【兒子一個同學考上牛津的一點經驗】

(2009-08-22 16:16:28) 下一個

和這裏的父母分享隻為咱們華人孩子上好學校總結經驗、竅門和捷徑,別無它意。

兒子有個同學,也是個小中,聰明是很聰明,但平時念書不認真,常忘了交作業,寫

PAPER什麽的也不當回事兒,高中四年下來GPA 不怎麽高,估計因為上課稀鬆,老師對他印象也一般般,課外活動什麽的也乏陳可述。按美國大學申請的要求的主要幾項:ESSAYGPA,推薦信,課外活動,他都不在前列。

可他有一條優勢,會考試,

SAT考的很好,可在美國光SAT成績好也沒用。他父母一急之下想到了歐洲的好大學,據說牛津劍橋的錄取隻看入學考試,和國內高考似的,加上參照SAT。他結果考英國的考試考的極好,一舉被牛津和劍橋雙雙錄取(好像是)

在美國他也報考了一堆學校結果連伯克利都沒取,更別提藤校什麽的了。

這個經驗可以用於有類似背景,明年要報考的孩子,象

GPA什麽的已經無法補救了,但申請其它國家的好學校是條好的出路,尤其想牛津劍橋一類的,還是很值得的。

下麵是兒子學校今年的錄取詳情,學校的分組有我個人主觀因素,請大家別介意
