hook就是这些：a legacy student, a student-athlete, a first generation, an underrepresented minority student, a student with a connection to a current or potential university donor, or a very talented student in a specific area 别人家孩子，不想讲太多。具体个例也没什么意义。 州大就是大家在版上说的那些耳熟能详的几家。不是加大。

得D的确是个硬伤
这ED是啥意思？
得看pool，如果大家都是A，那就影响。如果你在Asian pool里算高的了，就没事儿。有些老师就是给分低，全班平均B的不少见
全A，SAT1580，特长：数学，音乐。具体得奖与否不知。长期在mathnasium/kumon做tutor。录取：州大CS。 有一个B。SAT1490。特长：音乐。有特殊hook。录取：州大工程，学费减半。外州CS被拒。 全A。SAT不知。特长：音乐。录取：州大cybersecurity.
是什么州大？ 什么hook?

感觉UC的录取一直让人搞不懂，其它的不算太出乎意料。JHU RD一直比ED难进很多，特别是跟生物医学相关的专业，西北和芝大的录取也不怎么favor竞赛娃，他这个profile对MIT确实不够，被WL已经很不错了。我觉得现在申请就是要多打枣，他的USNCO high honor是一个不错的spike, 如果申请了很多T20/藤校的话，还是很有可能下周被其中至少一个好学校录取的，这个D应该没太大问题。
👍
你说得都很合理啊。芝加哥大学最著名的是经济系，西北最著名的是新闻系，他们如何能亲睐竞赛娃？竞赛娃应该选mit Caltech, 卡内基梅隆，这种地方吧。John Hopkins 这么著名培养医生的地方，学生物的打破头都想去。
UC没有，不看9年级的成绩。
这个问题太让人焦虑了
还以为你故意的。问这种general的问题用公共马甲。：）
学校也有A+吗？如果unweighted GPA不是cap在4.0，我觉得无所谓。因为A-可以用A+平掉。
我知道有朋友孩子有B的，但是她很多A+，rank不错，申请没影响。
Michigan访校的时候说他们把a- 当a算
UC也一样，不算加减号。
我们娃同学很不忿他拿到LA WL, 因为stats比他好都是直据。还不忿一个中等娃拿到USC! 其实那个娃家里巨有钱，我觉得很符合USC人设。有个娃stats没毛病，全聚德只拿到SC WL, 外州倒是有offer但是比较鸡肋。
他们在商量一起去SB, 虽然都没想enroll, 但想去玩一下。
我娃拿了usc，但是被bu给waitlist了，都是报的communication/journalism专业。我们一直认为bu应该是最有把握的，哈哈 只能说大学录取真的是玄学，没啥好不忿的
有chatgpt，读新闻学就没啥用
mark
被CMU COE 录了，在等Ivies和Stanford.
听起来物理很厉害？
人生是长跑，大学毕业5年以后就是看工作能力了。
好消息！CMU还真是亚裔STEM牛男娃的伯乐！每年都有类似的例子。
挺好
恭喜！这个必须是州内娃吧。
州内感觉都不可能啊，uw cs现在快是录取率为0的专业了。是不是有其他什么过人之处？
越来越不友好，你还让大家咋放轻松啊
你是认真的还是来挖坑的？新闻系不是抄别人的旧文章啊。AI只会用旧数据训练，没有公开的东西AI是无法知道的。
是楼主说的韩裔男娃吗？太好了
恭喜，希望几年后，CS录取不会高不可攀。
且不说前十了，连中档U C都没要他。。。
U C现在就是大幅度向有色人种（非亚裔）和低收入人群倾斜。加州的亚裔孩子想上物美价廉的州大越来越难了。之后能上私立大学吧，老墨老黑付不起这么贵的学费，申请的少竞争也少一些。
这种娃家有一个，咋办？
不差钱去私高可以提高G P A
并不会，加州私校竞争更激烈
申请的都是什么系？
我还知道一个白娃PS写的是如何伤心地在高中最后一年从一项从小参与的体育活动中退出，跟此运动说拜拜的心路历程。目前也被认为是录得结果不好的主要原因之一。当然每个学校他都报了CS也对录取没帮助。
同意。UC读计算机或者工程类，竞争已到白热化
倾斜是有的。但是3.8的成绩在uci连bottom 25% 都没有，也不到人家黑墨第一代大学生的median。 4.0没上的才是被区别对待了，3.8就是靠实力没上啊
G T 和N Y U感觉都不错啊，不比UCLA和ucb差
都私校了，就全国撒网了呀，不用限制在加州的私校了
有竞赛成绩？比如 USACO gold or platinum?
啊，这年头老黑老墨中位数unweighted GPA 都有3.8+了吗？不可能吧。我们这边高中，90-93分都算A-, GPA只有3.7。这就是说老黑老墨中位数的四年成绩都能在90分以上？这怎么可能啊，除非是高中大放水，全校80%人平均每课都有90分以上吧
谢谢分享 希望我们也可以峰回路转 唉
3.8 unweighted在亚裔里面属于“家族耻辱”了，别打我。UCI学校官网写着2022 unweighted median GPA 3.95, 包括所有种族。
这是特例吧，看看cc的uw州内 cs录取数据 S23 instate CS 4.0 unweighted GPA 18 APs, with 14 of those taken before senior and receiving a score of 5 on all of the exams. SAT 1590 另一个 ACT 36 gpa 4.0
对的！成绩差一些要去私高刷分。
UC不看加减，A-是A, B+还是B
UC申请人多，光看个人GPA不行，还是要看娃在自己高中这个pool里排在哪里，以往给所在高中的名额。对比往年数据，一般top 9%-10%被 UC top 那几所录一般没悬念
他说的是录取的吧
你这人怎么说话这么mean，我儿子有ADHD，有这个成绩已经付出很多努力了，我心情已经很差了，你就是落井下石的那种人
we are Asian not Bsian not
3.8本来就对应santa cruz， riverside。并无委屈。 你何不问问你自己为何不为孩子付出这么大努力的成绩感到骄傲和开心。
同样心情
我不是这个意思。朋友们自嘲说华人娃就四种职业：花街，教授，医生，家族耻辱。玩笑开过头了，抱歉。
有些老师也粗心，给的分会出错，作业交了说没交啥的。一学期下来有很多个分，真的需要娃自己随时上心盯着，发现错及时找老师掰扯。
