　　“留学”越来越普及的当下时代，却也成了误区泛滥的年代。许多对外国名校“趋之若鹜”的学子，常常将许多未经证实的传言奉若圣经，他们往往不知道，即使是在美国这样招考程序严密的国度，同样存在许多“潜规则”，而这些“潜规则”往往是和我们所熟知的留学常识相悖的。

"Study abroad"The present age is becoming more and more popular,But it also became a misunderstanding of the s flood.A lot of foreign universities"Scramble for"students,Often will many unconfirmed rumors if in the bible,They often don't know,Even in the United States so admit by examination the kingdom of rigorous procedures,Also there are many"Latent rules",And these"Latent rules"Often is and what we known as the study abroad sense abhorrent.

　　这些“潜规则”遍及面试、报考、申请文书写作、就业招聘、学业强度、人际相处等多个方面。11月初，美国鼎世留学机构在深圳举办了一台“美国名校申请"潜规则"宣讲会，即是对当下赴美准留学生的实用指南。对“留学潜规则”的识别和认知，也是从另一个层面揭示了中西教育文化的共性和特色。

these"Latent rules"Throughout the interview/Enter oneself for an examination/Application letter writing/Employment recruitment/Academic strength/To get along with people, etc.Early November,The United States the tripod with two handles the study organization in shenzhen held a table"American school application"Latent rules"teach-in,That is to present to the accurate student practical guide.to"Study abroad latent rules"Recognition and cognitive,Also from the another level of Chinese and western education culture reveals the commonness and characteristics.

学业“潜规则” academic"Latent rules"

美国学业拼起命来比中国更狠 American academic spell up to life than China more malicious

　　在美国，是不是只要当好一个社交达人、玩乐达人便可成为学校里的精英分子？是不是所有的美国高校都有很大比例的“玩乐”成分？过去流行于世的舆论和传言中，美国高校往往跟“玩玩玩”画等号，这是对美国学业环境的误解。

In the United States,Is being a good as long as a social people/People play can become the elite school?Do all of the American universities have a significant proportion of"play"composition?The past popular in the world public opinion and the rumors,American universities often follow"Play play"Draw equal-sign,This is the American academic environment misunderstandings.

　　很多准留学生们所不知道的是，在美国，查资料、自学、讨论、开卷考试、社会调查等“课业”的强度和压力，远远高于中国学生的“死记硬背”，在美国鼎世留学负责人、留学专家丁鼎看来，“美国高中生平均睡眠时间低于6小时的数据，绝不是凭空捏造，无论大学还是高中，美国的学业强度，远比中国高。”

A lot of quasi students do not know is that,In the United States,Check material/self-study/discuss/Open-book examination/Social investigation,"schoolwork"Strength and pressure,Far higher than Chinese students"rote",The study in the United States in the world/Study abroad experts ding ding looks,"The average American high school students sleep less than six hours of data,Is not out of thin air,Whether college or high school,American academic strength,Than China's high."

　　深圳旭飞出入境咨询留学主管张聃也表达了近似的意见：“北美的中高等院校学习压力非常大，想要从中学升学或者从大学毕业绝非易事。好莱坞的电影给大家的感觉就是在北美校园生活里，学生整天无所事事。恰恰相反的是，学生为了完成学业会在各方面都花大量的时间心血去做研究。美国的教育体制有一个很大的特点，就是会允许学生发挥各种想象，积极去思考和创新。但是付诸实践的时候，不论是论文、演讲或者实验，学生必须严谨地去搜集数据和历史材料来验证观点。学生因此会花大量的时间去做问卷调查、上网或图书馆查阅资料。”

Shenzhen xu fly entry and exit consultancy study director zhang Dan also expressed the opinion of the approximation:"North American middle schools and colleges in learning pressure is very big,Want to learn from or graduated from college entrance is no easy task.Hollywood movies give everybody the feeling is in North America in the campus life,Students doing nothing all day long.On the contrary,Students to complete their studies will in all respects spend a lot of time efforts to do research.American education system has a lot of characteristics,Is to allow the students to play all sorts of imagination,Positive thinking and innovation.But are put into practice,Both papers/Speech or experiment,Students must scrupulously to gather data and historical materials to verify view.Students will therefore spend a lot of time to do questionnaire survey/The Internet or library data access."

学位授予“潜规则” Degree awarding"Latent rules"

美国名校淘汰率很高 The school is very high mortality

　　很多留学生喜欢一味追逐名校，殊不知名校的学位授予也是有“潜规则”的。这个“潜规则”就是名校的“淘汰指标”，据美国鼎世留学机构的调研，以美国芝加哥大学经济系等重点学科为例，淘汰率几近30%，这也是毕业生高质量的保障。美国名校毕业生的光环是有巨大风险的。

Many students like blindly chasing schools,Little imagine of the best universities is also a degree awarding"Latent rules"of.this"Latent rules"Is of the best universities"Selection index",According to the American the tripod with two handles the study mechanism research,In the United States department of economics of university of Chicago such key disciplines, for example,Mortality nearly 30%,This is also graduates of high quality guarantee.American school graduates aura is a huge risk.

