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.
同學們,還不知道申請什麽大學嗎？你認識的朋友們都申請了同一所大學嗎？你知道在美國隻有18%的學生會根據排名來選擇大學嗎？為什麽呢？因為美國人知道U.S.News給出的不是官方排名，它是一個靠雜誌來盈利的私營機構。而且許多不同的雜誌和機構會給同一所大學不同的排名。
美國學生想知道，住在一個大學校園裏的生活是什麽樣的。他們想去選擇一所與他們興趣和價值取向一致，從而可以很好融入，很好發揮自身特色的學校。
