回覆 bobbycheung 的帖子
我的query係作者點解話＂劍橋嘅取錄率約7-8%＂ I thought this is the easiest part to understand. When the writer said 7-8%, he was referring to the HK students applying Cambridge from HK. He said "據說同期赴劍橋面試的二十多名港生中，只有兩名獲無條件直接取錄，劍橋取錄率約7-8%. If that 二十多名港生 was 25 to 28 people, that made the offer rate from 7.1% - 8%. That's how writer came up the figure 劍橋嘅取錄率約7-8%.
。我家吓都唔明。請解釋我怎樣答了自己的query？ 另外，作者話學生應該首先評估自己的入學機會是否比公佈取綠百份率高先去申請。我就話根本好難去評估自己的入學機會, 所以作者講嘅方法，連第一步都做唔到。 That was the part that I referred to as "your query". You said "我就話根本好難去評估自己的入學機會". But you then gave your sharing on what might affect your acceptance rate. You are now actually 評估自己的入學機會
In team of different subjects: "想分享少少經驗。當年考慮比孩子去英國讀書時，亦做過類似 research. 首先 identify 幾間心儀嘅學校，跟著去學校網站睇吓過去幾年入 Oxbridge 嘅 admission rate. 雖然年年唔同，不過通常都會在某個 range 之內。但再深入睇落去就發現有問題，因為英國學生讀嘜野科都有，例如 Classics, History, English 及 Languages...... 好似 Westminster School 咁，入 Oxbridge 嘅 admission rate 可能多過 50%, 但如果申請好多香港人想讀嘅科目例如醫科及法律等，有時都只係得1至2個人。咁就算有50% 嘅 admission rate，睇嚟又沒有甚麼作用。"
In team of when where you went to study in UK schools: 我只是將自己行過嘅路，講出嚟同大家分享。仲有一點就係嗰d去英國讀 Year 12 嘅學生。相對於嗰d由細讀上嚟嘅學生，你入去讀 Year 12, 差不多一年後就申請大學。人地喺學校讀咗10幾年，重要位置肯定已經比人坐咗，而老師對佢地亦有好深嘅認識。而你只去得一年，除非你係特別出眾，否則老師寫 recommendation letter 時，你或會比較蝕底。基本上，你同佢地唔係 on an equal footing. 咁依d所講嘅 Oxbridge admission rate 亦未必用得著。 In fact, there is no absolute right or wrong as to how individual parents or students assess their success rate when it comes to applying Oxbridge (or US Ivies or any other top university in the world). I'm just trying to say, the key point is that individual candidates should assess their application beforehand: find out what is their strong/weak points and improve them before making a serious application. General admission statistic does not reflect individual true success rate. Not everyone has the same chance. Thank you
Please tell me where and when did I say the general admission statistic should be used as an indicator? 要知道我話好難去評估自己入學嘅機會, but it is not the same as saying every application has an equal chance, is it? 打個比喻(未必好貼切，但 off hand 只想到這個example)，我話好難估計自己唔食幾日野會唔會死，但這並不等如話所有人唔食幾日野都有 equal chance of survival喎。又或者有10個男仔追緊同一個女仔，我話好難評估自己追唔追到，但並不等如10個男仔都有equal chance.
至於你話 not all Oxbridge applicants are equally strong in every aspect, did I ever suggest otherwise?
謝謝答覆。 |
