Chapter 32: The Enviable Conditions of the Admission Offices of Famous Universities
As the four publishers who he had met at the Beijing Book Fair had said, China’s five famous universities, Tsinghua University, Peking University, Fudan University, Tongji University, and Jiaotong University already had their Deputy Directors of their admission offices embark a flight to Yun Ding High School.
They had personally gone to Jingcheng, where Yun Ding High School was located, to conduct a self-admission briefing.
The unified college entrance examination was a way for universities to evaluate new students based on their scores.
As for the independent recruitment of students, it was the right to choose the school and hand it over to a small number of high school students who had outstanding results. They had enough initiative to decide which school to apply to. After passing, they would be able to receive special preferential treatment from the corresponding school.
So simply put, the purpose of the current school recruitment office was very pure.
It was to come to Yun Ding High School and seize the best students!
At the school gate, Xu Zhiyu, as Principal Fang Yuan’s assistant, represented Yun Ding High School to welcome the representatives of the universities from all over the world.
He led everyone into the school.
The statue of Confucius, which was a hundred meters tall, was watching them from the distance.
It made everyone feel respect.
Zhang Qinghua, the Deputy Director of the enrollment office of Tsinghua University, looked around at the white walls and green tiles and suddenly felt refreshed, he nodded and said, “As expected of Yun Ding High School. This campus environment is very beautiful. It doesn’t lose out to the elegance of Tsinghua’s Garden. It seems that this is a good place for learning.”
Wang Beida, the Deputy Director of Peking University’s admissions office, looked at the clear lake next to the dormitory building and the dense forest.
Not only did he take a deep breath of fresh air, but it was also as if he had come to a natural oxygen bar. “Everyone knows about the Weiming Lake and Boya Pagoda on Peking University’s campus, but after seeing the scenery of Yun Ding High School today, only then did they know that there are people way beyond the average person.”
Fudan University’s Deputy Director of the admissions office, Li Zhendan, said, “Hahaha, what a great title. The name of our school comes from the ancient Chinese classic book, Shang Shu.As the saying goes, the Qing dynasty is messy and messy, and the sun and moon shine brightly, but Fudan is messy.I think the words ‘Yun Ding” in Yun Ding High School really embodies its meaning of ‘beyond the heavens’.”
“Principal Fang Yuan gave it a good name, a very good name.”
Chen Jiaotong, Deputy Director of the Admissions Office of Jiaotong University, said, “The campus environment of Yun Ding High School is naturally impeccable. It has long been shared on the internet. However, what I admire and admire more is the strength of the school’s teachers. From the commencement speech of Francis Bacon, Director of Education, to the teaching of Bohr, Einstein, Marie Curie, and other professors in the mathematical and Chemical Olympiad. Then there were the creative writing teachers at the muse literature school, such as Shakespeare, Fitzgerald, and others, who guided the students in their writing. It is both high-level and down-to-earth. This is extremely rare!”
The Deputy Director of the Tongji University’s admissions office, Yu Tongji, said, “That’s right. There’s a saying. If you want to give a cup of water to a student, you must first have a pot of water. According to Yun Ding High School’s faculty, the teachers have more than just a pot of water. It’s an ocean! The key is that the students are willing to work hard. The teachers are willing to teach, and the students are also willing to learn. This is the true meaning of education.”
Logically speaking, the Deputy Director of the Student Recruitment Office of the five schools could be considered as someone who had seen the world.
However, on the campus of Yun Ding High School, he could not help but click his tongue in wonder.
After walking past the student Special Interest Clubs, everyone praised the variety of club activities.
Then, they came to the main academic building.
Today’s auditorium had been booked in advance and handed over to the admissions office of each school to conduct the self-admission briefing.
The so-called “Briefing”.
It meant that each Deputy Director of the admissions office would go on stage to explain their school’s preferential policies and welcome everyone to apply for the exam.
The first to go on stage was the Deputy Director of the Admissions Office of Tsinghua University.
As one of the top universities in the country in terms of overall strength, Zhang Qinghua stood on stage and said in a clear voice,
“Good morning, students of Yun Ding High School. Before I came to Yun Ding High School, I had already learned about your excellence through various channels, but it’s better to see it once than to hear it once. “Today, I know that you are more outstanding than I thought. Therefore, I welcome all students of Yun Ding High School, especially students from math, physics, and chemistry clubs, to apply for Tsinghua University through independent enrollment and contribute to the cause of human science
“Students who successfully apply, I hereby promise that tuition and miscellaneous fees for four years of university life will be waived!”
Next was the Deputy Director of Peking University’s admissions office.
As the school next to Tsinghua University, Peking University was famous for its specialty in literature, history, and philosophy.
Wang Peking was also a somewhat famous writer in Beijing.
He saw the performance of the students of Yun Ding High School in the New Concept Cup Essay Competition.
Especially the essay “Peeping Through the Cup,”. He thought it was simply amazing. It felt as if the philosophers were still alive.
“All students from the museum literature lecture hall, including other students from Yun Ding High School, are welcome to apply to Peking University.”
“My preferential treatment is that, in addition to four years of tuition and miscellaneous fees being completely free, the accommodation fee is also completely free.”
One had to know that in university life, especially in the capital, Beijing, where every inch of land was extremely expensive, the accommodation fees for student dormitories were the most expensive part.
This promise from Peking University directly helped many families in difficulty by reducing a large part of the burden, the deal was was even more attractive now.
Seeing that Tsinghua University, which was recognized as one of the top two universities in the country, had gone up to speak passionately and gave such good conditions, Fudan University’s Deputy Director of the admissions office, Li Zhendan, felt that he had to make his school’s conditions more attractive.
Thus, he called the Secretary of the School Committee and the President one after another. Then, he stood on the stage with a confident smile.
“Our Fudan University has always given the best treatment to students who are outstanding enough. Tuition, miscellaneous fees, accommodation fees, these are all trivial matters. As long as Yun Ding High School students apply to our school, they will all be committed to the national four-year scholarship.”
Xu Zhiyu sucked in a breath of cold air. Even Fang Yuan, who was watching from the door with his arms crossed, could not help but feel a little surprised.
After all, a national scholarship usually started at 100,000 yuan a year.
Fudan University promised 400,000 yuan just by saying this! Although as a famous university in Shanghai, they had a lot of slots, but it seemed a little too generous.
When the fourth-ranked university went on stage to give a speech.
The Deputy Director of the enrollment office of Jiaotong University and Tongji University nearly fought over who was the fourth-ranked university.
In the end, the two of them squeezed onto the stage at the same time.
One of them promised, “If you apply to my Jiaotong University, not only will you get all the benefits up front, but you’ll also be able to directly escort graduate students.”
The other did not want to be outdone:
“After you apply to my Tongji University and submit your master’s degree, you’ll be directly enrolled into the doctoral program, and you’ll have priority in obtaining the qualifications to stay in the university and teach.”
The offstage students stayed silent.
