Although China students have done well, many of them hope to be admitted to famous schools. However, facing the reality, some parents in China began to think about how to discover their children's interests and potential, and encourage their children to develop freely according to their own wishes, instead of forcing them to go to famous universities.
Stanford University, a famous university in the western United States, announced last week that among 47,450 applicants, 2,040 undergraduates enrolled in the fall of 20 18 were admitted, with an admission rate of only 4.29%, a record low.
Applicants who have recently received the admission notice will become students of Stanford University in 2022. Among the 2,040 people admitted, 20 17 and 12 admitted 750 early applicants.
According to the enrollment data of Stanford University this year, 50.8% of the applicants were male and 49.2% were female, which was almost the same. Most of the students admitted are from American States, and only 1 1.4% are international students. About 65% of the admitted students are interested in humanities courses, 30% want to study engineering, 3.5% like earth resources, energy and environmental science, and 1.5% have not yet determined their major direction.
As a prestigious school in the San Francisco Bay Area, Stanford University is the first choice for many parents who want their children to succeed.
However, in recent years, the admission rate of Stanford University has hit record lows, which is lower than that of Harvard University, a famous eastern university, every year.
In the academic year of 20 16-20 17, Stanford University received 44,073 applications, but only 2,050 people were admitted, with an admission rate of only 4.65%. Among them, 72 1 applicants were admitted (REA) in the early application stage. Those lucky people come from 50 States in the United States and 82 countries and regions around the world.
The process of ranking American universities is very different from that of Chinese college entrance examination. It is called "ranking season" because it is a process that lasts for quite a long time.
In the United States, many students begin to prepare to apply for universities as soon as the twelfth grade of high school begins. In recent years, many parents in China no longer blindly pursue high scores and prestigious schools, but prefer to let their children use the long preparation time for applying for prestigious schools to explore and explore their interests and specialties.
