USACO gold + AIME的小中男太多了
如果高中比較沒名氣 會比較吃虧 尤其又是小中男,所以可以ED之前來學校錄取過的藤校 這樣機會更大一點。
主要看作文写得如何,能不能打动AO。打动不了,T30应该希望很大。T5基本希望不大(5%-10%),无论作文写得如何。
Is your area from Ithaca high school, or an elite private high school?
The post is asking for CS major.
but not for 藤 and Standford-- as there is no personality!
那个是2020秋季入学的,是最近三年录取相对最容易的一年。看看能不能打开:
https://www.wenxuecity.com/groups/bbs.php?act=bbsview&gid=1199&basecode=1013293
可能有人进不了,把内容抄一下,希望能帮到有些孩子:
小中男, 中西部2000人白人红脖公立高中,竞赛不多。
标考:
ACT: 36
SAT: 1580
SAT 2 Math: 800
SAT Chem: 800
GPA Ranking: 1%
AP: 11 APs (at 11th grade), ten APs are 5分, one AP 4分 (历史), 所有理科AP都考了。
竞赛:
AIME: Qualified 两次
USACO: Gold
课外活动:
足球俱乐部: 州亚军
足球校队: MVP 两年
义工: 250 小时
家长很有心,最后也update 了录取情况:
报告一下:
Reject: MIT, Stanford (EA deferred)
Waitlist:CMU (SCS), Berkely (EECS), Harvard
Admit: GT, UT Austin (Turing), UM, UW (CS Direct), UCLA,Texas A&M (Full Ride)
经验分享:如果CMU是首要目标,要ED。 另外一个stats几乎一摸一样的小中男ED CMU(SCS)被deferred,但是RD时录了。所以AO 眼光还是很准的,分得清三心二意还是一心一意。
很接地气,那么优秀的小孩,看得很心痛。为小中男叫屈啊!

继续分享,望对想学CS的有所帮助。秋天freshmen入学州大。在9,10月有公司到校园招聘, 大多数要球二年级以上,但是我儿还是递了一些简历,大概十个左右,没报什么希望。圣诞期间收到两个面试通知, 前后2-3周,都中了, ($46-$47/h)。明年夏天的工作实习。个人感觉,只要编程过硬,公司不在意你是否是新生。
继续分享,望对想学CS的有所帮助。今年是第二年了,因为AP课算credit,所以算是junior student,有了去年的经历,今年找工容易多了。申请的公司三分之一有回复,但是面试还是比较难,需要好好准备。final interview了5-6 家(49-56/h),有两家FAANG的offer,搞定了明年夏天的实习。计算机的话不少好公司来旗舰州大招人。同学之间可以互相refer。
撒网CMU,T20,UCB, GT,UTA,UW,UIUC, UM, UCLA。
UIUC CS也不容易,该校的CS+X保底差不多
but 看得很心痛--我们村里每年好些优秀ABC青年,最后哈没捞着
https://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/articles/undergraduate-computer-science-programs-methodology 只是一个课程打分,并没有什么比较学生出路,研究生和本科生比例,课堂大小,老师带不带本科生做研究,课程路径里理论和实践的偏重,学生活动和组织等各种情况
更在乎专业排名-- makes more sense than the fake ranking from CNN.
President Trump said: CNN is a fake news!
something that makes one different from the others--
The profile posted is excellent-- but also homogenous among ABCs.
I initially thought HMC= Harvard Medical Center--
After doing a google search, it turned out to be a school specific for Cal residents.
for twenty years--also got two degrees in elite schools in the US. Are you sure that 你真对STEM硬核学校知道more than I?
HMC是 a local thing--it becomes a viable choice only for Cal residents-- it even does not have any market in its nearby state- our Texas.
An ABC from CMU with biology major ended in doing a master degree in Cal State Univ; and then a Ph.D. in Texas A&M.
Applied to one lab for a postdoc-- declined--too weak background-- and poor of knowledge.
Of course, this should be an individual case-- not necessarily a general pattern.
Furthermore, i did not visit 紫檀 too frequently--
but we 家长s all need to be objective-- but should not over sale any school or dismiss the others--
拿个minor后职场上优势近乎,除了 CS,CMU好几个专业都是排名前几的,而且是目前职场大热
排名很一般的大公校,学校不排名,成绩全A。9,10年级 已经上了6门AP(Stat,Cal BC, WHAP, APCS, AP physics…), 成绩都是5分,11年级有4门 AP,12年级打算再选物理啥的几门(总共加起来可能会有16,17门),同时在附近CC 上数学课, Multi Var Cal, Linear Algebra, Differential Equation,etc…
SAT: 1550+
PSAT:1500+, 应该可以national merit
EC:
钢琴Qualify 过几次State, 也拿过一些奖,但没有特别的大奖;
网球打了几年,高中期间一直有参加学校JV校队,打得还行,但进不去Varsity;
计算机 USACO Gold, 估计也上不去了;
AIME qualified ,但估计也很难继续晋级了;
其它就是学校coding club officer, 带队参加些比赛啥的;还有就是喜欢自己在一些coding 网站上刷题,现在也能晋级到expert 级别…
最后有一个刚刚开始的research project,但完全还没有任何成绩..
各位AO给看看我们这样的娃适合申请什么样的学校呢?
