· GPA is not standardized across schools or eventeachers as each teacher determines grading
學分績不是跨校甚至跨教師標準化的，每個教師自定評分標準
§ Outside of school, there are many opportunities to develop learning, such as math/humanities circles, summer camps, math competitions, Splash, etc.
校外有很多學習機會，比如數學/人文圈，夏令營，數學競賽，Splash,等等。
o UK英國
§ Achievement is mainly measured through standardized exams (GCSE at the age of 16, and A-levels at the age of 18). Your classes are to prepare you for these exams

- University Admissions大學錄取
o Choosing what universities to apply to選擇申請的學校
§ In US, you can apply to as many as you want
在美國，你想申請多少就可以申請多少
· Many of them will be on common app, others, like UC system, will have its own application portal
很多學校可通過通用申請，其它的比如加州大學係統有自己的申請通道
· You must pay an application fee to each university you apply to
申請的每個大學都要交申請費
· Each university can set its own essays and supplementals in addition to the Common App essay
除了通用申請文章外，每個大學還要求有自己的一套作文和補充材料
o Many of these essays allow applicants an opportunity to be creative and to show their personality and backstory
許多這些文章允許學生有機會展示創造性、個性和背後的故事
§ In the UK, students must choose a subject to study at university (a course) when applying. You can only apply to 5 universities or courses
在英國，學生在申請時必須選擇專業，可以申請5個大學或專業
· You can only apply to 1 of Oxford or Cambridge in any particular application year
在同一年，牛津劍橋隻能申請其中之一
· You will apply on a centralized portal called UCAS. All universities in the UK are part of UCAS. UCAS will charge you one fee.
申請通過一個叫UCAS的統一係統，英國所有大學都在此係統內，UCAS隻收一份錢
§ There will only be one essay, the UCAS personal statement. In this statement, you will discuss why you have chosen the subject you want to study at university level. Unlike US essays, this is not about personality, and is more factual in style。
隻有一篇作文，就是UCAS個人陳述。此陳述隻討論你為何選擇此專業。與美國不同，這篇作文與個性無關，隻是事實表述。
o Test考試
§ In the US, you should take SAT/ACT. However, a growing number of colleges and universities are becoming SAT/ACT-optional. You can also take AP tests, but these are more of a bonus, if anything, to your application and are not as important as SAT/ACT. They can later be used at many universities to transfer credits/skip to a higher level.
在美國，你要考SAT或者ACT。然而越來越多的大學不要求。你也可以考AP考試，但這些對申請來說僅是錦上添花，不如SAT或ACT重要，它們在未來上大學時可以用來頂學分或跳級到高級班。
§ Oxbridge will test applicants using their own test. This is a good way to standardize their applicants.
牛劍有自己的選拔考試，這是一種對申請人標準化的好方式
· The specific test you will take depends on what you are applying for. For example, many social science applicants at Oxford will take the Thinking Skills Assessment (TSA), while Physics and Engineering applicants will take the Physics Aptitude Test (PAT), etc.
考試的種類取決於你申請的方向，比如，許多申請牛津的社科類學生需要考思維技能評估考試（TSA），而物理和工程類申請人需要考物理能力測試（PAT），等等
§ Other UK universities do not conduct additional testing. They will just rely on scores such as A-level or international equivalent (which, for applicants from the US, are AP and SAT)
其他英國大學不進行額外的測試。他們將隻依賴於諸如A-level 或國際同等水平的分數（對於來自美國的申請人來說，是AP 和 SAT）
o Interviews麵試
§ In the US, college interviews are optional and conducted by alumni. They are used as a means to measure student interest in the college as well as gauge their personality traits.
在美國，大學麵試是可選項，由校友進行。它們被用來衡量學生對大學的興趣以及衡量他們的個性特征
§ In the UK, interviews are only typically conducted at good universities such as Oxbridge. They are actually professional/subject based rather than personality based and are conducted by the professors. The student will be given problems to solve and academic questions to share their opinions about.
