在许多学校里,财务问题会影响录取决定。美国全国大学招生咨询协会(National Association for College Admission Counseling)最近的一份报告发现,大约有一半的院校表示,申请人的“支付能力”在招生决定中至少“有一定重要性”。其他目标还包括地域多样性,它现在被视为大学实力和受欢迎程度的一个指标。(有些校长会因为新生不是全国50个州的人都有而不满)。学校也可能需要一定数量的工程专业学生或者球队的守门员。
Indeed, a college could accept 33 percent of all applicants, but that doesn’t mean each applicant has a one-in-three chance. Success depends on what a student brings to the table.
事实上,一所大学可能会接收33%的申请人,但这并不意味着每个申请人都有三分之一的机会。申请成功与否,取决于学生能够带来什么。
Generally, nothing carries more weight in admissions than grades (plus strength of the high school curriculum) and ACT/SAT scores. With limited time and resources, those metrics offer a relatively quick way to predict who will succeed. But the measures have drawbacks. Grade inflation has complicated the task of evaluating achievements, and so has the variance in high school grading policies. Standardized test scores correlate with family income; white and Asian-American students fare better than black and Hispanic students do. Also, when colleges talk about predicting “success,” they usually mean first-year grades — a limited definition.
