Chapter 49: Estimating Scores and Filling in Applications

"You must be very careful when filling in your first choice to make sure you will be admitted."

2003 6 Month 10 Day.

on Tuesday.

The head teacher Wang Qingtao kept repeating this sentence, walking back and forth between each student to give his advice, hoping that everyone in the class could choose a suitable university.

In a country where the application process is based on estimated scores, how to fill in the application form is as important as the college entrance examination.

In particular, most prestigious schools only accept first-choice applicants, so there is a risk that the second-choice applicants will be rejected. This also forces some applicants who have the scores to enter key universities to settle for second-best options for safety. Although this model ensures that all major universities can recruit high-scoring applicants, it increases the uncertainty of applicants, who are more likely to be rejected and forced to repeat the year.

To avoid this situation, you have to be conservative when filling out your application, unless you are very confident about your score.

Guyuan No. 1 High School adopted a centralized application method, so everyone gathered together again just after the college entrance examination.

Of course, there were also many parents analyzing the situation.

As a recommended student, Xu Yuan didn't need to attend, but he still went for Yang Bin and Wang Yongjie.

"Brother Yuan."

"Give us some advice."

"It's so hard to choose."

Yang Bin and Wang Yongjie sat beside Xu Yuan, looking at him pitifully.

It’s even more difficult than the college entrance examination.

They both came here alone, and Xu Yuan was the only one who could help and give suggestions.

at the same time.

Xu Yuan was thinking secretly in his heart.

According to Yang Bin's estimate, the score was conservatively over 500, which was an increase compared to the school's several rounds of simulation scores before the college entrance examination.

You can apply for a college.

Wang Yongjie's score was slightly less, stuck at the dividing line of around 500.

However, it happened that there was an accident in the mathematics section of this year's college entrance examination, so Yang Bin and others might have a better choice.

The thought stayed here, and Xu Yuan immediately replied: "The difficulty coefficient of the math test this year is very high. I guess the admission score will definitely drop, so you might as well be bold when filling out your application." After saying that, he took Yang Bin's application guide and turned to the page of a university.

"You can try the industrial university in the provincial capital."

"Industrial University?"

Yang Bin's eyes widened when he heard this: "But I'm still several dozen points short of their admission scores from the past two years."

Xu Yuan ignored Yang Bin's changing expression and turned around to select a suitable school for Wang Yongjie.

The common point is that their estimated scores are quite far from the previous admission lines of these two universities.

Just as the two were weighing the pros and cons, the class teacher Wang Qingtao came over.

"What Xu Yuan said does make sense, but there is also a risk of slipping into the school, which may force you to repeat the year."

"The risks that the head teacher mentioned definitely exist. The final choice is up to you. I am just giving my suggestions based on the analysis." Xu Yuan nodded and spread his hands and said.

That's all he can do as a friend.

After all, the choice of university can be said to be related to the future direction of life, and only Yang Bin and Wang Yongjie themselves can make this decision.

After about ten seconds, a look of determination suddenly appeared in Yang Bin's eyes.

Obviously he had made plans.

"Gamble."

"I'll apply to the provincial industrial university. At worst, I can repeat my studies for another year."

"I will listen to Brother Yuan too." Wang Yongjie followed up Yang Bin's words and echoed them.

Wang Qingtao saw this scene, his lips moved with a slight hesitation but he finally chose to remain silent.

that's it.

It took two hours for everyone to fill in their applications. It is worth mentioning that class monitor Deng Yanna applied to the University of Science and Technology in the province at the suggestion of her parents, while Xie Qisheng chose a university in another province. Few people were as bold as Yang Bin and Wang Yongjie.

Of course, the most important thing is that they trust Xu Yuan enough.

……

On the day the college entrance examination ended, the class was planning to hold a graduation party for everyone to have fun.

After all, it’s uncertain whether we’ll have the chance to meet again after this separation.

But since many people were not in the mood after the college entrance examination, Deng Yanna had to suggest putting it off until after filling out the application form.

As a result, many parents followed and took their children away directly after filling out their applications, including Deng Yanna herself, so the gathering ultimately did not take place.

Instead, Xu Yuan and his roommates had lunch together at noon.

After the party ended reluctantly, Xu Yuan did not take the township bus directly to go home.

He ran to an Internet cafe in the county town.

Turn on the computer and go online.

Perhaps because the college entrance examination was just over, there were basically no empty seats in the Internet cafe, which had not many computers.

The space is completely separated by blue wooden boards, making it look very small.

Xu Yuan cast his eyes and glanced at the screen, and found that many people were playing online games such as Bubble Bobble Conquer. Both the computer style and the game screen had a heavy historical atmosphere.

This was his first time turning on the computer in an Internet cafe. After finding his seat and sitting down, he briefly studied it.

The wide, thick silver-white screen with headphones hanging on the partition next to it looks familiar yet unfamiliar.

Of course he didn't turn on the computer to play games. He first registered a six-digit Penguin account for himself, then took out a piece of paper from his trouser pocket and added his friends one by one.

“I remember so much.”

Because he had not registered a Penguin account before, he had to write down some of his classmates' accounts.

Among them are Yang Bin, Wang Yongjie, Lin Haoming, Deng Yanna and others.

As for others who also do not have Penguin mobile phone numbers, it will be difficult to establish new social relationships unless they find the other person's home.

Soon after adding all the people on the note, Xu Yuan suddenly discovered that Deng Yanna had approved the application.

Become his first friend.

Only then did he remember that Deng Yanna had a computer at home.

Before he could send a message, he found himself in a new penguin group.

Although there are only a few people, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be the class group created by Deng Yana.

Although Penguin Group is a newly launched feature, it has become very popular after its launch.

I believe that it won’t be long before the once popular chat rooms will die.

Since no one sent any messages, Xu Yuan no longer paid too much attention to it. He took the opportunity to browse some of the most popular websites in the country while he still had time.

I even didn’t forget to take a stroll around Tianya Community.

-

Because the college entrance examination results will be announced in the second half of the month, Xu Yuan did not forget to buy a house during the holidays.

His parents have already visited the place several times in the past three months, and with the help of his eldest sister Xu Ying and his roommate, all the relevant information has been basically prepared. All that is left is for him, the protagonist, to go to the provincial capital to sign the agreement.

The total purchase cost of the residential housing and a shop on the first floor is nearly 400,000 yuan.

After finally paying a down payment of more than 100,000 yuan, I felt completely relieved.

Anyway, there is only a few hundred dollars of loan repayment pressure every month.

After finishing all this, time quickly came to the end of the month, causing countless candidates to stay by the phone to check their scores and confirm whether they can be admitted by their choices.
