The golden school name of Manhattan International Middle School is clear and eye-catching, engraved in the most conspicuous position at the door.

There are many New York schools, so that except for the top small group of public and private schools, most other middle schools need to worry about their students. For example, the students who are not in the ordinary schools like Ye Dongqing attended are mostly people of color, with the most Chinese, followed by blacks, and white students are rare.

Racial differences in the United States are serious, and children can be exposed to them from birth. The number of black or Chinese in a community has increased. Most white families are unwilling to come here and will slowly move away, causing the loss of white residents.

The same incident also happened in schools. Parents used the proportion of white students as one of the criteria for measuring whether a school was high-end. Schools like Manhattan International High School only accounted for 6% of white students, while those with as many as 37% of black students were easily labeled as "trash school".

In order to prevent being disturbed by people of color, white people also defaulted to a set of unspoken rules, which would raise housing prices and tuition fees so high that the generally poorer people of color could not afford to spend money, so that they could avoid contact with them.

In this way, real estate developers and various institutions make money, and consumers get the satisfaction brought by "high-end", which is a win-win situation.

Whether high school is good or not is not important to Ye Dongqing.

In the future, people will only care about higher education and whether someone is rich and capable. Who cares about where to go to high school? Once they succeed, the birth of poverty will become a self-made evidence of full ability. This is the reality of society.

Enter campus with other students.

I have been away from this school for so long, but I am back today. Ye Dongqing finds it interesting as a 12th grade student.

He has not been exposed to the knowledge in textbooks for more than ten years. As time goes by, he still has some impressions, but not profound. He seizes the time to review for a while, and it should be no big problem to get a high score through the SAT and ACT test. For him, the Ivy League School is not far away, and his mind is much easier to use than ordinary people.

In my memory, if I hadn't had money to go to college and had not received the full scholarship because of the racial quota system of colleges and universities, I would have been able to go to college two or three years ago. Ye Dongqing had already finished these courses, and was struggling to find out the way without parents' care. He helped to point out the way. After a while, he still went to high school.

ACT and SAT are both a type of college entrance examination in the United States and are also an important criterion for evaluating scholarships. If you take the exam together, the scope of choosing a school can be larger. If you both get good scores, you will be more likely to be admitted.

In fact, he had taken the exam twice before, and he was nervous as soon as he took the exam. He wanted to go to the toilet. His grades were not very good. It was enough to go to a general prestigious school. He wanted to enter the top 10 universities in the world, but he was a little worse, so he planned to take the exam again this time.

The "Employment Race Quota System" refers to a system that American prestigious universities such as Yale, Harvard, and Columbia are all implementing. It does not depend on the students' grades, but instead divides the admission quotas based on their skin color.

This makes it impossible for many Asian students with excellent grades to be admitted. On the contrary, black and Mexican students with poor grades can easily enter top universities through the divided quotas. White students also benefit from this, and they always get the most admission quotas, and the spirit of "white supremacy" is reflected in all aspects of society.

It was written in the newspaper that a Chinese student graduated from the University of Chicago and had a score of 3.1 and a MCAT score of 31. He was repeatedly rejected when applying for medical school as an Asian, and no one was interested in it.

With the idea of ​​a prank, he shaved his head and joined the black student union, called himself black in the application materials, and did not hide his wealthy family, and wrote that he did not have any scholarships during his studies at the University of Chicago.

I wrote other materials randomly, saying that my mother was a doctor and my father was an architect. Usually these factors reduce the chances of whites and Asians entering prestigious schools. These professions lack social influence and are very ordinary.

As a result, the guy who dressed as a black man was given an interview opportunity at eleven famous American universities including Harvard University and Columbia University, and finally got his wish and entered a famous medical school at his own expense. It was ironic, it was said that it was equal rights, but the result was even greater injustice.

Ye Dongqing later realized that his orphan identity also became a reason for top prestigious schools to exclude him. If there was a parent who was a judge or a lawyer, the result would probably be different.

This place in the United States has never been a paradise. Ye Dongqing, who is currently ineffective and powerless, is even more terrifyingly dark. Rich people can easily send their children to school by donating money to donate buildings, and he...even if his grades are better, he will be ruthlessly squeezed out.

The rules are like this and I have already passed the age of resentment.

Going to a prestigious university is considered an obsession and a stepping stone for him to pave the way for the future. The hope of success in this life will be much greater. Ye Dongqing does not intend to play according to common sense.

When I was in my first class, I was thinking about how to package myself and what a famous school liked. Suddenly, I thought that it would be better if I got the recommendation letter from current New York Mayor, Mr. Michael Bloomberg.

As long as the grades are good enough, Johns Hopskin and Harvard will admit themselves. They are Mayor Bloomberg's alma mater, and Columbia University is located in Manhattan, which will also give the mayor a face.

There are only two important things in front of you: going to school and making money, the latter is more important.

Then, I had to take time to find someone. I didn't help her much before. It was still time to calculate the time and this era was still there, and Ye Dongqing was happy about it.

...

A smart mind has the benefits of being smart. After spending a few classes, Ye Dongqing recalled most of the questions in the test paper.

He signed up for the SAT test to be held on the last Saturday of October. It was the 26th and the 25th, and there were the ACT tests, some of which were remembered, some of which were not.

If nothing unexpected happens, the exam papers should still be the same, and it will be easier to review.

Smoking, drinking, fatigue, and heads at the age of thirty are not as useful as the age of 18. My memory is still at its peak. Ye Dongqing will remember all the knowledge in the book after reading it once. He should be able to review all the writing questions before the end of the month. He still needs to practice a few articles in advance.

Once you get a good grade, you will ask Teacher Nash for help. You will probably be sure to enter a prestigious school. In the teacher's boring voice, he sat next to the classroom reviewing the textbook, opening his mouth to doze.

When he heard the raucous sound, he turned his head downstairs and looked downstairs. Ye Dongqing's face was reflected on the window on the second floor. When he saw a familiar girl, he was surprised for a moment and smiled knowingly.
