• 基本没什么可挑剔的。只是12年级前只有3门AP？而且2门文科，却申请CS? -长长短短- ♀ (0 bytes) () 03/24/2015 postreply 00:04:36

• AP少没关系，但分数低了，只分别3,4,5分。 -money4ivy- ♀ (39 bytes) () 03/24/2015 postreply 04:04:59

• 高中三门AP理科，两门是数学，怎么能说没有关系呢，他游泳看着非常好了，那要花多少时间啊 -Duckegg- ♂ (0 bytes) () 03/24/2015 postreply 06:41:41

• 我们都只是在说主观印象而已。我个人没觉得游泳和CS有关系。AP已经学过的三门也没有数学。 -walkabout- ♀ (0 bytes) () 03/24/2015 postreply 06:46:03

• 瞎说一下，他12年级的课，估计能选的已经不多了，几门理科也是能选中最容易的了。 -长长短短- ♀ (0 bytes) () 03/24/2015 postreply 08:08:45

• CS/engineering 最看数学物理，他12年级才学两门AP 数学，申请大学时成绩也看不见。 -swj2000- ♀ (0 bytes) () 03/24/2015 postreply 08:37:03
