31% of the class were identified as being "academic stars". Examples of academic stars include being a Siemens Finalist, qualifying for the USAMO, and so forth. Like with everything else, being "starry" in this way is a good thing, but it doesn't secure you a spot in the class. Of the nearly 900 academic stars who applied, less than 500 got in.
Stanford University is extremely selective with an acceptance rate of 4%. Students that get into Stanford University have an SAT score between 1440–1570 or an ACT score of 33–35.
能够去T5的,华裔家长不自觉的认为个个都是有两把刷子,要啥有啥。一旦有人分享自家的stats, 没有达到大家心目中的标准,就有人开始唧唧哼哼泄私愤,嘲笑挖苦了。
其实去了T5,又能满足大家对T5标准的,能有5% 可能比没录取的样样都强,剩下的95% 基本上在某项都能被其它娃超过。比如T5的,数学到了AIME, 甚至连AIME 都没进,有的家长就会觉得生气,明明自己娃也进了AIME, 甚至AMO, JMO, 结果不说T5,小藤都颗粒无收,只能去州大。不说家长当事人,就是网友也会觉得不公平。
这样的声音多了,会让T5的家长不愿意分享Stats, 怕被人嘲笑攻击,压根不敢大大方方地分享stats.
T5相亲群,呵呵
无非就是SAT GPA AP ranking这些都最好。
然后有各种EC的大奖中奖做研究和去著名camps。具体哪些管用紫檀也贴过单子也都有讨论。
然后得有各种领导船。各种校级president, 校外组织founder。做出impact。
另外N年文体项目。校队captain。校舞台剧主演。校报主编。乐队concert master,band leader.
这些都得有。排列组合。不可能一个人什么都有。但是也就是这些来回凑就是了。当然说着容易做起来难。T5不容易。能进的小中都是牛娃。
贝勒有两个孩子,高中时曾经进过top summer camp, 取得过当年全美韩国的数学比赛全国第一名H毕业,继续念博士,在纽约华尔街挖矿,年薪60 万美元,在中城租房,正在看房。。。。。
现在你应该知道贝勒是谁了吧。

以前估算过Siemens 还在的时候, 高中毕业班大概有900学生拿过【TOP-10奖项】里的头三类奖, Siemens消失后, 空缺可能被top summer camps 补上.
油管上不少GPA很高、SAT不到1500都进了T5。大学录取现在很野,偶然性很大。T5的学生把stats亮出来难免被人指指点点。主要根源是录取的随意性太大了,软性指标占比太重了。
相对其它T20、旗舰州大亮点不突出。
平均SAT分数1505。

吹起来费劲啊lol
还不许copy。有人在媒体写过,看了别人对自己的的评语,AO 讨论决定等等。他的point是多么随机,多么不透明。
