Guess what? I've got some news.

Oh, you mean about Jack?

Yes, have you heard?

Yes, Eliza messaged me a few minutes ago.

Isn't it wonderful?

He's been accepted to Stanford.

Really? That's not what I heard.

Oh？What have you heard?

I heard he didn't get in.

So it was just a rumor.

If that's what you've heard, it isn't true.

He really wanted to get in, but from what I've heard, he is just on their waiting list.

Oh, then there's still a chance that he'll get in.

I guess so.

But even if he gets in, how is he going to pay for it?

It's very expensive and his family isn't wealthy.

Well, he can always get a student loan, or maybe he'll get a scholarship.

(Even if he gets in he still needs to find a way to pay the tuition and other cost.)

If he gets a loan it'll be for a lot of money!

He would be taking on a lot of debt.

Still, but a degree from Stanford is worth a lot and I've heard they have a lot of money for scholarships.

I wonder what he'll do.

If he gets in, I hope he gets a scholarship.

What will he do if he doesn't get into Stanford?

What are other choices?

The only other school I've heard he mentioned is Cambridge in England.

Oh, well, that's not a bad choice.

What about you?

Have you heard anything?

Me? I'll tell you if you promise not to tell anyone, ok?

Sure, if it's a secret, you can trust me.

I've been accepted into MIT on a full scholarship.(Massachusettes Institute of Technology)麻省理工学院

MIT? You are joking, right?

No, I'm serious.

Why haven't you told anyone?

I don't know.

I think I'll wait until everyone else has heard from their choices.

I really didn't expect to get in.

Yeah, especially with a full scholarship.

Some people will be jealous when they hear about it.

But we all know you are smart, so it's something you should be proud of.

Thanks! I'm really excited.

(How did he react to hearing that she had been accepted to MIT?)
