Start your adventure with American TV series

Two or three families visited for two and a half days. After Beverly confirmed that little Sheldon was going to go to college next year, she strongly recommended him to come to Princeton University.

Only then did Locke learn that Beverly was also a professor at Princeton University. He took the opportunity to say that his target university was Princeton University and that he would visit Princeton University with Peggy in a few days.

Going to Princeton during the summer vacation has been planned for a long time.

Linda and Peggy came here to visit and consider whether Peggy should go to college here, while Locke wanted to get a letter of recommendation with enough weight to ensure that he could successfully enter Princeton University.

American colleges and universities were prepared for the upper class from the beginning, so the rules for selection are very consistent with the atmosphere of the upper class.

In my previous life, many people despised Dongguo's fraction-only theory. They all said that it was like thousands of troops squeezing a single-plank bridge. They often compared it with the quality-based theory used in American university admissions.

The so-called quality theory means that heroes are not judged by scores. But anyone who really understands the situation knows that if you want to be a hero, you must either be rich or powerful. To sum up in a common saying in later generations, you must have the ability to make money.

Among these heroes with money-making abilities, the first-line heroes are the descendants of the super-rich.

The super-rich ancestors of these front-line heroes, or the rich generation, established relevant funds early on, and then through these foundations, they donated money to build buildings and expensive teaching equipment to top prestigious schools, becoming the top donors to these schools.

When it is time for these first-line heroes to go to college, even if they have done nothing, even if their high school grades are lousy, and they are drunk all day long, they can easily enter the top schools that countless people have tried their best to enter, and become A winner in life in people's eyes.

To use a saying that once appeared on the Internet in the future, is the family fortune and social status that people have worked hard to accumulate for generations, can't it be compared to your more than ten years of struggle? It can be said that you are a typical example of someone who has struggled for a lifetime but can't compare to someone else's starting point. .

The parents of slightly worse second-tier heroes will donate hundreds of thousands of "insignificant" money to prestigious schools, and then become members of the donation committee of the prestigious school.

In this way, when their children apply for the university, the admissions office of the school will give priority to admit these people.

At the same time, they will also arrange for their children to attend college preparatory courses and honors courses, and participate in various niche sports that represent quality, such as equestrian and sailing.

Regardless of whether these niche sports can represent quality, the key point is that most students don't even have money to buy equipment.

After some screening, heroes with first- and second-tier abilities successfully won. For the next spots, mutant superpowers like Sheldon and Peggy need to be considered. After all, in the United States, the rich rely on their abilities, while the poor rely on mutations.

After all this, there are only a few places available for civilian students.

The remaining civilian students have neither the ability to make money nor the mutated super IQ, so they need to do their best to take the SAT, which is the so-called academic ability assessment.

After going around in circles like this, the result is back to the seemingly familiar merit-based theory. But at this time, because a large number of heroes have arrived on the other side first, the number of passes for the single-plank bridge has been greatly reduced.

As an orphan in this life, Locke is naturally not a hero with money-making abilities. Fortunately, he has system plug-ins, but he still needs to follow the program and use various methods to increase his chances of passing.

Participating in the Mathematical Olympiad competition team, joining the baseball team, and preparatory college are all preparations Locke has made for this. However, to be safe, he also needs a letter of recommendation with sufficient weight.

Locke, the principal and teacher of his school, had already taken care of it. Locke even found Dr. Sturgess, but his letter of recommendation at Princeton University was still not good enough.

These letters of recommendation are neither good nor bad, and they are not significant enough for those top schools to make a final decision.

Therefore, he thought of going to Princeton University to get to know the professors there, especially the professors in the mathematics department, and see if he could get a letter of recommendation from them.

Recommendation letters from professors in our school are still very important. Even if they are valued by professors in the mathematics department, it is basically a sure thing, just like the school will always give preferential treatment to graduate students.

In the future, we should also consider the situation of the interviewer. It would be better if there is a female interviewer. It was at this time that Locke felt that his charm value had not been improved in vain. It is still useful to have a handsome face. .

After meeting Little Sheldon this time, there are not many opportunities to meet frequently. After all, the school in Dallas is still some distance from Little Sheldon's home, and they usually communicate through the Internet.

The three of them were planning to drive all the way to Princeton. The distance between the two places was more than 2,000 kilometers, and the drive would take more than 20 hours. Fortunately, there were two drivers, Locke and Linda, who would alternate driving, so they would not be too tired.

Plan three days each way so that you have more time and can rest well along the way.

"You have a profound understanding of mathematics. I welcome you to study at Princeton in the future. This is my letter of recommendation. In addition, I will also tell a few friends about you."

In Princeton's office, a man in his fifties with some gray hair said to Locke.

"Thank you very much, Dr. Getter."

Locke smiled and thanked the man in front of him. After arriving at Princeton University, he began to contact some professors at Princeton.

Relying on Beverly's introduction and her excellent performance, she successfully gained the favor of these people and received many weighty letters of recommendation.

The goal has been achieved. Based on the current situation, admission to school next year is probably a certainty. As for Peggy, she will travel around with Linda.

She is not worried about admission. Even these top schools will beg young geniuses like her to come to school. Coming here is more of a visit. Follow Linda to inspect the environment of Princeton and consider whether to let Peggy study here next year.

After leaving Dr. Gate's office, Locke was going to visit Beverly at home. After all, this time, thanks to Beverly, he could more easily get to know important professors at Princeton University.

Dr. Gate, in particular, admired Locke very much and hinted that Locke could go to his graduate school in the future, as if he wanted to train Locke as a future student.

In order to facilitate movement, Locke rented a car here, went back to the hotel to pick up the gifts he had prepared, and then headed to Beverly's house.

On the way, Locke was also distracted and thinking about the new changes in the system. After the intelligence reached 200 points, the system gained two new functions.

One of them is a necessary storage space for time travellers. It is only one cubic meter, but it can already hold a lot of things, and it can also be expanded with potential points.

Locke is considering whether to get some self-defense firearms. Because of the meditation method, Locke does not need to go to the shooting range frequently, and Locke can continue to practice his gun mastering skills.

Although he didn't put too much energy into this aspect, the experience value of the intermediate level was already over half. According to this progress, it would only take a year at most to reach the advanced level.

In the United States, it is better to have a gun with you to feel more at ease.

You can also get a long sword and dagger by the way. These cold weapons are also collected by many enthusiasts in the United States. They can also be used in specific situations with the skills mastered by cold weapons.

As for another change, in addition to the main profession, there is an additional column for secondary professions.

According to the introduction, this profession cannot trigger tasks, but if you achieve results that are consistent with the profession, achieve certain achievements, and increase your reputation, you will also be rewarded with potential points.

This is equivalent to one more way to increase potential points. Locke's first thought was to choose magician as his second career.

But after carefully considering the conditions for obtaining potential points, he quickly denied it. The achievement was okay, but the key was fame.

Magicians in this world need to hide themselves from ordinary people, which means they cannot spread their fame as magicians widely.

In this way, the acquisition of potential points will inevitably be greatly reduced, and it is better to consider another profession.
