Applicants can send images, a short video and a PDF that shed light on a project they’ve undertaken — clothing they’ve made, apps they’ve designed, cakes they’ve baked, furniture they’ve built, chain mail they’ve woven. M.I.T. also asks students to explain what the project meant to them, as well as how much help they got. A panel of faculty members and alumni reviews the portfolios.
申请者可以发送图片、短片和PDF文档,阐明自己参与的一个项目——他们制作的服装、设计的应用程序、烘焙的蛋糕、制作的家具,或编织的锁子甲。麻省理工学院还要求学生们解释这个项目对他们的意义,以及他们得到了多少帮助。一个由教职员工和校友组成的小组负责对这份档案进行评审。
Last year, about 5 percent of applicants submitted a Makers Portfolio. “It gives us a fuller picture of the student,” said Stuart Schmill, dean of admissions and student financial services. “Without this, some applicants might not be able to fully get across how good a fit they are for us.”
去年,约有5%的申请者提交了自己的创客档案。“它能让我们更全面地了解某个学生,”招生和学生财务支持部主任斯图尔特·施米尔(Stuart Schmill)说。“如果没有这个,有些申请者可能无法全面展示自己多么符合我们的期望。”
M.I.T.’s experiment has sparked discussions among admissions deans, some of whom say they plan to offer similar opportunities for applicants to send evidence of project-based learning. They describe the Makers Portfolio as an intriguing glimpse of how a college might better align its process with its culture and values. The catch: Reviewing all those portfolios takes time, something admissions offices lack. Even a small college like Olin, which welcomed fewer than 100 new students this fall, must scramble to pull off its elaborate evaluations. Larger campuses couldn’t even consider such an approach.
