美国大学录取最看重的十个方面 The Top 10 Things That Colleges Are Looking For by Bonnie L. Sudduth 编者按：良好的学业成绩是申请国外大学的必要条件，但是仅仅成绩是远远不够的，以下摘选了Bonnie L. Sudduth《The Top 10 Things That Colleges Are Looking For》，希望对有志于出国留学的家庭提供一些参考。 1. Good Grades/Class Rank Grades are one of the most important components that colleges will be looking at. You should have a Grade Point Average (GPA) that reflects hard work. Your grades should show an upward trend. If you got a few C’s in 9th grade, your grades in 10th grade should consist of more A’s B’s. Each year in high school should see a rise in your GPA. This shows that you are working hard to improve. The most competitive colleges are looking for an A or B+ average. In conjunction with this the difficulty of coursework will be taken into consideration with GPA. How challenging are the classes that you have taken? Class rank will show where you rank in relation to your classmates—the higher the BETTER! A higher rank reflects that you have worked harder than others in your class. 1. 良好的成绩及班级排名 高中平时成绩是大学最重视的部分。你应该有一个反映你认真学习的平均学分绩点（GPA）。你的成绩单要呈上升趋势。如果你在9年级有几个C，你在10级应该得更多的A或B。在高中你的GPA每年都在提高。这表明你正在不断努力提高。 最有竞争力的大学寻求平均分是A或B+的学生。GPA会把课程的难度考虑在内。要看你上的课有多少挑战性？ 班级排名显示在你的同学中相对位置，当然越高越好！较高的排名表明你比班上其他人更努力。（并不是每个中学都有排名）。 2.

Do not take only science classes. Include some courses in other academic areas; such as, math, foreign language, English, etc. If your school offers them, include some AP, Honors, or GT classes. Every college provides information on the basic number of courses that you must take in each discipline in high school. Try to exceed the minimum required by the college. If they require two years of foreign language, try to take at least three. 2. 具有挑战性的课程 你应该上一些在不同领域各种具有挑战性的课程。如果你热爱科学，你需要在你的选课中表现出一定的多样性。不要只上科学类的课，包括一些在其他学术范畴的课程，如数学，外语，英语，等等。 如果你有条件，选一些AP课（大学的课），荣誉班，或天才班的
