大学AO看重-A whole story

在看见申请材料前,大学AO对99.999%的申请孩子没有一点了解。孩子的Stats,essay,EC,portfolio(一般optional), 老师推荐信,和学校康嫂推荐信(比较Top的学校要求,而且非常看重)构成一个picture of this kid。 这就是AO眼里的whole story of this kid。这个拼图里的各个piece都重要。如果非常不和谐,AO当然要问why。

比如(具体情况不了解,只是看贴猜想,如果不对请原谅),双呆的孩子Stats惊人的好(Top0.01%),EC也有非常强的竞赛奖。如果老师和康嫂推荐信(比如Top 20%都不到)不能与之呼应,这个孩子的iamge 在AO眼中是非常不和谐的。 从我对美国大学和私立高中的了解,这样的孩子一般是竞争不过每个piece都在Top  2-3% 的孩子的。

另外就是每个piece间要有hook。essay,EC ,和portfolio如果互不相干也让孩子的image 非常不和谐。

美国大学特别喜欢成熟的孩子。聪明晚熟孩子的image中容易有非常强pieces+非常弱pieces,申请大学处于弱势。生活很长,这些孩子一旦成熟,会超赶出色的。
