对于娃梦校,俺认为要从9年级就要开始准备,而且要把学校网站内容全部吃透

楼主 (文学峸)

以M为例

M明确对高中课程有要求的,所以4年课程要统筹计划,有些课无法临时抱佛脚

https://mitadmissions.org/apply/prepare/be-yourself/

这个网页含有What to do in high school,具体到要求什么AP课和高中需要学哪些基本课程, 以及MIT暑期项目

https://mitadmissions.org/apply/firstyear/first-year-eligibility/

这个网页含有怎么可以成为M的(一年级)学生,包括申请,面试,等等信息

一步一步按照M的要求来,不会让人心焦的

其他就是运气啦

 

老糊涂2
九年级前如果真有梦校,绝对天才自推娃了。哈哈
两女宝妈
这信息实用:)

家长的梦校吧。家长在娃一年级时就有梦校了。
两女宝妈
不少吧?所以“天才”要去掉,哪有那么多天才。。。

你说说看,到底有啥实用的。你大概都没看吧

只要看自己高中课程就好了,九年级什么都没有,学文学理工还不知道,看大学的是浪费时间。高中一两年可能才知道擅长什么

楼主有个孩子去UM了吗
两女宝妈
楼主说9年级开始去学校网站上看相关内容,这个九年级是个很实用信息啊:)

至少我之前就没想到啊

加兰
按我们学区课程安排6年级的课就得跳了。见到其他家长小学就在赶数学进度,我们放羊的家长10年级还糊里糊涂呢。
两女宝妈
应该是S

9年级开始计划准备课程,建议你点击一下我提供的链接,看一下内容就明白了

否则又要来问申请M需要几年外语啊,需要多少AP课程,要哪些课程啊等等问题

大号蚂蚁
削足适履。应该是发现发展哪方面的特长爱好,然后申请能进一步帮助自己进步的相应的学校
两女宝妈
哎,我们学区限制跳级呢。。。
两女宝妈
这怎么算削足适履呢,借鉴一下自己心里有数有啥不好。楼主给的都是具体借鉴信息,比以空论空的帖子好多了。不喜欢的跳过就是

你自己大概没看吧,我来告诉你哪些实用信息,连课外活动都谈到了

What to do in high school

MIT receives diverse and interesting applications from students in every type of school: public, private, religious, charter, and home school. We understand that high schools have different offerings and families have different resources. It is our job as admissions officers to sift through that context and admit those students who are the best matched with MIT.

Academics

An MIT education combines deeply analytic thinking with creative hands-on problem-solving to prepare students to solve the toughest problems in the world.

Our General Institute Requirements demand that all students must take (or place out of, through an Advanced Standing Examination) the following:

Two semesters of calculus Two semesters of calculus-based physics One semester of chemistry One semester of biology

In addition to these subjects, students are also required to take a robust set of humanities, arts, and social science classes, regardless of what course of study they choose to pursue.

A strong academic foundation in high school contributes to your own development, improves your odds of getting into MIT, and helps you make the most of the Institute when you’re here. Because a strong foundation in math is so central, and we find prior familiarity with physics to be important for success, students should have math through calculus and at least one year of physics.

Students who are well matched with MIT take the following classes in high school:

Math, through calculus One year or more of physics One year or more of chemistry One year or more of biology Four years of English Two years of a foreign language Two years of history and/or social sciences

We know that not all high schools offer the chance to take all these recommended classes, and we take this into consideration when reviewing your application. So, what you take should be based on your interests and aptitudes. That is, you should focus on taking the most challenging courses available to you in the areas that most interest you.

Additional academic enrichment

If your high school doesn’t offer courses that challenge you, you may want to explore other options, such as dual-enrollment opportunities at local colleges or enrollment in virtual high school options. You will be able to report any courses that you take outside of your high school on your application.

OpenCourseWare

MIT’s OpenCourseWare provides users with open access to the syllabi, lecture notes, course calendars, problem sets and solutions, exams, and even a selection of video lectures from courses representing ∼34 departments.

