感觉这个research 是蛮多的 但是有点too good to be true 的感觉一样 特别其中提到自己的论文还把专门搞研究的phd们都比下去了 还有在说在自己的original country 搞的internship 感觉把这些去掉,但是突出自己在学校和本地区拿到了很多数学科学奖会不会更好一些? 不懂,完全是看完之后最直观的感受

这孩子的“问题”: AP 物理只考了1,10年级就来了,申请EE,物理没学电学,甚至physics C 力学都没有。 发了IEEE的文章一堆。这个活动和上面讨论过的物理选课难度搭配看起来很不靠谱。正规的IEEE审稿都要很久的,发文章不容易。如果学校不提供physics C,大可以自己自学考试,基础的知识没有体现,反倒能发文章,逻辑上通吗? 没说calc BC之后在学什么,说AP stats ongoing,就是12年级在学,这个是个文科数学,我们学校康扫都不让calc BC之后单纯学AP stats。说明数学能力so so 数学比赛竟然最基本的AMC没写? 学校校队的state team champion,12年级非队长,有可能是替补,根本没上场。不然要写自己是哪个位置拿了什么名次。而且宗教学校,说明size小,division低,除了一单其他打球的水平都不怎么样,学校的math club有几个人都不好说。也就是说除了学术里面一堆不靠谱的文章,其他文艺体育写作领导力兴趣爱好,稍微像样的结果一概没有。

这种当然竞争得过。 不是已经拿了UT Austin了吗。
同觉得Georgia Tech拒掉很吃惊
又把黑人拿出来闲扯淡,当初反AA的劲都哪去了,继续闹啊
GT估计是觉得UT会录,不想当备胎
一个team十几个人呢,而且没写哪年的
这个rice有戏,S,Penn希望很小,Washington肯定进
像AIME,JMO之类竞赛有必要写么?
Gatech ECE 今年录小中男也要硬核stem奖了
前几天版上报了一个是AMO + usaco gold
必须的,home country还搞了个intern。 含金量难以辨别。。
同觉得gt不该拒。不过gt现在外州录取率每年降1%。今年8%。热门专业外州估计接近2%。他们特别偏本周学生,没办法。
洲大就是谁出钱谁受益,肯定先收本州学生。UC毕竟牛蛙多,TOP2本州生源有保证,其他的啥UM之类的,本州录取率都到50%了,跟州外生源差一大截
这娃应该是跟父母移民过来的1.5代。
感觉把这些去掉,但是突出自己在学校和本地区拿到了很多数学科学奖会不会更好一些? 不懂,完全是看完之后最直观的感受
同意这个。那些研究我的第一印象就是跟父母关系大。去掉可能更好。gt有可能有怀疑。
对,这个profile浓浓的国内中介风
这个小孩是华人。。。
为什么不写?这是硬核成绩啊。反而他一堆paper不知道是不是家长操刀的
不在乎IEEE,那在乎什么?ISEF?AO到底是怎么评估research的呢?
那个数学奖也是,state champion不是初中阶段的吗?高中为啥没有aime以上的成绩?
是啊,德州州冠军应该至少是camper了,怎么没写呢
美国早没希望了
估计是小比赛,或者是level比较低的数学比赛。 别说JMO, AMO, MOP了,就是AIME了也得写啊,虽然现在已经很水了,州大还是看的。
他不正常的是连基本的电磁学都没学,就能发IEEE,包装痕迹太明显。
无语。。。 AO为什么要评价研究成果啊,他们只看热情和潜力。有几个CS的去做AO啊,即使个别有知道IEEE是啥,人家也知道这不是美国高中生的主流
就这个简历,一看就是忽悠华人的中介包装的。想骗名校,太嫩了
GIT这个学校很有意思。个人认为, 他们如果觉得你能被当地州大录取的,一般都会defer,不管你的成绩咋样。 UIUC是很好的学校啊!很棒的娃!
tennis team?个人成绩怎么样? math state level?jmo还是amo?
uiuc是不是中国小留遍地的学校
research本来就是包装了
对,外州的娃连这个都进不了
我也无语了。谁告诉你AO只看热情和潜力的?
这个分析非常清晰明了
如果不是前面说的包装出来的,在我读博期间,能被IEEE 主要conference 录取paper, 还是很厉害的。当然IEEE也可能有比较水的conference. 如果说普通小中男有这种research 能力,我是不信的。
曾经IEEE 4大网络方向的会议proceedings,发一篇博士都可以毕业了。所以我现在看到这些中学生,明明是个普通孩子,为了申请个大学来污染IEEE,真的挺不能忍的。
是前三作者吗?如果不是最多也就是个打杂的,很有可能是花点钱挂名的
我去,升学中介包装打擦边球都到这个水平了。我刚读帖也是有这个疑问,都能拿大德州全州网球冠军了,还用得着上网来问?成绩又不差,各大高校应该抢着要啊
娃很棒。这个分析得更在理
其实这个没什么。。。你觉得假,是因为大概你觉得别人(比如,大学的AO)会重视这个,会把这当回事。
事实是,绝大部分高中生参与的文章,行业内的人都会default认为这高中生只是打酱油而已,没几个人会把这种文章当做有多大意义。
做出了打酱油的结果,得到“这是打酱油”这种程度的重视程度,挺正常的,有啥假的?
不是打酱油的那些极少的特例,必然会有相应的强的推荐信。
就这种校内成绩一般,没有像样的硬核竞赛佐证的去搞科研还能发论文?学校AO 对这种皇帝的新衣见多了
5%还是厉害 国内来的其实stem比这里强
同觉得奇怪, 德州数竞第一进AMO应该没问题吧, 正常进mop都可以, 完全没提这个竞赛的含金量。
这些中介都是没有底线的,他们只要结果用来招揽未来的客户。亲身经历亲戚的孩子申请研究生,中介觉得孩子GRE分数不高,要求她重考,并表示可以请人代考,孩子最后自己去重考了。Essay里虚构打造励志人设,竟然还拿到一点奖学金,人家实际是一线城市富裕中产家庭
国内中介每年都给美国各大学校的教授发邮件,希望带国内学生发文章,报酬一篇差不多德州教授一年的工资了,肯定有猥琐人愿意。还有十几二十年没联系的读博时的同学突然联系,求带孩子发文章,自己可以为孩子代做研究代写,只要给个方向加署名。真的希望以后大学录取不看任何科研发论文,大家都清静
我们州网球比赛每个高中男女只能各报名一个替补队员,如果那个高中真的拿了全州冠军,没上场的替补水平也不会太差。而且大多数时候,替补也有机会上场
那是TAPPS, 你去查查就知道了,TX 私立学校的联盟。而且里面还分Division。里面最强的队也未必能进公立学校比赛的State。这种“全州冠军”没人认可的,除非有个人的积分排名。
一年工资这么高?十来万美元啊。普通中上层国人也没这个实力吧
no wonder,德州数学高手几乎都集中在大公校
太假了,招生的也不是傻子,一个高中生写的paper比博士生还好?天才?明显是有人帮
