My daughter is a grade 10 and top student (1 over 75) of an international school (British system), she got TOEFL iBT > 100, however, SSAT around 50% without any preparation for all the exam. She has got immediate admission after interview from Bryn Mawr, Ashley Hall, Maumee Valley day schools with open choice either Grade 10 or 11. Of course school advices for Grade 10 for her to have more time for preparation and transition. To cope daughter's aim for US top 10 universities, I would appreciate if you could kindly advice if it is worth and feasible for her to try Grade 11, especially she is a quite disciplined and diligent student, as we hope not to spend additional year for her to repeat Grade 10 but has concern if it will be difficult to achieve the objective.

I can feel that your child is an excellent student! Now you must choose which way is the best way to prepare your child to get accepted to Top 10 universities, either by graduating from an international school here in China or by graduating from an American school.
Honestly, either way, your child will have to work so hard since getting an admission from top 10 universities, especially as a Chinese international student, would be terribly hard.
Becoming 11th grader at American high school would also be very risky because international students tend to suffer with their grades in their first year at a new American school, and grades as 11th would be considered as the most significant ones that show student's intelligence, rigor, willingness and focus by many top universities. Schools that know this usually recommends international students to lower one grade down.
Also there is a good chance for your child to get accepted to one of top universities while your child stays at a current school. Your child should have a very careful college application plan, starting now! Please find someone who can give advice in this matter. These professionals might help you greatly. So, choice is yours! -
我能感覺(jué)到,你的孩子是一個(gè)優(yōu)秀的學(xué)生!現(xiàn)在,你必須選擇一種最好的方式來(lái)幫您的孩子準(zhǔn)備,確保孩子進(jìn)入前10名的大學(xué)。無(wú)論是在中國(guó)一所國(guó)際學(xué)校畢業(yè)或從一所美國(guó)學(xué)校畢業(yè)。
老實(shí)說(shuō),無(wú)論哪種方式,您的孩子都要付出很多努力,因?yàn)榈玫揭粋€(gè)排名前10的大學(xué)錄取,尤其是對(duì)于中國(guó)的國(guó)際學(xué)生,是極其艱難的。
去美國(guó)高中讀11年級(jí)亦是非常冒險(xiǎn)的,因?yàn)樵谝凰碌拿绹?guó)學(xué)校里,國(guó)際學(xué)生在第一年的時(shí)候都會(huì)經(jīng)受巨大的考驗(yàn)。而許多頂尖大學(xué)又把11年級(jí)的學(xué)習(xí)成績(jī)作為最重要的參考成績(jī)。體現(xiàn)了學(xué)生的智力,嚴(yán)謹(jǐn),意志力,關(guān)注點(diǎn)等。學(xué)校知道這鐘情況,通常會(huì)建議國(guó)際學(xué)生降低一個(gè)年級(jí)入學(xué)。
就在您孩子目前的學(xué)校也有很好的機(jī)會(huì),可以讓您的孩子被名校錄取。前提是你的孩子需要有一個(gè)精心策劃的大學(xué)申請(qǐng),從現(xiàn)在開(kāi)始準(zhǔn)備!教育專家們會(huì)給您很大的幫助。決定權(quán)在您手中! -
要知道T>100,SSAT90%以上的孩子都不是100%在美國(guó)私立高中游刃有余,而且有些已經(jīng)經(jīng)過(guò)1-2年后,家長(zhǎng)和孩子都明白沖擊前10可能性有多少了。
非常不建議直接上11,如果是經(jīng)濟(jì)問(wèn)題,那繼續(xù)就國(guó)內(nèi)國(guó)際學(xué)校好了,國(guó)內(nèi)申得還行。
在美國(guó)直接和美國(guó)孩子,中國(guó)韓國(guó)出去讀9年級(jí)(也是T>100,SSAT》85%出去的)的孩子競(jìng)爭(zhēng),很難的。
