'Students with dissertation experience are preferred, those with research experience as well, then it is to read the letters of recommendation, read the student's self-evaluation ...... social practice ability and sports awards are rather secondary' - Orion has his own judgement criteria.
In the end, after careful consideration, he was left with 10 CVs, all of which were of good quality in every respect.
In particular, he was most pleased with Vera from Berkeley.
The importance of an IMO gold medal, placed in any university is a talent worthy of focusing on cultivation. And the one-sided relationship at Berkeley also made him have a good feeling about this studious little girl.
Orion was surprised that she had already graduated at such a young age. Even considering the situation of early graduation, completing an undergraduate degree at this age was not an easy thing to do.
Could it be another Terence Tao type genius?
Interestingly enough, among her three letters of recommendation, there happened to be Professor Tao, who teaches at the University of California.
Anyway, Orion kept this CV.
Because it is the first batch of enrolment, Orion intends to recruit three students, and then consider recruiting one or none in each following semester, depending on the situation. Everyone in the lab was progressing at different speeds, and it was a trouble for him as well.
One of the positions had already been given to Vera, who IMO had a gold medal and a solo published paper, so the remaining two would have to be chosen out of nine CVs.
......
Time flies.
In late June, the results finally came out.
The family gathered around the computer, accompanied by Trista face apprehensive. This feeling was almost like a World Cup betting draw.
Seeing the scores, Orion nodded with satisfaction, sincerely happy for his sister.
"Have you thought about what major to apply for?"
Trista seriously considered this question and spoke.
"YES!"
Orion "Oh?"
Trista nodded her head and said with a firm face, "I'm going to apply for finance!"
Although finance required a certain amount of mathematical foundation, but without going in the direction of theoretical studies, the things to be counted were definitely not as much as memorised.
The most valuable thing is that Trista finally has her own ideas, instead of asking for help whenever she encounters a problem.
This was also the most gratifying thing to him.
Orion nodded approvingly, " Yes, can you tell us why finance?"
Eyes sparkling, Trista said without hesitation, "The name finance, it sounds like it's a lot of money!"
Orion: "......"
What to say. Except for the fact that they don't look much alike. The rest of it is just too similar!
......
Staying until July, Orion's holiday was almost at an end.
Although he wanted to wait until the acceptance letter from trista before leaving, there were still things he needed to go back to take care of, so he didn't stay any longer.
