2019-20學(xué)年接近半程，在上學(xué)期北京君誠學(xué)校舉行了升學(xué)指導(dǎo)報(bào)告會(huì)，并與高中部家長逐一交流了高中同學(xué)們的畢業(yè)考學(xué)目標(biāo)。以下是我們對(duì)近期海外大學(xué)升學(xué)動(dòng)態(tài)和下一階段升學(xué)指導(dǎo)工作安排的通報(bào)。

　　We are reaching the half-way point of this school year. In this school year, we had held our semi-annual college counseling workshop, and we have met one-on-one with HS students’ parents about setting college admission goals. This communication is to elaborate on the college counseling agenda for the rest of the school year.

　　1、海外大學(xué)升學(xué)動(dòng)態(tài)

　　Update of Oversea College Admission

　　君誠應(yīng)屆學(xué)生剛剛參加完本申請(qǐng)季最后一次SAT考試，并將沉浸在RD輪(2020年1月1日截止)的申請(qǐng)中，讓我們祝學(xué)子們好運(yùn)!

　　2019-20大學(xué)升學(xué)季如期在10月份展開。首當(dāng)其沖的是英國大學(xué)院校的入學(xué)考試(UCAS)在十月初展開。然后是美國大學(xué)ED(提前錄取)和EA(提前行動(dòng))輪在十月底截止。在11月份加州大學(xué)全部分校一輪申請(qǐng)展開。在12月份，ED輪錄取已經(jīng)逐步放榜。其中，美本前30名�？偷牟ㄊ款D學(xué)院公布了今年ED輪的錄取統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)字：在1700份ED申請(qǐng)中，36%的申請(qǐng)學(xué)生獲得錄取，平均SAT分?jǐn)?shù)為1412， ACT：32分)。這個(gè)數(shù)字給了同學(xué)們努力目標(biāo)的參照。

　　今年國內(nèi)學(xué)生被美國名校錄取情況目前基本與去年持平。其中從一所美高被斯坦福大學(xué)錄取的學(xué)生曾在我校陳曉民校長創(chuàng)辦的深圳學(xué)校就讀，經(jīng)了解，該生考取了15門AP課程的滿分，并在11年級(jí)PSAT考試進(jìn)入全美前99%而成為國際優(yōu)秀獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金獲得者，SAT分?jǐn)?shù)高達(dá)1590分。這一數(shù)據(jù)也給了我校學(xué)生鞭策和目標(biāo)。

　　SIBS graduating class of 2020 had just finished the last SAT test of the college application season. They will soon immerse into their RD-round application due by January 1, 2020. Let us wish our SIBS graduates good luck!

　　The 2019-20 College application season opened in October. UK UCAS entrance exams rolled out the curtains. U.S. Early Decision and Early Action rounds followed and were completed in October. In November, all University of California campuses are hauling in applications for the only round. In December, ED results are being announced. Perhaps, we can draw hints from the Top-30-frequent Boston College’s ED statistics. BC receives just over 1700 early decision applications, and BC offered admission to 37% of applicants. The average standardized scores for the accepted students are SAT:1412, ACT:32. These numbers provide goals and motivation for our SIBS students.

　　The reported early decision acceptance for Top 10 US colleges and universities are largely on-par with last year. There is one accepted student by Stanford University who previously enrolled in Shenzhen Academy of International Education founded by SIBS’ Head of School, Dr. Chen. Through our communication, this student is highly qualified with 15 AP with scores of 5. She is a National Merit Scholarship finalist in the US with 99% percentile in G11 PSAT. Her SAT score is 1590. Again, these data provide incentive and model for SIBS students to reach.

　　2、托福報(bào)考

　　Registering for TOEFL

　　我校十年級(jí)學(xué)生按升學(xué)準(zhǔn)備進(jìn)度，應(yīng)最晚在十年級(jí)半程時(shí)次參加托�？荚�，并力爭(zhēng)在十一年級(jí)開學(xué)前托福分?jǐn)?shù)達(dá)到90分以上(美國前50名大學(xué)錄取分?jǐn)?shù)線)。十一年級(jí)學(xué)生未達(dá)標(biāo)的學(xué)生，也應(yīng)在2020年2月份及時(shí)報(bào)考托福。九年級(jí)學(xué)生可以視自己�？记闆r，決定是否在本學(xué)年嘗試次考試。

　　SIBS Grade 10 students, according to our college counseling timeline, shall attempt for the first time TOEFL no later than the half-way point of the Grade 10 year and should aim for a TOEFL score of 90 (out of 120), usually the cut-off line for Top 50 US colleges and universities. Grade 11 students who still have not achieved this score line shall work hard and hurry. Grade 9 students can decide according to his/her own circumstance on when to first attempt for TOEFL.

Debate experience is the most valued extracurricular activity in the US college admission process. It can also enhance students’ eloquence and communication skills.
