今年錄取的學校是什么?坦白說,現在高分不是進名校的保證。而且你提供的信息很少沒有辦法正確評估。

It is so sad that an excellent candidate such as you did not get any offer. I am constantly hearing from top boarding schools that there are simply too many Chinese students this year, and top boarding schools are having such a hard time to pick students. Imagine that more than 200 applicants for four spots that are allocated for Chinese students. It is apparent that even students from big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai are competing with other outstanding Chinese students from other areas. Also it seems that postponing one year would not help much either. All outstanding international students who are currently at junior boarding schools such as Cardigan Mountain and Fay or other top private schools who are already in USA will apply as the 10th grade next year to the schools who would offer fewer space for 10th grade.

I encourage you, if possible, to change your perspective a little. As matter of fact, it is about going to a top or selective university four years later. I suggest you to search some of excellent days schools which have the same or better record of sending its graduates to top universities. You can have some advantages even when you transfer one year later from this top day school to a top boarding school because top schools recognize other top schools' reputation and academic curriculum, and often welcome the accomplished students at other top tier schools. Start your study somewhere, complete your course there or prepare the transfer next year, but please definitely be in an environment that helps you be more competive for admission in USA, if you plan to go to a selective university later.

像你這樣出色的申請者沒有得到滿意的錄取真是令人沮喪。我時常聽到頂尖寄宿學校校方他們說今年中國學生太多了,也在很辛苦地選擇學生。超過200多名的申請者分派給四個地區(qū)。很明顯,從北京上海等大城市來的學生也與其他地區(qū)優(yōu)秀學生競爭。如此看來,推遲一年入學沒有太大的幫助。包括目前已經在美國讀書的優(yōu)秀國際學生,他們也將會參與到申請如Cardigan Mountain 和Fay這樣的一流寄宿中學的競爭中來。況且學校10年級的空位本來就非常少的。
我鼓勵你改變一下自己的觀點。事實上,4年以后你的目標是頂尖或是重點大學。我建議你尋找一些不錯的日校,在名校入學率方面戰(zhàn)績不俗的日校。即便是一年以后你從這樣日校轉到頂尖寄宿學校的話,也是有一定優(yōu)勢的。原因在于好的學校認可其他同等水平學校的口碑和學術質量。愿意接受其他同類校的學生。盡快開始在美國學校,同時考慮一年后的轉校,請記住一定要進入一所為將來申請重點大學有益的中學讀書。 -
高中不是你的終點,我覺得目標放長遠點,重點是進一個你滿意的大學。你目前錄取的學校是哪個呢,如果是所謂的20或30,那么和前15也沒有太大區(qū)別,不值得你等待一年的時間,進什么樣的大學還是看你高中的表現。

九年級申請美國九年級機會應該更多一些,因為錄取的人最多。十年級申請則相對要難一些。不知你的保底學校如何?一般,優(yōu)秀的學生,不管是去排名前15的高中,或排名前50的高中,申請大學時機會差不多的。稍弱一點的學校,你會更有發(fā)展你的才能的機會。
此外,我想說一下,申請學校一定不要太看重排名,而應該多看看學校是否適合自己的發(fā)展,看學校是否提供自己想學習的課。
