复旦开绿灯招400农村生 边远贫困区无需笔试面试

 Students in remote or impoverished¹ rural regions who are in their final grade in high school will no longer need to make the long journey to Shanghai for written tests and interviews to secure a place in prestigious² Fudan University.

为跻身复旦大学这所名校，农村边远贫困地区的高三学生将无需长途跋涉来到上海参加笔试、面试。

Instead, they need only submit materials online and take the college entrance exam, or gaokao, near home. If they score 50 points higher than the provincial³ minimum for a first-tier university, they may receive an offer from Fudan.

取而代之的是，他们仅需在线提交相关材料，之后在家附近参加高考就可以了。如果成绩达到所在省第一批本科录取控制分数线上50分，那么就有机会被复旦录取。

"We are endeavoring to lighten students' economic burdens and help them fulfill⁴ their dreams of enjoying the country's highest quality educational resources at low cost," said Ding Guanghong, assistant to the president of Fudan.

复旦大学的校长助理丁光宏说：“我们正在努力减轻学生的经济负担，帮助他们实现以低成本享受全国最优质的教育资源的梦想。”
