首先,很抱歉没有给学生一个详细的选校原因,引发了了大家的讨论,在这里,我具体说一下选校原因,希望学生可以受用:学生目前托福94分,再考一次,希望可以冲刺到100分以上。
学生自己给出的学校较为保守,综合学生自己描述的情况,我给出以上几所综合水平较高的学校,希望可以作为已有选校补充。
Suffield Academy: 学校招生官Terry告诉我,学校录取TOEFL成绩最低分是60,但学校希望申请者托福达到90分。
托福94分,完全可以尝试申请Suffield. 另外, Suffield更加愿意录取有美国学习经验的中国学生和各方面都有突出表现的学生(高GPA,有能力特长等)。
之所以称其为保底学校,是在翻译时有些误导和歧义,事实上是想表示,这所学校在我们推荐的所有学校中,学生申请到的几率最大。
“…calling this a 保底学校 is a little confusing. They absolute TOEFL minimum is 60 but due to the HUGE # of applicants from China, they really want people over 90. They have a girl from Kazakstan who is 60, but this is a deliberate attempt to diversify their international group. A 94 TOEFL will make them an appealing choice for the school. That having been said, as one of a large # of Chinese people applying, they will prefer Chinese students who have study abroad experience already and still need to be that well rounded students, to get in…”。