在英國，麵試通常隻在牛津劍橋這樣的好大學進行。它們實際上是基於專業/學科而不是基於個性的，並且由教授進行。學生要解決給出的問題並就學術問題分享意見。
o Well-roundedness (academic) 全麵性（學術）
§ In US, applicants should have good grades across the board to have the best chance at admission. A key measure used is GPA
在美國，申請者應該全麵取得好成績才能獲得最好的錄取機會。使用的關鍵衡量標準是GPA
§ In the UK, they look at your A-level predicted results (predicted by your teacher) as well as your GCSEs.
在英國，他們會查看您的A-level 預測結果（由您的老師預測）以及您的GCSE成績。
· You should try to have good GCSEs, but if you are not strong in certain subjects, you still have a good chance (especially since you are probably not studying that at A-level, or applying for a university course related to that)
您應該嚐試獲得良好的GCSE，但如果您在某些科目上不強，您仍然有很好的機會（特別是因為您可能沒有在A-level 學習該課程，或申請與此相關的大學課程）
o E.g. if you are applying for math but did not do well in history at GCSE
例如如果您正在申請數學，但在GCSE 的曆史學習成績不佳
· The main focus in admissions is your aptitude and passion for the specific subject you are studying.
招生的主要重點是您對所學習的特定學科的天賦和熱情。
· Entry requirements入學要求
o In the UK, there will be specific entry requirements when applying. For example, to study English at Oxford, you must achieve AAA in your A-level exams, and you must have taken English A-level.
在英國，會有特定的申請要求。例如，要在牛津學習英語，您必須在A-level 考試中達到AAA，並且您必須參加英語A-level考試。
o Many STEM subjects require you to have done A-level mathematics, physics, etc. and to have achieved A* in at least one STEM subject.
許多理工科科目要求您完成A-level 數學、物理等，並在至少一門理工科科目中取得A*。
o So if you are not predicted to achieve this, or if you are not even taking the specific subjects it needs, you should not apply for that university course. Your application will not be considered.
因此，如果您預計無法實現這一目標，或者您甚至沒有參加所需的特定科目，則不應申請該大學專業。您的申請將不會被考慮。
o Role of extracurriculars and non-academic factors課外活動和非學術因素的作用
§ In the US, admissions are carried out holistically, and extracurriculars play an important role in a student’s application, as they serve to showcase leadership skills.
在美國，招生實行的是全麵綜合的方式，課外活動在學生的申請中發揮著重要作用，因為它們有助於展示領導技能。
· Often high schoolers in the US might try to participate in many activities in order to pad their resume when applying to college
美國的高中生通常會嚐試參加許多活動以在申請大學時充實他們的簡曆
o In this sense, the US admissions system values passion, but this is sometimes “fake”
從這個意義上說，美國招生係統重視熱忱，但這有時是“假的”
o Students can get recruited for outstanding athletic ability
學生可因運動能力突出而被錄用
§ In the UK, extracurriculars and sports do not play a role in admissions. Only academics, and particularly passion for the specific subject that is being applied for, matters. An applicant may mention extracurriculars briefly in the personal statement to show they are human, but this is not given much weight.
在英國，課外活動和體育活動在招生中沒有作用。隻有學術，尤其是對所申請的特定學科的熱情，才是最重要的。申請人可以在個人陳述中簡要提及課外活動以表明他們是鮮活的個體，但這並沒有太大的作用。
§ Legacy校友子女
· In the US, legacy and a family’s wealth can give a student preferential treatment in the admissions process
在美國，校友子女和家庭財富可以在錄取過程中給予學生優先待遇
· In the UK, legacy is not considered at all
在英國，根本不考慮校友子女
o For example, Prime Minister David Cameron’s son eventually was unable to go to Oxford. Many members of the royal family also could not attend Oxbridge
例如，首相戴維·卡梅倫的兒子最終無法去牛津。許多王室成員也未能被牛津劍橋錄取
o Offers錄取通知
§ In the US, you will receive offers. It is very rare for these offers to be rescinded, but sometimes they might be if you do very badly at the end of your senior year, commit a crime or a scandal, etc. This is because the universities already have a lot of information about your academics throughout high school, including last semester’s grades.
