苏菲尔德学院

每年Suffield从每个国家接收2-3名学生。今年我们有400名学生，大概90名是来自36个不同国家的国际学生。

申请时，学生的录取不仅仅看考试成绩和等地，每个孩子都会被独立的对待，同时学校会致力于寻求学生和学校之间的契合点，寻找与学校互相适合的孩子。 申请过程要求面试（可以亲自探访学校面试也可以电话面试），附带申请文书的申请表格，现在就读学校的学术成绩单，三封推荐信，以及SSAT，SAT I，或者PSAT。英语非母语的学生必须递交托福成绩。

Hi, 1. 我觉得NMH和Suffield几率会更高，虽然Loomis排名今年下来了，但竞争一样不会少。Pomfret不好说，看活动和面试的表现结合学校的点有多少吧。另外如果是大陆籍的，也会有些许劣势。 2. Loomis的话，有好有坏哦，比如学校一样Drama不少，而且还不止是亚裔圈子里:D。我韩国学生和我分享过，学校老师根本没能力去关注谣言的散播，所以心态强大一点很有必要。如果说Loomis好的地方，就是有些体育生，其实学校能力比较一般，就不会那么的卷。 加油，希望帮得到！2025，新年快乐！

如果以学术和未来走向为主来看，Lake Forest, 如果地理位置St. George最好，但St. George理科并不强。

It is important to do independent research on each school and consider the best-fit scenario for your child considering your major factors. Deciphering opinions on school search sites will result in a variety of answers. As it relates to Math courses, Mr. Rao could not be more wrong. Only Phillips Exeter Academy has a few higher math offerings. We offer higher than Andover, and easily more than all other NE boarding schools and every private prep school in the NYC area. We currently have 60+ students now beyond AP Calculus BC. We offer College-Level Multivariable Calculus and College-Level Linear Algebra (both of which are accredited through SBU'S ACE program for dual enrollment). We also offer Advanced Mathematical Logic and, Advanced Topics in Mathematics. We have increasingly seen students specifically choose to come to SBS for our math curriculum, as we are confident in saying our math course offerings are currently among the best in the country. Advanced Topics in Mathematics originated due to students completing our math sequence, especially possible now due to summer courses through our Gravitas program. The course is co-taught by our Math Department Chair, who is also now an adjunct professor at SBU at their math chair's request, and a new faculty member who holds a PhD in rocket science and has taught mathematics and physics at the college level for many years. The course is designed to be flexible to student research and interests. As a capstone project, students will do a research project and defend their research in a "thesis defense" style forum in May, alongside our Advanced Scientific Research students (a similar new course to facilitate research in science - we have had multiple students with internships at Brookhaven National Labs and Cold Spring Harbor Labs over the past several years and this course is designed to support that initiative) and Advanced Engineering, Innovation, and Design students from the STEM department. Our students are performing at a higher level than most college juniors and seniors our teachers have taught at the university level. Here is the course description: N.170/ Advanced Topics in Mathematics Prerequisite: Linear Algebra or Multivariable Calculus and instructor’s recommendation . This course is a rigorous, college-level math course for high-achieving students of mathematics. Topics such as combinatorics, probability, real analysis, complex analysis, advanced calculus and number theory will be covered to expose students to a variety of advanced subjects. Take a look at our course offerings: https://issuu.com/sbsacademics/docs/course_catalog_23-24 Our robotics and rocketry programs are some of best in the nation and we have a project with NASA.

虽然这几所学校在Niche 排名不相上下，但其实申请的门槛要求还是有很大的区别的。Kent的要求是最高的，即使你有满分的托福和99% 的SSAT，也未必能被Kent录取。 建议学生好好看看这些学校的官网，特别是Admission的要求，这样会对学生有非常大的帮助。

所有提到的信息，完全可以申请到任何一所学校，但还要考虑GPA，孩子目前学校的Legacy，文书，面试等等。

首先在择校的时候考虑几年以后大学的竞争力的问题是很对的，有前瞻性，不过您的顾虑的点稍稍地可以调整一下，从我从业十几年的经验包括每年多次参访美国大学，跟美本招办访谈来看，其实美国的大学在选拔学生的时候，得具体看学校，比如有些大学是根据你的高中在哪上的来界定你是不是国际生，跟你是否有美国身份没有关系，比如普利斯顿大学、芝加哥大学、哥大、康奈尔大学等学校， 普林斯顿大学明确界定了学校对于美国本土生和国际生的： Citizenship has no impact on our determination of an applicant’s status as either domestic or international. Students are considered domestic applicants if they are attending a secondary school in the United States; likewise, students attending a secondary school abroad are considered international applicants. The Office of Admission does not evaluate or advantage applicants differently based on their status as either domestic or international students.可见普林斯顿大学区分你是否是美国本土生其实主要是你在哪读的高中，这其实也是为什么这些年很多学生选择在高中阶段去美国读高中的原因之一。 康奈尔大学对于国际生的界定：Cornell reads applications based on where you currently attend school rather than by your citizenship status; we will read your application with others from your school and those from the same state (U.S.) or country. 通过这两个学校的官方说法，可以看出来美本招办对于国际生的界定了，当然不是所有的美本院校都是这样的界定，就需要根据学校的情况来case by case 的分析了。不过您提到的“怕内卷”的这个理念呢，其实在您列出来的这些学校里边，不存在不内卷的情况，其实这个“卷”的定义吧，我觉得重点还是回归到是否是孩子的兴趣所在，比如我在UC伯克利的学生，学的是化学，每天泡实验室很长的时间，但是他乐在其中，但是要是不喜欢化学的学生，是不是也会觉得这是“卷”呢。 所以这个我觉得您不用过多纠结“卷”的问题，重点是这个高中是否跟您的孩子匹配，比如北野山中学的体育很强，学校的C-MAP是特色，是否跟您孩子匹配？Berkshire偏理，尤其数学比较强，是否跟孩子匹配呢？Suffield的领导力培养和计算器很强，跟您孩子匹配吗？等等，所以可见，学校是否跟孩子匹配这个才是我们在进行高中择校重点需要考虑的参数，所以不用过于纠结“升学走向好中国人少的学校有哪些”，因为还有更多你需要关注的参数。 希望以上解答能够对您有所帮助，祝顺利！
