The relationship between the University of Michigan at ann arbor and China has a long history. As early as 1896, two earliest medical doctors in China, Kang Aide and Shi Meiyu, were trained, and they were also the earliest female doctors in China. 19 17 Schools set up special scholarships to support oriental women, including China, to study abroad.

The University of Michigan at ann arbor was once known as the first-class university in the United States, and invested the most in China students. Its science and engineering are rare in the world, and its history department and art department are also top-notch. Even American students are afraid to enter the home without the average score of 10%, more than 2,000 SAT and certain extracurricular activities, and countless freshmen are eliminated every year.

However, even such an awesome school has a soft spot for China students.

Since 2005, at the end of June every year, 165438+ has issued admission notices to China students. It uses the usual American way of playing: moving people with emotion, and attracting outstanding middle school students in China with gold-lettered signboards and sweet words in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This trick is very useful in America. Ann Arbor, Michigan may believe that China students can be moved as much as American students: first, send a letter congratulating their admission, then send a parcel, and then keep in touch by email. How can China students not be excited because they got the admission notice from the first university in the United States this time?

In 2005, Ann Arbor, Michigan, enrolled more than 20 students from China for the first time. I got good grades and recruited a group of outstanding students from China.

Unfortunately, the typical American courtship in ann arbor, Michigan soon failed in front of the president and students.

Ann arbor, Michigan's infatuated enrollment tactics met with waterloo in China. In order to attract more students, the admission notice was issued on June 5438+065438+ 10, 2006. Eight students from a foreign language class in Northeast China applied, and all got the admission notice. The applicants are not very enthusiastic. Even if they go to other universities with poor rankings, students are reluctant to go to Ann Arbor, Michigan. Only one person went in the end. This situation was repeated in Beijing, Shanghai and Nanjing, which led to the poor record of Ann Arbor, Michigan, China in 2006.

Ann Arbor, Michigan, is not content. In 2007 and 2008, he still issued a large number of admission books, and his emotional offensive was even more fierce. However, three admission notices were sent, and none of the students in China could be recruited. Despite the disappointment of the admissions staff in Ann Arbor, Michigan, nearly 1000 applications were issued before the end of 2009. In the autumn of 2065, at 438+00, only 100 China students were choosing to study in this world-famous university. Its overall admission rate is 50%, but it is only about 10% in China. How can it be embarrassing?

Ann arbor, Michigan, whose self-esteem was damaged, began to "fight back". First, modify the application method for admission in autumn: establish an early application (EA), and stipulate that 10 ends the application submission and1/kloc-0 ends the issuance of the admission notice. This should have been the happiest thing for China students. Almost all outstanding students are still sponsored by Ann Arbor, Michigan. But I didn't expect Ann Arbor, Michigan to stop letting China students lead by the nose. Instead, it will turn passive into active. Then there was another trick: delaying the release of the list. In the case of yet we called and urged a thousand times before she started toward us, the first batch of admission results were announced in 65438+February 65438+July, and only about 50 students from China were admitted, which was only 65438+12% of the previous year. Many well-known high schools in China either have none or have been admitted.

After that, Ann Arbor, Michigan simply pulled out the third trick: almost all the applications of the remaining large number of outstanding students were "postponed". This can be said to be a drastic measure for China students, and you have to bow your head and turn to other low-ranking schools. It is estimated that after 65438+ 10 months, ann arbor, Michigan will issue the admission notice bit by bit.

Punish the big with the small, so that you will always look down on Ann Arbor, Michigan.

However, some netizens summed it up. Ann Arbor generally offer directly to two kinds of people:

The first one is an exceptionally good Daniel. Although Ann Arbor knows that he recorded these people, they still don't go, but! However, as long as only a small part of it goes in the end, the sacrifice rate of return is worth it.

In addition, what's more interesting is that people with SAT scores of 2 100+ will be admitted, while those with SAT scores of 2,200+will be rejected. Well, it's just an abstract concept. Does not necessarily mean that SAT 2200+ is inferior to SAT 2 100+. This means that if there are two China students, A and B, choose Ann Arbor. Their backgrounds are similar, their academic qualifications are similar, and their activities are similar, but A's SAT 2 100+SAT 2200+, Ann Arbor will be biased towards A, because Ann Arbor thinks, "Well, I recorded you, and you probably came." "But B may be using me as a spare tire again."

This rule is only available online, but Ann Arbor's arrogance really deserves its reputation!