在美國，您的錄取通知被撤銷的情況非常罕見，但有時如果你在大四結束時表現非常糟糕，有犯罪或醜聞等，它們可能會被撤銷。這是因為大學已經有很多關於你整個高中的學習成績，包括最後一學期的成績。
§ In the UK, unless you apply after finishing your A-level exams (e.g., during a gap year after high school), university offers are almost always conditional upon certain exam results being attained
在英國，除非您完成了A-level考試後申請（例如，在高中畢業後的間隔年期間），否則大學錄取幾乎總是以達到某些考試成績為條件
· E.g. Oxford will often offer AAA (which means you must get a grade of A or higher on 3 of your A-level exams)
例如牛津通常會要求AAA（這意味著您必須在3 門 A-level考試中獲得 A 或更高的成績）
· Of course, it is not possible for the condition to be lower than the entry requirement. In some cases, it could be more strict, but this is usually not the case. Conditional requirements track very closely with the entry requirements for each course.
當然，條件不可能低於申請要求。在某些情況下，它可能更嚴格，但通常情況並非如此。有條件錄取的要求與每門課程的申請要求密切相關。
· If the entry requirement includes A or A* in a certain subject, e.g. maths or computer science, they will make this part of the conditional offer as well.
如果申請要求在某個科目中包含A 或 A*，例如數學或計算機科學，他們也會將這部分納入有條件錄取通知書。
· If you do not meet the conditions, your offer will be rescinded.
如果您不符合條件，您的錄取將被取消。
· When choosing your offers, you can make a “Firm” and an “Insurance” choice. For example, if you get into Cambridge but they require A*AA from you, then you can put this as your Firm choice, meaning it is your top choice. You also have an offer from King’s College London, which requires AAA. You can put this as your Insurance choice, so if you achieve AAA but not A*AA, you will go to King’s.
在選擇錄取的學校時，您可以選擇“夢校”和“保底學校”。例如，如果你得到劍橋的有條件錄取，但他們要求你A*AA，那麽你可以把它作為你的夢校，這意味著它是你的首選。您還有倫敦國王學院的錄取通知書，要求AAA。你可以把它作為你的保底學校，所以如果你達到AAA 但沒有達到A*AA，你就去國王學院。
· If you do not even get AAA, then you can go on Clearing, which is for last-minute matching with universities, and find more courses.
如果你連AAA都沒有，那麽你可以進入清場程序（Clearing），這是與大學的最後一分鍾匹配，可以找到更多的專業。
· A fair amount of people miss their offers, and will either have to go to a backup university, or might take a gap year and try to apply again next year.
相當多的人失去了他們的錄取，他們要麽不得不去後備大學，要麽可能需要間隔年在來年重新申請。
- University System大學係統
o Length of degree學製
§ In US, typically 4 years. You may graduate later, or if you are fast/transferred credits, you may be able to graduate earlier.
在美國，通常為4 年。你可能會晚畢業，或者如果你拿學分很快或有轉的學分，你可能可以提前畢業。
§ In England, 3 years for a bachelor’s degree. Many STEM subjects have a fourth undergraduate year, but you graduate with an integrated masters. You do not need to apply for the fourth year, you get in when you initially applied. As long as you meet minimum grades, you can continue.
在英格蘭，學士學位需要3年。許多理工科都有第四個本科年，但你畢業時獲得了綜合碩士學位。您不需要在第四年申請，您可以在最初申請時就進入這個項目了。隻要達到最低成績，就可以繼續第四年。
§ (N.B.: The Scottish university system is a bit different from the rest of the UK. Though the application is done through a similar process, Scotland differs from other UK universities in that it takes 4 years rather than 3 for undergrad degrees but grants a Scottish undergraduate masters (MA).)
