发帖数: 304 | 1 几个问题：
1. Math Olympiad 到底是不是中国的奥数？ 学校专门有选拔，组织team, 似乎美国的
这种是竞赛型的，中国的奥数有点个人提高班的意思？
2. Math Olympiad是不是课外活动？孩子除了做题以外, 还做什么？家长需要很帮忙吗
？几年级参加比较好？
3. 和学校教的除了更超前，更深入以外，有没有什么不同？ 对提高数学成绩有帮助吗？
4. 如果不是数学天才，但是数学成绩还可以, 建议参加吗？
5. Math Count 又是什么？ 又有什么不同？
6. Math Circle 感觉是高大上, 是不是除了数学天才，就免了？
谢谢啦！ |

math circle or math club才是数学小组。我觉得对提高兴趣是最好的。。如果有好老师

发帖数: 304 | 5 谢谢答疑。另外，请问这个比赛频繁吗？需要家长周末经常开去附近比赛吗？
本来没想过这些问题，但我确实是被孩子的学校同学(和某些推家长)，个个想进school
Math Olympiad team，学校又规定了名额，(只有35人)， 需要选拔录取， 搞得家长
们都有些不淡定了。
如果确实有好处，当然人人都想孩子参加。不过，至少我们这里，从家长，学校，
maybe even kids 的反应， 感觉好像这个不太同于一般的课外活动，也绝不是只是同
学一起social 一下。

那么，你是不是建议如果想参加初中，高中Math Count, AMC 什么的， 小学还是应该
参加这个Math Olympiad team?
另外，请问到底这数学能推， 能训练吗？训练有用吗？ 总觉得，这可不像钢琴，不是
拼小时数，就能达到一定的水平的。不是那块料，做再多的题，还是不开窍吧？ 如果
只是一般聪明，放在天才中间，只怕是摧毁孩子的自信心。 |

希腊古代的纪年也与四年一届雷打不动的古代奥运会有着不小的关系。中国历史中有个

发帖数: 22634 | 45 USAMO 是指 United States Math Olympiad。。。我类比生造了 FRAMO，指 France
Math Olympiad。。。
top 100 list 指 National top 100 list。。。
你不常来这个版，这个版上说到 top xxx list，如果不加修饰语，缺省是指 National
top xxx list。。。当然如果是新加坡这种鼻屎国，那发帖看帖时自己酌情打个折。

觉得他们的想法和经历对正在选学校的家长或许有可借鉴之处，所以把谈话记录拿来分

我：你觉得Bronxville和Scarsdale哪个更好呢？
小D（白人男孩，去年Ivy本科毕业，高中在Westchester的公立学校）：当然是
Scarsdale，我们当时参加Science Olympiad，主要的竞争对手是Scarsdale，没注意到
Bronxville的队。也许他们也参加了，只是队不强，没有引起注意。
我：听说Scarsdale竞争太激烈了。你有什么看法？
小D: 我听说过一些不太好的故事，比如学生偷了图书馆的书，好让别人借不到书而不
能好好复习，以及考试作弊。在竞争激烈的地方，也不奇怪。
我：既然Ivy League在Westchester各个小区的录取比例相对平均，是不是上一个
lesser school其实更容易获得录取呢？这样也不会对小孩有undue pressure。
小D：但是强的学校，比如Scarsdale，会有很好的资源。学校有很好的老师和学科竞赛
教练，这个是很重要... 阅读全帖 |

标 题: TJ 申请的题外话
发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Thu Nov 22 09:24:25 2012, 美东)
今儿闲着也是闲着，就侃一个 TJ 攻略。其实对考大学都通用。话说 TJ 入学申请，有
几个评估点（及所占评估比例）：
１）入学考试成绩 （数学成绩，２０％）
２）两篇短文 （２５％）
３）中学GPA （数学和科学课目，１５％）
４）学生信息表（类似 RESUME，２０％）
５）两封老师推荐信 （２０％）
无庸讳言，首先孩子的中学成绩要出色，尤其是数学和科学课程的成绩一定要名列前矛
。但是也不要偏科，以免总成绩掉档。
其次，和老师搞好关系，找到几个对孩子知根知底，也喜欢孩子的老师，以后可以联系
给孩子写推荐信。
再者，让孩子坚持写作训练，吃透 TJ 短文的考试方式及高分策略。必要时，请家教辅
导，强化写作训练。
最后，对孩子的强弱项有一个清醒的认识，取长补短。长处，无限扩大；短处，尽力弥
补（或隐藏）。
下面着重讲一下长期准备计划... 阅读全帖 |

Are you going to pay Cuiyi, say $5000~$1,000/hr for the tutoring?
Go find some senior Chemistry undergraduate students with good grades and
recently took Chemistry GRE, so they have general concept refresh.
Those from Stanford or Berkeley Chemistry would be nice.
You can go to the campus, pose some notes on the Chemistry Building.
There was a good Math Olympiad teacher in Cupertino a couple years ago. He
used to one of the coaches of Chinese Math Winter Camp for Olympiad. N |

Slippery Slope
False Analogy
First, the selection criteria for Science Olympiad and college admission are
different. The former is one test (or three total tests) determines all
while the latter might consider MANY factors other than test scores.
Second, the purposes of the two events are different. Science Olympiad is
almost a pure competition to find the BEST while college is for education
for the next generation.
Third, if you think that a top university full of Asian is t... 阅读全帖 |
