X Chapter 0200 +25 BONUS At this moment, Sandy suddenly spoke up. "If it's a combined Bachelor's, Master's and Doctorate program, then Bedford College does have a few disciplines where that's possible, though the entry requirements are extremely high. Miranda, what was your undergraduate major?" "Bioinformatics." "Faculty of Bioinformatics?" Sandy looked at Bryan. "You should know more about this. Does the bioinformatics program have a combined Bachelor's, Master's and Doctorate track?" Instantly, all eyes, including Elizabeth's, turned to Bryan "Uh..." Bryan set down his utensils and thought for a moment. "Technically, this program doesn't offer a combined track.." Elizabeth shot up from her seat, glaring at Miranda. "The facts are clear. What do you have to say now?" Sandy, however, noticed the nuance in Bryan's wording. "Bryan, what does 'technically mean? Are there exceptions?" Bryan nodded. "Yes. Each year, the Faculty of Bioinformatics offers one to two conditional admission slots for students who have won gold medals in international Olympiad competitions." "What do you mean by conditional admission slots?" "Simply put, students who meet the gold medal criteria and other related qualifications can negotiate conditions with the college, such as full scholarships or guaranteed admission to the graduate program. "Basically, you can make requests, and the college will consider them, though whether they agree is another matter." Sandy asked, "So, theoretically, could one of those conditions be direct admission to a doctorate program?" Bryan nodded. "In principle, yes, but in practice, it's extremely rare. Everyone wants direct admission to a PhD, but very few have the credentials to make that demand and be accepted by the college.

"As far as I know, in the last ten, maybe even 20 years, the Faculty of Bioinformatics has granted direct PhD admission only twice.

"One was to Dr. Sophie Xander's protégé, John Clifford. The other, I believe, was one of Dr. Christine Young's students. I don't recall the exact name.

"I only know that she was a girl who won gold medals in the Olympiad competitions for Physics, Chemistry, Chemistry, and Computing that year. In a way, it was like a grand slam.

"The college gave her a special admission offer, but the amazing thing was that she didn't accept it. Instead, she got in through the regular college entrance exam. I think she was also the top science student in her district that year..

"With such an outstanding student, forget about just direct PhD admission, I feel like even if she asked for a postdoctoral position at the college, they would gladly accept." With those words, the circle narrowed immediately. Since John was male, that left Miranda as the only Chapter 0200 possibility for being Christine's student.

However, could that truly be the case? +25 BONUS Gold medals in four subjects, the top science student in her district, a combined Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctorate program... Not to mention, a favorite of the college and faculty.

Any one of these accomplishments seemed impossible to attribute to Miranda alone.

Elizabeth scoffed, looking at Miranda. "Now, do you have anything left to say?" Miranda indeed had nothing to say, but it was more from disbelief than from being speechless.

At that moment, Paul set down his utensils and spoke calmly, "Miranda is Dr. Young's student." Silence fell over the room.

Bryan swallowed hard. "No way He glanced at Miranda. "Are you really that student of Dr. Young?" Miranda sighed. "Do you needto call Dr. Young right now to prove it?"

"No, no, no..." Bryan quickly waved his hands. "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just.. I'm stunned! I never thought the legendary prodigy would be right here beside me..."

Sandy's eyes sparkled with excitement as she grabbed Miranda's hand. "Tell me, how did you manage to get gold medals in four different En.

Olympiad subjects? My son is struggling with just one subject, Math Olympiad, and he's already constantly complaining." Simplify OT-IT Integration with Private 5G and Cloud Sponsored: MeriTalk TelRead Next Story >

Miranda blushed slightly. "Well... I don't really know how did it just solved problems, lots of problems, and made sure to get them all right." ead the latest chapter there!
