His responsibility was to manage the recruitment of an entire freshman class.
Aside from the routine admission of top students, promoting the school on various levels, and attracting talents, there was another very important aspect.
The highest score.
Every school would advertise their highest scoring student to showcase their influence and teaching capabilities.
Among these, the most famous case was a student from Haidong Province, the top science scholar, who declined offers from Huaqing and Ji University, and enrolled at Haidong University instead.
This had become major news at the time, hitting the trending searches and spreading widely, essentially influencing the whole country.

If the scores were high but not extremely high, there was absolutely no need to desperately try for Huaqing or Ji University to settle for lesser programs; one could simply choose top majors at Haidong University.
