大学所寻求的东西清楚地表明,在招生人员眼里——以及在生活中——什么才是重要的,而学生常常据此做出响应。
Dr. Pérez, a first-generation college student who grew up in a low-income family, recently revamped Trinity’s process to better identify promising students, particularly the disadvantaged. While reading applications, its admissions officers now look for evidence of 13 characteristics — including curiosity, empathy, openness to change and ability to overcome adversity — that researchers associate with successful students. These are also qualities that the liberal-arts college values, inside and outside the classroom.
佩雷兹出身于一个低收入家庭,是家中的第一代大学生,他最近改革了三一学院的招生程序,以便识别出有前途的学生,尤其是弱势学生。现在,该学院的招生人员阅读申请材料时,会寻找13个特质,其中包括好奇心、同理心、乐于接受改变和有能力克服困境等。被研究人员拿来与优秀学生挂钩的这些特质,也是诸多文理学院在课堂内外所看重的。
Trinity’s officers can check as many qualities as apply using a drop-down box labeled “Predictors of Success.” They must note where they saw evidence of each quality in the application. “It can’t be just a hint,” Dr. Pérez said. He recalls a teacher recommendation describing how an applicant had taken a stand on a controversial social issue in class, even though other students vocally disagreed with him. Impressed, Dr. Pérez checked the box for “Comfort in Minority of 1,” a sign, perhaps, that the student would contribute to campus dialogues. Also on the drop-down: “Delayed Gratification” and “Risk Taking.”