（注意：蘇格蘭大學係統與英國其他地區略有不同。雖然申請是通過類似的過程完成的，但蘇格蘭與其他英國大學的不同之處在於，本科學位需要4 年而不是 3 年，但授予蘇格蘭本科碩士（MA）。
o Cost費用
§ US has public and private universities
美國有公立和私立大學
· Public: if you are in-state, you will benefit from cheaper tuition. For example, if you are from California going to a UC, tuition (not including room and board) is $14,100. If you are out of state, it will be more expensive, but probably not as expensive as many private universities. UC out of state tuition: $43,900
公立：如果您在州內，您將受益於更便宜的學費。例如，如果您從加州上加州大學，則學費（不包括食宿）為14,100 美元。如果你在州外，它會更貴，但可能不像許多私立大學那麽貴。加州大學州外學費：$43,900
· Private: More expensive. Harvard is $51k, Stanford is $55k
私人：更貴。哈佛5.1 萬美元，斯坦福5.5 萬美元
· Room and board in US universities can be very expensive.
美國大學的食宿可能非常昂貴。
§ UK is cheaper – around 9000 pounds for UK students, around 25,000 GBP for international students
英國更便宜——英國學生大約 9000 英鎊, 國際學生大約25,000 英鎊
o Specialization專業
§ In USA, you can choose major when applying, but you can also switch or declare later during your university career
在美國，申請時可以選擇專業，但也可以在大學生涯後期更換或決定專業
· You usually don’t need to declare until end of sophomore year
通常在大二結束之前不需要申報
· A large amount of students change their minds
大量學生改變主意
· Depending on the college/university, you may have required (or core) courses outside of your major/minor, but no matter what, you will definitely have the opportunity to take electives, whether or not they are related to your major
根據學院/大學的不同，您可能有主修/輔修以外的必修（或核心）課程，但無論如何，您肯定有機會上選修課，無論它們與您的專業是否相關
§ In England, you must choose a subject as your “course” (England’s version of major) when applying
在英國，你必須在申請時選擇一門學科作為你的“課程”（英國版的專業）
· It is very difficult to change your course once you start – often if you change your mind, you may have to drop out and start over again
一旦開始就很難改變你的專業——通常如果你改變主意，你可能不得不退學並重新開始申請
· Once you start your course, you only take classes related to it. For example, if you study mathematics, you will not (and may not) take any history courses.
一旦你開始你的專業，你隻需要學習與它相關的課程。例如，如果您學習數學，您將不會（也可能不會）參加任何曆史課程。
· There is opportunity for further specialization or selection within the subject area being studied, however
在所研究的學科領域內有進一步專業化或選擇的機會，但是
o For example, in Oxford engineering, you can narrow down and choose a specialty for the last 2 years
例如，在牛津工程學中，您可以在最後2 年縮小範圍選擇專業
o In PPE, everyone takes the same courses in first year. After that, students might choose different modules within philosophy, politics, and economics.
在 PPE 中，每個人在第一年都參加相同的課程。之後，學生可以選擇哲學、政治和經濟學中的不同模塊。
§ (N.B.: In Scotland, you can take classes outside your course of study, and it is easier to change. In fact, the US liberal arts system is partially modeled upon the Scottish university experience.)
（注意：在蘇格蘭，你可以上專業之外的課，而且也容易換專業。事實上，美國的文理學院就部分模仿了蘇格蘭大學的經驗。）
§ Because the system in the UK, is more specialized, students can start law/medical/dentistry school straight after high school, just like any other course. (Of course, they can also apply after doing another university degree). In the US, these professional schools are only reserved for the graduate level.
