How important are my senior year courses and grades in the admission process?
我大學(xué)第四年選修的課程和分數(shù)在申請過程中有多重要？
Your senior year is not only a full one-quarter of your high school career, but it often includes some of the most substantial college preparatory coursework. So, from our standpoint, your senior year curriculum and performance are important indicators of your potential as a Brown student. Students who take a lighter course load or who show signs of underperforming academically are often passed over in favor of applicants who (at least) maintain the rigor of their program and their best academic work. (Even admitted students should take care not to catch ?senioritis. We review all the grades for both Early Decision and Regular Decision admitted students to make sure they are not demonstrating a level of decline that might cause us to have second thoughts about our decision!)
答：你大學(xué)第四年所修的課程不光包括高中的一部分課程，而且還有一大部分大學(xué)預(yù)科課程。對于招生申請而言，我們很看重你大四的成績，以衡量你在布朗的學(xué)習(xí)能力。對于選修輕松課程或者學(xué)習(xí)成績不如意的學(xué)生，我們看重的是你持之以恒的精神和盡最大努力的恒心。我們會綜合衡量你的成績 對于你在早申請和正常申請期間的錄取，但愿不要因為你成績的逐漸退步而讓我們失望。
How important are the alumni interviews?
校友的面試有多重要？
There are many dimensions to an application to Brown, and the conversation with a graduate of the University is just one. Our alumni write to us about the strengths they see in candidates based on that relatively brief encounter. Rarely will an interview be the determining factor in an application, but we suggest that you view it as an opportunity to learn more about Brown and to further convey your best qualities as a student and person.
答：布朗大學(xué)綜合考慮一個學(xué)生的申請背景，而與校友交談只是一方面。我們的校友經(jīng)常寫來鑒于他們短暫交流的關(guān)于申請人優(yōu)勢的推薦信，但是校友的面試很少能成為我們錄取的決定性因素。我們希望你能利用校友面試的機會更好地了解布朗大學(xué)和表現(xiàn)自己。
Are interviews with admission officers offered on campus or in my area?
面試是必須在布朗大校園內(nèi)還是可以在我的學(xué)校舉行？
Given the large number of candidates and our small staff, we are not able to conduct individual interviews on campus or elsewhere. We try to save as much time as possible, though, to answer questions from visitors and callers, and to provide group information sessions and tours to students and their families who come to the campus.
答：鑒于眾多學(xué)生和相對較少的教務(wù)人員，我們無法在校內(nèi)外進行面試。但是我們已經(jīng)盡力提高效率，盡可能地回答參觀人員的問題和提供小組討論以及參觀校園的機會，并提供學(xué)生及家長參觀校園的機會。
Does Brown favor Advanced Placement courses over International Baccalaureate courses or vice versa?
布朗是更喜歡AP課程的學(xué)生還是IB的學(xué)生呢？
No. There is a wide range of curricular programs represented among the more than 5,000 high schools from which our candidates apply. While we are happy to see our applicants take whatever challenging courses are available to them, we do not have a preference forone curricular model over another. When such courses are available, though, our most promising applicants will probably have taken advantage of them.
答：無定論。我們的申請人囊括了5000多所高中的課程。我們很高興看到這些學(xué)生有如此廣泛的興趣，對于他們的個人愛好本身我們完全沒有偏好。
Does Brown take into account the level of competition at different high schools?
布朗會不會考慮不同學(xué)校之間競爭程度的不同？
Yes. Communities vary widely in what they can provide in their high schools, but there are excellent, highly motivated students in every community, and we encourage them to apply.
答：是的. 社區(qū)及其提供的教育差別往往很大，但我們往往看到來自社區(qū)學(xué)校的聰明，優(yōu)秀，自覺自主的學(xué)生，而這正是我們喜歡的.
Does Brown ?rank high schools?
布朗給高中排名嗎？
No. We consider the characteristics of the high school from which our candidates apply, especially the level of academic offerings and rigor, but we concentrate on how well students have used the resources available to them. We do not start with the assumption that students from a certain school are better candidates than those from another school.
答：不。盡管我們很慎重地考慮任何一個申請人的背景和學(xué)術(shù)潛力，我們依然考慮學(xué)生們在條件有限的情況下如何利用了可利用的資源。我們不抱任何偏見，不認為任何名校學(xué)生必定比任何其它學(xué)校的學(xué)生要強。
以上就是布朗大學(xué)招生官揭秘本科錄取標準（三）的全部內(nèi)容了，但愿對大家有所幫助。
