Chapter 237
“Yes, we are, Miss Sinclair. We’ve learned about your college entrance exam results, and with your results, it wouldn’t stress you out to apply to our university. We’ve got the best majors for you to choose from. As long as you apply to our university, we’ll waive your tuition fees, give you a living allowance, and award you scholarships every semester.”
Upon hearing this, Elise had it roughly figured out. She had heard earlier that before the results of the college entrance exam came out, the officers from the top universities in the country would visit the top scorers in various subjects at home to get them to enroll at their universities. She had thought it was an exaggeration, and it wasn’t until now that she realized this was all true. “Mayweather University also called me just now.”
“What? Did you accept Mayweather University’s offer? No way! Our university is ranked as the top university in the country. Besides, you’re a lady and a liberal arts student, while Mayweather University’s popular majors are suitable for science students and thus not suitable for you at all. Tissote University is definitely the better choice for you.”
Elise replied, “Well, let me think about it.”
“Sure! Please make sure to apply to our university! You deserve to be a student of
Tissote University.”
Elise was rendered speechless by the caller’s remark.
That morning, Elise received phone calls from the top three universities in the country. Mayweather University and Tissote University’s student recruitment officers even came to her to persuade her to enroll at their university.
For a moment, the Griffith Residence became especially lively. Elise had been wanting to know her actual results after talking to the student recruitment officers, However, they were too tight-lipped and wouldn’t tell her her exam results unless they got a definite reply from her. Because of that, she was quite upset.
Mayweather University’s student recruitment officers looked at Elise hopefully. “Have you made up your mind, Miss Sinclair? Are you gonna enroll in our university?”
A hint of shrewdness flickered across Elise’s eyes as she faced the many pairs of eyes before her. “Well, everyone, I think it’s still too early to enroll in any university right now. It won’t be too late for me to decide which university to enroll in after looking at my results.”
Upon hearing her reply, the student recruitment officers from Tissote University got impatient at once. “Why do you need to look at your exam results? Your results are terrific-you scored full marks in a number of subjects!”
Elise’s heart thumped unstoppably at the officers’ words. What? I scored full marks in a number of subjects? “Really?”
At the sight of Elise’s expectant eyes, the student recruitment officers from Tissote University could hardly restrain themselves. “Never mind, I’ll tell you your results. You’ll learn about it sooner or later, anyway.”
On the other hand, the student recruitment officers from Mayweather University were displeased. “Hey, that’s not playing by the rules! Didn’t we agree not to tell her her results in advance?”
The student recruitment officers from Tissote University replied, “We at Tissote University sincerely welcome Miss Sinclair to our university. Still, if she’s made a better choice, we’ll naturally respect her decision.” As they spoke, they took out a result slip and handed it to Elise. “Please prepare yourself first, Miss Sinclair.”
Elise was startled for a moment before she took the result slip. When she saw her results, her eyes instantly shone with surprise. The result slip read, ‘English: 148 marks. Mathematics: 150 marks. Chinese: 150 marks, Comprehensive liberal arts: 265 marks. Total: 713 marks.’
“As far as we know, Miss Sinclair, you scored the highest among all the liberal arts students in Athesea. So, would you like to study at our university?”
Elise’s hands trembled slightly. She looked up at the student recruitment officers from Tissote University with a smile, saying, “Well, I was planning to study at Tissote University in the first place.”
Upon hearing her reply, the student recruitment officers from Mayweather University knew that there was no way they could get Elise to enroll in their university anymore. Still, unwilling to give up, they asked, “Miss Sinclair, aren’t you gonna consider studying at our university?”
Elise replied apologetically, “Well, I’m a liberal arts student, after all. Mayweather University’s majors are mainly in the sciences, so they’re probably not suitable for me.”
“Are you really not gonna reconsider your decision? We’ve got some pretty nice liberal arts major programs.”
“I’m sorry about that.”
“It’s okay! We respect your decision,” replied the student recruitment officers from Mayweather University. With that, they left the Griffith Residence.
After they left, the student recruitment officers from Tissote University immediately said, “Miss Sinclair, this officer here can help recommend majors for you. Please take some time to look at these materials for you to choose your major.”
“Okay. Thanks a lot!”
Jack gave it some serious thought. Well, with Danny‘s usual exam results, it‘s good enough if he could get into a third–rate university. Therefore, he asked, “You scored high enough to get into a third-rate university, huh?”
