Recently, the students in the International Elite Class of the School of Information and Software Engineering at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China have been a little busy. Not only were there many gatherings, but I also continued to receive blessing messages from relatives and friends.
There are 20 students in the class
Among them, 2 students have applied for admission to Peking University and Nanjing University
The other 18 students have received more than 120 offers from the top 10 schools in the field of computer science in the United States
Among them, one student has received 14 full Ph.D. A scholarship...
How did this class of post-95s academic masters come to be? What's so special about them? Chengdu Commercial Daily client reporter will take you to find out.
data
There are 20 people in the class, and they have won more than 120 offers.
It is not unusual for the top student dormitory to be in the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China where experts gather. But this time, this top class class has something new. A set of data tells you how good the international elite class (class of 2014) of the School of Information and Software Engineering at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China is.
has a class of 20 people, with a 100% further study rate. Among them, 18 people went abroad for further study, and received a total of more than 120 offers. Among these 18 people, 50% received offers from the top 10 schools in the computer field in the United States. Such as Carnegie Mellon University , University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, University of Pennsylvania , Columbia University , etc.
This means that each person in the class received 6.7 offers, and the average grade point and grade point were as high as 3.93 (grade point is one of the conditions for applying to prestigious foreign schools, and the highest grade point is 4). Among them, Wang Yuke received 14 PHD offers (doctoral degree admissions) alone, and they received full scholarships.
Love
The 7 "Golden Flowers" in the class often make desserts for classmates and gain love
Among these 20 classmates, there are only 7 girls, known as the "7 Golden Flowers", and they are the darlings of the class. "Four of us girls, including me, have been admitted to Carnegie Mellon University, which ranks first in the field of computer science." The speaker was Zhang Hanya, a student in the International Elite Class, when asked whether girls have advantages in science and engineering classes. , she said with a smile: "Of course, and the boys in our class are very gentlemen. They take care of all the dirty and tiring work. They will help us move the new books in the new semester. The first two rows in the classroom are reserved for girls." .
Zhang Hanya said that she has received 10 offers so far, including the University of Edinburgh (2), Carnegie Mellon University (2), University of California, San Diego, etc. “Everyone thinks that girls are at a disadvantage when studying science and engineering, but we 7 Girls’ scores are not weaker than boys’. Judging from the results of this school application, girls are generally better than boys.”
Regarding future development, several other girls said that they are not worried that girls will not have an advantage in the field of computer science because “everything is better.” Strength speaks for itself, and girls with strong abilities are popular wherever they go.”
html Among the 07 girls, Chen Zhe is the league secretary of the class and has been admitted to Carnegie Mellon University. Classmate Wang Shiqi likes to make desserts and often makes desserts for her classmates. She almost spends the whole summer with desserts, and in the winter she switches to cookies, cakes, etc.The classmate Dang Bo who was sitting next to him (currently admitted to McGill University) joked: "There are so few girls, but fortunately a pair of good-looking couples were born. The relationship is stable and they have been in love for three years. This is probably It’s inseparable from knowing how to make desserts!” This made the students present burst into laughter. Zhang Hanya added that they are a model couple. Wang Shiqi not only has good grades, but also has excellent cooking skills. "Her boyfriend is good-looking. This young couple has received everyone's blessings."

is different from other students in the international elite class. Almost all of Wang Yuke’s applications are for doctoral degrees. Currently, he has received 14 doctoral degree admission notices, including George Washington University, Purdue University, William and Mary University, etc., and all of them are full scholarships. The scientific research direction he chose was more traditional computer systems. "The college provided us with many platforms. I started doing scientific research in my sophomore year. I went to foreign laboratories to conduct scientific research in my junior year. From then on, I was determined to pursue scientific research." , so choosing to study for a Ph.D. is more suitable for me."
" I know that scientific research is a long road, and it will be boring if you don't have enough interests and hobbies. "Wang Yuke said frankly that he had been exposed to the popular human-computer interaction system before, which made him unable to make a decision when choosing a major. One was the current popular one and the other was the traditional one. So, "My head teacher, Mr. Liao Yong, and I After discussion, he gave me a lot of guidance not only in scientific research, but also in career planning and life path selection. I decided to choose a more traditional direction based on my own interests, which would also have more potential. "
It is reported that Teacher Liao Yong is the head teacher of this international elite class and the chief professor of the School of Software. He has won the honorary title of "Favorite Teacher-Zhuoer Temperament Award" of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China.
interesting
will learn to play 2 times Students in the international elite class who won the school-level outstanding class collective
are not only good at learning, but also good at playing. “During college, classmates in the class are either engaged in scientific research or have gone abroad for internships, so it is difficult to get together. " Zhang Hanya recalled that the only happy reunion was after an international course training. "Everyone played in the party hall all night long, playing singing, dancing, and werewolf killing games. It was very exciting. "
" There are many versatile students in the class, including first-level volleyball players, computer game experts, and someone who plays the guitar very well. "Wang Yuke said that everyone is also very united in learning, "Every winter and summer vacation, when other classes in the courtyard have holidays, we are often the busiest. Not only do you have to be busy with scientific research, but you also have to prepare for going abroad. Everyone has to focus on English. "Often students in the class will supervise each other's learning and learn from each other's experiences, creating a strong learning atmosphere.
In their view, because they all have the goal of further study and have the same direction, it will be more class cohesion . Recalling the school-level selection last year Excellent class collective, the party secretary said, the tasks assigned by the class leader can be completed in advance without urging everyone, "Because we are an international class, we recorded videos in multiple languages to express our love. "At that time, many of the students who were notified of the video recording had already done internships abroad, so the content of the videos sent back mostly had local landmark buildings as backgrounds. Despite this, they all completed the submission of class selection materials with high quality and successfully obtained the 2 school-level class collective honors.
Features
Freshman tutors provide students with international exchange opportunities
