如何在申请者中脱颖而出
when it comes to applying to colleges in the United States, it's much more important to be able to show that you are an interesting, well-rounded individual, which is shown through a number of different ways rather than merely trying to demonstrate your capabilities based on your GPA or any kind of test scores.
在申请美国大学时,更重要的是能够证明你是一个有趣的、全面发展的人,这可以通过很多种方式来展示,而不仅仅是通过展示你的在校成绩或者标化考试分数。
So, I do want you to recognize that academics are just the beginning. Clearly, TOP universities will expect most serious applicants to be in a similar range with whatever they consider good test scores and grades and that's all available on their websites more or less. Generally, you do need to show that you do have the capabilities of doing well in school, but it's very important to understand that getting a perfect score or a perfect GPA is no guarantee of getting into a college, so think of it, in most cases, at competitive universities, every student scores A's and b's in their classes, and that information just simply is not enough for college admissions committee to distinguish one candidate from another, so they have to look deeper.
因此,我希望你们认识到,学业只是一个开始。很显然,美国优0秀大学所期待申请者的考试分数和成绩都能达到他们认为的良好水平,这在他们的官网上或多或少都能找到。
一般来说,你确实需要证明自己有能力在学校取得好成绩,但重要的是要明白,考试取得满分或得到满GPA并不能保证你一定能进入好大学,所以想想看,在大多数情况下,在竞争激烈的大学里,每个学生都能在课堂上取得A和B的成绩,而这些信息对于大学招生委员会来说根本不足以将候选人们区分开来,所以他们必须要参考更深的维度。
如何证明你与梦校的适配性
when we talk about fit, there are two sides of that coin so to speak, so one thing to consider is how a university might be a good match for your goals, interests, personality, and needs, and then on the flip side of that, how you as a student might be a good match for what a university might be looking for. When we talk about fit, I want to make it very clear to each and every one of you that there are thousands of colleges and universities in the United States, and that means that there are many options for you to be able to choose from that can be wonderful places for you, so do keep that in mind as we go through this process because I recognize it's really stressful to try to understand whether or not a school may be right for you, and the good news is that there are countless opportunities for you to choose from.
因此,当我们谈论"适合"时,可以说是硬币的两面,第0一面是一所大学如何与你的目标、兴趣、个性和需求相匹配,另一面是,作为一名学生,你如何能够很好地匹配大学希望寻找的人才。当我们谈到"匹配"时,我希望大家都明白,美国有成千上万所高校,这意味着你们能够选择适合自己地方的机会有很多,因此,当我们在选校时,一定要牢记这一点,因为我知道,要了解一所学校是否适合自己,确实很有压力,好在有很多的机会可以选择。
Now when we talk about fit, it is important for you to be able to get a feel of different universities and colleges, so you will have to do your own homework on doing a little bit of research into the places that you're looking at, try to understand how you might be a good match for the school, and you're usually able to at least get a feel for that by reading how the school describes itself and what it considers to be the most important benefits of what they can offer.
当我们谈论"适合"时,能够对不同的大学有一个基本认知很重要,要做到这一点你必须自己做一些功课,对你的目标院校做一些调研,试着了解你如何可能与学校匹配,通常你可以通过浏览学校对自己的描述,以及学校认为他们能够提供的最重要的价值来获得这方面的信息。
