Chapter 79(1/2)
At T University, in order to meet the requirement of 4.0 and 3.7 that the GPA should not exceed 20%, teachers of professional courses will strictly follow this rule to grade. Some students who could obviously get an A only got 89 points because of this rule. T University results
The point calculation algorithm is notoriously unfair in major universities across the country. Super academics who have won national awards usually have a GPA of 4.0 or below. Some departments can get 3.7 GPA, and they can be in all departments.
First.
A GPA of 4.5 is definitely considered rare. Not to mention being number one in the major, it would be difficult for the entire college and the entire school to find another chosen one like him.
It is said that Xue Youka is excellent. He is indeed very good, but many of his classmates are not worse than him. When the teacher gave the grades, maybe it was because he often sent emails to teachers and professors to ask some questions, and also asked them in person. He seemed familiar to him, and his name was more special.
, this rare 4.5 grade point fell on him. Others in their dormitory also spent the whole day in the library, and they were also the top students from various provinces. They worked hard to get a 3.2 or 3.3 gpa.
However, T's grading system has diluted the weight of gpa, so the selection criteria for exchange students are definitely not just based on gpa, but will only be used as a small reference.
Xue Youka still felt that it was unscientific, because the application form was passed to him by his roommate last year, and all four of them filled it out. He felt that the tuition-free program would be in vain if he didn’t go, and in their finance department, overseas background was still very important.
On his application form, in addition to writing down the three best colleges and universities within the scope of application, the rest only filled in basic information. What awards has he won? No, what competitions has he participated in? He has not participated.
He was too busy studying and had no time to participate in the business competition. Moreover, he did not take the IELTS or TOEFL exams at that time. Without these two scores, it stands to reason that he would not be up to standard at all.
"Youngest, you are too strong, why can't such good things happen to me?"
In the dormitory, everyone looked at the youngest roommate with envy. Although the T-Grade GPA algorithm is very tricky, with their academic qualifications, they have a good chance of applying for Oxford postgraduate studies after graduation. But this kind of exchange student opportunity is rare.
Requesting. Another student who applied to be an exchange student in Oxford is also a sophomore. He is a genius in the physics department and is also a great person.
"Oxford...Xue Youka, tell the truth, is there someone behind you?"
"Who is your principal of our school?"
"But that's not right. The selection of this exchange student has to be confirmed by the school there. It means that Oxford has confirmed it before issuing this list."
The three of them were just talking. Did Xue Youka have any background? They had known each other day and night, and they all knew that this was an ordinary college student who disappeared all day long except for classes and didn't know where to go to write papers.
——Maybe they are in love, the three of them thought.
Xue Youka was lying on the bed, thinking about this matter. Although it was bothering him, he did not tell Cheng Yu. If he went to be an exchange student without saying a word, he would have to go for a year, and many things would happen in that year.
Variable. He didn't want to lose Cheng Yu because of this.
The next day, he went directly to the Foreign Affairs Office. The Foreign Affairs Office is also called the International Cooperation and Exchange Office. There were many students in the office, some of whom were handling study abroad affairs, queuing up to get stamps, and some of whom were also here to inquire about the exchange student program: "
Teacher, teacher, University of New South Wales, how much does this certificate of deposit cost? Is the payment for half a year?"
"Teacher, teacher..."
Xue Youka waited in line at the back for a while, then walked up and asked: "Teacher, I would like to ask, is this exchange program at Oxford University a one-semester option?"
Oxford's semester system is three terms per academic year.
One semester is eight weeks.
"Two months as an exchange student? Oxford only has one academic year. My classmates, the tuition fee is completely free." Because of strategic cooperation, the annual tuition fee is as high as more than 50,000 pounds, and a full tuition fee system is implemented for outstanding international students. It is an euphemistic name.
It is said that students are sent abroad for academic exchange.
"I know it's free of charge..." The deposit record of 300,000 yuan can be withdrawn immediately after he sells the virtual currency. "I can't go for such a long time..."
The teacher was so surprised that her glasses slipped from the bridge of her nose to the tip of her nose. She pushed up her glasses and said, "Why don't you go? If you have difficulty with living expenses, the school can help you apply for subsidies. The living expenses in Oxford County are not high, and you are an exchange
If you are a student and live in a student dormitory, the savings per province will not exceed 100,000 per academic year." This is still going too far.
The most expensive things in the UK are rent and transportation. As long as you don't have the big cost of rent, you can go to the supermarket every day and buy some potatoes and fish to cook for yourself, and you don't go back home during the holidays. If you include round-trip air tickets for one school year, maybe 30,000 to 40,000 is enough.
It’s not like there haven’t been students like this before. They lived frugally, became skinny and skinny, and only ate discounted vegetables and eggs—and finally got the highest scholarship from King’s College.
The teacher firmly believed that he had difficulty in paying fees and asked his department and student number.
