去年EA Harvard AO 打分 overall 2分

来源: 于 2023-11-24 12:42:21 [旧帖] [给我悄悄话] 本文已被阅读：次

Academic Rating：   2+

Extracurricular Rating： 2

Athletic Rating：            4

Personal Rating：    2

 

Overall: 2　（假设第一个最大格子是　overall score)

校友 interview 2+ (校友EC 打分是 1-）

校友ｉｎｔｅｒｖｉｅｗ　之后有一框，打分是　２＋。　不知道是什么。

 

其它还有几个打分，不知道是什么意思。 也都是２　（２＋　ｏｒ　２－）.

两个 AO 看起来基本一致。 评语很积极。但是 AO highlighted 的地方和我们原来想的（本坛排名）并非一致。有些差别。　甚至同一类EC，　AO　highlighted　的是低一级别的成绩。

有些缩写看不懂，　比如　AIV, FH?

 

打分和我们原来想的有些不一样。比如EC部分，我们认为会比2高，　应该　１－　ｏｒ　至少２＋．　看起来这个一分大刺二分刺也不好区分。　Personal Rating    2　这个有点超出预期。因为一般都说亚裔这这个方面很容易被压分。

总分２，四大类里３个２分，　一个４分。　大数据说是　４３－８０％　录取率。

看起来大学申请，家长和孩子的预判和实际都会有出入。 运气成分很重要。 我们是运气好，personal 部分也拿到2分，幸运地被录取了。要不然两个 2分估计录取就悬了　

 

 

 

对打分分析

First, a breakdown of how Harvard's 4 main factors are assessed on a scale of 1-6 (1 being the best):

Academic Rating (0.5% of applicants get a 1, 42.3% of applicants get a 2):

  1. Summa potential. Genuine scholar; near-perfect scores and grades (in most cases) combined with unusual creativity and possible evidence of original scholarship.

  2. Magna potential: Excellent student with superb grades and mid-to-high-700 scores (33+ ACT).

  3. Cum laude potential: Very good student with excellent grades and mid-600 to low-700 scores (29 to 32 ACT).

  4. Adequate preparation. Respectable grades and low-to-mid-600 scores (26 to 29) ACT).

  5. Marginal potential. Modest grades and 500 scores (25 and below ACT).

  6. Achievement or motivation marginal or worse.

Difference between 1 and 2: You need to show academic excellence outside of just your grades and test scores in order to get a 1, most often through very prestigious academic competitions/awards and/or published research with a professor.

 

Extracurricular Rating (0.3% of applicants get a 1, 23.8% of applicants get a 2):

  1. Unusual strength in one or more areas. Possible national-level achievement or professional experience. A potential major contributor at Harvard. Truly unusual achievement.

  2. Strong secondary school contribution in one or more areas such as class president, newspaper editor, etc. Local or regional recognition; major accomplishment(s).[in another filing]: "Significant school, and possibly regional accomplishments: for example, an applicant who was the student body president or captain of the debate team and the leader of multiple additional clubs."

  3. Solid participation but without special distinction. (Upgrade 3+ to 2- in some cases if the e/c is particularly extensive and substantive.)

  4. Little or no participation.

  5. Substantial activity outside of conventional EC participation such as family commitments or term-time work (could be included with other e/c to boost the rating or left as a "5" if it is more representative of the student's commitment).

  6. Special circumstances limit or prevent participation (e.g. a physical condition).

Difference between 1 and 2: You have to achieve at a national/professional level in your activities in order to get a 1, simply being elite at a school or state level will not get you over a 2 in this category.

 

Athletic Rating (0.9% of applicants get a 1, 9.2% of applicants get a 2):

  1. Unusually strong prospect for varsity sports at Harvard, desired by Harvard coaches.

  2. Strong secondary school contribution in one or more areas; possible leadership role(s).

  3. Active participation.

  4. Little or no interest.

  5. Substantial activity outside of conventional EC participation such as family commitments or term-time work (could be included with other e/c to boost the rating or left as a "5" if it is more representative of the student's commitment).

  6. Physical condition prevents significant activity.

Difference between 1 and 2: Being recruited for a sport will get you a 1 here, but you can still help out your case a lot by being a strong non-recruited high school athlete and qualifying for a 2.

 

Personal Rating (0.0% of applicants -- or below 50 total every year -- get a 1, 20.8% of applicants get a 2):

  1. Outstanding

  2. Very Strong

  3. Generally Positive

  4. Bland or somewhat negative or immature

  5. Questionable personal qualities

  6. Worrisome personal qualities

Difference between 1 and 2: Way too vague to tell for sure, but some traits I often heard from Harvard alumni interviewers for students that received a 1 are "seemed like they would be amazing friends for their classmates", "didn't appear to treat college like a competition for grades", "wouldn't be intimidated by other bright and active people", and "memorable even 20-30 years later." Essentially, you must stand out as a person everyone wants to be around (which is highly subjective)... how you do that is really a unique thing for everyone
