标准化考试

STANDARDIZED TESTS

目前申请美国高中，学校普遍要求提供TOEFL和SSAT。

Salah: “Before the Test, spend about one hour a day over the course of several weeks as that is more effective than multiple hours each day. Give yourself time to practice each test before taking it. There are many preparatory courses, online services, and books to choose from, but no matter which route you select, make sure to take some timed practice tests before you take the actual test. This will help you gain familiarity with the exam and boost your confidence. Lastly, understand the scoring of the test you are taking and do not panic!

我的学术成绩中上，语言标化考试一直在八十多分徘徊。但我和父母都渴望去一所不错的美国寄宿中学。通过与藤门老师的合作，最终学术方面的不足通过其他方面得到了有效弥补。赴美面试前，美方老师和我一次次沟通，从面试礼仪到肢体语言一直到最后合影，写感谢邮件，面面俱到。最终我以并没有任何优势的语言成绩成功获得包括梦校在内的三所著名高中的橄榄枝。

课外活动

EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

相比较华而不实的简历，美国学校更看重的，是真正热爱一件事情并且愿意投入的人。

Kaya: “Extracurriculars provide insight into who you are as a person and what you can contribute to a community. Don’t fill your application with generic activities, instead pick two or three activities that you are passionate about and dedicate yourself to doing those activities as best as you can.”

学术成绩

ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE

即在校成绩单，是体现学生学术能力的直观材料，也是重要申请材料之一。美国中学申请一般需要最近三年成绩单，均分80分以上。Top前50虽没有明确GPA，但建议申请的学生每科成绩都在B（80-90分）

AK: “To stand out as an applicant, you should take challenging courses in Math, English, Science, History, and a Foreign Language. Not only will schools consider these courses for admission into their school, these courses will help you build basic skills that you are going to use all of your life. Don’t be afraid to challenge yourself, it will pay off in the long run!”

背景提升，对名校竟如此重要

为什么越来越多的优秀学生会被美国知名高中无情地拒绝？除了标化考试成绩，学生的课外活动起着举足轻重的作用。如果将“课外活动”局限于校内，那将难以脱颖而出。

文书

ESSAYS

在申请美国高中留学时，申请文书所要传达的最重要的一个内容即是申请主题。所谓申请主题，即通过挖掘自我生活来寻找素材，再通过素材反映申请者的个性和价值观。

Salah: “In my experience in Admissions, stellar essays include tangible evidence of a student’s passions. For example, a project, experiment, portfolio, or a venture on which they spent substantial time learning or creating. I encourage students to not just tell what their passions are, but to show the evidence in their essay.”

推荐信

LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION

推荐信是从第三者的立场来介绍、展示申请人的综合素质以及优秀品质，这对于学校衡量录取与否是非常重要的。

Salah: “Boarding schools use personal and teacher recommendations to add a more subjective and personal perspective to their assessment of your abilities, which can show aspects of your personality that don’t always come out on tests and papers. Therefore, choose teachers who can speak to your personal integrity, honesty, work-ethic, and your human side.”

你为什么没有被知名的美高录取？

其实申请知名美高的机会并不少，但是在激烈的竞争之下，每个学生发掘出自己的不同之处至关重要。如果连你都不知道自己有什么与众不同的地方，也不要指望学校的招生官会知道。

面试

INTERVIEW

面试作为美高申请者与校方的直接沟通，其重要性不言而喻。在访校面试环节中，学生需要穿着得体，彬彬有礼地与学校招办人员面谈，给学校留下好印象，增加被录取的可能性。

Kaya: “Research the school and prepare well before the interview. This will help familiarize yourself with basic questions about the school that you will be asked during the interview. As an International student, you potentially have a great advantage, because you bring a unique and different perspective to the school, so be confident, share your experience, and believe in yourself!”

在藤门的规划之下，我参加了意向学校的暑期课程，与来自世界各地的孩子一起交流。后来证明这个规划活动非常有用，不但提高了我的口语交流能力，也让我更加适应美国校园生活，和梦校的老师也混了个脸熟。在随后的文书创作中，美方老师帮我挖掘并展性格和个性特点；面试方面也提供了全程辅导和详细的安排。最终我获得了梦寐以求的中学的录取！
