哈佛大學解讀：
Please fill out your name exactly as it will show up on all materials we receive for your application. Your teachers, college counselors and others should also use your legal name just as it will appear on your financial aid forms, official test score reports, etc. Use of a nickname can cause your application to be incomplete if we cannot match your materials to your application.
名字：請按照我們在您申請中收到的所有材料上顯示的姓名，準確填寫您的姓名。您的老師、大學顧問和其他人也應使用您的法定姓名，就像它在您的財務援助表格、官方考試成績報告等檔案上顯示的那樣。如果我們無法將您的材料與您的申請相匹配，使用暱稱可能會導致您的申請不完整。（新增老師微信：xq19981一對一具體美國留學規劃，測試美國名校申請成功率）
宗教：哈佛大學不會下載學生的宗教信仰資訊，學生個人的宗教信仰不會影響申請。
種族：哈佛致力於創造多元的校園環節，讓每個學生都有機會彼此學習。在錄取過程中，除了個人優點、成績之外，我們還會看個人整體和獨特的背景及生活經驗，學生種族背景在你生活經驗和視野形成過程中扮演重要角色，因此學生的種族背景會在錄取過程中放在一個更大的框架內考慮。
無論你是何種種族，在學校和社群中參加促進不同背景人之間理解的活動是被哈佛大學錄取的因素之一。
在這一部分中，學生需填寫父母的個人資訊、婚姻情況、職業、教育背景等內容，以及兄弟姐妹等家庭成員資訊。大多數學校都會出於人口統計目的收集這些資訊。即使您已成年或已獨立，也需要填寫這部分內容。
哈佛大學解讀：
Part of an admissions officer’s job in reading your application is to understand your background and how these circumstances have affected your upbringing, the opportunities available to you, academic preparation, and other factors relevant to the college admissions process.
Family life is an important factor in helping us to learn more about the circumstances and conditions in which you were raised, and how you have made the most of the opportunities provided by your family. We want to understand where you’re coming from, not only in school, but at home as well.
招生官在閱讀你的申請時，部分工作是瞭解你的背景，以及這些環境是如何影響你的成長、你所獲得的機會、學術準備以及其他與大學錄取過程相關的因素。
家庭生活是幫助我們更多地瞭解你的成長環境和條件，以及你如何充分利用家庭提供的機會的一個重要因素。我們想了解你的成長經歷，不僅在學校，還包括家庭。
Parents almost always have a significant effect on students’ lives. Information about parents may indicate challenges you have faced – and overcome. In your essay you might elaborate on your family experiences in a wide variety of ways that can illuminate your character and personal qualities, including the positive aspects of your family life.
父母幾乎總是會對學生的生活產生重大影響。關於父母的資訊可能會表明你面臨的挑戰——以及你如何克服這些挑戰。在你的文章中，你可以以多種方式來闡述你的家庭經歷，這些經歷可以展現你的性格和個人品質，包括家庭生活給你帶來的積極影響。（新增老師微信：xq19981一對一具體美國留學規劃，測試美國名校申請成功率）
在這一部分中，學生需要填寫高中（9-12年級）就讀的學校，各科成績、所獲得的榮譽，以及未來的學習計劃。
哈佛大學解讀：
Interruption in Education
It is not uncommon for students to change schools or take time off during high school. While this information will most likely appear on your transcript, hearing directly from you about any interruption in schooling will help us to fill in any gaps.
高中生換學校或休學並不少見。雖然你的成績單會體現這些事實，我們還是想聽到你個人關於學業中斷的說明（如有）。
Grades
We always defer to the secondary school report for information about grades. If yours is not provided by the counselor or school, we will take into consideration what is self-reported, making sure to confirm with your school officials.
我們會根據你高中學校提供的官方成績單評審，如果你高中未向大學提供成績單，我們會根據你自己填寫的成績評審。
Current or Most Recent Year Courses
Please list the courses you are currently taking and/or are planning on taking before you graduate. If your schedule changes after you have submitted your application, please keep us updated by submitting additional materials in the Applicant Portal.
