考美國大學一問

twosonspa

SAT分數是2180, AP Maths 及 Physics 都是 5, 這幾年全級三甲內, 請問可否估計考入美國UC Berkeley及Stanford的機會如何? 我明白大學還要睇Essay, 介紹信等等. 謝謝.

謝謝分享。我兒現時在美國，看來要找當地醫生做了。

應該冇問題。其實我仔學校有好幾支要打嘅針都係香港衛生署針紙上冇嘅，可以搵私家醫生打，也可以去到先打，我仔都話去到先打，校醫應該知道 exactly 邊幾支要打，費事喺香港打錯

我仔啱啱做左，流程係：
1. 搵私家醫生寫紙，介紹去化驗所或者醫院做 tb test （留意而家唔知點解 tb test 好渴市，我搵左好多間私家醫院都冇晒貨，要等藥廠下一批貨，醫院都唔知幾時，化驗所都一樣，去前先問清楚有冇得做，先叫家庭醫生寫紙）
2. 去化驗所做 test（留意學校嘅要求，tb test 分兩種，一種係 skin test 另一種係 blood test，要跟返學校要求做）
3. 化驗結果出左，再請醫生填寫學校嘅 assessment form


tb test 唔平，整個過程，包括醫生寫紙，做 test，再搵醫生填 form，要二千幾，大約一個星期左右，自己預時間

找政府醫生，叫你私家介紹或直接打政府clinic

剛收到美國大學要求填報一份Tuberculosis (TB) Health Assessment Form, 我查詢了在香港幫我兒子做美國VISA驗身的醫療中心, 他們回覆不能填報, 建議我們帶齊所有針咭及肺片CD, 連同Assessment Form找美國的醫生填報.
如有其他家長曾經幫仔女填報, 請分享你的經驗, 謝謝.

I went to UCLA and Stanford back then and my two brothers went to UC Berkeley.  The classes are so big that you dont need to even show up if you are confident you can handle tests and exams.  One professor did notice me and asked if I want to do some research, but upon knowing I am an international student, he did not bother anymore. So my point is, the amount of interaction between professors and a student in undergrad is not much.  
At the end of the day, we do get a degree from a highly respected university that would help very much with getting a good career.
But if your son wants to pursue post graduate studies, he may want more personal relationship with professors, advisers and probably more research work opps.

Thanks for the information.

希望Williams College 會取錄他, 到時可以報Williams College 同埋Columbia University 的 3-2 Program:

https://physics.williams.edu/pre-engineering/

https://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php/3-2

或是Williams College 同埋Dartmouth College 的Dual-Degree Program:

我個仔沒有申請加州Occidental College 或 Pomona College, 他報了東部的Williams College, 現時是waitlist.

Thanks for the suggestion.

1) 有冇幫你個仔申請加州Occidental College 或 Pomona College?  這二間院校跟Caltech合作有一個3/2 Program, 在Occidental College 或 Pomona College讀三年, 另外在Caltech 讀二年, 拿兩個大學學位。

参考:

https://www.admissions.caltech.edu/content/32-program

2)  Dartmouth College 也是有類似的型式, 跟其他院校合作舉辦Dual-Degree Program:

http://engineering.dartmouth.edu/academics/undergraduate/dual/

3)  Columbia University 同埋Occidental College 或其他院校合作舉辦Combined Program, 畢業時也是拿二張文憑 (美國總統Obama也是用這途徑在Columbia University 畢業):

或者你可以想一下以上途徑，問請楚大學Advisor 再申請。

Thanks for the information. Do you know how to re-apply the schools with DS ...

I have no idea about the procedure to reapply for the fall 2016 semester since the application deadline has passed.   Your son can email MIT's advisor and let them know he will get his HKDSE results in July, 2016.   I think the advisor might consider his application for fall 2016 semester or ask him to apply as a transfer next year if he gets a very good score from his HKDSE examination.

如果呢個係唔係男生, 而係女生的話, 情形又不一樣了, 學生可以用這個成績報Wellesley College, 入到去再報MIT-Wellesley double-degree program:
