Chapter 137
What does the top 1% mean?
To be honest, Jiang Yunu is not particularly clear.
She had only been in this world for a year, and what impressed her more about the scores on such major exams were actually expressions like "X points beat X thousand people", which used specific quantitative values to tell people whether they had done well in the exams or not.
Only the range percentage was given, so that Jiang Yunu could know that she should have done well in the exam, but she didn't know how well exactly.
"This score range," Jiang Yunu said, "should give me a higher chance of being admitted to my target school, right?"
Joyson: “Of course!”
The red-haired boy patted his chest and assured Jiang Yunu that her score was already outstanding in the seventh district.
After 9:30 in the morning, calls inquiring about Jiang Yunu's exam results came in one after another.
Everyone either asked her directly or indirectly about her score checking situation.
Jiang Yunu did not hide anything either, she told the other party her score results and ranking range frankly.
Auntie Daisy, Miss Lucy, Miss Mutisha, and Shesh were all obviously happy for her.
Aunt Daisy even said "thank you for your hard work" and "well done" several times, and then told Jiang Yunu and Qiao Yisen not to rush at school and to take their time packing their things. She would drive to Eng early tomorrow morning to pick up the two of them and take them home for summer vacation.
Jiang Yunu also got the "right to order dishes". Qiao Daisi promised to cook Jiang Yunu's favorite food from morning to night for the first three days of her vacation at home.
However, this small privilege actually doesn't make much difference whether you have it or not, mainly because Jiang Yunu is not picky about food and she likes to eat everything.
When Reiss Daniel and Zhou Jinxue also learned of Jiang Yunu's results, they were obviously still rational while being happy, and quickly thought about the next important question -
"Your test scores are very good, far exceeding the unified admission score," Resdaniel said, "but this only means that we can currently confirm that you will definitely be admitted to a high-ranking university."
However, there is no guarantee that he can be admitted to the "upper three districts" school that Jiang Yunu had initially chosen.
Zhou Jinxue had strong execution ability and spent another half an hour sending a piece of information to Jiang Yunu.
"This is the admissions data for the past three years," Zhou said objectively. "In the past three years, only students ranked in the top 1% had their files retrieved from schools in the 'upper three districts,' but after review, the probability of successful admission is only 30%."
Not even half.
Jiang Yunu was not surprised by the strictness of the recruitment process.
"Even if you're in the top 1%, you've only just reached the threshold of being 'noticeable.'" The white-haired girl sighed in anticipation and shrugged slightly, accepting the result well.
In any case, what Teacher Lei said at the beginning was right. She will definitely be able to go to a high-level school. If she can't squeeze into the "upper three districts", there are still schools in the central star district willing to open doors to her.
Jiang Yunu didn't consider the issue of submitting files for review for the time being - this matter was entirely up to the major advanced supernatural schools, and the admissions offices of each school had to decide independently which candidates' files to submit, so there was no point for her to consider it in advance.
Out of pure curiosity, Jiang Yunu asked Zhou Jinxue again, "Senior, have you seen the enrollment ratio of the 'Upper Three Districts' schools in the frontier star regions?"
A school with such resource advantages shouldn't have such strict requirements when recruiting students in the front star regions, right?
Zhou Jinxue quickly replied, "In the top three star regions, as long as the region ranks in the top 50%, the probability of being able to stay in the top three regions and attend a high-level school is 80%."
Jiang Yunu: "Hmm."
It’s also expected!
No wonder there are always people trying their best to get to the front star zones. The abundance of educational resources and other resources really makes people in the back star zones jealous.
Jiang Yunu pondered the comparison between "the top 1% means a 30% chance of being admitted" and "the top 50% means an 80% chance of being admitted" for a while, and she could only sigh inwardly: Fortunately, she is an "outsider".
Being an "outsider" means that even the relatively "low-level" things in this world are fresh to her, and the technology is more advanced than the world she lived in before.
Moreover, she has a relatively stable mentality and is not likely to complain about the huge gap in resources.
On the night when the results were released, Jiang Yunu had her last dinner of her "junior high school days" at Enge Junior High School.
That night, she tidied her dorm, gathering all the belongings she had brought from Chat City one by one and sorting them into her suitcase. When she first arrived at the university, she had only a large backpack, and when she went to participate in the inter-school competition, she had even less luggage to bring. However, after living in this small room for almost a year, she realized that she had far more personal belongings than when she first arrived.
She even got a suitcase.
A backpack can no longer hold all of her personal belongings.
Jiang Yunu didn't expect that she had left so many traces here. She was stunned for a moment as she looked at the gradually emptying dormitory room.