Other resources Khan Academy,?01 offers personalized—and free—SAT test prep. Founded by MIT alum, Sal Khan, Khan Academy offers world-class instruction to anyone, anywhere, online. Their personalized practice recommendations will help you build your own practice plan, let you take practice tests, and give you tips for taking the test. They also offer AP prep, should you be considering AP exams. MIT Open Learning publishes materials from OCW, MITx, and other non-degree granting courses and enrichment programs, including hands on STEM activities. There are more structured online environments that function more like traditional classrooms, with assigned homework, regular chat periods, an instructor, grades, and so forth. You may be able to get high school (and sometimes college) credit through these programs. Some of them include SPCSCTY, and Virtual High School. Many of our students who are mathematically inclined have found Art of Problem Solving (AoPS) an indispensable resource. Extracurricular activities

Some students feel so much pressure to get into the “right” college that they want to make sure they do everything right—down to their extracurricular activities. We ask for only four activities on our application because we want to know what you are passionate about, what is most important to you—not what you think we want to see.

Choose your activities because they delight, intrigue, and challenge you, not because you think they’ll look impressive on your application. You should find projects, activities, and experiences that stimulate your creativity and leadership, that connect you with peers and adults who bring out your best, and that please you so much that you don’t mind the work involved. Some students find room for many activities; others prefer to concentrate on just a few. Either way, the test for any extracurricular should be whether it makes you happy—whether it feels right for you.

We also recognize that some students may have family or other obligations that might be what they do outside of classes. And that’s okay, we just want to learn more about you, whatever that might be! There is no “right” answer.

College is not a costume party; you’re not supposed to come dressed as someone else. College is an intense, four-year opportunity to become more yourself than you’ve ever been. What you need to show us is that you’re ready to try.

Khan Academy is now recognized by the College Board as their official test preparation source, fully

关键M招生是玄学,即使按照这个做了,也只能靠祈祷
令狐冲.
关键是看你想不想跳,如果真想,转私校跳,读几年后再转回来,对级转,自然跳了

美国就是这样,真有能力的娃,环境拦不住,真有能力的成年人,环境也拦不住

两女宝妈
至少给出了下限。。。知己知彼没啥不好,而且早点看,看也不是个时间负担了

avw
你太天真了
两女宝妈
觉得太麻烦啊。也觉得跳有跳的好,不跳也有不跳的好。无法预测那样更好,所以就没动
两女宝妈
这有啥天真之说,让娃8年级暑假看看,对自己的课程安排至少是个借鉴。有啥不好的1

我看了下,跟我们高中毕业要求没啥区别

我同意蚂蚁的观点。9年纪哪里知道想要什么。

9年级的梦校和12年纪的是不一样的

为啥不是从幼儿园就开始吃透呢?

mit 除了成绩最主要就是奖,大奖。
令狐冲.
确实各有好处,俺曾和私校校长讨论过这个,他的说法是

我们会通过测试建议小孩上哪个年级。然而,最终上哪个年级由家长决定,毕竟你最了解你的孩子,我们相信如果家长决定让自己的孩子上哪个年级,家长一定会提供support.

总的来说是家长需要考虑利弊,做出决定。

那看一下没啥坏处啊。。。

我只是告诉你,要不是黑人的话,看也是白看。大学是必须要提供这一类文章放网上的,一看就没啥诚意
两女宝妈
还是有一批孩子知道。。。

哈哈。也对啊 -- "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail."
两女宝妈
不看你就不知道不用看,所以还是看一下自己内心会笃定些:做了,知道的就是事实;不做,那很多就是猜测。。。
两女宝妈
因为做plan的人是孩子,不是家长。。。
两女宝妈
是,主要觉得不跳可能对准备学科方面的EC比较好:)
夏云
是变高了还是低了?

布朗书店有件Tshirt和Caltech的一样

 

成功的熊
M这么要求是因为这六门课是M所有本科生必修的通识课。当然牛蛙可以通过考试,直接得到这六门必修课的学分。
加兰
我娃同学就有9,10年级前在私校避开我们学区必修的4分课(公校没有这些课的honor),转来的GPA可达5分。
两女宝妈
看来你是打算一路替孩子做主啊

sjtwinsmom
这个要求基本也是毕业要求, 几门STEM 课程想学理工的孩子肯定都会选

ahawater
哪6门?数理化生加上英语和历史?
成功的熊
科学要求六门。人文社科艺术要求八门。

Chemistry (3.0915.111, or 5.112)
Physics (8.018.0118.012, or 8.01L; and 8.028.021, or 8.022)
Mathematics (18.01 or 18.01A; and 18.0218.02A, or 18.022)
Biology (7.0127.0137.0147.015, or 7.016)

看了一下,严格说来我们高中的课当时就不满足,但当年有好几个录M
