专家点评:
I could sense Student A’s excitement and enthusiasm for current events and history from the moment I met her. As we prepped for interviews I would listen in wonder as she shared her thoughts on Eli Weisel’s book Night and articulated its affect on her own understanding of Nazism and World War II. She tied this to her own family history as she described her grandfather’s experience with the Japanese during the Second World War and the interest that this sparked in the Pacific Theater. This interest in the past also ed with her fascination with current events and understanding how history shaped our current understanding. Also this interest served as the focus of her application essays. Throughout the entire application process watching Student A clarify her voice and streamline some of her goals was fun and rewarding to see. It all culminated in her acceptance to her dream school Choate.
(译文)第一次跟A同学见面,我就可以感受到她对于历史学科以及历史事件对当今社会的影响所具有的热情和喜爱。在面谈的过程中,她向我娓娓道来她在阅读完艾丽?维塞尔的著作《夜》的感受,并阐述了这本书如何帮助她更好地理解纳粹主义和二战。同时,A同学还向我讲述了她祖父在二战时的遭遇,这也是她如此痴迷于历史事件的重要原因。在我看来,她十分热衷于研究历史上的重大事件,希望深入理解当时的情景,而这种兴趣也帮助和指导她更加正确和客观地看待当今事物。由于A同学独特的学术兴趣和家庭背景,我们也将此作为她申请文书的核心部分,将她描述成一个对历史有浓厚兴趣,并且善于观察和思考古今事物的学生。在整个申请过程中,A同学始终都能够很清晰地表达自己的看法和见解,这对于一个即将步入高中的学生来说非常难得。我想,正式由于A同学所表现出来的这些独特性,才帮助她成功被自己心仪的乔特罗斯玛丽中学录取。
