出国留学,去往美国留学,美国前20院校正确的申请方式!
一、Match-匹配要刚刚好~
每个学校都有录取基因,它是学校在长期发展和进化中形成的一种沉淀和传统。学校的招生官会把这些当做一种骄傲,在招生时倾向于录取这些方面有闪光点或潜质的学生。这就是所谓的Match-匹配。
各个学校都青睐什么样的学生呢?这就需要我们在平常生活中多关注和了解,并往这些方向提升自己。
哈佛大学校长Catherine在哈佛2015年毕业致辞上曾指出:……“Harvard’s enduring commitment to graduate students who are “enlarged” to be about more than themselves. Not just enlarged for their own sake, but enlarged toward others and the world. Our students and faculty have embodied that spirit through their word to serve in our neighborhood and around the world.” 如此,哈佛是很喜欢具有社区精神,以及不拘一格、精明能干并且群策群力,引领大家改善世界的学生。
Richard曾在2016年接受中国教育报的专访,从他的回答中,我们也很容易看到杜克大学这所学校的招生偏好:“其实,我们对学生进行整体的考核和观察。具体来讲,我们从推荐信、选课的难易程度、课外活动重心等各个方面来考查一个学生。对于每个学生的选拔,我们会花费大量时间了解他的潜力。近年来,我们更希望集合具有不同的兴趣、个性、能力和领导力的学生。”
二、要提前早规划要充分利用ED!
首先我们来看看美国前20学校都有哪些?
细心的亲们会看到,这个名单,除了院校信息和排名,就只包含了一个其他信息:申请截止时间,包含EA的、ED的和RD的。因为下面一张图会让你看到,EA(主要指REA啦)和ED的录取率,RD的录取率,以及整体的录取率有多么大的区别。
(以上数据为近两年数据,取自学校官网和第三方,若有失误,请谅解)
不难看出,Top 20学校中,大多学校的常规录取率远远低于早申请录取率,比如排名第一的普林斯顿大学的早申请录取率为18.56%,是常规录取率(4.42%)的4.2倍。即便排名为14的布朗大学,其早申请录取率(22.08%)也达到常规录取率(7.66%)的2.88倍。小编强烈建议,想冲击美国名校本科的学生充分利用早申请的机会,在高一、甚至早达初三的时候便做好学术、课外活动、社会活动等各方面的长期发展规划,力保在名校早申请截止前便在GPA、标准化考试成绩、综合素质等各方面达到学校的要求,提高被录取的几率。
三、真诚要真诚,无论准备材料还是Essay!
Essay是英文文章,是内容、语法、句式、词汇等各个多个因素的综合体。小编想用一个成语来讲明它们之间的关系:锦上添花。内容是锦,精确的语法、多变的句式、丰富的词汇是花。没有锦做基础,花便显得杂乱。
除了强调文书内容以外,还给大家分享Top 20院校的一些补充文书题目。多了解几个,想想如果你要申请,你会怎么写才能打动对方。多看几个学校的要求,其实就能摸出套路了。
