Well, at least one who hasn’t already been admitted into their dream college!那麼,至少有一人已不是已經獲准進入他們的大學夢!
These make excellent christmas gifts , if the recepient is a high school student and the gifter is a sadist. 這些優秀的聖誕節禮物 , 如果受贈人是一個高中學生及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.還有,我把他們回來了,因為我想每個人都已經承認大學生不論您是研究生或只是一個寬鬆的高級應閱讀這些書籍。 If you haven’t been admitted yet, well–the anxiety might kill you, so wait until afterwards.如果你還沒有得到承認,但是,良好的焦慮可能要殺了你,所以等到事後。
Jerome Karabel’s杰羅姆卡拉貝的 The Chosen 所選 is scary enough, as a history of elite college admissions.是害怕不夠的,作為一個歷史上的優秀大專招生。
But Daniel Golden’s但丹尼爾金色的 Price of Admission 價格入學 takes the cake for pure fear factor.以蛋糕為純恐懼的因素。 Unless, of course, you’re filthy rich, in which case it might assuage any worries you might have that you can’t buy your way into the school of your choice.當然,除非你一夜暴富,在這種情況下,也許會緩和任何顧慮,你也可能說,你可以不買你的地滲透到學校的你的選擇。
Anyone have any other admissions “must reads”?任何人有任何其他招生"必須寫" ? I’ve said before that I’m not so hot on我已經說過,我沒有那麼炎熱 The Gatekeepers 守門 , but there must be a few more worth reading?的,但一定要有幾個值得一讀? 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.我有很多的時間,但如果我不得到建議盡快將動不動就向政治書籍,我準備為我的春季學期實習在華盛頓舉行。 I’m looking at you, admissions officers and higher education marketers–I know you’re reading!我期待你,招生人員和高等教育營銷-我知道你正在閱讀!

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.我沒有看過選擇或價格入場,但早在數年,當我申請到學校,我一定看過看門人,我沒找過可怕的。 I found it quite enjoyable to read compared to all those Michelle Hernandez how-to get into an Ivy League school books.我發現它相當愉快的閱讀相比,所有這些米歇爾埃爾南德斯如何得以進入一個長春藤盟校的書籍。 I suppose The Gatekeepers is a bit outdated now, though…我猜想那些守門的是一個有點過時,現在雖然…

4 四Wow, how did I miss these comments?哇,我是怎樣錯過這些評論? I must have been too carried away in the post-admitted haze to notice, and for that I’m sorry.我要一直過於沖昏頭腦,在後承認煙霞通知,並表示,我很抱歉。 Chris- looks like that could be a good resource, nice discussion there, I’ll have to investigate.克里斯-看來這可能是一個很好的資源,很好的討論吧,我要調查。 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,我知道您剛剛談到,中國現在有,我很抱歉我不能回應國語,但我看過看門人,並沒有真的感到很滿意,因為我說的。
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!至於你, libbie -我可能會推遲讀它,直到你做好了你的招生信件在手,否則很可能產生抑鬱症和情感的末日! Absolutely a must-read, truly, but not an a primer for junior year college admissions.絕對一定要讀,說真的,但不是一個入門初級學院今年招生。
