主要是中国的9年级成绩合算成四年总的GPA时,美国大学评估时会特别关注你9年级的成绩。如果孩子特别优秀,三年的成绩都是A,SAT or ACT成绩也很高, 应该沒有什么影响。一般优秀的同学,如果你中国成绩门门是A,在美国的成绩不全是A,这种情况下,影响比较大。对大多数成绩中等的学生,应该沒有什么影响。
That depends on when you start high school in the US. For example, many colleges don’t take that much into account a student’s grades in G9. They normally look at 3 years (most important being G11 and first term of G12).
However, if the English standard is not that good, then the earlier you go to school in the US, the better. If your English is good, then G9 is ok since you can spend the time getting used to the curriculum and the way of teaching in the first year, then you start to run afterwards. But if the English standard is not good, you cannot even walk and so the more time that you have the better.
