A delighted student who got into one of America’s best universities posted his admissions letter on Weibo, and this is the part that caught people’s attention:

“The counselors recommended that you be admitted in part after reading about your enthusiasm for Ramen noodles. The committee and I are confident you will both stand out and grow stronger as part of the Rochester family.”

The admissions letter was sent to Fuzhou student Wang from Rochester University, ranked number 32 in the whole of North America.

The student explained that eating instant noodles was his all time favorite hobby. It began with a fateful trip to Singapore when he tried their instant noodles and was completely blown away by how delicious they were.

From then on his enthusiasm for instant noodles only grew, and he wanted to try any instant noodles he could get his hands on. He has tried almost every brand from every region in Asia.

When applying to study abroad he noticed the ‘Hobbies and Interests’ section of the application form so naturally he wrote about his number one passion. He never expected the admissions board to pay attention to it, let alone consider it as a deciding factor in his application.
