2）stat很好，但没有看到特别的地方。很多人都没有大奖也进了大藤。知道一个小孩，没有大奖，T5进了三个。大藤特别看中是Be yourself。举个例子， 在Yale的网站上： “Who is likely to make the most of Yale’s resources?” and “Who will contribute most significantly to the Yale community?”
新来乍到，汇报下小女结果供大家参考。从幼稚园起一路公立，木有经验，都是教训。

1）非常同意。高中在村里自认还行，但其实很弱。有关AP倒也不一定，因为旁边有个更差的公校就是十年级才能选AP。
2）同意。大奖只是途径之一，没有大奖或是杰出领导船或是特殊才能、背景进T5的，一定都有自己独特的故事。偶倒是觉得偶娃的确“demonstrated to be herself", 因为偶觉得她的性格和兴趣跟Havard, Yale, Princeton 八字不合：D
3）EC is kind of well-rounded. 但其实是有主线的，只是鉴于privacy reason, 不能具体展开了。
1）高中不强。好的公立高中九年级是不让选AP的，十年级也不一定能选。
2）stat很好，但没有看到特别的地方。很多人都没有大奖也进了大藤。知道一个小孩，没有大奖，T5进了三个。大藤特别看中是Be yourself。举个例子， 在Yale的网站上： “Who is likely to make the most of Yale’s resources?” and “Who will contribute most significantly to the Yale community?”
3）EC太分散： 没有看见something meaningful to you.
那孩子最后去了Champman University...咋一听木赶脚。。其实那孩子家爷爷很牛从chapman毕业，孙子立志去chapman学电影。
其实说白了，把升学放一边不说，公私其实还是有区别的，最大的区别在于“混的圈子和认识的人”。
🛋️ 沙发板凳
leadership for PS？
不够强，进T5很难。
非常普通的公高，在本村附近属于最大也是历年以来升学最好的。不过仅此而已，基本都要靠自己。
基本上如果单拼学术，必须靠大奖。
最后决定去哪？
36+全A+10几门AP满分+2/3个区域奖+Club President
T20全据。
在比較差的公高就只能靠自己了 如果附近有好的公高或絲糕 AO可能就不考慮你們普通的公高了。
不過這結果已經很不錯了 倒是premed真的要考慮一下 也許Duke或Brown會是比較好的選擇
没必要纠结去没去T5。
一個是KY的top磁校 一個是加州的普通公高
要使巧劲，估计俩小白essay，推荐信没出彩
是加分項
就是小中女娃娃，进藤级的都有州级或以上的奖
可能被其他同学给挤掉了。今年俺村EC比他们强的不少。
小白女：网球州冠军，全国前五六十
小印女：科研有奖，写作有奖
进P的小白女：小提琴，应该是专业水平吧，因为同时拿了Columbia+Jullied
我也是醉
在吹牛爸今天發的主帖裏
很优秀的孩子，去那都会成功。
如果割舍不下T5，essay推荐信上再多下点功夫，完全有可能横扫。估计又要添堵了
比进哈佛的可能性低多了。
也就是说没有任何一项能保证送娃进藤
其他的诱惑太多
只要推薦信沒搞砸 essay沒亂寫 爬上個藤就沒問題了
要是第二關的EC更牛 就算essay不怎麽入AO的法眼 也不會有太大的問題
有一个大奖不是就可以进t5的充分必要条件
老师让她数学跳一级都直接拒了
能听我的就不是面筋，，是面团， LOL
您老人家说的是观念
我说的不是观念是事实，
