作為比爾蓋茨的母校,Lakeside也算是走讀學(xué)校里邊的大牛校了,門(mén)檻固然是不低的。針對(duì)有想8申9,9年級(jí)的算是該校的Upper School的entry point了,關(guān)于名額的情況,學(xué)校有明確的說(shuō)明:
Upper School
9th grade - 60-65 spaces
10th grade - 0-2 spaces*
11th grade - 0-2 spaces*
12th grade - 0 spaces
可見(jiàn)9年級(jí)是最優(yōu)的申請(qǐng)年級(jí)了,過(guò)了9年級(jí),基本上就比較困難了,名額都是零星的,學(xué)校還補(bǔ)了一句話:*availability based on attrition. 所以9年級(jí)可以好好爭(zhēng)取。
關(guān)于學(xué)校的要求,其實(shí)美國(guó)高中在選拔學(xué)生的時(shí)候,選拔的原則和模式跟美國(guó)本科是一樣的,采用的都是Holistic Admissions Review的選拔模式,不會(huì)只看單一的某一個(gè)參數(shù),還是要從學(xué)術(shù)能力、特長(zhǎng)、愛(ài)好、personality等方面來(lái)綜合評(píng)估的,包括你目前所在學(xué)校的performance等等都會(huì)全部列入考慮范圍,當(dāng)然,最后重要的肯定就是跟學(xué)校的right fit了,這個(gè)是需要好好給孩子做頭腦風(fēng)暴梳理閃光點(diǎn),從我歷年申請(qǐng)和錄取的學(xué)生來(lái)看,該校還是很注重對(duì)于學(xué)生的competence的培養(yǎng)的,所以如何跟學(xué)校的competence培養(yǎng)模式相匹配,是肯考驗(yàn)顧問(wèn)老師的經(jīng)驗(yàn)值的。
還有一個(gè)就是你的標(biāo)化考試成績(jī),國(guó)際生的話是托福和SSAT都需要考的,而且學(xué)校針對(duì)國(guó)際生的托福成績(jī)也列了最低的要求供大家參考:
International applicants, to all grade levels, must take the TOEFL iBT if the primary language of instruction at the applicant’s current academic institution is not English. We do not accept the TOEFL Jr. Lakeside looks closely at the score for each section rather than the total. The internet-based TOEFL exam (iBT) has four subsections, with a grading scale for each section from 1 to 30 (30 being the best possible score).
The minimum for each section are as follows:
Reading: 24
Listening: 22
Speaking: 25
Writing: 24
盡管標(biāo)化考試成績(jī)不是決定性的參數(shù),但是也是招辦會(huì)重點(diǎn)考慮的參數(shù),還是需要好好準(zhǔn)備的。
最后的一個(gè)建議就是早點(diǎn)啟動(dòng)起來(lái)規(guī)劃,評(píng)估一下目前的準(zhǔn)備周期還有多少,如何規(guī)劃好自己的素材和活動(dòng),是否有一些需要補(bǔ)充和提升的版塊,都是需要好好整合的,建議跟你的簽約顧問(wèn)好好頭腦風(fēng)暴以后,細(xì)化規(guī)劃,加油! -
您好:
首先,您的孩子是否需要 I-20, 如果需要 I-20的話,在2022-2023年度,學(xué)校不簽發(fā) I-20給學(xué)生。2023-2024 是否恢復(fù)簽發(fā) I-20 給國(guó)際學(xué)生,需要聯(lián)系學(xué)校確認(rèn)一下。
國(guó)際學(xué)生需要托福和SSAT成績(jī),要求的托福成績(jī)?nèi)缦拢?br />
Reading: 24
Listening: 22

通常九年級(jí)有60-65 spaces。
對(duì)于錄取比例,學(xué)校不公布,這里有官網(wǎng)消息,請(qǐng)參考:
We do not share our acceptance rate. Knowing any school's acceptance rate adds to anxiety for students and families in an admission process, and it does not give any information about who Lakeside admits. Lakeside's admission and financial aid team responds to the needs of the school (see: the response to how we make admissions decisions), and this means we look for different things each year based on what we need to balance the grade. We encourage you to register for an Admissions at Lakeside webinar with Director of Admissions and Financial Aid Wellesley Wilson to hear more about how Lakeside makes admissions decisions each year.
