My daughter is a grade 10 and top student (1 over 75) of an international school (British system), she got TOEFL iBT > 100, however, SSAT around 50% without any preparation for all the exam. She has got immediate admission after interview from Bryn Mawr, Ashley Hall, Maumee Valley day schools with open choice either Grade 10 or 11. Of course school advices for Grade 10 for her to have more time for preparation and transition. To cope daughter's aim for US top 10 universities, I would appreciate if you could kindly advice if it is worth and feasible for her to try Grade 11, especially she is a quite disciplined and diligent student, as we hope not to spend additional year for her to repeat Grade 10 but has concern if it will be difficult to achieve the objective.

  • I can feel that your child is an excellent student! Now you must choose which way is the best way to prepare your child to get accepted to Top 10 universities, either by graduating from an international school here in China or by graduating from an American school.

    Honestly, either way, your child will have to work so hard since getting an admission from top 10 universities, especially as a Chinese international student, would be terribly hard.

    Becoming 11th grader at American high school would also be very risky because international students tend to suffer with their grades in their first year at a new American school, and grades as 11th would be considered as the most significant ones that show student's intelligence, rigor, willingness and focus by many top universities. Schools that know this usually recommends international students to lower one grade down.

    Also there is a good chance for your child to get accepted to one of top universities while your child stays at a current school. Your child should have a very careful college application plan, starting now! Please find someone who can give advice in this matter. These professionals might help you greatly. So, choice is yours!
  • 我能感觉到,你的孩子是一个优秀的学生!现在,你必须选择一种最好的方式来帮您的孩子准备,确保孩子进入前10名的大学。无论是在中国一所国际学校毕业或从一所美国学校毕业。
    老实说,无论哪种方式,您的孩子都要付出很多努力,因为得到一个排名前10的大学录取,尤其是对于中国的国际学生,是极其艰难的。

    去美国高中读11年级亦是非常冒险的,因为在一所新的美国学校里,国际学生在第一年的时候都会经受巨大的考验。而许多顶尖大学又把11年级的学习成绩作为最重要的参考成绩。体现了学生的智力,严谨,意志力,关注点等。学校知道这钟情况,通常会建议国际学生降低一个年级入学。
    就在您孩子目前的学校也有很好的机会,可以让您的孩子被名校录取。前提是你的孩子需要有一个精心策划的大学申请,从现在开始准备!教育专家们会给您很大的帮助。决定权在您手中!

    要知道T>100,SSAT90%以上的孩子都不是100%在美国私立高中游刃有余,而且有些已经经过1-2年后,家长和孩子都明白冲击前10可能性有多少了。
    非常不建议直接上11,如果是经济问题,那继续就国内国际学校好了,国内申得还行。
    在美国直接和美国孩子,中国韩国出去读9年级(也是T>100,SSAT》85%出去的)的孩子竞争,很难的。