填寫你現在至高中畢業前正在學習或者打算學習的科目，如果屆時出現變動，可隨時向我們更新。（新增老師微信：xq19981一對一具體美國留學規劃，測試美國名校申請成功率）
Honors & Level(s) of Recognition
This is a place to highlight any achievements or awards you have received. If you receive any significant honors or awards after submitting the application, you may notify us by submitting additional materials in the Applicant Portal and we will include this information with your application materials.
榮譽部分是展示你成就的地方，如果在申請遞交之後，還有新的榮譽，可向我們更新新的材料。
Future Plans & Career Interest
You do not need to have a ten year plan, but getting a sense of what kinds of professions you have considered gives us insight into your current plans. Don’t fret about it: put a few ideas down and move on with your application.
Since there are some students who do have a developed career interest already established while they are in high school, this question provides an opportunity to indicate such a plan.
你不需要有一個未來10年計劃，但是瞭解你將來考慮的職業，會讓我們洞悉你現在的計劃。不用太擔心，寫下你的想法就可以。有些學生在高中階段就有了成熟的職業興趣，這個問題給你提供機會提及你的未來規劃。
這部分學生需要填寫SAT、TOEFL、AP等標準化考試成績。
哈佛大學解讀：
Test Scores
We have always looked at the best scores applicants choose to submit. If you haven’t yet taken the tests, please indicate which tests you are taking and when.
我們看申請人最好的一次成績。如果你還沒參加考試，把準備參加考試的日期填上，等考試結束之後再遞交成績。（新增老師微信：xq19981一對一具體美國留學規劃，測試美國名校申請成功率）
TOEFL
The TOEFL is not required for Harvard, but if you are taking it for another college, you may elect to submit it as part of your Harvard application. Your score can be one more piece of evidence regarding your English language proficiency, so you may choose to submit it if you feel it provides additional helpful information.
哈佛不要求託福成績。但是其它學校會要，所以作為國際學生你會參加托福考試。我們知道如何解讀你的託福成績，這是瞭解你英語能力的有幫助的資訊，所以如果你的第一語言不是英語，可以向哈佛遞交託福成績。
AP/IB Tests
These exam scores are additional pieces of academic information which can help us as we think about your preparation and potential for college level work. Sometimes AP or IB scores can demonstrate a wide range of academic accomplishments.
If you have the opportunity to take AP and IB exams, the results may also be helpful for academic placement, should you be accepted and choose to enroll at Harvard.
AP/IB的考試成績是能夠幫助我們瞭解你大學學業準備和潛力的學術資訊。如果你有機會參加AP和IB考試，一旦你被錄取並選擇在哈佛就讀，這些成績也可能對你的學術定位有所幫助。
在活動部分，學生列出最多10項活動，具體包括參與的時間、在活動/組織的描述、以及在活動中具體的角色等。
哈佛大學解讀：
How we use extracurricular activities and work experience in the admissions process
We are much more interested in the quality of students’ activities than their quantity so do not feel you need to fill in the entire grid! Contributions students make to the well-being of their secondary schools, communities and families are of great interest to us. So indicate for us the time you spend and the nature of the contribution to extracurricular activities, the local community, work experiences and help provided to your family. Activities you undertake need not be exotic but rather might show a commitment to excellence regardless of the activity. Such a commitment can apply to any activity in your life and may reflect underlying character and personal qualities.
對比活動的數量， 我們更看重學生活動的質量，所以不要覺得你一定要把活動內容全部填滿！學生對學校、社群、家庭的貢獻是我們最感興趣的內容。所以向我們說明你在課外活動、當地社群、工作以及給予家庭幫助方面所花的時間以及這些貢獻的實質內容。你的活動不需要是奇特的（exotic），但是不管什麼活動，都要展示你追求卓越（commitment to excellence）。這種追求能夠用於你生活中的任何事情，並能反映你潛在的個人特點和品質。
For example, a student can gain a great deal from helping his or her family with babysitting or other household responsibilities or working in a restaurant to help with family or personal expenses. Such experiences are important “extracurricular” activities and can be detailed in the extracurricular section and discussed in essays.
