Chapter 42

In fact, as a foreigner, it is very cumbersome and difficult to apply to a university in the United States.

The normal way is to apply directly.Students must take various standardized tests, mainly including SAT, TOEFL or IELTS. All American universities accept this application method.The admission criteria of American universities include three aspects: academic performance, extracurricular activities and personality cultivation.Academic achievements include SAT and individual scores, AP scores, academic rankings, course average GPA, etc.; extracurricular activities include scientific research, literature and art, leadership, community service, competition awards, etc. Personality cultivation is mainly from personal statements, teachers or principals Letters of recommendation, interviews, etc.

Some American universities offer conditional admission without SAT, TOEFL or IELTS for students without standardized test scores.The school will issue two admission notices: one is the admission letter of the language center of the school, and the other is the conditional admission letter of the school's undergraduate course, so this admission method is called "dual admission".This method is very suitable for students who do not have time to take the language test or do not want to take the test. The schools with dual enrollment will rank in the middle, and the cost is relatively much higher.

Of course, you can also choose to go to high school in the United States and then go to university again.Or choose those low-tuition community colleges and then transfer to a four-year college.

However, sports special students can apply to American universities in a way that is different from ordinary students, and they can also have lower academic and language admission requirements.Physical education is by no means a dispensable "minor subject" in American education. Both schools, teachers and students will pay a lot of attention and time to physical education.Unlike in China, sports account for a large proportion of American university admissions.Their preference for sports talents is far beyond people's imagination.An Luo once saw this statement on the Internet: If a student gets a perfect score of 2400 on the SAT test and is admitted to Harvard, not to mention the headlines on the school website, there will be no news.But if a student is going to be on a sports team in college, that's a top priority for American schools.Each school pays far more attention to students with sports talents than those students with perfect SAT scores.In China, due to the relationship between the general environment and education culture, sports students are somewhat "simple-minded and well-developed" in people's impressions, and many people even always equate sports students with "poor students" .

In a situation like An Luo, as long as he passes the school's selection and is recognized as a "greatly valuable" talent, all procedures will become simpler.Of course, what should be there must be.Therefore, Anluo must first go back to China to go through the relevant procedures, and then sign a contract with UCLA and register before August 8st.

When An Luo got home, he immediately called Father An and Liao Ning.The former is to announce the good news, and the latter is to inquire about how to handle the relevant procedures.An Luo could clearly feel his father's emotions, even though he tried his best to hide the sense of loss in his voice.

And Liao Ning was very surprised.He is well aware of how difficult this matter is.Although Chinese basketball has been recognized by the world, most of that is due to the big players.On China's guard line, players who can be recognized by the world may have to be traced back to the end of the last century, the golden generation of Chinese basketball.It is really remarkable that An Luo can enter a famous American basketball school like UCLA.

At the same time, he was also very helpless. As a Chinese basketball worker, it was not easy for an excellent player trained by himself to enter a university team. I have to say it was very ironic.However, one day it will catch up.The toughness in the bones of the Chinese people will not be afraid of any difficulties.

An Luo left No. [-] Middle School, which had a great impact on him.After all, last season's No. [-] Middle School had made a big splash in the high school league, and the most critical part of it was An Luo. His offensive firepower was the biggest guarantee for the team's victory.However, he can understand when people go to high places.With Yi Anluo's current level, staying in the Ninth Middle School is indeed a bit inferior.

But in any case, for this matter, he must strongly support and do his best to promote it.He finally told An Luo that he could ask him for help when going to school to go through the relevant procedures.This was somewhat beyond An Luo's expectation. He was still thinking about how to go through those procedures, so it would be settled now.What a nice guy!
After all the business was done, Fu Yao took An Luo to play in Luo City.Although An Luo will come here for school soon, isn't he in a good mood now!

Every city has its unique attractions.As Los Angeles, the second largest city in the United States after New York, there are quite a few places like this.

The famous Hollywood, the fascinating Disney, and the star-studded Dolby Theater have made it the entertainment and cultural center of the entire United States.The unique geographical location allows it to have a long beach. Santa Monica and Venice Beach are both places worth visiting. It is also a wonderful thing to meet Hollywood stars at the end of US Route 66; Roddy, who is luxuriously decorated Ou Avenue and Griffith Park, which is planted with many oak trees and wild sage, are extraordinarily warm under the bright eyes of California; there is also the California Highway [-] that connects countless pearl-like towns scattered on the coast, It really is like heaven, so beautiful.

It took An Luo three days to check in the most representative locations in Los Angeles.To be honest, this place is really a good place, but the chattering sounds all around are a bit uncomfortable.An Luo is not a racist in a narrow sense, but he really doesn't like these things. The exaggerated expressions and slightly exaggerated tone form a huge contrast with the reservedness of the Chinese.If it weren't for the best basketball in the world, he wouldn't be here.

After resting at home for another day, An Luo flew back to Shudu.Although he hadn't left for a few days, he really missed that city a little bit.He really missed the scenery in that city, and even more the people in that city.

When he arrived in Shudu, Father An came to pick him up at the airport.This really made An Luo's arrival a special surprise. You must know that Father An has always had a stocking attitude towards him.Even when he first entered high school, An Luo went to the Ninth Middle School to apply for his name alone.It seems that An Luo's going abroad to study has a great impact on his father.

Back home, Father An cheerfully prepared a big meal for An Luo.Spare ribs in sauce, braised pork, and crispy broth are all An Luo's favorites.Although Father An always prepares such a meal for him every time he doesn't go home, but An Luo thinks this time is the most delicious.After eating western food for several days, An Luo was already too hungry.
