two sentences. After listening to it, the teacher confirmed that Link was a very ambitious person.

Having the will to control your destiny is not a bad thing, it is much better than lying on the ground as a salted fish, so he smiled and said: "Very good, based on the recent rumors, I thought your answer would be similar to Kelly's.

Of course, it is not easy to control your own destiny, but it is very difficult. When I was a child, I once wanted to be a scientist like Newton..."

At this moment, the classroom announcement rang: "Link, Peggy, please come to the principal's office."

After hearing the announcement, Link and Peggy looked at each other across the aisle, then stood up and said hello to the teacher before walking out of the classroom together.

When it was time to leave, Peggy asked, "Do you know what's going on?"

"I don't know, but it shouldn't be a bad thing."

"What are the chances that you think it's a good thing to be suddenly called to the principal's office?"

"It should be approximately zero." Link said, "You probably haven't caused any trouble."

"You shouldn't ask me if I got into any trouble, but you should think for yourself if it's because you accidentally dated the school director's granddaughter or something like that."

"I don't think so...and Peggy, as an eleven-year-old girl, you shouldn't always say these things."

"I don't want to know too much, but as you know, the female classmates in school often give me my favorite snacks and treat me to ice cream, just to know when you are free."

"..."

After meeting Ms. Flora in the principal's office, she seemed very happy and in a good mood:

"Very well, I have a good thing to tell you two. The PSAT results are out, you both got perfect scores, and now some colleges have called me.

You could all get a full scholarship to any college in the country, and Peggy in particular was even willing to accommodate everything considering your age. "

PSAT is the Preliminary Academic Assessment Test, also known as the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. It is a warm-up match before the Academic Assessment Test, and it is also a competition for scholarships for outstanding students in the United States.

Obtaining full marks in this test means that the scholarship is guaranteed. In fact, Sheldon had scored full marks on this test before, but his parents were not convinced, so they decided to wait until he was older before letting him start college.

Being able to get full marks in this test is definitely good news for Link. Of course, Principal Flora is also very happy:

"In this exam every year, there are many people in our school who get high scores, but those who get full scores are not every year. Unexpectedly, two people appeared at once this year. I think you can think about where to go next. Where to go to college?"

"Thank you, Ms. Flora. Our current results are inseparable from your help." Link is also very happy. Considering the expensive tuition fees at American universities, a full scholarship is still very attractive to him. of.

"Oh, don't say that. I like to see young people who work hard. Peggy's talent is one of the best among the students I have seen in decades. Link is also very outstanding." Flora said with a smile. : "So do you have a school you want to go to?"

Without waiting for Link to answer, Peggy said first: "Link and I have discussed before that we both prefer Princeton."

"Well, this is a good choice. I have some information about Princeton University here. In addition, I also know the president of Princeton. If you are sure to choose here, I can help you contact him."

Princeton University is a world-renowned private research university located in New Jersey and one of the famous Ivy League schools.

Einstein, von Neumann, Hua Luogeng, Chen Shengshen, Li Zhengdao, Yang Zhenning and other great mathematicians and scientists have all taught here. In addition, the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University is indeed the most powerful presence in the field of mathematics in the world!

Link, who originally planned to be a mathematician, also carefully considered Princeton University, but after comparison, he preferred Caltech.

After all, it is not far from Hollywood and Silicon Valley. Whether it is future investment in Internet companies or the concentration of beautiful women, it is the best choice for Link.

Moreover, Caltech is also a truly elite institution. It is small in scale, with only more than 2,000 undergraduate students, and only 800 new undergraduates are admitted every year.

However, the school employs a terrifying 300 professors with assistant professor or above positions, and the physics department is Caltech’s top major, ranking first in the world all year round.

Now Peggy said that both of them wanted to go to Princeton. Link did not refute it immediately, but planned to talk to her again when he got back.
