近来信箱里陆续来了一些大学来信, 邀请孩子查看他们的信息, 欢迎申请上他们那一家大学, 有的就一张明信片, 有的一大包图文并茂的资料. 一边心中佩服这些大学的recruit的工作做得好, 一边满腹狐疑;才十年级呢, 就要开始准备"大学申请"的战斗了吗? 主要是懒字作怪, 望着这么一堆信件, 心想要花多少时间呀. LG说这事就交给你啦. 我说还是交给孩子自己吧. 可过了好几个星期, 那边厢是按兵不动. 也是的, 人家天天回到家来,不是忙忽这个report那个project, 周末 和朋友hang out也是不可或缺的事 (上周末去一个Sadie dance, 回来给我好一阵扫盲,告诉我为什么不能不去. 他有几个buddy 想去还没的去呢,mei被邀请哪). 嗨, 只好由老妈挺身而出, 帮着查看一下这些学校了.
可一看,心里又嘀咕起来, 这么多,工作量也忒大了点儿,有三四十多封呢.很有点束之高阁的想法.不过, 对于”党和人民”交待的任务,不管不顾也于心不忍啊.
这么着,到潭里来打探一下, 恳请过来人指点迷津. 问问同是十年级的家长们,你们如何作的? 孩子已经上大学的家长们,如果查看大学信息,主要看什么? 地点? 课程设置? 学费? 师资?
收到的信件中有些学校还真是闻所未闻, 多亏他们寄信来自我介绍:
Well-known schools: Brown, Columbia, Duke, Emory, Rice, Wesleyan U. , NYU, Washington U. in St. Louis, Tulane, Rice, U. of Chicago, Caltech. [Too bad, no Harvard, Yale… haha…. Stanford and Penn was just advertising for their summer camps]
Many more are not so well-known schools (heard for the first time): Colorado College, Oberlin College, Hendrix College, Rhodes College, Washington and Lee U., Carleton College, Williams College, Swarthmore College, MacAlester College (they boast Kofi Annan graduated from there), UT Dallas, Rochester Ins. Tech, Stevens Ins. Tech., Craighton U. Grinnell College, U. of Delaware, Texas Christian u., southern Methodist u. and so on…
Any idea is appreciated! Any idea can help me save time! THANKS!!
