美國留學：不適合申請預科的六種學生

【 abroad.hopetrip.com.hk - 消息資訊】美國留學：不合適申請預科的六種門生

　　To all you high school seniors mentally kicking yourselves because you didn't apply early to college and now have to endure months of nail biting, here's some good news:

　　對付所有無申請大學預科而心坎掙紮的同窗，在接下來的幾個月裏會很苦楚，然則下面便是不申請預科的長處：

　　Research suggests you could end up getting more financial aid than those who committed early to college. And 10 years from now, you could very well be happier with whatever college choice you ended up making.

　　Of course, the data clearly show that applicants who apply early to college are more likely to get acceptance letters.

　　研討查詢拜訪註解通俗申請的門生獲得的獎學金比申請預科的門生多。

　　固然數據顯著地表現出提早申請大學的門生更易被登科。而且許多黌舍為門生供給了EA申請來取代束縛性的ED申請——限定申請門生在高三的秋日就決議去一所黌舍，EA申請可以許可申請人申請多所黌舍。

　　But experts who've studied the ins and outs of college admissions say that the relief and other advantages of restrictive "early decision" applications comes at a price for late bloomers, those who need aid to pay for college and several other kinds of students. In fact, they say, there are six kinds of students who shouldn't apply early decision:

　　然則研討過大學申請的專家說束縛性的ED對付潛力大的門生來講有許多上風，須要大學助學金的門生和其他幾類門生，其實是不合適申請ED的。

　　1. Obviously under-qualified. Research by Christopher Avery, a professor at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, found that applying early only gave a slight edge to students whose test scores, grades, and other qualifications were slightly below the college's average. Significantly underqualified students were rejected no matter when they applied.

　　1. 資格不敷的門生：哈佛大學甘乃迪當局學院的一個傳授Christopher Avery做了查詢拜訪表現申請預科對付分數和其他方面的本質較低的門生來講上風其實不顯著，資格很差的門生無論申請甚麽黌舍都不會被登科。

　　2. Obviously over-qualified. Students who were slam-dunk candidates were admitted no matter when they applied, Avery found, so early applications can unnecessarily limit their options.

　　2. 程度很高的門生：程度高的申請人無論申請甚麽黌舍都能被登科，以是預科申請會限定他們的選取。

　　3. Reliant on financial aid. Students who get into several colleges get more aid than those who get into only one, research shows. While students can appeal financial aid offers made by colleges, they're likely to have more bargaining power if they can leverage offers from competing schools. In fact, a growing number of colleges including Harvard University, Cornell University, and Carnegie Mellon University now state publicly that they will consider matching financial aid offers from competing colleges. Students who commit to a single college in the fall can't get any competing offers.

　　3. 依附獎學金救濟：查詢拜訪表現申請多所黌舍的門生比只申請一所黌舍的門生能獲得更多的獎學金。許多黌舍包含哈佛大學，康奈爾大學和卡內基梅隆大學都公然聲明獎學金贊助要跟競爭黌舍舉行比較。以是只申請一所黌舍的門生不克不及申請到有競爭力的獎學金。

　　4. Late bloomers. While many public colleges' regular admissions deadlines are as early as November, many other colleges accept admissions through the spring of senior year. Students who stumble academically sophomore or junior year—but are able to recover in their senior year—need the extra time to prove to admissions officers (and themselves) that they can succeed in college.

　　4. “大器晚成”的門生：許多公立大學的慣例申請停止日期是11月份，而另一些大學的申請是在高三的春天。那些高一高二成就不凸起的門生，在高三一年會有沖破性的奔騰，他們須要更多的時光去證實本身能在大學裏獲得更高的造詣，預科申請時光太早不克不及表現出本身的上風。

　　5. The undecided. Few teenagers have clear career goals and a realistic understanding of what specific kinds of educational qualifications they want. "At the time they need to be preparing for college (many high schoolers) are just forming independent ideas about who they are and what interests them academically and socially," writes Barbara Schneider, an education professor at Michigan State University.

　　5. 拿不定主張的門生：少少部門的門生對本身有清楚的職業目的和本身想得到的詳細的教導條理。密歇根州立大學的教導傳授Barbara Schneider寫道，在預備申請大學的時刻(一些高中生)要在內心有自力自立的設法主意，對付自我的熟悉和進修上和生存上的興致喜好。

　　6. Those who delayed their college search until senior year. It takes time to sort through hundreds of college options. Students need to spend time understanding themselves and the quirks of each college, Schneider believes. Applicants who only start doing research in their senior year often don't have enough time to find a "perfect match" by early deadlines, some of which are as early as Nov. 1.

　　Schneider, who worries that the pressure to apply to college early could worsen what she calls "college fever," says her surveys of college graduates have turned up "some evidence that students who make these choices very early without having opportunities to explore other options, later on (in their twenties) report some dissatisfaction with their college choices and lives."

　　6. 在高三才開端查黌舍的門生：要在成千上百所黌舍裏選取是要花時光的。Schneider以為門生要花時光對本身有個反思而且對黌舍的一些妙聞怪事要有個懂得。一樣平常到了高三才開端找黌舍的門生，是沒時光在停止日期以前找到一所很合適本身的黌舍的，由於預科申請一樣平常在11月份就停止了。
