像你這樣出色的申請(qǐng)者沒(méi)有得到滿意的錄取真是令人沮喪。我時(shí)常聽(tīng)到頂尖寄宿學(xué)校校方他們說(shuō)今年中國(guó)學(xué)生太多了,也在很辛苦地選擇學(xué)生。超過(guò)200多名的申請(qǐng)者分派給四個(gè)地區(qū)。很明顯,從北京上海等大城市來(lái)的學(xué)生也與其他地區(qū)優(yōu)秀學(xué)生競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。如此看來(lái),推遲一年入學(xué)沒(méi)有太大的幫助。包括目前已經(jīng)在美國(guó)讀書的優(yōu)秀國(guó)際學(xué)生,他們也將會(huì)參與到申請(qǐng)如Cardigan Mountain 和Fay這樣的一流寄宿中學(xué)的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)中來(lái)。況且學(xué)校10年級(jí)的空位本來(lái)就非常少的。
我鼓勵(lì)你改變一下自己的觀點(diǎn)。事實(shí)上,4年以后你的目標(biāo)是頂尖或是重點(diǎn)大學(xué)。我建議你尋找一些不錯(cuò)的日校,在名校入學(xué)率方面戰(zhàn)績(jī)不俗的日校。即便是一年以后你從這樣日校轉(zhuǎn)到頂尖寄宿學(xué)校的話,也是有一定優(yōu)勢(shì)的。原因在于好的學(xué)校認(rèn)可其他同等水平學(xué)校的口碑和學(xué)術(shù)質(zhì)量。愿意接受其他同類校的學(xué)生。盡快開(kāi)始在美國(guó)學(xué)校,同時(shí)考慮一年后的轉(zhuǎn)校,請(qǐng)記住一定要進(jìn)入一所為將來(lái)申請(qǐng)重點(diǎn)大學(xué)有益的中學(xué)讀書。 -
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.

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.

今年錄取的學(xué)校是什么?坦白說(shuō),現(xiàn)在高分不是進(jìn)名校的保證。而且你提供的信息很少?zèng)]有辦法正確評(píng)估。

先來(lái)讀一年語(yǔ)言會(huì)好很多, 再轉(zhuǎn)也比從中國(guó)申請(qǐng)容易.

高中不是你的終點(diǎn),我覺(jué)得目標(biāo)放長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)點(diǎn),重點(diǎn)是進(jìn)一個(gè)你滿意的大學(xué)。你目前錄取的學(xué)校是哪個(gè)呢,如果是所謂的20或30,那么和前15也沒(méi)有太大區(qū)別,不值得你等待一年的時(shí)間,進(jìn)什么樣的大學(xué)還是看你高中的表現(xiàn)。

九年級(jí)申請(qǐng)美國(guó)九年級(jí)機(jī)會(huì)應(yīng)該更多一些,因?yàn)殇浫〉娜俗疃?。十年?jí)申請(qǐng)則相對(duì)要難一些。不知你的保底學(xué)校如何?一般,優(yōu)秀的學(xué)生,不管是去排名前15的高中,或排名前50的高中,申請(qǐng)大學(xué)時(shí)機(jī)會(huì)差不多的。稍弱一點(diǎn)的學(xué)校,你會(huì)更有發(fā)展你的才能的機(jī)會(huì)。
此外,我想說(shuō)一下,申請(qǐng)學(xué)校一定不要太看重排名,而應(yīng)該多看看學(xué)校是否適合自己的發(fā)展,看學(xué)校是否提供自己想學(xué)習(xí)的課。
