去年EA Harvard AO 打分 overall 2分

來源: 於 2023-11-24 12:42:21 [舊帖] [給我悄悄話] 本文已被閱讀：次

Academic Rating：   2+

Extracurricular Rating： 2

Athletic Rating：            4

Personal Rating：    2

 

Overall: 2　（假設第一個最大格子是　overall score)

校友 interview 2+ (校友EC 打分是 1-）

校友ｉｎｔｅｒｖｉｅｗ　之後有一框，打分是　２＋。　不知道是什麽。

 

其它還有幾個打分，不知道是什麽意思。 也都是２　（２＋　ｏｒ　２－）.

兩個 AO 看起來基本一致。 評語很積極。但是 AO highlighted 的地方和我們原來想的（本壇排名）並非一致。有些差別。　甚至同一類EC，　AO　highlighted　的是低一級別的成績。

有些縮寫看不懂，　比如　AIV, FH?

 

打分和我們原來想的有些不一樣。比如EC部分，我們認為會比2高，　應該　１－　ｏｒ　至少２＋．　看起來這個一分大刺二分刺也不好區分。　Personal Rating    2　這個有點超出預期。因為一般都說亞裔這這個方麵很容易被壓分。

總分２，四大類裏３個２分，　一個４分。　大數據說是　４３－８０％　錄取率。

看起來大學申請，家長和孩子的預判和實際都會有出入。 運氣成分很重要。 我們是運氣好，personal 部分也拿到2分，幸運地被錄取了。要不然兩個 2分估計錄取就懸了　

 

 

 

對打分分析

First, a breakdown of how Harvard's 4 main factors are assessed on a scale of 1-6 (1 being the best):

Academic Rating (0.5% of applicants get a 1, 42.3% of applicants get a 2):

  1. Summa potential. Genuine scholar; near-perfect scores and grades (in most cases) combined with unusual creativity and possible evidence of original scholarship.

  2. Magna potential: Excellent student with superb grades and mid-to-high-700 scores (33+ ACT).

  3. Cum laude potential: Very good student with excellent grades and mid-600 to low-700 scores (29 to 32 ACT).

  4. Adequate preparation. Respectable grades and low-to-mid-600 scores (26 to 29) ACT).

  5. Marginal potential. Modest grades and 500 scores (25 and below ACT).

  6. Achievement or motivation marginal or worse.

Difference between 1 and 2: You need to show academic excellence outside of just your grades and test scores in order to get a 1, most often through very prestigious academic competitions/awards and/or published research with a professor.

 

Extracurricular Rating (0.3% of applicants get a 1, 23.8% of applicants get a 2):

  1. Unusual strength in one or more areas. Possible national-level achievement or professional experience. A potential major contributor at Harvard. Truly unusual achievement.

  2. Strong secondary school contribution in one or more areas such as class president, newspaper editor, etc. Local or regional recognition; major accomplishment(s).[in another filing]: "Significant school, and possibly regional accomplishments: for example, an applicant who was the student body president or captain of the debate team and the leader of multiple additional clubs."

  3. Solid participation but without special distinction. (Upgrade 3+ to 2- in some cases if the e/c is particularly extensive and substantive.)

  4. Little or no participation.

  5. Substantial activity outside of conventional EC participation such as family commitments or term-time work (could be included with other e/c to boost the rating or left as a "5" if it is more representative of the student's commitment).

  6. Special circumstances limit or prevent participation (e.g. a physical condition).

Difference between 1 and 2: You have to achieve at a national/professional level in your activities in order to get a 1, simply being elite at a school or state level will not get you over a 2 in this category.

 

Athletic Rating (0.9% of applicants get a 1, 9.2% of applicants get a 2):

  1. Unusually strong prospect for varsity sports at Harvard, desired by Harvard coaches.

  2. Strong secondary school contribution in one or more areas; possible leadership role(s).

  3. Active participation.

  4. Little or no interest.

  5. Substantial activity outside of conventional EC participation such as family commitments or term-time work (could be included with other e/c to boost the rating or left as a "5" if it is more representative of the student's commitment).

  6. Physical condition prevents significant activity.

Difference between 1 and 2: Being recruited for a sport will get you a 1 here, but you can still help out your case a lot by being a strong non-recruited high school athlete and qualifying for a 2.

 

Personal Rating (0.0% of applicants -- or below 50 total every year -- get a 1, 20.8% of applicants get a 2):

  1. Outstanding

  2. Very Strong

  3. Generally Positive

  4. Bland or somewhat negative or immature

  5. Questionable personal qualities

  6. Worrisome personal qualities

Difference between 1 and 2: Way too vague to tell for sure, but some traits I often heard from Harvard alumni interviewers for students that received a 1 are "seemed like they would be amazing friends for their classmates", "didn't appear to treat college like a competition for grades", "wouldn't be intimidated by other bright and active people", and "memorable even 20-30 years later." Essentially, you must stand out as a person everyone wants to be around (which is highly subjective)... how you do that is really a unique thing for everyone

 

 

Chances of admission to Harvard based on these ratings:

  4. Athletic rating of 1, no other 1s: 88% admission rate

 

Multi-Dimensional (or "well-rounded") Candidates:

  1. Three ratings of 2, one rating of 3 or 4: 43% admission rate

  2. Four ratings of 2: 68% admission rate

 

Weaker Candidates:

  1. No ratings of 1 or 2: 0.1% admission rate
