These make excellent christmas gifts , if the recepient is a high school student and the gifter is a sadist. 这些优秀的圣诞节礼物 , 如果受赠人是一个高中学生及gifter是sadist 。
Still, I’m bringing them back up again because I think that everyone who has already been admitted to college–whether you’re a graduate or just a relaxed senior–should read these books.还有,我把他们回来了,因为我想每个人都已经承认大学生不论您是研究生或只是一个宽松的高级应阅读这些书籍。 If you haven’t been admitted yet, well–the anxiety might kill you, so wait until afterwards.如果你还没有得到承认,但是,良好的焦虑可能要杀了你,所以等到事后。

I have lots of time, but if I don’t get suggestions soon it will just turn to political books as I prepare for my spring term internship in Washington.我有很多的时间,但如果我不得到建议尽快将动不动就向政治书籍,我准备为我的春季学期实习在华盛顿举行。 I’m looking at you, admissions officers and higher education marketers–I know you’re reading!我期待你,招生人员和高等教育营销-我知道你正在阅读!

2 二I haven’t read The Chosen or The Price of Admission but back a few years when I applied to school, I definitely read The Gatekeepers, which I didn’t find too terrifying.我没有看过选择或价格入场,但早在数年,当我申请到学校,我一定看过看门人,我没找过可怕的。 I found it quite enjoyable to read compared to all those Michelle Hernandez how-to get into an Ivy League school books.我发现它相当愉快的阅读相比,所有这些米歇尔埃尔南德斯如何得以进入一个长春藤盟校的书籍。 I suppose The Gatekeepers is a bit outdated now, though…我猜想那些守门的是一个有点过时,现在虽然…

4 四Wow, how did I miss these comments?哇,我是怎样错过这些评论? I must have been too carried away in the post-admitted haze to notice, and for that I’m sorry.我要一直过于冲昏头脑,在后承认烟霞通知,并表示,我很抱歉。 Chris- looks like that could be a good resource, nice discussion there, I’ll have to investigate.克里斯-看来这可能是一个很好的资源,很好的讨论吧,我要调查。 And ryan, I know you’re just speaking chinese now, and I’m sorry I can’t respond in mandarin, but–I read the Gatekeepers and wasn’t really very satisfied with it, as I said.和瑞安,我知道您刚刚谈到,中国现在有,我很抱歉我不能回应国语,但我看过看门人,并没有真的感到很满意,因为我说的。
As for you, Libbie- I would probably put off reading it until after you’ve got all your admissions letters in hand, otherwise it could produce depression and feelings of doom!至于你, libbie -我可能会推迟读它,直到你做好了你的招生信件在手,否则很可能产生抑郁症和情感的末日!
