Answer 1

要擠進美國最佳大學，擁有好成績和高分數並不足夠。諸如哈佛、耶魯和史丹佛等一流大學，每年吸引成千上萬聰明、有才華、動機強烈、滿懷希望的申請者。數據顯示，單是申請頂尖大學的第一名畢業生便往往超過學校綠取名額。由於申請者的平均總成績和考試分數都很類似，其他因素在最後錄取決定中日漸重要。
一般而言，申請者在四方面接受評估：
１．優異學業成績
２．課外卓越表現：這名學生在哪些領域或以何種方式有別於同濟？
３．個人特質：進行活動和獲得成就的性格
４．整體評估：他們尋找傑出的人，其特點包括：
ａ）適應力和成熟
ｂ）投入、貢獻和影響的程度
ｃ）動機、熱愛
ｄ）智慧想像和創造力
ｅ）性格堅毅、判斷良好
ｆ）幽默感、謙遜
ｇ）領導能力、未來潛力
