Stanford alumnus JC

 

JC/ special guest

 

· Graduated from Arcadia High School in the United States;

· Computer Science, Stanford University;

· Focus on artificial intelligence

As a guest speaker, JC returned to our graduation season event this year. Last year, he shared his experiences of attending high school in the U.S. and applying to universities. Now a member of Stanford University, he passionately recounted his first-year life at Stanford through multiple perspectives: the campus atmosphere, differences between British and American education systems, and amusing anecdotes from studying abroad. His talk opened a gateway to world-class universities for younger students, guiding them to explore the possibilities of top-tier institutions.

 

American university education system

In the United States, college applications are more focused on all-round development of moral, intellectual and physical qualities. Admissions officers will pay more attention to students' sense of social responsibility and extracurricular activities they have participated in.

 

At the same time, unlike British universities, American universities have a high degree of freedom to choose courses by credit, which requires students' independent learning ability. Therefore, it is very important to clarify their own planning and balance.

 

The academic atmosphere of Stanford

After a year of college life, JC believes that most Stanford students have the following characteristics:

 diversification

Admissions officers at American universities do not place much emphasis on students' professional competence in their chosen major, so students at Stanford are also very diverse;

 

 

High degree of autonomy

Due to the extremely free course selection system in American universities, students have a strong sense of autonomy, which is also reflected in their active compliance with epidemic prevention rules;

 

Always be curious

JC mentioned that in Stanford, students tend not to focus only on their own major field, but like to communicate with each other, and students are also very willing to help each other and absorb different knowledge;

Classroom activity and participation are high

The world's top universities do not restrict students' expression in the classroom, allowing each student to benefit from an interactive atmosphere.

 

Stanford University also has a wealth of extracurricular activities. JC also shared some interesting stories about Stanford on the spot. His humorous expression won the applause from the audience and made the scene full of laughter.

 

He graduated from Cornell University,

Jack, a senior who is both literate and martial

Guest Jair/Jack

 

 

· Minor in finance from Cornell University, majoring in landscape architecture;

· Captain of Cornell University's golf team

 

Jack, who went to the United States to study after primary school, has more rich experience of studying abroad than many people. At the event, Jack divided his study abroad and growth experience into three stages: middle school, undergraduate and work, and gave a speech of great reference value for younger students.

 

Junior high: fully integrated into North American culture

When he first arrived in a foreign country, the first thing Jack had to overcome was the cultural difference. Jack chose to start from his most skilled field and actively participate in extracurricular activities.

 

 

Jack was so steeped in golf from an early age that he decided to use his golf skills to help him get into Cornell University.

 

Jack's application experience also provides a good reference for younger students who are also sports students.

Undergraduate: The happiest four years

After entering college, Jack continued to develop his love of golf. During his college years, he won several team and individual championships at the College Golf Invitational, and became captain of the Cornell University golf team in his senior year.

 

 

Jack also shared his daily schedule at Cornell, showing how he balances school and work.

 

 

As for his study life in Cornell University, Jack said that it was the happiest four years of his life, and wished all his younger brothers and sisters a full and happy study abroad life.

 

Graduation: stepping into the workplace to find the direction of life

Jack's work history is a combination of opportunity and strength. He shared his experience of being recommended by a professor to design a golf course in Georgia when he was a college student, which led him to start his own career.

When it comes to life planning, Jack believes that what you do at each stage is to prepare for the next stage, and you should make long-term plans.

 

Finally, Jack affirmed the significance of golf to himself again. He believed that golf was the best teacher in his life and hoped that younger students could try it if they had the chance.

 

Both of our seniors gave us a lot of useful and wonderful speeches with their colorful overseas study experiences. I believe every student can benefit a lot from their sharing.

 

So today's report on the two guests' sharing of content is over, there are more wonderful speeches from the guests at the scene, welcome to follow up our report!
