[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t believe Maddox is going to college. I wonder how he will fare in a South Korean college studying biochemistry. Did his unorthodox schooling really prepare him for this?[/quote]

I would think so.  Korea does pretty close to pure merit based admissions.  Interesting that Maddox is presumably fluent in Korean. [/quote]

It's hard to imagine that he actually out-scored Korean kids (who are famously test-prepped starting in K) on the admissions test, or that he is fluent in Korean. He's almost certainly attending their international program, which looks to be designed as a cash-cow for international students:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwood_International_College

Yes, that's right, he's attending Underwood College. It's a small liberal arts college with an English-language curriculum and does not emphasize standardized scores in admissions (which basically consists of two short essays, two recs, and an interview). With the instability in their home life and unconventional schooling, I'm not sure I would have guessed any of those kids would go to college. So good for him, I hope he makes the adjustment well![/quote]

Says here he's studying biotechnology and life science.   Despite the "instability" in their home, I would bet he's received one of the best educations money can buy.[/quote]

Sure.
I’ll eat my phone if that kid graduates in 4 years with a legit biotech degree.[/quote]
