China and most countries adopt a simple and direct college entrance examination system. However, American universities require students to submit SAT scores, TOEFL scores (required by non-native English speakers), a high school transcript, two letters of recommendation from teachers, a school tutor report (submitted once and updated twice), personal application articles and resumes of extracurricular activities. I asked for so many materials, but in February and April of 65438, the university simply replied to the students' admission results. what's up Or? No? There is no explanation. The complicated enrollment procedures of American universities have puzzled many people. So, are there any hidden rules for American university enrollment? Let's reveal the hidden rules of American university enrollment for everyone. Many famous schools and private schools in the United States, including Ivy League universities, are subjective and have low transparency. Except for a limited number of military academies, the budget of public universities, the appointment and dismissal of presidents, the appointment of teachers, the academic system and the setting of disciplines are basically the functions and powers of the school board and departments. The role of the government is only reflected in the adoption of legislation to stipulate the purpose of running a school and to participate in the nomination of school boards. Private universities are truly private companies. However, the problem of enrollment corruption in the United States is not universal and has not risen to a public concern or social problem. What is the reason?

? When applying for admission, more than two examiners will carefully read hundreds of applications and discuss before voting when deciding on admission. ? This is the enrollment process of Harvard University and the epitome of the enrollment work of American universities. It is hard to say that there are no risks and hidden dangers in this process. In fact, the scandal that the University of Illinois cheated in the admission of freshmen and let unqualified students enter the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign took advantage of this? The admission process is confidential? Very convenient.

What really matters is enrollment corruption? Profit-risk ratio? Too bad. With China University? Working for the public? No, American universities are more like? Big contract? . What is the mentality of professional managers? Get a ticket and leave? What is the mentality of entrepreneurs? Is it worth taking his money? . You know, after the scandal of the University of Illinois came out, the president, vice president and nine directors of the school resigned one after another, and many local politicians were also involved in this matter, and their political life was in jeopardy.

Besides, taking care of admission is nothing more than two things: money? 、? Love? American universities have aboveboard ways to meet these two needs. Is it necessary? Use the back door? . In an Ivy League school, about 40% of the students belong to? Special circumstances? , that is, received? Special care? . To put it another way, about 25% of the students with the lowest scores are admitted to the school? Special interests? Quota.

In addition to the beauty of sound and body, people with color and so on. Special enrollment source? What about outside? Special circumstances? What are the two most important objects? Big donor? And alumni.

The top college students in America are still very rich. At the University of Michigan, in 2003, there were more freshmen from families earning more than $200,000 a year than freshmen from families earning less than the median income. In some private colleges, the data are even more extreme. ? If you can donate at least $6,543,800+to Harvard University, you can get the membership of the Harvard School Resources Committee (COUR). ? Harvard's undergraduate admission rate is less than 10%, and more than half of those with full SAT scores will be rejected by Harvard. However, it is estimated that at least 336 of the children of 424 COUR members were admitted to Harvard.

Almost all the fund-raising offices of top American universities have one? Development project? List, put those students who rely on their parents to donate or may donate huge sums of money to the school at the top of the admission list. Is the applicant at the bottom of high school, or is his s at score 300-400 points lower than that of the rejected? It doesn't matter, there is enough money to turn the tables for them. A real estate developer in New Jersey once paid Harvard $2.5 million to ensure that his disappointing child got the admission notice. Duke University, for example, even once asked the admissions staff to pursue rich children, not only because of the consideration of the short-term donation amount of the school, but also because of the fear that if too many students from low-income families are enrolled, the future alumni group will become poorer and poorer, thus reducing donations and leading to the financial decline of the school.

For alumni (especially elite alumni), you can't offend them. In Harvard's admission policy, if parents are graduates of our school, the chances of admission may increase a lot. In other words, the school authorities will give special consideration to this point. ? A recent study on the application for admission to 30 famous universities found that applicants who applied to their parents' alma mater were seven times more likely to be selected than those who had no connection with the school.

Take the Roosevelt family as an example. Both Roosevelt presidents graduated from Harvard University. Franklin, who broke the record for four consecutive terms? Roosevelt gave birth to four sons and three went to Harvard. Theodore? Roosevelt's one room is even simpler, maintaining the family tradition of at least five generations of Harvard alumni. President Bush and his son both graduated from Yale University. Old man? Senator Bush, the daughter of President George W. Bush, and at least four generations of the Bush family have been alumni of Yale. Former Vice President Al Gore, his wife and four children all graduated from Harvard University. According to the average admission rate of less than one tenth of Harvard University, what should it be? Once in a million years? Phenomenon. Most Kennedy children who had problems graduating from high school went to Harvard. Even Joseph, who studied worst, went to MIT next door to Harvard.

Recruit some children from rich families (their parents can build a library annex) and some children from alumni (to satisfy alumni). Of course, there can be no shortage of SAT examiners and slam dunks (otherwise the school will have no academic competitiveness and attraction). Is this the enrollment of almost all American universities? Hidden rules? . Compared with some black-box transactions of power and money, this kind of education? Partially industrialized? It is a way to solve the problem of comprehensive measurement of fairness, morality and income.
