今年是不是比较难，不好说，但这几个例子真的不说明啥。
MARK
AP 4分并不是什么不好的成绩，但我同意你说的这几个例子不能说明啥。
真相了
但是AP课算GPA算5分，普通课算四分，AP课上的比别人少，算GPA就会比上的多的同学差不少，几门AP不重要，难道学校GPA也不重要吗？
同困惑，到底什么重要？
大家说的不是一回事。你说的是AP的课 - honor的课（还有其他一些特别的课）也在weighed GPA里A算5分。但这个weighed GPA实际上并不是那么重要。
这楼里其他地方，说的是college board的AP考试。你可以上AP课，但不参加AP考试；也可以不上AP课，但自己参加AP考试。。。
admission officer 认为什么重要，那么什么就重要：（
讲真，AP4分就别上AP了 lol
上还是可以上的，上了自然也可以去考，但没考到5分，还拿出来作为incredible stats的例子，这个就比较脱离现实了。。。
还真是这样的 进top school除了看学生做的好不好 还得看命 所以躺平点比较好
肤色啊，猪党上台aa变本加利了

除了legacy 哈佛收的亚裔并不少，更别说白人，这么张口就来真没意思
你川竹在任的时候华裔有任何改善了吗？
倒是白宫实习生成了清一色白人
川普在任的时候，老百姓包括亚裔的日子比现在好过多了。看来你还是比较喜欢现在物价飞涨，治安糟糕的美好生活。

买了 TRUMP card 吗？
从哪贴过来的？里面还有脏话。
感觉sat 不到1570没戏啊。
楼主贴里哪有黑人女孩？
学校成绩单，就算有几个B也不差嘛。。。
这当然不“差”，但肯定不能算“incredible stats”，对吧？
这个倒真无所谓。

很左。
是啊，这些都是校内的club。不过，我觉得在club能当leader还是相对来说得有能力吧。 倒是那种做internship，进selective的义工活动当个什么，这种反倒不能说明真的有leadership能力，很多是靠父母network。
确实是。没有必要迎合名校，没有多大的意义。 不过还是不能躺平，该打好基础的还是要要求孩子学好。
即使她牛逼的议员candidates intern 靠爸妈那也是她未来的政治资本啊！
哈佛肯定喜欢这样的。因为她肯定比那么USACO 的更有政治前途，当个什么领袖。哈佛需要这样的STAT 。
哎。小中南怎么这么难。要不曲线救国送他去英国什么的读书算了。

我儿子ED Northwestern double major 进了
黑黑墨墨 第一代大学生 贫困生 LGBT Legacy 这些都有吗。没有光看Stats没用
其他先别说。superhero卡要买它百来张吧，才能表达自己的感恩之情。
先说结果，那就是 录取又又又又又变难了！
今年的申请者基本上完整经历了整个疫情，在活动、考试、面试、访校等方方面面都受到阻碍，早申录取数据相较往年略显惨淡。拿哈佛来说，昨天他们公布了今年的早申数据， 今年哈佛共收到9553份申请，但只有722位学生被录取，7.5%的录取率，创下历史新低！今年早申阶段，大陆仅有一名来自常熟UWC的学生被哈佛录取。录取率再创新低的还有 耶鲁，7744名早申学生最终录取了 776 人，录取率降至10%。这是耶鲁近20年来，录取率历史最低的一年。大陆仅有4名学生被耶鲁录取。相较往年早申减少一半。同样的情况还有康奈尔大学，康奈尔向来是对中国学生最慷慨的藤校，而今年早申录取人数骤减，据不完全统计，去年约有40+的中国学生在ED阶段被录取， 今年约有25名中国学生被录取，人数骤降。
这些数据意味着优秀的孩子越来越多，而名校的入学名额恒定不变，想要 脱颖而出的难度也在增加。
T5进去专业在第二年才declare，随便选。目标学校不同，从小努力的方向就不同，藤校看EC/义工/leadership，旗舰州立主要看成绩，各有千秋，看孩子适合什么。
CS也这么搞，不是小中男的这种生源有用吗？
恭喜
普林的吗？隔壁west windsor听说录了二三十个藤校
