麻省理工学院的试验引发了招生主任们的讨论,他们当中有些人表示,打算为申请者提供类似的机会,证明自己通过项目学到的东西。他们认为,创客档案生动地反映出,大学可以更好地将招生过程与自己的文化和价值观统一起来。问题在于:评审所有这些档案需要时间,而招生办公室缺的就是时间。就连奥林工程学院这种今年秋天只招了不到100名新生的小学院,也必须匆匆忙忙才能完成复杂的评估。更大的学校甚至根本不可能考虑这种方法。
Thorough review has become more challenging over the last decade, with waves of applicants overwhelming big-name colleges, victims of their own popularity. The University of California at Los Angeles received more than 100,000 applications for about 6,000 spots this fall. Stanford got 44,000 for just over 1,700 spots, and M.I.T. juggled more than 20,000 for 1,450 seats.
在过去十年里,全面的评审变得更具挑战性,名牌大学受名声所累,总会收到大量申请。今年秋天,加州大学洛杉矶分校(The University of California at Los Angeles)收到了10万多份申请,但它只有约6000个新生名额;斯坦福大学收到了4.4万份申请,而名额只有1700多个;麻省理工学院则需要在两万多份申请中挑选1450名学生。
Most colleges are considering more incremental ways to enhance evaluations. The Coalition for Access, Affordability and Success, with more than 130 prominent campuses as members, recently established an application platform with a feature called a virtual college locker, a private space where students can upload materials, such as videos and written work, that they could later add to their applications. Among its stated goals: to make admissions more personal.
