"International student?!"

"That's right, Professor Liu. I am only one step away from now, or I will take office as the chairman of the Yale University Board of Governors in the second half of the year, and I will be involved in some school affairs. This year, Yale University is likely to increase the proportion of international admissions and release more information on application review.

There are more places.”

"Didn't I call you as soon as I heard the news?"

Thanks to the time difference, Carter almost didn't have to wait until tomorrow to do this.

As soon as I returned to the dormitory with my front foot, I could make a phone call with my back foot.

Through the New Haven Giant Panda House, Carter has been in contact with China, and has even contacted many things. It has almost become a well-known thing. After hearing Carter's solemn assurance, he can attract a lot of international students from China.

, Stevens couldn't help but feel excited.

"You can try it first and communicate your intentions on a personal basis to see how feasible it is. If you feel confident, we can go to the principal tomorrow. No, we may have to talk to him next week."

The words Stevens said before leaving echoed in his mind, and he received the affirmation from the school boss. Carter was in high spirits, and all kinds of benefits seemed to be floating in front of his eyes.

Contributing heavily to the school's finances means that you have more influence and a stronger voice. This is a short-term benefit; you can attract a large group of Chinese students.

For those who have just arrived in the United States and are not familiar with the place, as long as you contribute a little to their affairs and run around. Not to mention winning people's hearts, but gaining great favor and dependence is always right.

No matter what the future holds, most of them will have to accept their feelings, even if they all return to China to develop in the end.

The overseas returnees these days are no longer turtles. With the reputation of an Ivy League school, it would be abnormal for them to do poorly!

In this way, in disguise, he has extended his tentacles to all walks of life on the other side of the ocean in advance.

Perhaps the little calculation in his heart was so loud that Professor Liu on the other side of the ocean heard it, and a basin of cold water poured down on his head mercilessly.

"Haha, thank you for your consideration. However, Yale University is not a partner institution for our government-sponsored study abroad program."

"Why?!"

how so?!

Carter was stunned.

When it comes to teaching and research strength, is Yale University weak?!

When it comes to historical origins, it is no exaggeration to say that Yale University is the most pro-China among American universities, not to mention its enmity with China. It can be said that sending international students to Yale should be the safest choice.

.

Carter cannot guarantee that he can completely avoid some friction between students, or encounter individual racists being discriminated against. But at Yale University and in a blue city like New Haven, such incidents will definitely be much less.

“Because it’s expensive”

Professor Liu sighed. As one of the first batch of scholars studying in the United States, Professor Liu didn't know the advantages and disadvantages of Yale.

"Today is different from the past. When our group of scholars went to the United States, the Carter administration was still in charge. At that time, there was official support and subsidies, and the first batch of institutions we accepted were mainly public institutions. How much more so now?

"

"I also know that Yale is very good, but the tuition at Yale is also expensive! As you know our situation, funds are limited. Often, once the tuition is paid, students can start their lives in the United States with only a few dollars! That's it!

These few dollars are for emergencies, and they are basically not spent on normal days, almost nothing. Almost all of our students have just landed in the United States, put their luggage in the dormitory, and immediately have to find a job to support themselves."

"In addition, after all, Yale is still a liberal arts university. Although after 1980, we also increased the number of expatriate places for economics and management majors, but compared with the number of places for science and engineering majors, there will be much less places for economics and management majors. There are almost five places.

Among them, maybe only one will be given to students majoring in economics and management.”

"So, thank you for your kindness and reminder. But now I'm afraid."

"What about self-funded students? Whether they are undergraduates, graduate students or visiting scholars, we at Yale now welcome friends from China."

After hearing what Professor Liu said, Carter understood. Just...

So unwilling!

But unwilling to give in, Carter couldn't think of a way for a while.

The fee standards for private colleges and public colleges are there. They have federal or state financial support, but Yale does not. How can you say that?!

And even for public universities, the annual tuition is one to two thousand US dollars. For China at this time, it is not a small number. After all, the base is large!

According to rumors Carter knew, Mr. Deng had the idea to send a small number of 100,000 publicly funded students abroad.

The base number is so large that no matter how small the number is, it is not small. How can they choose a private university like Yale University?!

Now, Yale is counting on international students to make money. How can it possibly award too many scholarships?

What's more, the engineering major at Yale University is certainly adequate compared to ordinary universities, but compared with some powerful colleges and universities, it is completely incomparable. Engineering, on the other hand, is the discipline with the fastest results, or the most suitable for China's current needs.

When these several situations are added together, no matter how slippery Carter's words are, it will be in vain.

"We don't care much about self-funded students, and we can't do anything about it. Even last year, something happened next door to us. A student named Hai Wen went to Long Beach State University in California at his own expense. Because of this incident, their department

Several leaders were punished, but it was not serious."

"Now the situation of reform is gradually becoming clearer, and the country is relatively open and open-minded about this issue. However, there is no official document, so we currently do not have a standard process for self-financed study abroad. The process is very cumbersome, and in this case, you should

I understand."

"The high tuition at Yale University has discouraged many students who want to apply. They dare not apply to Yale University and cannot afford the money. Moreover, we are not responsible for publicity and selection like public study abroad cooperation.

Guidance, selection and delivery.”

To put it bluntly, the higher-ups turned a blind eye to this?!

Carter totally understands.

Just a few years after the reform, there are so many things to deal with, who can care about the management regulations for self-financed study abroad. Moreover, in the past few years, I guess I was thinking that not many families could afford it, so I sent it along later.

"I understand, but I believe that in a few years, things in this area will be liberalized. By then, Yale should be able to welcome many Chinese friends. I hope I can see that day on campus.

To be honest, there are many Chinese at Yale now, no, it should be said to be ethnic Chinese. Relatively speaking, it should be easier for Chinese students and friends to adapt to Yale than other universities. In addition, our public services

The teaching and scientific research capabilities in management, economics, biology, and medicine are not weak.”

As for the business at hand, as no compromise can be thought of for the time being, it is obviously no longer necessary to continue the discussion. However, the politeness in the scene must still be maintained.

After Jiliwala finished talking for a while, Carter hung up the phone with some dejection and sighed at the same time:

"well"
Chapter completed!