"Student Xue, right? You go to the funding department to get the information to apply for the subsidy. I can give you an extension, but you must hand over the required information before May 25th." The teacher wrote a note to him and stamped it.
He took the stamp from the Foreign Affairs Department and said, "Take this and go over there."
The note read: "Xue Youka, student number 16xxxxx, is an exchange student at Oxford in the 2018 academic year. His current difficulties require approval of a subsidy. This is hereby certified."
It was also signed and stamped below.
Perhaps it is the inherent advantage of good-looking people. He has always received special preferential treatment when this kind of thing happened to him since he was a child. Even if it is completely inconsistent with the regulations, it still happens.
"Thank you, teacher."
After coming out of the office, Xue Youka did not go to the funding department. Although he was not rich, he could still pay for the living expenses of the exchange students. He did not have to compete with others for thousands of dollars in subsidies. He already received a lot of scholarships every year.
Already.
He stuffed the note into the side pocket of his schoolbag and received a call from Cheng Yu.
"Isn't get out of class over? Where did you go?"
"...in the professor's office, just came out."
"I'm sitting on the same bench downstairs in your dormitory, waiting for you."
"I'll come right away!"
Cheng Yu graduated this year and wrote a paper very casually. He completed it and resubmitted it at the end of last year. Although there was a class schedule, there was no need to attend classes. Cheng Yu came to school recently because he had to pick him up.
Cheng Yu dressed very low-key, with a hat and a mask, and was dressed casually. Xue Youka found him, stood in front of him, and pressed the brim of his hat with his fingertips.
He raised his head lazily: "Xue Mimi, I sat and waited for you for half an hour."
Counting the time for his get out of class to end, Cheng Yu came over.
"I came here because I was worried that you would be impatient." He was still panting, his cheeks were red, "I'll treat you to the canteen."
"Don't go to the cafeteria, it smells like snail noodles."
"Then let's go eat Southeast Asian food. I want to eat pineapple rice..." Xue You pulled him up.
It happened to be a Southeast Asian dish that Cheng Yu didn't like very much but had never mentioned.
Cheng Yu didn't like the spicy smell of Thai food, which was sour and smelly. But who knew that Xue Youka liked eating pineapple fried rice as much as he liked eating snail noodles and stinky tofu, so Cheng Yu didn't bother to say anything.
"A seafood pineapple rice, no shrimp, no seafood." He ordered as usual.
This store was newly discovered and he hasn't eaten there yet.
Cheng Yu randomly ordered a few that didn't look poisonous.
In the middle of the meal, Xue Youka also answered a phone call: "Hello? Mr. Wei... Yes, I'm eating."
Mr. Wei, who?
Cheng Yu didn't have any impression. He seemed to be Xue Youka's boss at Zhongshang.
"Eating Southeast Asian food...it's okay...ok, I'll treat you next time when I'm free...No, no, no, I'll do it, really! Wait a minute, I'll check my email later, I'm too busy today, I haven't got anything yet
There’s still time to see it…”
Cheng Yu sounded like something was wrong.
What kind of boss is this? He asks people what they want to eat and invites Xue Youka to come with him?
Cheng Yu took a chopstick of barbecue and fed it to his mouth. Xue Youka turned away and didn't eat. He continued talking on the phone for about a minute, the whole time: "Okay, I understand, I understand..."
The phone hung up.
Cheng Yu: "Your boss?"
"Yes, the one from China Business School, informed me that the interview at China Business School has passed, and classes will start this weekend." China Business School lasts for two months, with two offline classes per week, and the class location is at China Business Headquarters, that is to say
, the time on Saturday and Sunday will be occupied.
"It's pretty good." Of course Cheng Yu knew about this school, which was a good thing, but...
"Then you are even busier...forget it, it will be fine in two months."
Xue Youka looked at Cheng Yu who was obviously unhappy, but still respected him, and then thought of the exchange student program.
Even though Cheng Yu has graduated, he still has a band. Xue Youka knows how much he loves Scorpio.
"Then I'll free up my time for you in the evening, and I won't go back to the dormitory."
Cheng Yu felt a little happier. In the taxi going home, he asked him: "Is Mr. Wei a boy or a girl?"
"male."
"And I want you to treat me?"
"People have also invited me, and they have helped me a lot."
"How come I didn't know when you invited me?"
"It happened last year. I didn't go to the toilet at that time. He paid the bill. I never found an opportunity. He didn't accept it after I forwarded it to him on WeChat."
"How urgent are you to pee that you have to run away even if you pay?" Cheng Yu felt that something was wrong with Mr. Wei when he heard this, "How old are you?"
"Uh, maybe... forty? He looks like thirty, but at his level, he should be forty."
"Are you married?"
"How do I know? I don't think I have one. I'm not wearing a wedding ring." As a subordinate, you have to figure out what your boss is thinking, so you will observe carefully.
Cheng Yu poked his forehead: "Be careful and don't be fooled. I sound like an old pervert. I'll go to class with you the day after tomorrow."
"ah?"
