What we look for 我們要什麼樣的學生？

We seek to identify students who will be the best educators of one another and their professors—individuals who will inspire those around them during their College years and beyond. 能夠激勵他人、影響別人的學生。

Growth and potential 成長和潛力：是否發揮了最大學術能力和個人潛力？有沒有過傾注自己全部的能力？有沒有在課外一直努力追求研究自己感興趣的學術科目？有沒有保存實力為了做更多的事？怎麼分配使用時間的？你現在是什麼樣的人？未來想成為什麼樣的人？

Interests and activities 興趣和活動：有沒有深深投入到某個活動？從興趣中你學到了什麼？你是領導者嗎？你全身心真正投入到活動中了嗎？

Character and personality 性格特點：你為自己做過什麼決定？你是厚積薄發的人么？你對新觀點、新認識的人什麼態度？你幽默嗎？關心他人么？抗壓能力強嗎？

Contribution to the Harvard community 對哈佛社區的貢獻：你扛得住大學的學術和生活壓力嗎？你會給哈佛大學的師生帶來什麼？

高中所在地依然是對想去美國讀高中的學生和家長很有參考價值的信息。

What Yale looks for? 耶魯要什麼樣的學生？

Academic ability 學術能力第一重要

Yale is above all an academic institution. This meansacademic strengthis our first consideration in evaluating any candidate. The single most important document in your application is yourhigh school transcript, which tells us a great deal about your academic drive and performance over time. We look for students who have consistently takena broad range of challenging courses in high school and have done well. Your high school teachers can provide extremely helpful information in their evaluations. Not only do they discuss your performance in their particular class or classes, but often they write about such things as yourintellectual curiosity, energy, relationships with classmates, and impact on the classroom environment. Obviously it is important to ask for recommendations from teachers who know you well.

Recommendations & Essays 老師推薦信和文書全方位了解你的個性以及從老師角度評估你的學術能力

Just as teacher recommendations are meant to give the admissions committee a glimpse of what you are like in the classroom, the counselor recommendation may provide us with a picture ofyour place in your high school class and in the larger school community. Your counselor can help us assess the degree of difficulty of your program, tell us what a particularleadership positionmeans at your school, provide information on your background, and, in general, provide the sort of textured comments about you that would help your application come to life.

The Yale application tries to get at the personal side of the applicant through the use of two essays whose scope is broad enough to accommodate most writers. We encourage you totake the writing of the essays seriously and to write openly and honestly about activities, interests, or experiencesthat have been meaningful to you. What is most important is that you writein your own voice. If an essay doesn』t sound like the person who writes it, it cannot serve him or her very well as a personal statement. As with every document in the application, we read essays very carefully and try toget a full sense of the human being behind them.

Make full of Yale resources充分利用高中資源，充分利用耶魯資源

Again, we are looking for students who willmake the most of Yaleand the most of theirtalents. Knowinghow you』ve engaged in the resources and opportunities at your high schoolgives us an expectation of how you might engage the resources at Yale if admitted.

The Math between You and MIT 麻省理工要的是什麼樣的學生？

Alignment with MIT"s mission to make the world a better place.做一個有影響力的人

Remember that there are many ways to make the world better—we"re not looking for applicants to have cured all infectious disease in the world by the time they"re fifteen. Tutoring a single kid in math changes the world. Lobbying a senator to change bad policy changes the world. There are thousands of examples.

Collaborative & cooperative spirit. 合作精神

Many of the problem sets (our affectionate term for homework) at MIT are designed to be worked on in groups; cross-department labs are very common; MIT is known for its interdisciplinary research; the Open Source movement is powerful here; publishing and sharing of results is the center of academic research. Fostering a collaborative environment is an important part of the MIT community. If you enjoy working alone all the time, that"s fine! But you"re probably not going to be particularly happy here. 麻省理工很多學科作業都是合作完成，大學強調合作學習。喜歡獨立學習很創造的學生不適合麻省。

Initiative.積極主動For those students who take initiative—who take advantage of what"s around them—MIT"s resources are unparalleled.

Risk-taking.愛冒險，不懼失敗MIT wants to admit people who are not only planning to succeed but who are not afraid to fail.

Hands-on creativity. 動手能力和創造力

Intensity, curiosity, and excitement. 探索和全身心投入Explore! Choose quality over quantity—you don"t have to do a million things to get into college. Put your heart into a few things that you truly care about and that will be enough.

The character of the MIT community.關心他人，激勵他人追求夢想Our community is comprised of good people. People who take care of each other and lift each other up. People who inspire each other to work & dream beyond their potential. We"re looking to admit people who by nature will sustain the qualities of this community.

The ability to prioritize balance. 平衡好學業、工作和生活。
