老师好,我想申请pomfret school,The Hun school of Princeton,Canterbury School,Brooks School,Lake forest academy,我托福在刷预计100多一点最多105差不多101到103之间。ssat来不及刷了,目前在美高Worcester Academy想转校9升10,GPA有点低差不多3.4。然后是橄榄球varsity的成员,8年级在美初拿到过最佳新秀有稳定上场时间,想知道还有没有希望?因为Worcester升学这几年太差了,实际情况finding school上没有。所以想转去其他好一点的学校不知道希望有多大,要是没希望我就做好10升10的准备了。
(1)The Hun school of Princeton(链接:https://www.hunschool.org/admission/admission-process) 明说了——“All applicants are required to submit some form of Standardized Testing results as a part of their official application.”
(2)Lake forest academy(链接:https://www.lfanet.org/admissions/apply) 明说了“Lake Forest Academy will be requiring testing as part of the application process this year. ”9-12年级,统统都要标化考试成绩。
Jennifer Mathews,国际招生主任, Syracuse University。她认为,“机构或大学通常会告诉学生有些申请材料是可选的(即test optional),事实也确实如此。然而,‘可选的’通常暗指大学是推荐你去准备的…”她虽是个人管见,又是大学,可美本、美高,都是美国人在办,难说他们之间思维上会有根本差异。
pomfret school可是这么说的(https://www.pomfret.org/admission/overview),“International applicants attending school in China, Hong Kong, or Taiwan are required to complete an in-person or remote interview with Vericant.”并且特别指出,“ In most instances, the Vericant interview will serve as the only interview for an applicant's file.”因此,你读美初、一年美高,能否免试维立克,需与该校招生办仔细确认,否则,你就没有面试了——申请资料不全,学校很可能压根儿不看你的申请。
