回複 'Justness' 的評論 : There was nothing wrong in the statement from your link here: "The family moved to Southern California in search of better employment opportunities, and Wen switched schools frequently as they moved from one troubled neighborhood to another. She says she was an unremarkable student, but in eighth grade she learned about a work-study program at California State University, Los Angeles, where she could learn laboratory techniques and get paid for going to school. “We really needed money for our family. My parents were working. I thought, ‘Why not contribute my share?’ ” she said.
She applied for the program, took a placement test, and was accepted, starting college without having attended high school.
“I look back now, and I’m astounded by the number of things that had to go the right way” when she was growing up, Wen said. We spoke in her window-lined office in the brick building in East Baltimore that houses the city health department. “There were so many times that I could have gone down the wrong ramp. We struggled with food insecurity, not knowing about jobs. I had all these dreams, but I had no idea how to achieve them. I didn’t know anyone who was a doctor.” In the impoverished neighborhoods where her family lived, she never had the opportunity to meet anyone who had attended college. She graduated from Cal State L.A. summa cum laude at 18.
Wen had her pick of full scholarships to medical and doctoral programs and chose the medical school of Washington University in St. Louis. "
She graduated from college at 18 and then started her medical school at WashU at the age of 18.
回複 'Justness' 的評論 : Please read here from my article: "別以為隻有中國才有少年大學生,Leana在美國就是隻有13歲即去讀大學的,發現RNA幹擾和TLR而獲諾貝爾獎的兩位科學家也是在這個年齡段去讀的大學本科。Leana大概八歲隨父母從上海移民美國,在加州洛杉磯的貧困區長大。她最近接受采訪時說自己母親在2010年患乳腺癌去世,沒有等到她結婚,她也經常以母親看病的例子談美國的醫療體製改革。或許因為年齡太小,父母不忍心她遠走高飛;也有可能是經濟上的原因,她隻能去當地的CSU (加州州立大學)的洛杉磯分校讀書。她父親為當地中文報紙的IT管理人員,媽媽為小學老師。報道中說她13歲就成為CSU的學生,當然美國人不到14歲的生日都說13歲,也就是說,她來美國僅5年就在如此年齡去讀大學了。CSU為加州的另一套公立大學係統,聲譽遠在我們熟悉的UC(加州大學)係統之下。但是Leana是以最高榮譽從CSU畢業的,再次說明美國各階段的人生都有重新洗牌的可能。
