what's your college-self test

(2012-11-22 13:06:18) 下一个

Seniors! Can’t decide where to apply?Everyone you know is applying to the same colleges? Did you know thatin American, only 18% choose their college by the ranking? Why isthat? Because Americans know that U.S. News is not a governmentranking, it’s a private, for profit magazine. And many differentmagazines and groups give different rankings to the same colleges.

American students want to know what student life is going tobe like living on campus. They want to choose a college where theirinterests and values fit in with the particular college.

同学们,还不知道申请什么大学吗?你认识的朋友们都申请了同一所大学吗?你知道在美国只有18%的学生会根据排名来选择大学吗?为什么呢?因为美国人知道U.S.News给出的不是官方排名,它是一个靠杂志来盈利的私营机构。而且许多不同的杂志和机构会给同一所大学不同的排名。

美国学生想知道,住在一个大学校园里的生活是什么样的。他们想去选择一所与他们兴趣和价值取向一致,从而可以很好融入,很好发挥自身特色的学校。
