ED是个什么?
很多人都知道美国大学申请有一个术语叫ED (Early Edecision),每年都有很多学生向自己“梦中女神 ” Dream School 递交ED申请,来表达自己对“女神”学校的“爱慕”,一旦递交了ED申请,这意味着你将许下诺言,只要”女神”眷顾你,你一定会和“女神”牵手走向未来,从此把其他机会都放弃,就算是比“女神”更好的学校录取你,你也必须对“女神”不离不弃。
ED可以说是给学生一个像“女神”学校表示忠心的好机会,学校收到一个ED申请者也是非常开心的,因为这意味着学生就读意愿是100%,只要学生符合学校的申请要求,各个方面都适合学校的校园文化,在竞争者中间处于中上等的位置,被录取的概率真是大大提高啊!
竞争日益激烈的寄宿制美高有没有ED可以选择呢?
是否可以通过表达“忠心”的方式来提高被dream school录取的概率呢?
小编咨询了几所学校后,惊奇的发现,WOW,这简直是个很棒的主意!我们来看看学校的回复:
CT-Marianapolis Preparatory School明尼阿波利斯预备学校:
We are able to offer an early decision once files are complete. Students interested in this option will be expected to confirm enrollment with the return of a signed contract and deposit payment within two weeks of receiving an acceptance letter. If Marianapolis is one of student's top choices, this is a fantastic opportunity to secure his or her enrollment early in the process while space is available.
MD-Saint James School圣詹姆斯学校:(小编遗憾的通知您,2018年1月1日时候,学校已经没有2018秋季名额了,因为ED 已经招满了)
The applicationdeadline for all other students is January 31st. For students/families that are 100% certainthat Saint James is their #1 choice, we do offer an Early Decision (ED)option. Much like with universities, the ED option at SaintJames is binding; students that apply ED are agreeing to enroll if they areaccepted, and they must withdraw any other application with other boarding orday schools. The deadline for ED is December 1st, and theSchool will notify ED applicants of their decision by December 28th.
CA-Dunn School 邓恩学校(小编偷偷告诉你,申请8年级录取机会更大哦)
We consider applicants in our first round (priority) decisions if they have complete applications by February 1st. While of course it is always wonderful and helpful to know if we are a first choice school for an applicant, it is not a requirement.
CT-South Kent School 南肯特男子学校
We are very much interested in taking advantage of ED Program.
申请ED最大的优势有两点:
1、录取速度快
2、大大提高录取成功率
申请ED注意事项:
面试的时候,学校可能会问你为啥对本校“情有独钟”,这意味着学生必须充分了解学校的教育理念,看过学校的课程设置和课外活动,找到和自己的匹配度在哪里,否则糊里糊涂的申请ED也有可能让学校觉得你还没有准备好入读本校哦。
