一個月前,我看到批踢踢留學版上有人讀完《翻轉過動人生:從中輟生,到哈佛博士的重生之旅》之後上來發問說:
覺得很奇怪的點在於,印象中哈佛申請不是要求gpa要極高、研究超多、 大咖推薦信、財力證明 ..等等要件缺一不可嗎
為什麼這本書的主人翁各項條件都沒有,卻能申請到哈佛博班呢?
還是他採用的不是正常入學管道?
我覺得挺有趣的,就順手 PO 了 Quora。
──然後,當然,作者本人就來回答了。
Quora is amazing.
One month ago, in a Taiwan on-line forum (studyabroad@ptt.cc), I saw a student asked "How did Todd Rose get in Harvard PhD?" after reading his book (Chinese Edition of "Square Peg"). I thought it was an interesting question (well, a little bit rude though). So I translated the question to English and posted it on Quora.
-- And, of course, Todd Rose came to answer it himself.
