First and foremost, college is a business, they are in the business to make a name and profit for themselves, educating your child is the byproduct.
so when one applies for college, one must view it from college prospect, not yours.
高校需要從你身上找到對他們的提升,just exactly like you are looking for 提升from them.
誰能對頂級私校提供提升:
1),富貴、權貴家庭背景的孩子;
2),體育生。華人小看了體育生,體育生在美國文化裏是上升的快速通道;
3),學術頂級大牛娃,未來各行各業的希望;
4),各種藝術頂級大牛娃,等同於上麵的學術頂級大牛娃;
5),然後是各種URM、DEI、FGLI、LGTB。為什麽?因為這是各種排名和教育部撥款考核非常重要的指標。you get what you reward.
6),敢把造假做到極致的。
所以,總之,然後,非第一代中產小中直男如果2、3、4、6裏不占一項,高中成績再好、標考再高,也很難擠進T5.
這才是BS holistic review的全部精髓。
砸吧。
