接到学生家长的电话听说10月香港SAT要延期,于是登录大学理事会官网去查,就是延迟到10月11号,对早申请没有太大影响。但是过会又看到微信上有各种消息说要推迟到10月25日,觉得很不可思议和莫名其妙。亚洲只有香港推迟,有家长打电话到香港考评局,他们只是说事大学理事会决定的,也没有公开具体原因。至今大学理事会官网只是在不显眼的地方有更新香港考试信息,十月确实延期至10月25日。目前很多同学准备转战新加坡,台湾或是日本,这几个国家今天下午五点左右查的时候考位还比较充足。澳门目前已经没有考位。

很多家长坐不住了,急着要给孩子换考场,生怕成绩赶不上早申请。Ms.Bai来给大家分析一下吧。
大家关心的主要问题就是推迟到10月25日是否会对EA/ED造成影响?需要去其他国家考试吗?目前大家比较一致的观点是早申请会来不及,其实不一定,要具体看学校的政策了。
大家需要在commonapp注明10月有参加SAT考试,即使是参加10月25日的考试,成绩大约11月中旬出来,其实对于很多截止日期在11月15日的学校还是来得及的。Ms.Bai刚才有和一所学校的现任招生官确认,只要你在学校的截止日期前将commonapp提交,学校就会为你建立档案,SAT成绩晚到其实不影响录取。举个例子,比如学校截止日期是11月15日,其实等招生办的助理把每个学生的所有材料整理完整可能就到11月20日或者更往后的日期(如果申请人较多的话),在这种情况下,招生官拿到你的申请应该是11月20日之后,即使你晚交成绩,其实学校根本不知道。你甚至在成绩出来的第一时刻发邮件或者传真给学校,这个非官方成绩也会放入你的档案,当然学校最终还要看官方正式成绩。
总结一下,10月25日香港考试对于很多截止日期在11月15日的学校影响不大,对于11月1日截止的学校,大家需要去官网确认,比如芝加哥大学虽然11月1日截止,但是还接受11月SAT的成绩,但是密歇根大学就比较严格,需要收到所有材料。
以下是中国学生经常申请的EA/ED 截止日期在11月1号的学校,最好直接去学校官网确认大学对最晚提交SAT的时间的要求。Ms.Bai也会继续联系各个学校的招生官确认10月25日成绩是否可以用。

其实退一万步,目前国内早申请的形式严峻,SAT刷分,成绩单活动造假,大学非常谨慎,以至于在EA/ED阶段发的录取很少,大多数同学的offer还是在正常申请阶段拿到的。(文/Ms.Bai)
