9月份入讀寄宿,現(xiàn)在申請也就是進入WAITING LIST。 如果孩子沒有特別突出的成績或者其他特長,再申請寄宿希望不大。好的走讀學(xué)校名額也是很少,只是對分數(shù)的要求較低,面試強的孩子拿到錄取的機會相對要大一些。但是申請的是11年級,學(xué)校對申請人的要求比9、10更高。
前30的文理競爭也是非常激烈,根據(jù)以往讀文理的孩子情況分析,不建議您現(xiàn)在讓孩子出國。踏踏實實準備一年的TOEFL、SAT,一樣可以有比較強的競爭力。畢竟出去以后適應(yīng)學(xué)習(xí)、生活同樣需要時間,又增肌了幾分不確定性,不見得是最優(yōu)的選擇。 -
TOEFL 102 不錯。但許多好的走讀學(xué)校都要SSAT 或ISEE

I understand your concerns! However, transferring to another school, especially academically strong one in USA, would be a great challenge to a student and even family. Typically, junior year (11th) would be the toughest and most challenging year for a high school students because a student must maintain high GPA, excellent extra-activities, high scores from tests such as SAT 1, SAT subject test (if colleges require), or TOEFL. Without proper preparations, a student usually suffers a lot, especially in the junior year even to an excellent American student.
Also, definitely, it is too late to get accepted to a good school at this time. All good schools have already registered new students and this is time to prepare a new school season. If there is a space available at the school, you might want to do your own research on that school before you go to the school (please check whether school is a better school or not in terms of sending its graduates to some of best colleges and universities than your current school)
My sincere advice for you if you aim to one of top 30 liberal arts colleges (I really admire you are considering liberal arts colleges!!) is to find someone who can guide you in the process of college applications and give you effective counseling to you in order to accomplish your goal. You might still have a good chance especially if you try to liberal art colleges while you stay in your current school! -
明白您所關(guān)心的問題。然而,在美國,轉(zhuǎn)到一所學(xué)術(shù)性強的學(xué)校, 對學(xué)生乃至整個家庭都是一個巨大的挑戰(zhàn) 。特別是11年級是高中階段最艱難和最具挑戰(zhàn)性的一年,因為學(xué)生必須維持高GPA,出色的課外活動, 在SAT1,SAT科目考試(如院校要求)或托??荚囍腥〉酶叻帧H绻麤]有適當?shù)臏蕚?,這一年學(xué)生會壓力巨大,即使是對一位優(yōu)秀的美國本土學(xué)生也是如此。
的確,在這個時候申請并進入好學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)的可能性不大。所有好學(xué)校已經(jīng)招完新生,開始為新學(xué)期做準備。如果某個學(xué)校有空位,在你決定去那所學(xué)校之前,你應(yīng)該對學(xué)校做好調(diào)研(該所學(xué)校學(xué)生重點院校的升學(xué)率如何 )
我真誠的建議你,如果你的目標是前30名文科院校(我真的很佩服你考慮文科院校?。。榱藢崿F(xiàn)自己的目標,你應(yīng)該找一位專業(yè)輔導(dǎo)老師,他可以在申請大學(xué)過程中指導(dǎo)你并給你提供有效的建議 。你留在目前的學(xué)校仍然有很好的機會,特別是如果你愿意嘗試文科院校! -
謝謝二位老師回復(fù)。目前正在看兩個走讀學(xué)校,如果有多幾個好學(xué)校推薦不勝感謝,這兩天看了很多sat排名靠前的boarding,但是時間太緊估計來不及了。孩子英文我不敢說好,toefl 裸考102,上新東方應(yīng)該還有上升空間,他詞匯還行,在四中學(xué)過ap英文,他自己認為提高比較大,在美國插班讀書時可以跟上。孩子自己表示要勇敢挑戰(zhàn)一下。