因為英國的係統更加專業化，學生可以在高中畢業後直接開始法律/醫學/牙科學校，就像任何其他專業一樣（當然，他們也可以在完成大學學位後申請）。在美國，這些專業隻保留給研究生級別。
o University Life大學生活
§ In US, universities usually have a campus, with classrooms, dorms, athletic centers, dining halls, libraries, and other amenities
在美國，大學通常有校園，有教室、宿舍、運動中心、餐廳、圖書館和其他設施
· Students live and work here and spend most of their time here
學生在這裏生活和工作，大部分時間都在這裏度過
· Dorm experience: shared room
宿舍體驗：有共享房間
§ In UK, the university is often integrated into the city, with no physical “campus” area
在英國，大學通常與城市融為一體，沒有具體的“校園”區域
· With the exception of Oxbridge and Durham, which have colleges similar to mini-campuses, there are no dormitories on campus
除牛劍和Durham有類似迷你校園的學院外，校園內沒有宿舍
· Many universities might provide an option to rent accommodation directly from the university, but this is usually only for first-years and not next to the classroom areas
許多大學可能會提供直接從大學租用住宿的選項，但這通常隻是給新生且不在教室附近
· You might rent from private student accommodation providers, or rent an apartment or house with friends in the university city
您可能會從私人學生住宿供應商處租房，或者在大學城與朋友一起租公寓或房子
o Teaching教學
§ In the US, classes are taught via lecture and seminar
在美國，課程是通過講座和研討會教授的
§ Some universities (such as liberal arts colleges) are mainly focused on undergraduate teaching
部分大學（如文理學院）以本科教學為主
§ In the UK, this is often also the case, however, in Oxbridge, there is also a special system called the tutorial or supervision system, in which 1-3 students are paired with a tutor (professor) and have weekly discussions.
在英國，情況也經常如此，但是，在牛津劍橋，還有一個特殊的係統稱為導師製或督導係統，其中1-3 名學生與導師（教授）配對，每周進行討論。
§ In the UK all universities are research universities, whereas in the US many (such as liberal arts colleges) are mainly focused on undergraduate teaching.
在英國，所有大學都是研究型大學，而在美國，許多大學（如文理學院）主要專注於本科教學。
o Grading評分
§ US美國
· You will receive a grade in each class you take, then have a GPA out of 4.0 (similar to high school). Sometimes you will also have a Major GPA (average for all classes you took related to your major).
您將在每門課程中獲得一個成績，然後獲得一個滿分為4.0的GPA（類似於高中）。有時，您還會獲得專業GPA（您參加的與專業相關的所有課程的平均值）。
§ UK英國
· The grade you receive at the end of your degree is only based on exams, and sometimes large pieces of coursework such as research project/thesis/dissertation.
您在學位結束時獲得的成績僅基於考試，有時會基於大的課程作業，例如研究項目/論文。
o Lecture attendance does not matter
上課出席率無關緊要
o Exams do not happen on a regular basis, they happen maybe once per year or even less – for example, a set of cumulative exams at the end of your degree.
考試不是定期舉行的，它們可能每年舉行一次甚至更少——例如，在畢業前進行一係列總考試。
· Instead of GPA, your final results will be averaged and then classified into different classes of degree. The highest is first class, which requires around 70% minimum. This is considered extremely good. Beneath this is second class, third class, pass, fail.
不同於GPA，您的最終成績將取平均值，然後分為不同的學位等級。最高的是頭等，最低要求約為70%。這被認為是超級好。下麵是二等、三等、通過、失敗。
- Top Universities頂級大學
o US美國
§ HYPSM哈佛、耶魯、普林斯頓、斯坦福、麻省理工學院
§ Ivy League常春藤聯盟
§ Top 20 前20
o UK英國
§ Oxbridge牛劍
§ Loxbridge (Golden Triangle – London’s top universities, Oxford, Cambridge)
倫牛劍（金三角–倫敦的牛校，牛津，劍橋）
§ Russell Group (24 universities) 羅素集團（24所大學）
· Not necessarily top 24 in rankings, but usually correlate to this
不一定排名前24，但通常很相關
· E.g. St Andrews is not in Russell Group but is one of the top UK universities
例如聖安德魯斯大學不屬於羅素集團，但卻是英國頂尖大學之一
- Takeaways for the Chinese education system
對中國教育係統的啟示
o The gaokao is a very objective way to measure student achievement and determine admissions. However, in school, China should seek to also prioritize student wellbeing. With children spending so much time preparing for the gaokao exam, they do not have time to relax or develop any passions or interests or soft skills.
