How good is the school

The University of New York, Abu Dhabi, is hailed by netizens as a "God like school". Let's see how good it is?

The admission rate is much lower than that of Harvard

It is a branch of New York University established in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, in 2007. It was prepared by the crown prince of the United Arab Emirates. In September 2010, the school enrolled the first batch of students. In that year, 9048 students applied and 150 students were finally admitted, accounting for only 1.65%. The same proportion was maintained for the next two years. In 2012, the number of applicants of the University reached 15489, and the success rate of application is only 0.97% based on the planned enrollment of 150. The admission rate of Harvard University and Columbia University is about 7% and 9%, respectively. As a result, the university is regarded as one of the most difficult universities in the world.

Study abroad every semester

Of the eight semesters of the University's four years, two semesters can be studied in the school district of the University in other countries. These cities include: New York, Washington, D.C., Accra, Ghana, Berlin, Argentina, Buenos Aires, Florence, Italy, London, Madrid, France, Paris, Prague, China, Shanghai, Sydney, Australia and Tel Aviv, Israel.

Every semester, the students here will have a regional academic journey, that is, to go to other countries with teachers and students to study the culture and history of the world. During the 2013-2014 academic year, the destinations of the regional trip include: UAE, Cyprus, Ethiopia, India, Morocco, Nepal, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Sri Lanka, Turkey and Zambia.

Although it is a branch school, it shares all the resources with New York University. All teachers have doctorates, of which 1 / 3 are from the high-quality faculty team of NYU, 1 / 3 are self recruited, and 1 / 3 are visiting professors from world-famous universities, and these teachers must be 'trained' at NYU for one year before taking up their posts.

School scholarships cover every student

All costs of the school are from the UAE government, with strong financial support to ensure that every student admitted will not drop out of school due to cost problems. The scholarship includes four years of tuition, food, accommodation, extra-curricular activities, medical insurance, pocket money, two air tickets to and from Abu Dhabi every year.

In other words, during the four years, he Qixiao does not have to pay a penny for his study in school.

Some people say that studying there is equivalent to: Chinese background + four years of experience in the Middle East + American higher education + degree of world-class university + fluent Chinese + fluent English + friends from all over the world + global alumni network.

He Qixiao said that he would firmly choose Abu Dhabi even after receiving the admission notice from other schools he applied for. Of course, this includes the Harvard University he applied for.

Why he was admitted

I've always been at the top of the list, especially in Mathematics

He Qixiao is a student of class 1, grade 2016 in Chongqing foreign language school. Since entering primary school at the age of six-and-a-half, the academic performance has been ranked in the top five of the grade. Xiaoshengchu won 35000 yuan scholarship and was sent to Chongqing Foreign Language School for study. Senior high school continued to send him to Chongqing Foreign Language School for free of all tuition and miscellaneous fees, and the school provided him with 5000 yuan scholarship every year.

Yang Xian, my mother, said proudly: 'strictly speaking, since high school, we haven't spent any more money on Qi Xiao's studies. '

He Qixiao, who is 1.82 meters tall, is thin and tall, wearing black frame glasses. He speaks a little fast. In the fifth grade of primary school, he had a great interest in mathematics.

"Once, when the teacher asked questions in class, everyone gave the same answer in unison, only I gave a different answer. "He Qixiao said that the teacher didn't suppress his enthusiasm and let him show his ideas on solving problems on the stage," which gave me great encouragement. '

Since then, he Qixiao's love for mathematics has been irremediable. In addition to brushing questions, he will look for various theoretical books related to mathematics, biographies of mathematicians, and even all kinds of mathematics books alone. At school, he set up a math sharing meeting; at home, he often competed with his father, who graduated from Polytechnic University, to solve math problems.

Every mathematical formula, he not only remembers, but also through his own thinking to find out why it is established.

In the first year of senior high school, he Qixiao developed a calculation method by himself, which can calculate the surface area of the sphere. In his application to the University of New York, Abu Dhabi, he put his love for mathematics at the forefront.
