“我们想要更好的申请内容,”耶鲁大学的本科生招生和财务援助部主任杰里迈亚·昆兰(Jeremiah Quinlan)说。“我们目前看到的内容能预测学术方面的成功。现在,我们可以通过一种不同的申请更好地了解一名学生。”
Like many deans, Mr. Quinlan has grown wary of polished personal essays in which applicants describe their achievements. “They feel like they have to show off, because we’re so selective,” he said, “and it’s completely understandable.” Technology, he believes, can help colleges get to know the student beneath the surface of a résumé, to gain a better sense of their passions, the kind of community member the applicant might be.
和很多招生主任一样,昆兰也越来越警惕那些经过精心修饰,描述个人成就的申请信。“他们觉得自己必须炫耀,因为我们太挑剔了,”他说,“这是完全可以理解的。”他认为,科技可以帮助大学了解简历背后的学生,更清楚申请者的激情所在,以及他们可能融入哪种群体。
Last year, Yale allowed students using the coalition’s application to submit a document, image, audio file or video in response to a prompt (they also had to reflect, in 250 words or less, on their submission). When Justin Aubin heard about that option last fall, he thought, “Cool!”
去年,耶鲁大学允许学生使用该联盟的应用程序,根据提示提交一份文件、一张图片、一段音频或视频(他们还必须用一段250个单词以内的话概括自己的申请)。去年秋天,贾斯汀·奥宾(Justin Aubin)听说有这个选项后心想:“酷!”