比如，一個學生在幫助家庭照看弟弟妹妹或者分擔其它家庭任務，或者在餐廳打工支付家庭或者個人費用，都能夠幫助學生獲得很多。這種經歷是重要的“課外”活動，可以在課外活動或者文書中說明。
Some students list only activities they feel will appear significant to the admissions office, while others endeavor to list every single thing they have ever done. Neither approach is right for everyone. Rather, you should think about the activities (in-school, at home, or elsewhere) that you care most about and devote most of your time doing, and list those.
一些學生僅僅列出一些他們認為的對招生官來說重要的活動，另外有些人列出他們做過的每一件事情。這兩個都是不對的。你應該考慮（校內、家庭或者其它任何地方）你最在意的和你花最多時間去做的活動，將這些活動列出來。
We realize that extracurricular and athletic opportunities are either unavailable or limited at many high schools. We also know that limited economic resources in many families can affect a student’s chances for participation on the school teams, travel teams, or even prevent participation at all due to the costs of the equipment or the logistical requirements of some sports and activities. You should not feel that your chances for admission to college are hindered by the lack of extracurricular opportunities. Rather, our admissions committee will look at the various kinds of opportunities you have had in your lifetime and try to assess how well you have taken advantage of those opportunities.
我們知道有些高中沒有很多課外和體育活動機會。我們也知道很多家庭有限的經濟資源會影響到學生參加學校活動、旅行的機會，甚至完全沒有機會。沒有參加這些課外活動，不會影響你被哈佛錄取的機會。相反，我們的招生委員會看重你在生活中獲得的其它各種機會，以及你如何利用這些機會。（新增老師微信：xq19981一對一具體美國留學規劃，測試美國名校申請成功率）
For additional thoughts on extracurricular activities, please refer to this 2009 article in the New York Times: Guidance Office: Answers From Harvard’s Dean, Part 3.
Positions held, honors won, letters earned, or employer
In this section, please describe the activity and your level of participation. Please note that your description should be concise, or it may be cut off by the Common Application.
Participation Grade Level
The grades during which you have participated are important because they help us to understand the depth of your involvement in that activity and your changing interests over time. Not all extracurricular activities must be a four-year commitment for our applicants.
你在什麼時候參加某個活動對我們來說很重要，這能幫助我們瞭解你活動的深度以及隨著時間推移你的興趣改變。不是所有活動都要做四年。
Approximate Time Spent
We are interested to know how you manage your time and to understand how you balance your life outside of the classroom. Some students dedicate their time to one or two activities, while others spread their time among many.
你在每個活動上所花的時間也是我們感興趣的，這能讓我們看到你是如何管理時間，以及你如何平衡課堂內外的生活。有些學生可能將時間專注於1-2項活動，有的則參加很多。
When did you participate
We know that students are often active both during the school year and the summer – working, babysitting siblings, enrolling in courses, traveling, playing sports, holding internships, etc. Distinguishing school-year activities from summer activities helps us understand how you have spent your time and taken advantage of opportunities available to you.
我們知道很多學生在學期中以及暑假中都積極參加活動。將學期中的活動和暑期活動區分開來，能夠幫助我們瞭解你怎麼分配時間，以及如何利用身邊的機會。
Plans to participate in college?
Harvard is a residential institution, and our students are actively engaged in college life. This section helps us to understand how you might contribute at Harvard. Some students who were involved in several activities during high school choose to narrow their focus in college and/or to try new activities not previously available.
哈佛大學的學生活躍於校園生活。填寫你在大學時候打算繼續這些活動，能夠幫我們更好了解你能對哈佛帶來的貢獻。一些學生在高中參加多項活動，然後在大學專注某少數幾項或者嘗試之前沒有做過的活動。
What if there's not enough space?
Filling out the grid is an act of prioritization: your responses tell us what activities or work experiences are most meaningful to you. And there’s quite a bit of space there, too; almost everyone should be able to convey the breadth and depth of out-of-class commitments on the application. Conversely, please do not feel a need to fill every line!
Personal Essay
The Common Application essay topics are broad. Please note that Coalition essay questions may differ. While this might seem daunting at first, look at it as an opportunity to write about something you care about, rather than what you think the Admissions Committee wants to hear. The point of the personal statement is for you to have the chance to share whatever you would like with us. Remember, your topic does not have to be exotic to be compelling.
