The seven-time world champion is expected to become a
freshman3 in autumn.
The world's youngest Go champion is one of 948 high-performers in sport to be admitted to 85 universities across China without the need to take the gaokao, China's college entrance exams. They were offered the gaokao
exemption4 in recognition of their achievements in sports, according to a notice released by the
Ministry5 of Education on Monday.

enrollment6 exam organized by Tsinghua University in April.
After battling the best in artificial intelligence in competition, the 21-year-old has
decided7 to skip IT and study business management instead.
