Who is the most outstanding university in China?This is a question that may lead many people to answer that there is no other choice but Peking University and Tsinghua University. However, if you ask about the best classes in Chinese universities, relatively few people may be able to answer. Industry professionals generally cite three alternatives: the Turing class at Peking University, the Yao class at Tsinghua University, and the Qiushi science class at Zhejiang University. These three classes have gathered outstanding young talents from all over the country, and even with an annual salary of up to 2 million, they may not be able to succeed"Digging"to the talent of it. However, if it is the most superior, the author believes that among the three, the "Tsinghua Yao Class" is more outstanding!
Founded in 2005 by Academician Yao Chizhi, a world-renowned computer scientist, Yao Ban is known as "Tsinghua Academy Computer Science Experimental Class". In China's university circles, there is a widely circulated proverb: "Talents from half countries gather in Tsinghua University, and Tsinghua University and half English are in Yao's class." Yao Ban has a strong faculty, not only academician of the National Academy of Sciences, academician of the Chinese National Academy of Sciences, the only Chinese scholar of the Turing Award, and the founder of Yao Ban, Academician Yao Qizhi, but also Professor Chu Feng, who has taught at the University of Illinois, Brown University and Stanford University, and Professor Duan Luming, winner of the Sloan Research Award and winner of the Outstanding Young Research Award of the Overseas Chinese Physical Society.
Students in Yao class enjoy a number of unique benefits, including the "1+1 tutor responsibility system", which allows them to receive full care and academic guidance from a dedicated responsible tutor after enrollment. Juniors also have the opportunity to participate in a semester of overseas exchange Xi and expand their horizons at world-class universities. For the outstanding students in their fourth year, they can be recommended and have the opportunity to conduct research practice in world-class universities such as Harvard, Princeton, and MIT. These rich welfare policies, combined with the strong teaching force, have enabled Yao Class to cultivate batches of outstanding young talents.
In 2018, 37 of the 50 students enrolled in the Yao class were guaranteed admissions, almost all of whom were national Mathematics Olympiad team players, winning gold and silver medals in national and international competitions. Among them, 5 are science champions from Shaanxi, Liaoning, Jilin, Hunan and Guizhou provinces. In 2019, the enrollment of Yao's class was also noteworthy, with 24 Olympiad gold medalists and 5 science champions from different provinces and cities. With so many outstanding talents gathered in Yao's class and receiving guidance from world-class scholars, people can't help but wonder where these top students will go after graduation
The official data reveals the answer, and also makes people understand why even if the annual salary is 2 million, it is difficult to attract Yao class graduates!After counting the 340 graduates of the first to the 11th Yao class, it was found that 96 students chose to continue their studies at Tsinghua University, and another 1 student chose Guanghua University of Peking University. In addition, 202 students chose to go abroad, among which the United States became the preferred destination for almost everyone, while top American universities such as MIT, Stanford University, Yale University, and Columbia University became the most popular choice.
Wu Jiajun, who is known as the "God of Tsinghua Studies", is one of them. During his time in Yao's class, he won the first place in the credit performance of the whole grade for three consecutive years, and was unanimously awarded the special scholarship for undergraduate students of Tsinghua University. After graduating with an undergraduate degree, he chose to pursue a Ph.D. at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and recently announced that he would join Stanford University as an assistant professor of computer science in 2020Chen Lijie has won the best student ** award at the top computer conference FOCS and ACM Computing Theory Annual Conference (STOC), received the Tsinghua admission letter in the first year of high school, was invited to Google for Xi in the third year of high school, and also won the Tsinghua special scholarship during the Yao class, and is now studying for a doctorate at the Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyIn addition, the first graduate of Yao's class and Sloan Prize winner, Rong Rong, chose to go to Princeton University after graduating from Tsinghua University with perfect scores in 17 subjects and the highest GPA in the history of the Department of Computer Science, and is currently working as an assistant professor at Duke University in the United States.
Most of the top students in China's most outstanding classes choose to study or work abroad after graduation. Some may think that these students seem to have forgotten the grace of their homeland, which has invested a lot of resources in nurturing them, but in reality this is not the case. In recent years, the country has made remarkable progress, but there is still a big gap between China and the world, especially the United States and other superpowers, in the field of scientific research in general, especially in cutting-edge science and technology. The outstanding students who choose to study and work abroad are actually a meaningful learning and Xi experience. I believe that in the future, these students will, like their mentor, Academician Yao Chizhi, choose to return to China after learning and become a strong supporting force for the development of the motherland.
What do you think about where Yao graduates choose to go?
