It wasn't long after Shelby Fenton submitted her application that a club member called her in for an interview. In truth, the staff only gave the applications a cursory glance, focusing on the applicant's major, place of origin, and family's financial information. But even a quick look took time. To be called in for an interview as quickly as Shelby Fenton was... well, she was a first!
Everyone knew full well that the shorter the interval between submitting one's application and getting called for an interview, the more powerful that student's family was. Typically, only the wealthy enjoyed this kind of treatment.
Shelby Fenton shot Seraphina Sterling a smug glance. "You can just wait here. I'm heading in now! Don't be surprised if you're still waiting for news after I've already been accepted. We submitted our applications at the same time, yet I'm the one being interviewed first. This is the difference our statuses make—a gap you can never hope to close!"