Essay topics include:
Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.
The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter can be fundamental to later success. Recount a time when you faced a challenge, setback, or failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?
Reflect on a time when you questioned or challenged a belief or idea. What prompted your thinking? What was the outcome?
Reflect on something that someone has done for you that has made you happy or thankful in a surprising way. How has this gratitude affected or motivated you?
Discuss an accomplishment, event, or realization that sparked a period of personal growth and a new understanding of yourself or others.
Describe a topic, idea, or concept you find so engaging that it makes you lose all track of time. Why does it captivate you? What or who do you turn to when you want to learn more?
Share an essay on any topic of your choice. It can be one you've already written, one that responds to a different prompt, or one of your own design.
Additional Information
Do not feel obligated to fill this space, but some students have used this opportunity to tell us about challenging circumstances in their lives such as illness or other difficulties that may have affected their grades. Any information that can tell us more about the person behind the test scores and grades can be helpful.
哈佛大學解讀：
General: Submitting Supplementary Materials
Supplementary materials (art slides, music recordings, research papers, etc.) help when they reveal unusual talent. You absolutely do not have to include anything supplementary to gain acceptance to Harvard, and the vast majority of admitted students do not submit supplementary materials with their applications. You can submit art and media files through Slideroom and any documents or articles directly in the Applicant Portal with an uploader tool.
當補充材料（藝術幻燈片、音樂錄音、研究論文等）顯示出非凡的才能時，它們會有所幫助。不提交任何補充材料也可以獲得哈佛大學的錄取，而且絕大多數被錄取的學生在申請時都沒有提交補充材料。你可以透過Slideroom提交藝術和媒體檔案。
Academics: Fields of Study
When you select from the full list of Harvard's academic concentrations, you give us a sense of the direction you may choose when it comes time for you to choose a concentration at Harvard in your sophomore year.
While we realize that this question is quite similar to the one asked on the Common Application, our own format allows us to fit this information into data fields that Harvard has been collecting for many years. While we know students might well change their minds once they are in college, it is helpful for us to get a sense of their current interests and those academic areas in which they have already spent time and effort.
We do not admit students into specific academic programs, and we have no quotas or targets for academic fields.
當你從哈佛大學的全部學術專業列表中進行選擇時，你讓我們瞭解到你在哈佛大學二年級選擇專業時可能會選擇的方向。雖然我們意識到這個問題與通用申請表上的問題非常相似，但我們自己的格式允許我們將這些資訊放入哈佛大學多年來一直在收集的資料中。雖然我們知道學生進入大學後很可能會改變主意，但瞭解他們當前的興趣以及他們已經投入時間和精力的學術領域對我們是有幫助的。在錄取階段，我們不將學生錄取到特定的學術專案中，也沒有學術領域的配額或目標。
Academics: Future Plans
As a liberal arts institution with fifty academic concentrations and more than 450 extracurricular organizations, we expect and encourage our students to explore new opportunities. We understand that as you answer these questions, you may not be entirely sure of your plans, but this information helps us to understand how you might use Harvard.
作為一所擁有50個學術專業和450多個課外組織的文理學院，我們期望並鼓勵學生探索新的機會。我們理解，在回答這些問題時，你可能還不完全確定自己的計劃，但這些資訊有助於我們瞭解你可能會如何使用哈佛的資源。
Activities （可能參加哈佛大學提供的哪些活動， 比如課外活動， 研究活動，兄弟姐妹會，運動類等等）
One of the principal ways students meet and educate each other during college is through extracurricular activities. Your answer to this question gives us a better sense of the interests you might bring to college and how definite your academic, vocational, extracurricular or athletic interests might be. This information helps us understand better how you might use Harvard. Of course, one of the best things about a liberal arts education is that plans may change. There is no “right” answer to these questions.
