以下是引用never3738在2008-9-7 13:13:00的发言:请教前辈: 偶申请Silver Scholars,有几个问题: (1)我GPA不太高,是不是影响挺大的? (2)轮次区别大吗?ROUND 2 OR 3 的名额不多? 因为我想这学期努力一下,把综合GPA提高,申请第二轮或者第三轮的。 谢谢。 For Silver Scholar, GPA is quite important, because you don't have full time W/E to demonstrate your ability. However, adcoms always take a holistic review of your applicaiton package. Generally, adcoms focus on the following criteria: 1) GPA 2) Internship 3) Awards and Prizes 4) Extra-cirriculum activities 5) G/T You may be able to compensate your low GPA by internship experience at a bluechip company, or outstanding awards and prizes, or very high G/T. Apply when you are ready, but generally speaking, the earilier the better. Yale usually only takes one silver scholar from China every year (I don't know this number is planned or not). If you apply in R2, and the spot was already taken, the chance of getting in is slim. If your essays and recommendations are ready, I would suggest you to apply in R1. |
