A straight-A student from Taichung who got a stunning 74 out of 75 in the university entrance exam was rejected from five med schools earlier this year. It turns out, the problem was not with his exam scores, but with his other application documents. One of the documents claimed that he had won "Best Debater" at a competition, but that wasn’t the case. After the brutal rejection, he decided to apply once again through a different channel that only takes exam scores into consideration. Well, he got accepted at National Cheng Kung University’s med school and is now sharing his experience.

It’s true that I did something wrong. If I had a choice, I would write the title of the certificate properly, that way there wouldn’t be such a problem.
This high school student got an excellent score of 74 out of 75 for the first round of university entrance exams this year. But five med schools withdrew their acceptance due to an issue with his other application documents.

It was one withdrawal after another from each school. By then I knew that it’s over, that it was probably over for me. The first thought I had was to retake the exam, which was only 35 days away. The first and second round of exams differ by about 16 textbooks’ worth of contents. My mom said to me back then, “You’ve already taken the exam once, how difficult will it be to do it again?” So I was back at it already, right from the start.
He decided right there and then to focus on the second round of exams, which only takes into account the scores of the exam for acceptance. He then used his experience to encourage other highschoolers to have confidence in their own abilities. He also explained his motivation for sharing his application document online in the first place.
Yang
Student
It’s very difficult to find any med school application document from successful applicants over the years. Instead, you only get flyers from cram schools. So by posting the documents, I thought I’d be able to help more younger peers. The documents have their own intrinsic value.
The student seemed to have shrugged off the setback, because in the end, he still got into his dream school, and more.
Yang
Student
The withdrawals roughly coincided with the graduation ceremony. I asked my now-girlfriend to be in a relationship with me on the day of the graduation ceremony. So the day we got together made it easy to see how many days have passed between the two events, which was 35 days. I think it’s just that the universe wanted to challenge me to really learn my high school studies, so it put me back into the second round of exams. So I thought, fine, so be it, I’ll retake the exams.
Now that a medical school has to accept him anyway based on his exam score, Yang appears to believe that he has the last laugh—at least for now.

“我確實做錯了事情,那要我選的話,我會從一開始,把那個獎狀名稱打好,就不會出現這個問題了”
來自台中的楊同學,今年考出學測74級分,卻因為備審資料,誤植最佳辯士頭銜,被五間醫學系取消錄取資格。
[[楊同學]]
“每一間輪流取消取消取消,我就知道差不多,我覺得我大概完蛋了,我當下第一個想法是準備重考,因為只剩35天,學測跟分科的差距,就是16本書的量,我媽那個時候講了一句話,就是你做過的事情,再叫你做一次會很難嗎,所以我那個時候,心態就調適回來了”
楊同學專心投入分科,最終成功錄取成大醫學系,鼓勵學弟妹不要小看自己的能力,他也解釋當初,為何會分享備審資料到網路上。
[[楊同學]]
“你要去找到一份歷年申請過醫學系的資料,是一件很困難的事情,你只會收到補習班的廣告,這一份資料,我當下想的就是,我能夠幫助到越多學弟妹越好,因為我覺得這一份資料,應該是有它的價值存在的”
回首來時路,楊同學展現成熟心態,笑著分享這段考驗,沒想到還有甜蜜收穫。
[[楊同學]]
“取消跟畢業典禮差不多的時間,我畢業典禮那天跟我女朋友告白,然後我就去算,我告白那天跟她在一起,然後考分科那天是第幾天,喔,第35天,那就是35天。其實覺得就是上天給我一次考驗,就是把高中的東西好好讀完,所以把我丟回去考分科,我就好沒關係,我就硬著頭皮考完吧”
逆襲考回醫學系,同時收穫學業與愛情,揮別風波也邁向新人生。
