摘几段精华在下面－
第一页中间，关于SAT 25%/75% （注：这里SAT是 CR+math only)
In reality, the bottom 25% (below 1280) is reserved for the school’s “
special interests”: athletes, students of color, development (big donors.)
“To have a real shot,” says Muska “you really have to be at the upper
end of that range.”
第二页lie#2 第二段
Today, more and more college admission officers want – and need – to know
whether the kid can pay full-freight. And if there is a choice between two
virtually-identical applicants – one who needs financial aid and one who
doesn’t – the fat envelope is going to go to the kid who can pay full
tuition.
第三页lie#3 第二段
Colleges want the well-rounded class, not the well-rounded kid – The worst-
kept secret of college admission is that colleges are looking for the well-
rounded class, not the well-rounded kid. They want some real scholars for
every department; some superb athletes; some great musicians and actors; a
few rich kids whose parents can build a library wing; and some legacies to
keep the alumni happy. The applicant who is attractive but not really
special in any one category is going to have a much tougher time getting in.

A last truism: it is often said that there is a college for everyone. That
is certainly true. What is more elusive – but equally true – is that
there is a right-fit college for everyone. But most kids and their parents
never find that school because they are too caught-up in trying to get into
the “best” school rather than the right school. |
