It is not possible to go directly to university
The Talent Program is an academic talent training program for middle school students across the country launched by the Ministry of Education of China, which aims to select middle school students with academic potential and innovative spirit to improve their academic level and innovation ability by participating in academic research and practical activities organized by universities. So, is it possible to go directly to college under the Fellowship Program?
First of all, let's be clear that the Fellowship Program is not a direct pathway to university. The main purpose of the Fellowship Program is to provide secondary school students with academic research and practical opportunities to help them improve their academic standards and innovation capabilities, and lay the foundation for future academic research and career development. While middle school students who participate in the Fellowship Program perform well in the selection process, they still need to go through the normal college admissions process to apply to the university.
Secondly, participating in the Talent Program can add certain advantages to the college application of secondary school students. When it comes to college admissions, admissions officers will give some attention and recognition to students who have experience in the Talent Program. Because the Fellowship Program is an academic research and practical activity organized by universities, secondary school students who participate in the Fellowship Program can obtain richer and more in-depth academic experience and research results, which are strong supporting materials for them when applying to universities.
Finally, it is unrealistic to want to go straight to college through the Fellowship Program. While the Fellowship Program can add an edge to secondary school students' college applications, it is not a substitute for the normal college admissions process. If middle school students want to enter the ideal university, they also need to study hard in their daily studies, achieve excellent grades and performance, and also participate in various competitions and activities to enrich their resume and experience.
To sum up, the Gifted and Talented Program cannot go directly to college, but it can add an advantage to the college application of secondary school students. Secondary school students who want to get into their dream university also need to apply through the normal college admissions process.
