呀仔成績唔係Top嗰啲，$$$更加係考慮因素。請問哪條路較易入到好啲嘅US大學呢？ 可以比啲意見嗎？
（1） 入US high school---考SAT
(2) HK中五或中六後入US community college再入大學

考美國社區學院，成績好第二或三年入大學。不用考sat。好彩仲有奬學金。

cambo  Heard some parents comment that some students at community college are not good.  Some stay there for several years unless they get strict A in English to go to universities.  發表於 13-4-27 12:17

我哋都係選後者多！除咗$$$之外，亦擔心呀仔過去讀high school心智未成熟易學壞（呀媽係麻煩啲）。多謝您的分享！

你講得啱呀〜喺有限資源下都係搏下咋！
其實呀仔想早啲脫苦海唔讀中文，但我哋15、16都唔之邊樣最好〜唯有揀平啲嗰樣負擔冇咁重啦！

我屋企都是甘嘅，考到幾間神級名校都無錢讀。后尾我去左的好偏僻嘅地方，仲去左農場做也半供讀一年，不過都好彩，最後又拿到奬學金入番。如果你小朋友生性，就給他搏下。人生好奇怪，要搏先會贏。當然也要感恩。

There some good small US universities offer conditional accpetance to their schools.  If your English level is not good enough, you will be accepted to study English first (you also live in the University dormitories). At the same time, you will be allowed to take some university courses.  Once you demonstrate your English level is good enough (like taking the TOEFL or SAT), you will then be admitted as a full-time university student.  The courses you take before will be granted credits to count towards your degree.

These are usually church based small unversities situated in small towns USA.  Good people, and good teachers.  If your kid put yoourself into the community activities, he/she will develop an excellent command of English, both in speaking and writing.  Many of their graduates eventually continue to famous graudate schools, law schools and medical schools for further studies.  To name a few of these schools:
- Pacific Lutheran University (Luthersan Church)
- Seattle University (Catholic Church)
- University of Puget Sound (??)
All together these unversities are called "Liberal Arts Colleges".  They train their students well.  Unlilke big schools, students are left alone by themselves.   The more remote these schools are, the cheaper they are.  If you find one in say, South Dakota, Wyoming, etc.  The fees should be less expensive.

Thanks for your info.

Just wonder what their ranking are, as I could search that from the Ranking List.  

Please share with me if possible. Thanks!

My advice is not to be concerned with ranking.  One should evaluate the schools based on price-performance, meaning the money you pay on getting what your son will receive.    Besides, unless your son gets into one of top 10 -20 schools (Harvard, Preceton, MIT, Cornell, Dartmouth, Swarthmore, Amerherst, and the like), it really doesn't matter whether he goes to a No. 30 school versus a No. 103 school. (You mentioned your son is not a top student, getting into a Top 20 schools might be difficult.  In addition, they require an excellent command of English.  They are not patient to prepare the students getting ready.  But the small liberal arts colleges are more patient.)

Secondly, be the time your son goes into the work force, it would be better if he has a professional degree, like an engineering, accounting, law, whatever.  Please note US professional schools (business schools, law schools, medical schools, PhD programs, etc.) love to take students from small liberal arts colleges.  For reasons that these graduates' writing, critical thinking, breath of knowledge are quite high.  More important is that your son gets into a top-notch graduate school or professional school.  Don't spend too much money on undergraduate schools.

I graduated from a small school with no more than 3,000 students with no ranking.  They trained me well.  Looking at the Alumni news, one of my classmates in the US now is the CEO of an airline company.  The other is the Senior Partner with a major multinational law firm.  

I do not do as well as they do.  But I am not doing badly, and honestly, without the training I received from the US liberal arts college, I would not have gotten to where I am today.  The path was difficult since I did not have a big name school name to open doors for me.  But the education I recieved has served me well, and enabled me to do a lot of things that most other big school graduates could not do.

Obiepapa,  
You obviously come from Casper College, and I suppose you have similar experience as me.  Is it a liberal arts college?   I could not land on their website.

Glad to know that someone can appreciate the value of "liberal arts" training, instead of only knowing the practical value of Business and Finance.

Thanks for sharing! My husband totally agreed with you that I should not only focus on the ranking. My son's English level is OK and is ranked at the top 10 in the school form, but is not so smart at the other subjects especially Chinese. He also does not have much more confidence in the class but his performance is better than as expected during the debate competition. I feel that he can develop himself much more in an English environment and he also wants to study in US. That's why I want to send him aboard to broaden his mind and find his path. May I also have your advice what subject is suitable for him in university. I have asked him the same before but he has no idea at all and likes to day dream>_<!!!

That is the beauty of a small liberal arts college.  They allow you to take 2, or even 3, years to find out what you are good at, and what you are interested in.  You first have to take the required core subjects: Math, Sciences, Social Sciences, Humanities, etc, to fulfill the foundation requirements.  Then you take more classes and accumulate credits in the discipline you like to fulfill the graduation requirements. Then you can graduate with a degree,

I think making students to fix on a study discipline at the start of university is crazy.  It wastes so much talent.  I studied sciences at Hk's  secondary school, but I hated it and never did well.  Just like other HK students, I thought I SHOULD study to become an engineer.  So I chose Computer Sciences to start with.  But after 2 classes, I found out I was not an engineer material.  I enjoyed the humanities instead.  I ended up graduating with double majors in Economics and Theology.  Interesting, ah?  

Well, don't be concerned what your son SHOULD study.  Let him explore and find out what he is good at, and enjoys.  I always believe when people find what they enjoy doing, they will naturally excel in them.   Listing to what you describe of your son, I believe he can manage and will do well.   The key is to send him to a good liberal arts college and stay away from all the Chinese.  Good luck.

My view to this is, first year, focus on the basic subjects like English, math (calculus if possible), economics, general studies. If you are going to four year school, just have to make sure all these classes taken in the first year are transferable to the university. This will buy him a year of time to see his own path. He can find out more while talking to professors or classmates locally. At the end, he has to make the decision himself and be responsible to it.
