零距離接觸——美國五所學校來訪

　　Admission officers from Smith, Haverford,Bennington, Kenyon and Tufts visited us on 22nd and 23rdof May. Following are some thoughts from our students regarding to this visit.

　　零距離接觸——美國五所學校來訪。來自美國史密斯學院、哈弗福德學院、伯明頓學院、凱尼恩學院和塔夫茨大學的招生官來到成都外國語學校中美高中AP課程中心，在5月22日與我們的家長見面并對文理教育，美國大學錄取等方面做了深入淺出的講解；23日，招生官們走進課堂，為我們的學生上了一堂充滿活力的擇校課。


　　下面是幾位同學對于這次活動的感受

　　這次的大學來訪讓我收益良多，作為一名AP課程中心的學生，我應該定準自己的目標。而這次的大學講座讓我更加了解這五所非常好的學校，并且明確了自己的目標。而從這次大學來訪中，我深的體會還是在和招生官面對面接觸的過程中得到的。我以前一直以為一定要不斷地證明自己的能力，一定要得到很多獎項，做很多大事才會受到招生官的青睞。可事實上呢，經過Tufts 招生官的耐心解說，我明白了其實重要的是展現一個真實而又與眾不同的你，甚至你可以寫你參加過很多比賽但沒有獲獎，其實獲獎與否并不是必要的，關鍵是在除開高中學習生活之外豐富自己，合理安排自己的時間去做自己喜歡的事情，那就足夠了。我認為這次大學招生官講座讓我們能夠近距離接觸招生官并提出自己的質疑，這無疑是一個非常好的體驗。總的來說，我在這次大學招生官見面會里面學到了很多。

　　On the May 23th,students from AP center gave a warm welcome to admission officers from top colleges, which are the Smith College, the Bennington College. Their visit shared the background information about their school and talked about the difference between colleges and universities. The lectures were attractive to students while the atmosphere was active and concentrating. Later, students from Grade10-11 were regrouped into two different classes. Teachers of the visitors gave us joyful lessons to understand the relation in extracurricular activities and applications as well as the details of college life. Through the whole process of experience, we learned and perceived more knowledge and information about how is the college meat to us.

　　I’ve always been a huge fan of college visit. I figure that nothing is more exciting than talking to college admission officers, as they’re often very kind and willing to answer all sorts of questions.

　　Liberal arts colleges are different from big research universities in many ways. Their traits of putting focus on undergraduate education and having smaller class sizes intrigue me the most.Smith is my favorite school among the four, and it clears out my misconceptions about girls’ school. All girls, no guys! Won’t that be too boring? Not at all! In fact, scientific studies have shown that students learn best when they’re being with people of their gender, for there will be less disturbance. Besides,Kenyon has a strong writing tradition, giving students an intensive writing practice in all classes, even math and science.

　　In short, I’m looking forward to experiencing liberal arts education.

　　這已經是四次文理學院來訪，讓我們對于美國大學和教育體系因此愈發熟悉。大學的環境競爭非常激烈，適合活躍、外向的學生，而像Haverford和Smith這樣的文理學院，也適合內斂安靜的學生。美國社會本身就是差異性和包容性相結合，這一特點在文理學院得到了很好的體現。在上午的Workshop中，我們了解到文理學院的教育中注重性格的再培養，對領導力、溝通能力的塑造，打造中國學生的差異性和優越性；而在文化上的教育，學生得以與教授更頻繁的接觸，與來自世界各地的學生成為同窗，培養我們世界的視野，包容美國文化的多樣性。一上午與招生官一起討論、交流的時光轉瞬既逝，我很感激我們有這樣的平臺可以讓我們更好的了解自己今后怎樣融入到美國大學生活中去。我們這一代是很幸運的一代，我們可以帶著中國傳統的自豪去到一個文化多種多樣、又互相包容的美利堅。我們是世界人，我們來自成外AP。
