美國每所大學都很分歧,是以他們登科門生時斟酌的身分都邑有分歧著重。分歧的院校到底重視門生甚麽本質呢?
1. A rigorous high school curriculum that challenges the student and may include AP or IB classes.
高中時期黌舍嚴厲的,能挑釁門生的教程,包含AP大概是IB的課程。
2. Grades that represent a strong effort and an upward trend. However, slightly lower grades in a rigorous program are preferred to all A’s in less challenging coursework.
高中的成就能表現出門生的盡力朝上進步,並能出現上升趨向。在嚴厲情況下輕微低一點的成就比寬松高中的全A更受迎接。
3. Solid scores on standardized tests (ACT, SAT). These should be consistent with high school performance.
ACT大概SAT的好成就。這些成就應當和高中團體成就相符合。
4. A well-written essay that provides insight into the student’s unique personality, values, and goals. The application essay should be thoughtful and highly personal. It should demonstrate careful and well-constructed writing.
一份能表現門生特征,代價觀和人生目的,無缺出現的文書。大學申請文書應當是經由門生深圖遠慮,高度本性化的,同時還須要表現寫作的完善構想。
5. Passionate involvement in a few in or out of school activities. Commitment and depth are valued over minimal involvement in a large number of activities.
異常有豪情地介入幾個校表裏的運動。始終如一地深度介入幾種運動比淺嘗輒止地介入多種運動更受承認。
6. Demonstrated leadership and initiative in extra-curricular activities. Students who arrive on campus prepared to lead clubs and activities are highly desirable.
在課外運動中展示引導力和發明力。大學都願望招到一入校門就可以引導門生俱樂部及各類校內運動的人材。
7. Personal characteristics that will contribute to a diverse and interesting student body. Many colleges seek to develop a freshman class that is diverse: geographically, culturally, ethnically, economically, and politically.
門生的特色能和一個多元化而且風趣的門生集團相得益彰。許多大學都願望有一個多元化的復活群體,從地區,文化,種族,經濟和政治的角度周全多元化。
8. Demonstrated intellectual curiosity through reading, school, leisure pursuits, and more.
經由過程瀏覽,黌舍生存,課外興致喜好等等表現門生的求知欲和學術上的好奇心。
9. Demonstrated enthusiasm to attend, often exhibited by campus visits and an interview, showing an interest toward attending the college if offered admission.
經由過程觀光黌舍,口試等等表現對所報黌舍的愛好和一旦被登科就會接收的熱忱。
10. Letters of recommendation from teachers and guidance counselors that give evidence of integrity, special skills, positive character traits, and an interest in learning.
黌舍先生和升學導師出具的推舉信能表現門生的品格,特別能力,踴躍向上的品德特色和對付常識的興致和渴求。
11. Special talents that will contribute to the college’s student life program. Colleges like to know what you intend to bring to campus, as well as what you’ll take from your college experience.
門生有哪些特別能力能豐碩校園生存。大學願望看到門生能給黌舍進獻甚麽,也想懂得門生應用黌舍各類資本的才能,能從黌舍帶走甚麽樣的閱歷。
12. Out of school experiences including work, community service, youth organizations, religious groups, etc. Again, passionate involvement is meaningful to the admissions office; casual memberships are not.
門生的校外閱歷,包含事情,社區辦事,青年集團,宗教構造等等。值得反復解釋的是,充斥豪情的深度介入是招生官重視的,浮皮蹭癢的簡略介入沒有份量。
