我不是Jean老师,不过看了你的问题,我根本我这几年小龄留学生的录取经验,讲讲我的一些看法。我经常会和一些学校的招生官交流意见,想知道他们根据哪些方面来评估学生。从众多的美国学校的招生官那里的意见得出:申请6年级,SSAT成绩和托福成绩都不会是主要的录取因素,只是用来参考,而且影响录取结果是有限的,这跟美国高中的录取所考虑的因素是有区别。学校更看重学生的一些潜能和个人特征,比如学校根据学生的个人特点,评估学生可能会到达的水平。一个五、六年级的学生,目前的考试分数,将来的变化是很大的。你有绿卡或你是美国公民,在波士顿,有很多优秀的公立初中可以考虑。

It seems that your son applied to junior boarding schools and did not get any offer. I am sorry to hear that. As I discover every year, the competition among Chinese students for boarding schools become fiercely competitive. I am sure that your son was one of good candidates, however schools just could not have them all. Since your son is 6th grader, I encourage you not to be stressed out, rather to try to find some alternatives. Your son might go to a good private school (day or public) which has a good record of sending its graduates to top private high schools. Starting and studying early in a good American junior school (6-8), as far as I am concerned, has some definite advantages when your son applies to the private/boarding school later. It is not too late. And you do not have to be discouraged. Or you might seek some advice from education professionals.

很遗憾地得知您儿子申请中学寄宿学校没有成功的消息。中国学生去寄宿学校的竞争日益激烈。我相信你的孩子是一个很好的申请者,只是由于某种原因没有被录取。您的孩子刚刚6年级,所以请不要过于紧张,可以尝试其他选择。您可以选择优秀毕业生多的私立学校(私立或是寄宿)。在一个好的美国学校读初中(6-8年级)。我认为这样对于您儿子将来申请其他私立寄宿学校更有优势。您不必气馁,可以到专业教育咨询人士那里寻求帮助。
