‘Gifted’ China cat killer rejected by top university despite getting top marks in nuclear science entrance exam
- Videos expose student, tramples on cats’ heads, injures others in dormitory
- University guidelines say applicants need ‘moral and political’ qualifications
A educationally gifted man has been rejected by a prestigious mainland university because of his history of extreme cruelty to cats.
The man, surnamed Xu, achieved the highest scores in the entrance test to become a nuclear physics major at the School of Physics at Nanjing University in the eastern province of Jiangsu.
Admission test results released by the school at the end of March revealed that he had not passed the second test, according to a report in the Xiaoxiang Morning Herald.
The School of Physics did not explain why Xu failed, but an official said they had received many complaints about him abusing cats.
According to the university’s admissions guidelines, applicants’ “moral and political qualifications” are taken into consideration and it may not grant admission to those who fail to fulfil that criteria.
