4. Yale University
What Yale Looks For!
1.Who would make the most of the extraordinary resources assembled here, those with a zest to stretch the limits of their talents, and those with an outstanding public motivation – in other words, applicants with a concern for something larger than themselves.
充分利用耶魯資源的人,那些熱衷于發(fā)揮自己才能極限的人,有悲憫之心,關(guān)心比自己更大的事情。
2.Decade after decade, Yalies have set out to make our world better. We are looking for students we can help to become the leaders of their generation in whatever they wish to pursue.
領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力,在耶魯?shù)膸椭?,可以成為他們這一代人的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者,無(wú)論他們想追求什么。
3.Academic Ability:academic strength is our first consideration in evaluating any candidate. The single most important document in your application is your high school transcript. We look for students who have consistently taken a broad range of challenging courses in high school and have done well.
學(xué)術(shù)實(shí)力是第一評(píng)估要素,高中成績(jī)單上的學(xué)術(shù)表現(xiàn)最為重要,高中選擇廣泛的有挑戰(zhàn)的課程
4.Teacher evaluations: Not only do they discuss your performance in their particular class or classes, but often they write about such things as your intellectual curiosity, energy, relationships with classmates, and impact on the classroom environment. Obviously it is important to ask for recommendations from teachers who know you well.
課程老師的評(píng)價(jià)推薦,體現(xiàn)對(duì)學(xué)術(shù)好奇、熱情、跟同學(xué)的關(guān)系以及對(duì)課堂環(huán)境的影響。
5.Counselor recommendation: provide us with a picture of your place in your high school class and in the larger school community. Your counselor can help us assess the degree of difficulty of your program, tell us what a particular leadership position means at your school, provide information on your background, and, in general, provide the sort of textured comments about you that would help your application come to life.
Counselor 推薦信,展示在課堂和更大的學(xué)校組織中所表現(xiàn)出的品質(zhì),如就讀項(xiàng)目的課程難度、在學(xué)校的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力職位、申請(qǐng)人的背景等信息。
6. test score ranges (25th to 75th percentiles) for enrolled first-years were:
SAT-Evidence-Based Reading and Writing: 720-770
SAT-Math: 740-790
ACT Composite: 33-35
( it is safe to say that performance in school is more important than testing, it is unlikely that high standardized test scores will persuade the admissions committee to disregard an undistinguished secondary-school record.)
SAT/ACT 成績(jī),需要注意,耶魯明確指出更看重在校成績(jī)。
7.Essays: The Yale application tries to get at the personal side of the applicant through the use of several short essays whose scope is broad enough to accommodate most writers.
We encourage you to take the writing of the essays seriously and to write openly and honestly about activities, interests, or experiences that have been meaningful to you. What is most important is that you write in your own voice. If an essay doesn’t sound like the person who writes it, it cannot serve very well as a personal statement. As with every document in the application, we read essays very carefully and try to get a full sense of the human being behind them.
申請(qǐng)文書
8.Describing the process of selecting future Yale students, President Kingman Brewster once wrote , “I am inclined to believe that the person who gives every ounce to do something superbly has an advantage over the person whose capacities may be great but who seems to have no desire to stretch them to their limit.” Within the context of each applicant’s life and circumstances, we look for that desire and ability to stretch one’s limits.
那些竭盡全力去做出色事情的人比那些能力可能很強(qiáng)但似乎沒有欲望的人更有優(yōu)勢(shì)。

What Penn looks for?
Comprehensive Review 綜合全面評(píng)估

Holistic evaluation enables the Admissions Selection Committee to have robust conversations about applicants’ record of academic excellence and intellectual curiosity, range of interests and hobbies, leadership skills, and potential impact on our campus. We strive to understand each applicant as a potential Penn classmate, leader, roommate, and citizen. We look beyond GPAs and test scores to capture the intangible qualities each candidate will bring to our campus community.
