石溪中学

如果对艺术和设计类比较感兴趣，不妨考虑一下Rocky Hill , 很小，很温暖的一所走读学校，学校安排住宿家庭，学校的艺术类很不错，每年都有多个学生入读很好的艺术类大学，其中每年有三个以上会去设计类排名第一的罗德岛设计学院。学校的学术水平属于中档，因为学校有强制的ESL课$8000及国际学生费2500，导致总的费用偏高。 其余的都是寄宿学校，五个中选的话，比较不错的是LFA， baylor和stony brook

很多学校在310前要求交押金的，所以，自己考虑是否为了保底而先交押金。你申请的那几所寄宿学校从成绩上来看，还是有一点风险的。

您好！ 我是朱嘉睿，现就读于纽约州的The Masters School，是Leap 立普尔美国高中校园代表之一，很高兴能为您解答。 最近几年申请真的很激烈，这个分数其实并不会很突出，尤其是基于你现在选择的学校都不是什么冷门或偏爱中国学生或门槛很低的学校。我能给出的建议是，在你现在选择的学校里不要把目标放太高，一些太靠运气的reach级别的学校，比如deerfield，可以直接放弃申请，m毕竟没有时间。专注于一两个学校的申请，当然也可以广撒网碰运气，尽力进一个也许不会很fancy但是比较踏实靠谱的学校。如果觉得上了九年级还是与学校不匹配，还是想进入更好的学校学习的话，八年级后的暑假可以再努力把分数提高，九年级拿一个好看的term grade，申请转学九申九或九申十。那时你在美国读书经历的优势就可以体现出来，也会有更充裕的时间准备，多了解一下学校，给学校写写love letter，做一下on campus interview什么的。 如果有任何具体问题或想了解masters，欢迎在此回复或私信我！Best luck on everything!

我个人建议托福最好能够再往上走一点，98分的冲刺类院校机会不是很大，这类学校基本上托福都是100往上走的，SSAT的话也不是非常有竞争力，所以可以考虑下11月和12月份是否再考SSAT。活动广泛的话你可以在你的文书或者是面试里面可以试着强调一下你的活动，另外两次夏校的经历这块你也可以强调一下你的diversity，这样可以加强你的一个经历。匹配类院校Stony Brook School，St.Anne's Belfield School按正常来说录取上都是ok的，保底类的院校定位有点低，可以稍微再往上走一走。因为你是8申9，所以建议考虑下是否可以直接申请到校面试。

看起来可以，冲刺保底校都有了，申请时和面谈都要尽力。

前三个学校可以直接取消。根本不用考虑。再增加7个左右的学校，你孩子情况还可以。选择好学校应该有机会。后2个是你们的保底校，魔堡是目标校，因此你应该明白你缺目标校和没有匹配校。马上修改选校名单！否则耽误孩子了。需要就私信我。

根据您提供的背景信息，个人认为托福如果能考到110以上会更有优势，比如加州的Cate School就要求托福要在110以上。申请顶级学校SSAT最好在99%以上。根据学生目前的情况，建议重点考虑Stony brook，Lake forest和Kent school。 我是IvyTrust藤信教育创始人，base在美国西雅图，宾夕法尼亚大学教育学硕士，NACAC美国大学招生咨询协会会员，加州大学伯克利分校认证大学升学及职业生涯规划顾问。

家长您好： 我简单谈谈石溪（Stony Brook）的情况： 首先来说说学校的教学环境： - 20人的班级规模在美国私立高中中其实属于中等偏小，很多学校的班级规模在15-25人之间 - 校园陈旧确实是个问题，但这也反映了学校将资源更多投入到教学而非外表 学校的学术氛围： - 学习压力大的现象可能反映了学校较高的学术要求 - 学生看起来不够开心这点值得关注，可能暗示： 1. 学校在平衡学术和学生生活方面还有改善空间 2. 可能缺乏足够的课外活动或社交机会 3. 学校文化可能过于强调成绩 另外关于"奢侈感不太好"这点： - 这可能恰恰反映了学校的务实风格 - 很多优秀的学校都不太注重外表奢华，而是专注于提供优质教育 - 但如果你希望在更现代化的环境中学习，这确实是需要考虑的因素 学校学生的每年的大学毕业走向都还是很不错的，值得推荐！

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.

补录阶段很有机会补录到FS前50的学校的。
