【儿子一个同学考上牛津的一点经验】

(2009-08-22 16:16:28) 下一个

和这里的父母分享只为咱们华人孩子上好学校总结经验、窍门和捷径,别无它意。

儿子有个同学,也是个小中,聪明是很聪明,但平时念书不认真,常忘了交作业,写

PAPER什么的也不当回事儿,高中四年下来GPA 不怎么高,估计因为上课稀松,老师对他印象也一般般,课外活动什么的也乏陈可述。按美国大学申请的要求的主要几项:ESSAYGPA,推荐信,课外活动,他都不在前列。

可他有一条优势,会考试,

SAT考的很好,可在美国光SAT成绩好也没用。他父母一急之下想到了欧洲的好大学,据说牛津剑桥的录取只看入学考试,和国内高考似的,加上参照SAT。他结果考英国的考试考的极好,一举被牛津和剑桥双双录取(好像是)

在美国他也报考了一堆学校结果连伯克利都没取,更别提藤校什么的了。

这个经验可以用于有类似背景,明年要报考的孩子,象

GPA什么的已经无法补救了,但申请其它国家的好学校是条好的出路,尤其想牛津剑桥一类的,还是很值得的。

下面是儿子学校今年的录取详情,学校的分组有我个人主观因素,请大家别介意
