2022-2023年的申请季已经来到了,美国各大高中也更新了文书题目。小编在这边简单给大家介绍一下美高的三大申请系统并汇总优秀寄宿美高的文书变化。如果大家也在准备申请美国高中,可以一起看看今天的内容!
美国高中有3大申请系统,分别是SAO、Gateway、Ravenna。
SAO (The Standard Application Online)是SSAT的登录系统,是美高申请使用频率最高的系统,可以申请的学校数量也是最多的,共有超过800所学校。
Gateway申请比SAO复杂很多,不同学校要准备不同的申请材料,但Gateway文书更有针对性,可以向学校表现自己的诚意。
Ravenna主要是用来申请走读学校,教师推荐信需要老师自行提交,无形中给老师添加了很多工作量,所以用的人越来越少。
23Fall美国高中申请Essay题目发生了哪些变化?
1、Cate School凯特中学
• 变化:2、3题不同,引用名人名言,实际还是回答学生的经历。
题目:"Stories touch something that is human in us and is probably unchanging. Perhaps this is why parables -- the important knowledge -- is passed through stories. It's what holds a culture together. Culture has a story, and every person in it participates in that story. And so story and not facts are the way the world is made up." - Rachel Naomi Remen. At Cate, we value the stories that each of our community members brings to our school, and the act of sharing them binds us together. Tell us a story about your family, however you choose to define it, and let us know why it is important to you.
翻译:“故事触动了我们内心的人性,可能是不变的。也许这就是为什么寓言这种重要的知识是通过故事来传递的。它将一种文化凝聚在一起。文化蕴含故事,文化中的每个人都参与这个故事。所以世界是由故事而不是事实组成的。”——瑞秋·内奥米·莱梅。在凯特,我们重视学校里每个人带给我们学校的故事,通过分享这些故事,将我们联系在一起。告诉我们一个关于你的家庭的故事,无论你选择如何定义它,并让我们知道为什么它对你很重要。
题目:The writer Anna Quindlen said, "The thing that is really hard, and really amazing is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself." Tell us about a time that you learned something about who you really are when things didn't go as you had hoped. It can be a failure or a less-than-perfect moment, but help us understand what you learned in the process.
翻译:作家安娜·昆德兰(Anna Quindlen)说:“放弃追求完美,开始做自己,这真的很难,但也很了不起。”请告诉我们,通过一件没有如你所愿地发展的事情后,你对自己有哪些反思和自我认知。它可以是一次失败或不完美的时刻,请说明你在这个过程中学到了什么。