When she had almost finished packing, she walked out of her small room and walked around the entire dormitory building. The senior student who lived on the first floor had already left school a week ago, and the room downstairs was empty. The room on the second floor next to the small balcony belonged to her roommate, and the quiet girl still had her things there. She would return here at the beginning of the next semester to continue her sophomore career.
However, my roommate's home was far from the school, and he was one of those people who went home immediately after the exam. His things were still there, but he had already started his journey home.
Jiang Yunu watered the flowers on the balcony for his roommate and felt that his dormitory building was unprecedentedly quiet.
"And they said they'd send me off next." Jiang Yunu felt the breeze on the balcony, recalling her roommate's melancholy words. She stretched lazily, sniffing the faint fragrance of summer flowers. "Even at the end of this semester, I'm the last 'gatekeeper' of the dormitory."
After taking a last nap in the dormitory building, Jiang Yunu went downstairs early the next morning carrying a bag and a suitcase.
She walked out of the dormitory and said goodbye to the small building that carried the memories of her entire primary school life.
Aunt Daisy's car had already stopped at the stop at the bottom of the long slope, and she took the shuttle bus up the slope to the school to pick up her two children from the dormitory area.
"Why did you let your sister carry the suitcase by herself?" Jodie slapped Joyson on the back of the head.
Jiang Yunu was carrying a large backpack that was half her height and a box, but she was still walking briskly without her shoulders slumping towards the side that was carrying the heavy object.
"This box is so light." Jiang Yunu said, "There's no need to use my brother for this kind of thing."
Joyson and Jodaith looked at the box that was over 28 inches long, and it was visibly stuffed full, making Jiang Yunu's words "how light it is" suddenly become extremely unbelievable.
"I don't believe it." Aunt Daisy said bluntly, "Give Joyson the box and try carrying it."
Joyson seemed to want to refuse, but he couldn't refuse his own mother, and he also had a hint of inappropriate curiosity.
"I'll try it if I want." said the red-haired boy.
Then he waited for Jiang Yunu to put the box down, stretched out his arms, grasped the handle and lifted it up with force.
No mention of movement.
"..." Joyson said, "Sister, tell me a joke, 'How light this box is'."
Jiang Yunu immediately changed her tone: "Auntie, look, since this box that is so light to me is so heavy to Qiao Yisen, then I should carry it myself and not squeeze him, right?"
Joyson: “…”
Jodie: "That's right."
Because he was not as strong as others, Joyson was exempted from the obligation of "being a brother should carry the suitcase for his sister". However, Joyson was not satisfied with the reason for his disqualification.
After Jiang Yunu got in the car, he patted the red-haired boy's thin arm and said, "It's okay, brother. You are still young. You can practice more in the future."
Joyson: "...Okay, okay, I'll practice hard at home when you go to school. I'll surprise you when you come back from vacation."
Jiang Yunu laughed and said, "Okay, it's a deal!"
When talking about Jiang Yunu going to school, the topic has to return to her test scores and the school's admission.
Two days after the summer vacation officially began, Teacher Mudisa sent a notice to Jiang Yunu, telling her that the first batch of file extraction from various high schools was about to begin.
After the scores were released, Jiang Yunu entered the recruitment system and filled in the information of his preferred school.
She filled in the names in the order of the schools she had selected: Diyao College in the first district, Golden Uriel College in the second district, and Michelle College in the third district.
Although there is a slight gap in educational resources and there is an obvious difference in the difficulty of admission between the front and back stars, Jiang Yunu feels that this unified voluntary recruitment system is quite good.
Even if you fill in the preferred school, it will not affect the schools outside the preferred category from retrieving and checking the candidate's file.
The preferred school only enjoys "priority admission," but it does not affect the candidate's chances of being admitted by other students. If multiple high-level schools review the same candidate's file and indicate a preference for admission, then the school selected by the candidate will be given priority admission, thereby snatching up the student pool.
If a candidate is not admitted by his/her preferred school until the end of the entire admission cycle, then other schools that have retrieved his/her file and extended an olive branch can successfully admit the student.
This is why Reiss Daniel said to Jiang Yunu before: "It is certain that you will go to a high school."
Jiang Yunu has taken the initiative to knock on the doors of three favorite schools. Teacher Mutisha informed her that the first batch of file review will begin soon. Now, all she has to do is wait and see if any of her favorite schools will open the door to her.
Then soon, the first phase of the advance schedule passed.
Among Diyao College, Golden Uriel College, and Michel College, 0 schools have viewed Jiang Yunu's candidate file.
