As the "National Science University" and "National Arts University" among the military academies, the Chinese Academy of Sciences enrolled very few students every year. The enrollment scores for engineering-and-technology-related universities were sometimes even higher than the enrollment scores for the National Science University and National Arts University!
Ye Jian, who always had good results, listened to Xia Jinyuan's suggestion and chose the Command Major with a lower admission score. Even she had to fill in her choice and major conservatively. This showed how difficult it was to get into the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the 1990s.
After Mrs. Tong's reminder, Ye Jian remained silent during her college entrance examination. Fortunately, her classmates didn't pester her and she heaved a sigh of relief.