在大學期間，學生之間相互交流和教育的主要方式之一是透過課外活動。你對這個問題的回答讓我們更好地瞭解了你在大學中可能帶來的興趣，以及你的學術、職業、課外或運動興趣可能有多明確。這些資訊有助於我們更好地瞭解你可能會如何使用哈佛的資源。當然，文科教育最好的事情之一就是計劃可能會改變。這些問題沒有“正確”的答案。
Contacts
If you have applied to Harvard before, we want to include your previous application with your current one. We also want to have a record of any other involvement at Harvard you may have had, including the Summer School and the Extension School and associated transcripts. This information adds to the context of your present application. It can be helpful for us to note changes in your application—perhaps areas where you have strengthened the academic and/or extracurricular aspects of your candidacy.
如果你之前申請過哈佛大學，我們希望將你的前一次申請與當前申請合併。我們也想記錄你可能在哈佛大學參與過的任何其他活動，包括暑期學校和繼續教育學院以及相關的成績單。這些資訊為你的當前申請提供了背景。我們注意到你申請中的變化可能是有幫助的——也許是你加強了候選資格的學術和/或課外方面的領域。
Writing Supplement 哈佛補充文書
The supplement includes five required short-answer questions, each with a 200 word limit. We want to ensure that every student has the same opportunity to reflect on and share how their life experiences and academic and extracurricular activities shaped them, how they will engage with others at Harvard, and their aspirations for the future. Our continued focus is on considering the whole student in the admissions process and how they have interacted with the world.
補充材料包括五個必答的簡答題，每個問題都有200字的字數限制。我們希望確保每個學生都有相同的機會來反思和分享他們的生活經歷、學術和課外活動是如何塑造他們的，他們將在哈佛如何與他人互動，以及他們對未來的期望。我們在招生過程中持續關注的重點是考慮學生的整體情況，以及他們與世界的互動方式。
Required Short Answer Questions
Each question has a 200 word limit.
Harvard has long recognized the importance of enrolling a diverse student body. How will the life experiences that shape who you are today enable you to contribute to Harvard?
Briefly describe an intellectual experience that was important to you.
Briefly describe any of your extracurricular activities, employment experience, travel, or family responsibilities that have shaped who you are.

Top 3 things your roommates might like to know about you.
01
哈佛大學 54人
根據Harvard International Office統計，哈佛學院（本科階段）現有中國學生有54人。
也就是平均每年大約有14名中國籍學生被錄取。
02
普林斯頓大學 56人
普林斯頓每年大概只有14人被錄取，相比中國學生（56人），加拿大學生的錄取最多（94人）。
03
耶魯大學 63人
63人，這是2019年耶魯的官方資料，此後再也沒有釋出過對國際本科生的統計。
根據近幾年耶魯對國際學生的統計，我們可以發現，耶魯的國際學生人數略有增加，因此中國學生也有一定比例的增加。
據耶魯2023年入學統計，耶魯本科階段一共錄取了723名國際學生（11%），中國本科生＋研究生共有1288名。
因此，按比例推測，耶魯中國本科生大約有68-83人左右。平均每屆錄取有17-21人。
04
賓夕法尼亞大學 130人
2023年，共有 13,309 名國際學生申請入讀賓大本科課程，其中只有419名（3.1%）收到了錄取通知。
賓大沒有公佈中國學生的錄取數量，但過去幾年，賓大的國際學生總數平均增長 4.9%。中國學生人數增長也比較顯著，賓大校內中國學生大概有2045名。
粗略估計，賓大本科階段，中國學生每年大約有26-38人左右被錄取。
05
布朗大學 156人
據官網統計，布朗大學的中國本科生有156人。平均每屆錄取中國學生39人左右。
06
哥倫比亞大學 316人
哥倫比亞大學是國際生最多的藤校。目前中國本科學生共有316人。
按照4年本科時間來算，平均每屆中國本科學生約有80人。
07
康奈爾大學 648人
康奈爾2018-2019資料顯示，本科階段的中國大陸學生為648人，即每年錄取160人左右（包括一定數量的轉學生）。
08
達特茅斯學院 50人
達特茅斯去年本科一共錄取了1207人（包含174名國際學生）。對於中國學生的統計，達特茅斯沒有最新官方資料統計。
結合達特茅斯幾年前公佈的資料，估算該校每年錄取中國學生大概在8-15人。大致推算校內的中國本科生有50人左右。
