斯坦福大學是國際知名大學，有著一流的師資水平和辦學質(zhì)量。每一年斯坦福大學都招收了很多世界各地的優(yōu)秀學生，那么斯坦福大學是如何審核和評估這些學生的呢?下面和出國留學網(wǎng)一起來看看吧。
Application Evaluation
Our overall application review is holistic, focusing on academic excellence, intellectual vitality and personal context. In addition, we will consider your curriculum, teacher evaluations, essays and extracurricular activities.
斯坦福大學的入學申請審核：
斯坦福大學的綜合申請審核是相當全面的，主要強調(diào)優(yōu)秀學術(shù)表現(xiàn)、思維活躍性和個人層面能力。除此之外，斯坦福大學還會考慮你的全部課程、教師評價、自我陳述以及課外活動。
Curriculum
We do not have a required high school (or college) curriculum, but we do make recommendations. We expect freshman applicants to have engaged in a rigorous curriculum and chosen from among the most demanding courses available in their secondary school. It is not necessary to take every advanced course offered; but if such courses are available to you, we expect that you have taken advantage of many of them. Our most competitive freshman applicants often have four years (grades 9-12) of English, four years of math (including calculus), four years of social studies, four years of science (including biology, chemistry and physics) and four years of a foreign language.
There is flexibility, however, in how we view an applicant's curriculum. For example, an applicant may be competitive with just three years of a foreign language through 11th grade but also with five math courses taken in the last four years. Conversely, an applicant may be competitive taking two languages all four years and just three years of social studies.
While most of our applicants have enrolled in an accredited secondary school program (or college), students from schools that may not have undergone the accreditation process as of yet, as well as those with exceptional circumstances are given equal consideration.
學習課程：
斯坦福大學對于申請者沒有必須的高中(或者大學)課程學習要求，但是會建議學生涉及相關(guān)學習。斯坦福大學希望大學新生申請者投身于嚴格的課程學習之中，從有最高要求的中學課程中做出選擇。雖然不要求學生參加所提供的每一堂高級課程，但是如果有提供這樣的課程的話，斯坦福大學還是希望你能夠參與其學習。斯坦福大學大部分極具競爭力的大學新生申請者通常有四年(9年級到12年級)的英語學習、四年的數(shù)學(包括微積分)學習、四年的社會研究學習、四年的科學(包括生物、化學以及物理)學習以及四年的外語語言學習。
但是，斯坦福大學對于學生學習課程的審核還是比較靈活的。例如，擁有3年(直到11年級)的外語語言學習，以及在最后四年中參加5門數(shù)學課程的申請者也是比較有競爭力的。相反的，整個四年時間參加2門語言課程以及三年的社會研究課程學習的申請者也可能是很有競爭力的。
雖然斯坦福大學的申請者已經(jīng)登記了公認的中學學校(大學)課程學習。但是來自沒有經(jīng)過認可程序的學校的學生，以及有例外條件的學生都會獲得同等的審核標準。
Teacher/Instructor Evaluations
As we read the two required evaluations, we hope to discover specific evidence of your intellectual vitality. For this reason, we want to hear from those teachers/instructors who know the most about your performance in an academic setting. The evaluations for freshman applicants should be from teachers who taught you in the 11th or 12th grades in one of the core academic subjects (English, math, foreign language, social studies or science)—though we will certainly accept evaluations from earlier grades in unusual circumstances.
教師/指導(dǎo)老師評估：
在斯坦福大學閱讀所要求的兩份評估報告的時候，通常希望能夠發(fā)現(xiàn)有關(guān)你思維活躍性的具體證明。也出于這個原因，斯坦福大學想要從某一學術(shù)機構(gòu)對你的表現(xiàn)最為了解的教師/指導(dǎo)老師那里更好的了解你。大學新生申請者的評估應(yīng)該是從11年級或者12年級的核心學術(shù)科目(英語、數(shù)學、外語、社會研究或者科學)老師那里獲得——雖然在一些特殊情況下，斯坦福大學也接收來自更早年級之前的老師的評估報告。
Essays
We read essays to get to know you as a person and to learn about the ideas and interests that motivate you. The strongest essays are those where the student's genuine voice stands out. Because we want to discover who you are, resist the urge to "package" yourself in order to come across in a way you think Stanford wants. Such attempts simply blur our understanding of who you are and what you can accomplish.
個人陳述：
斯坦福大學通過個人陳述來了解你個人，發(fā)現(xiàn)激發(fā)你的觀念和興趣。一份優(yōu)秀的個人陳述是學生真正聲音的表達。因為斯坦福大學想要了解真正的你，所以一定要避免按照你認為的斯坦福大學想要的形式來包裝自己。這樣的陳述信息往往會模糊我們對你本人以及能力的認識。
Extracurricular Activities
Learning about your extracurricular activities and nonacademic interests helps us to discover your potential contributions to the Stanford community. Students often assume our primary concern is the number of activities in which one participates. In fact, an exceptional depth of experience in one or two activities may demonstrate your passion more than minimal participation in five or six clubs. We want to see the impact you have had on that club, in your school, or in the larger community, and we want to learn of the impact that experience has had on you.
In some cases, exceptional abilities in athletics may influence our decision if the applicant is otherwise well qualified, but such abilities never, by themselves, ensure admission to Stanford.
課外活動：
了解你的課外活動以及非學術(shù)興趣可以幫助斯坦福大學發(fā)現(xiàn)你對于斯坦福大學社區(qū)的潛在貢獻。學生通常假定斯坦福大學的主要關(guān)注點在于一個人參加的活動數(shù)量，實際上，在一個或者兩個活動中的尤其深入的經(jīng)驗，比起至少參加了五六個活動更加能夠證明你的熱情。斯坦福大學想要看見的是你對于所屬活動群體的影響，例如一個俱樂部、一個學校、或者是一個更大的社區(qū)，以及這些活動經(jīng)驗對你產(chǎn)生的影響。
在某些情況下，如果申請者本身符合入學資格的話，那么在運動方面的額外能力可以影響斯坦福大學的招生錄取決定。但是只憑該能力本身(例如運動能力)是不能夠保證獲得斯坦福大學的錄取資格的。
