Do I have to be an undergraduate student? Or is it semi-self-funded?!

Liu Baicheng's brows gradually furrowed as he listened to the discussion on stage about whether Tsinghua University should take these thirty places, or whether he should take them himself, or give them to the High School Affiliated to Tsinghua University.

For Professor Liu, who had studied in the United States, he knew that the Carter Center had nothing to do with the Carter he knew. However, these two things happened one after another, which did not allow him to think more about it.

After all, it involves the issue of students paying for themselves, and the discussion at the meeting has no practical effect.

Those who proposed to give the quota to the graduates of the affiliated middle school thought that it was rare for an American to help pay half of the tuition. It happened to be the beginning of the new school year. In this way, a group of outstanding high school graduates would be sent there. After four years of study, they would be

Very good deal.

The opponents naturally considered the money. Even if only half of it was used, it would be very stressful for the students' families. But after all, the time has come to 1983, and some individuals or towns affiliated with state-owned enterprises

Enterprises have emerged.

Although due to the situation, many people will not reveal their wealth, but for this group of people, they are very clear that in the current China

Although 99% of families cannot afford even half of Yale University tuition, only 1% of families can afford it. In a country with a large population like China, there are only 30 families who can afford this amount.

, it’s really not difficult!

When he heard the announcement from the rostrum that the information would be sent to the school headquarters and the affiliated middle school in the form of an announcement, and then teachers would publicize it and count the number of applicants, Professor Liu left the conference room and made the phone call immediately.

"Ah? The sponsorship of the Carter Center is led by me, I guess. I am one of the sponsors of the Carter Center. To a certain extent, at least in terms of student affairs, I can represent Yale's attitude."

In the middle of the night, Carter received this phone call in a daze, and Carter's mind was not clear for a while.

"I understand, it is indeed related to you. But time is very tight now. In less than two months, the new semester will start. We just received the notice today. Isn't this time too anxious? And

, semi-self-financed students only accept undergraduate students, do you want to recruit high school students?"

"We can do it. If you are a high school graduate who comes here to study in the first year of undergraduate studies. If you are an undergraduate student and you come here to transfer, that's fine, as long as you pass the English language test. Because Yale currently does not have its own language school, if we give conditional admission, the language will be

At the same time, they have to go to another school for a year, which is a big delay."

"I want to specify the purpose of undergraduates. To put it bluntly, it is because my current position at Yale can only manage undergraduates. Therefore, if undergraduates come, it is convenient for them and it is convenient for me."

He answered the phone in a daze and hung up the phone in a daze.

When Carter woke up the next day, the call came again.

The matter was still about international students, but the person who called was different.

"Carter, I have some bad news here. You have to be mentally prepared."

"Tell me, Mr. Carter, I am mentally prepared. Is there something wrong with the international students?"

"The information was passed yesterday, and the Chinese side is very supportive of this kind of educational exchange and cooperation. The first draft of the list of government-sponsored international students is already available, but for semi-self-financed students, the situation is not very optimistic. According to the feedback from the contact person, Yale University is currently in China

It is not well-known, and the tuition fee is high. Even though ten universities and their affiliated high schools have launched publicity work, only a handful of people have signed up, which is completely different from the expected enthusiasm."

"Okay, I understand, what about the other aspects"

"It's not a big problem in other places. A total of 100 publicly funded international students from Israel and Egypt have been confirmed. Applications can be sent to the Yale International Scholars Office and Admissions Office for screening in the next few days. What are the differences between these countries?

China is a little different. China has been closed for too long, so in terms of influence. Ha, to tell a joke, as long as it is an American university, they all look the same."

“There is no difference between Yale University and Long Beach University, but the tuition at Yale University is very expensive.”

The truth is the truth, even though I have not experienced this era.

But even when I was growing up, American universities were often awesome and represented high technology. Who knows, who is good and who is bad in American universities?

These days, there are no study abroad toilets in Australia, or the kind of pheasant universities that specifically cater to Chinese students. They are all awesome anyway, but your tuition fees are too high, which is indeed easy to discourage people from studying.

"I can understand this. Let me see if my visa has expired. If not, I will go to China again, or I will organize a propaganda team and go for a run. Moreover, even if I get

Come on, there are only 150 people here, which is still far from my goal. I plan to visit all the neighboring East Asian countries."

After hanging up the phone, Carter grabbed the bread on the table and stuffed it into his stomach. Just do it!

"Mr. Stevens, I'm Carter. I plan to take five or six students on a trip abroad. What else can I do? Promote, no, promote! I have already managed more than a hundred international students. This

The plan is completely feasible! Now I plan to add fire, work hard, and get more. Okay, okay, I will find the people myself, and you can allocate 30,000 US dollars to me for funding. I will make up for the excess!"

"Hey, Ford, are you still in New Haven? Great, in this case, you go back to school quickly. Go to the Admissions Office and Dwight Hall to pick up a batch of promotional materials. What about Yale's little blue flag?

Bring more notebooks and the like! There are also campus photos and maps.

I have communicated with Principal Stevens about how much you can take. Don’t worry, he will say hello. Just take it! After you get it, contact Director Carlos of B-5. I will call him later and ask him to send a car.

Help you deliver your things to New Haven Airport, I’ll be there right away.”

"Hey, TBL flight service"

"Hey, Manfred, are you free during the summer? What? Part-time job at a convenience store. What a shit. Resign and go on a business trip with me! You can come directly to New Haven or join us in New York. Remember to bring it with you.

Passport, we want to go abroad."

As Carter made one call after another, several families across the United States entered a state of panic.

For young students, the president of the club or the chairman of the board of directors organizes activities for everyone during the summer vacation. For the noisy American youths, this is more exciting than a party!

There are parties every day, but there are not many opportunities for a group of peers to do something big together. What’s more, they can go abroad this time?!

In the confused eyes of countless family members, the members from the Fuxing Club rushed out of the house with bread in their mouths and bags on their backs. In the bags were two pairs of underwear and a T-shirt as a change of clothes.