高考是衡量學生成績和決定錄取的一種非常客觀的方式。然而，在學校方麵，中國也應該尋求優先考慮學生的福祉。孩子們花這麽多時間準備高考，他們沒有時間放鬆或培養任何激情、興趣或軟技能。
o China should not necessarily emulate the US’s holistic admissions approach. The UK has been successful in its straightforward approach, without legacy or preferential treatment, and this can ensure that admission is objective and based on merit.
中國不一定要效仿美國的整體考察的招生方式。英國在其直截了當的招生方法中取得了成功，沒有校友子女或優惠待遇，這可以確保錄取是客觀的、唯才是舉。
o China can do well with the opportunities to support students’ learning that are available in the US, such as math circles and contests, etc.
中國可以效法美國，提供支持學生學習的機會，例如數學圈和競賽等。
o Gifted programs have been very fruitful for China. While they are becoming less commonplace in the US, China should maintain these programs, as it is important for a nation to have outstanding scholars and leaders.
資優項目對中國非常有成效。雖然這在美國變得越來越式微，但中國應該保持這些項目，因為擁有傑出的學者和領軍人物對一個國家來說很重要。
o The Chinese schooling system gives students a solid background in STEM. China should seek to maintain this advantage to continue to be a global leader in education.
中國教育體係為學生提供了堅實的STEM 背景。中國應該尋求保持這一優勢，繼續成為全球教育的領導者。
o Chinese system is weak in humanities education. Instead of rote memorization, training on critical thinking should be strengthened.
中國的人文教育薄弱。應加強批判性思維的培養，而不是滋養死記硬背。
o China has lots to learn from the US’s college system. The US system’s encouragement of exploration, and the ability to take classes with a variety of people, rather than a set cohort of students going through similar sets of classes, allows students a bit of breadth and the opportunity to foster intellectual curiosity in various areas. It also puts students in good stand to identify interdisciplinary interests and solve societal problems in creative ways using these learnings.
中國有很多東西可以向美國的大學係統學習。美國係統鼓勵探索，並且能夠與不同的人一起上課，而不是一組學生上類似的課程，這讓學生有一定的廣度和機會在各個領域培養求知欲。它還使學生能夠很好地識別跨學科興趣，並利用所學以創造性的方式解決社會問題。
o Both the UK and the US value career-based learning, and students often partake in internships and work experience during their college years, or even in high school. China has yet to take advantage of this opportunity for young people to develop vocational skills and to create links between the academic and professional worlds.
英國和美國都重視以職業為基礎的學習，學生經常在大學期間甚至高中期間參與實習和有工作經驗。中國尚未利用這個機會讓年輕人發展職業技能，並在學術和專業之間建立聯係。
o While the US system is well-rounded, there is the critique that students graduate as generalists without enough depth or expertise in a particular area. On the other hand, the UK is known for its early specialization and possible “narrowness”. China should seek to blend UK and US formats. For some students who have the passion and aptitude for a specific subject, opportunities should be given to them to develop this skill and become very good. However, for students who cannot decide at such a young age what to specialize in, there should be flexibility to explore different subject areas.
雖然美國的係統是全麵培養，但也有人批評學生畢業時通才有餘，在特定領域沒有足夠的深度或專業知識。另一方麵，英國以其過早專業化和可能的“狹隘”而聞名。中國應該尋求融合英國和美國的模式。對於一些對特定學科有熱情和天賦的學生，應該給他們機會發展這種技能並臻於完善。然而，對於年少無法決定專攻什麽的學生來說，應該有允其探索不同學科領域的靈活度。
o China should have more exchange programs to the UK and US in order to experience a broader worldview and a different education system.
中國應該有更多的與英美的交流項目，以體驗更廣闊的世界觀和不同的教育體係。
