As an admissions counselor for a state university,I took a call from an furious mother demanding to know why her daughter had been turned down. Avoiding any mention of the transcript full of D's,I explained that her daughter just wasn't as"competitive" as the admitted class."Why doesn't she try another school for a year and then transfer" I suggested.
"Another school!" exclaimed the mom."Have you seen her grades"
我是一所州立大學的招生顧問,接到一個憤怒的母親打來的電話,要求知道為什么她的女兒沒有被錄取。我避免說她女兒的成績單上全是D,只是解釋說她的女兒不像其他被錄取的學生那樣"有競爭性"。我建議說:"你女兒可以先到別的學校學一年,然后再轉學。"
那媽媽大喊道:"轉學? 你沒看見她的成績嗎?"
