仔仔有清晰目標真好,他又努力讀書,如果是我,我會準備多D營養豐富食物幫他加油,他肯的話傾多D計減下壓。不過話時話,我相信申請劍橋的學生大部分成績都夠入,會否要勝在personal statement, 會否有其他課外活動有影響,會否是面試較優勝?我自己就會花多D時間去收下料,近日聽過一升學顧問講過英國大學亦開始參考成績以外的因素,未必只看成績,他笑説Oxford 發現部分學生只識讀書,要派D高年級學生做mentor, 協助融入大學生活。

正是,成績夠並不一定可以入到,Cambridge 常説GCE 要A*AA, 但入到的有很多是3,4個A*以上的。所以一定要讓孩子有心理/兩手準備,另外Cambridge, 有interview 及筆試。聽說每年收的香港學生有很多都是讀IB/GCE或英國讀中學的,從DSE 入的是小數, 當然如果小朋友的中學已有先例,入機會會大一點,因學校的support  也很重要(reference letter, predicted grade, interview training etc.)

重點是manage expectation

但佢成日都好緊張 好怕自己輸比人
分享一些經驗:

劍橋的收生成績不是最低成績,是考量完 personal statement, aptitude  test, interview, college essay or more, 綜合之後,肯收你之話,他們開出的 offer 是比你的PG還要低,因為真的想收你,不要以此作標準!

亦要有兩手準備!



God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

也是一些經驗分享。如果小朋友真是有入讀牛劍的材料,作為父母真是唔需要、亦都無乜野(係呢個時候)可幫。首先入牛劍學最重要講成績。學生差不多是要頭 3% 尖子(全港, 不是全校)先認真有機會獲得考慮(此乃根據學生的校內PG), 之後再睇你的 interview + test 。再加上其他條件(ECA, leadership),personal statement、school reference letters。正如上面回答說網頁上所說的成績是說如給予你入學 offer 所須成績。
http://www.kings.cam.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/entrance-requirements.html
"Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education
Our standard HKDSE offer is 5*, 5*, and 5 in three electives."

如果學生預計只得呢個成績,咁就唔使諗啦!至於如何寫 personal statement, 更加唔使擔心。學生有咁既成績、理想,他自己和在學校的幫助下,一定寫到一篇能配合自己並能打動 admission officer 的 personal statement。好多例子顯示,成功的 person statement or college essay 並不是能從網上參考返來的。是根據自己的 passion 去寫的,如孩子有咁嘅成績和理想,恭喜你。你真是不用擔心。

Advise your son to keep a certain level ofexercise which can help him relax and refresh.  He doesn’t need more external pressure.  Don’t let him notice that you are veryconcerned about his DSE results or U destination.  Show your care simply by preparing nutritioussoup, etc.

The 3 tips of this Oxford professor are quite valid for HKDSEcandidates:

You may be able to helpyour son with respect to point 1 of the above tips.

Experience sharing too:
Personal statement: Need to start the 1st draft NOW, if not already done. Focus on PASSION towards the subject applying, what the student has done in the past, beyond the classroom, regarding the subject. If the subject is academic in nature, e.g. science, language, what books did he read, which part he is interested, describe in details. What enrichment course did he take? If vocational in nature, e.g. law, what has been done to explore if he is really interested in the subject. Any internship? Summer job?
No more than 1/3 of the statement should be for extra-curricular activities, leadership role. It's better to link how the activities are related to the subject applying
Ask a few teachers (who have experience with Cambridge application) to comment on the statement

Interview plus aptitude test: The aim is to check the POTENTIAL of the student in studying the subject. The on-campus interview is usually done by the academic staff of the college applying. It will closely follow the format of the future small group tutorial of the college. In fact, it's the time for the academic staff to choose the students that they would like to teach in future. Show that you have the insight, have the valid arguing points. You don't have to be right. But show your argument, which should make sense, and show your personal insight.
Do some mock interview with teachers.

申報 : 我的小朋友今年9月入U, 現在UK 讀AL, 今年年頭去了 cambrige interview, 可惜太多人爭沒有offer

正如樓上家長所說, 成績+personal statement 係主要入場卷, 其次才到 testing & interview.  不過照你所說你的兒子有目標和努力不須太擔心.其實我的小朋友考AL也不比DSE輕鬆, 佢都是埋頭苦讀, 而身為家長的我們只有信任他們的能力, 因只有信任他們你才可不斷鼓勵和為他們打氣, 多D同小朋友傾計是最好的減霍方法.

Academic performance, written test and interview normally are used for ranking first.  As long as the personal statement is not a "failure", it is not as important as many may think because it is prone to "external intervention".  The following old news article gives some more clues:

If the school has university counsellor following up his Cambridge application, your son may not need to enrol in other Oxbridge prep course.
My son's school has good guidance from university counsellors on each Oxbridge application, starting from Mar/Apr when all students who want to apply Oxbridge have to make up their mind regarding the subjects to be applied. Then there is a workshop on writing of personal statement, deadline imposed on 1st draft, arranging review by several teachers and subject experts, assign subject mentors for preparing written test and interview. My son got a conditional offer from Oxbridge right now. He is waiting for release of IB result if he can meet the offer condition.

If the school can provide support similar to the above, and there are sufficient precedent cases that the students in the school have been admitted by Oxbridge before, I personally think that there is no need to enrol in prep course
