Superheroes – one of the hottest genres in recent years.
When it comes to this word, the first thing that comes to mind may be Superman, Iron Man, Batman... Of course, everyone also has a superhero in their hearts (people who are familiar with Xiaobian know that I prefer the purple potato essence with unlimited gloves).
As a die-hard Marvel fan, I have watched every movie more than several times, and slowly I have found that these superheroes are not only capable, responsible and responsible, they also have the background of famous American schools. Although the backgrounds of each character in the film are fictional backgrounds, if you look closely, you will find that these heroes are good at the most powerful areas of expertise in their "alma mater".
Below, let's take a look at it with Xiaobian
1 Iron Man - Tony Stark
Law School: Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Specializations: Double degrees in electrical engineering and physics and several doctorates
MIT: U.S. News ranked second overall in 2022; electronic engineering majors ranked first
MIT Motto: Mens et Manus (latin for Mind and Hand, "learn to use both the brain and the hands")

Tony graduated from the MIT Department of Electrical Engineering at the age of 17, and his clever mind led him to invent cross-era wearable armor in the dark underground base, and played a key role in the subsequent events of Marvel history.
In Captain America: Civil War, Tony returns to his alma mater to start the September Foundation, where all student programs are unconditionally approved and funded. Of course, although there is no such generous funding in real life, as a world-class university that rose to prominence during World War II by relying on the research and development needs of the United States defense science and technology, MIT has top scientific research equipment and sufficient scholarship support to welcome talents from all over the world to study.
The purpose of MIT mentioned in the movie coincides with the actions made by many Nobel Laureates cultivated by MIT in the real world to change the world - to change the world. As long as you have enough talent and the ideal of changing the world, this is undoubtedly one of the target colleges you deserve to strive for

Of course, there are also a group of seniors with MIT backgrounds in the Departure Mentor Team, although they do not have armor that can launch missiles, but if you want to apply for MIT, they may be people who can help you more than "Iron Man".
2 Hulk - Bruce Banner
Law School: Caltech
Major: Physics, etc. 7 doctoral degrees
Caltech: 2022 U.S. News overall ranked ninth; physics majors ranked third
The Truth Shall Make You Free

Banner has always been known as a doctor, but his real academic background was not revealed by himself until "Thor 3", and he has 7 doctorates. Of course, we can't know exactly what majors they are from, and from which schools they get from. But what we can know is that he has a background at Caltech and specializes in physics.
Of course, the reason why Dr. Banner, the top IQ person in the Marvel Universe, has a Caltech background is also because the school has such a real level: the famous physicists Albert Einstein, Hawking, and Gell-Mann, the famous astronomer Harley, the rocket expert von Carmen have all taught here; Intel founder Gordon Moore, and the Chinese missile expert Qian Xuesen are well-known alumni of the school.
Although there is no powerful Hulk in the team of departure instructors, there are senior students who are as smart as Dr. Banner, and if you have professional related questions, you can always ask them for advice. By the way, they are also very patient and responsible, and they are definitely better than the Hulk's temper.
3 X Professor - Charles Xavier
Law School: Harvard University, Columbia University,
Major: Doctorate degree in genetics, biophysics, psychology and so on
Harvard University: U.S. News ranked second overall in 2022; psychology majors ranked first
Harvard University Motto: Amicus Plato, Amicus Aristotle, Sed Magis Amicus VERITAS (translated as "Be friends with Plato, be friends with Aristotle, and be friends with truth")
Columbia University: U.S. News overall ranked second in 2022; psychology majors ranked fourth
In lumine Tuo videbimus lumen (translated as "To see the light of the light of the Ru")

Professor X is the central character in the X-Men series of movies, with telepathic and mind control abilities, so it should be relatively simple for him to get a doctorate in psychology.
Friends who have read the comics should also know that there is an organization in the Marvel world composed of the smartest people in the world - the Illuminati, which is composed of heroes such as Iron Man, Professor X, Doctor Strange, etc. The name of the Illuminati, Illuminati, and the school motto of Columbia University also have coincidences.
Back in the real world, Harvard University and Columbia University are also the world's top universities, psychology major rankings are also in the top few, if you want to study psychology, you may wish to use this as your own goal.
Write at the end
Of course, the superheroes in the movie are fictional after all, but although they are fictional, there are things worth learning, such as Captain America's "I can spend a whole day with you" spirit of struggle that is not afraid of losing, Iron Man's design philosophy and creativity. When we apply to the school, if we can show it to the admissions officer, we will also add points to the application.