　　琥珀教育美国部资深顾问赵明月透露，美国名校的“淘汰”依据、量化标准也“名目众多”涉及科目分数、课外活动、社交活跃度、演讲能力、专业素养、论文水平等多个指标，而评核这些指标的方式也不是简单的“应试”，而是通过多种直接或间接的考评手段，比如同学的口碑印象也能成为综合分波动的要素。这是在我们所熟知的“宽进严出”、“严进宽出”之外，又新催生的一种“严进易出”模式，它是对准留学生们的告诫在美国，进了名校决不等于顺利毕业。

Amber education the United States department senior consultant ZhaoMingYue revealed,The American school"out"According to the/Quantitative standard also"Nominal many"Involving subjects score/Extracurricular activities/Social liveness/Speech ability/Professional literacy/The paper level, and other indicators,And assess these indicators way is not simple"exam-oriented",But through a variety of direct or indirect assessment means,For instance classmate reputation impression can be comprehensive points fluctuation elements.This is what we know"Wide into severe out"/"Strict into a wide"outside,And new ecbolic a"Strict into easy out"mode,It is aimed at students warning in the United States,Into the school never equal to graduate.

申请文书写作“潜规则” Application letter writing"Latent rules"

不要再有“孤儿院、慈善”之类的字眼 Don't have"orphanage/charity"The word of and so on

　　近几年来，几乎所有的学生的申请档案中，都有参加过孤儿院爱心慈善活动，致使美国的招生官觉得似乎在“作秀”。南都记者了解到，目前市面上许多留学中介所提供的“申请文书”写作服务，实际上都是按照固定、雷同的模本在操作，这些模本上高频出现的字眼，恐怕已经成为了美国招生官员心目中的“禁忌字眼”。

In recent years,Almost all the students application files,Has participated in the orphanage love charity activities,The U.S. admissions officer think seems to be"show".SMW the reporter understands,At present on market many study abroad intermediary provided"Application documents"Writing service,In fact all is according to fixed/Echo identical in operation,These words appear on the echo of high frequency,I'm afraid has become the American admissions officials idea of"Taboo words".

　　“禁忌字眼”的范围还有扩大的趋势据美国某招生官员透露，“有一年，申请耶鲁大学的北京某中学的21名学生中，有19个年级排名第一。还有，申请哈佛大学的北京某中学，一个班中有六个学生会主席。那么，年级排名和学生会主席会是"禁忌"字眼吗？不得而知，但是，这些学生没被耶鲁和哈佛录取的确是真的。”而南都记者了解到，据美国国际教育研究所数据，2011年，90%的中国学生的申请材料中，有不真实数据，这，已经成为美国大学防备、排斥中国学子的一大缘由。

"Taboo words"And the trend of widening the scope of according to a U.S. admissions officials revealed,"One year,Application of Yale university, the Beijing some middle school students in the 21st,There are 19 year ranked first.and,Application of Harvard University Beijing some middle school,A class has six student body President.so,Grade rankings and student union is chair"taboo"Word??unknown,but,These students are not Yale and harvard admission is indeed true."And SMW the reporter understands,According to the American international education institute data,In 2011,,90% of Chinese students in the application materials,Have no real data,this,The American university has become a guard/Exclusive Chinese students a big reason.

　　“美国的中学或者大学学校申请，其实贵在真实。很多中介公司拿着一套成功模本去套在很多申请人身上。很多学校收到这样的模本太多，就算学生本身优秀，都不予以录取。对于条件不够的申请人，切勿过分包装。过去就出现过学生到了学校报到测试，发现英语成绩被修改过，立即予以开除的例子。”张聃告诉记者。

"American high school or university school application,Actually in the real.A lot of intermediary company with a set of successful echo to set on in many applicants.A lot of schools receive the echo too much,Even if students excellent itself,All not be admitted.The applicant for the condition not enough,Don't too much packaging.The past appeared students came to school report to test,Find English achievement has been modified,Immediately the example will be fired out."Zhang Dan told reporters.

　　“文书写作要与学生自身相符，每一个学生的文书都可以做到个性化，亮点也是多样的，我们鼓励学生参与到文书的写作中，共同创作。但文书与学生自身的真实经历相符很重要。”赵明月提醒道。

"Document writing should be consistent with their own,Each student's documents can do personalized,Window is also various,We encourage students to participate in the documents of writing,Common creation.But documents with their own true match experience is very important."ZhaoMingYue warns.

面试“潜规则” interview"Latent rules"

“个性”不要乱展示 "personality"Don't mess shows

　　不少留学生认为美国考官喜欢有“个性”的学生，于是在言行表现上十分夸张，甚至以“另类”方式博出位，其实，在美国，考官一样青睐“中庸之道”，他们同样不喜欢无厘头式的夸张“个性”言行，谦逊、礼貌、温和这些中国人的传统品质仍然是他们所看重的。

Many students think the United States the examiner like to have"personality"students,So in words and deeds performance very exaggerated,Even in"alternative"Way Po piece,In fact,In the United States,The examiner favor as"Golden mean",They also don't like) type of exaggeration"personality"Words and deeds,humility/polite/Mild these Chinese traditional quality is still their value.

　　也就是说，在美国名校的面试环节，你的“个性”并不是指乖张另类的言行或打扮风格，会唱《忐忑》或《江南ST Y LE》等所谓出格“个性”只能给自己减分。另外，虽说美国是尊重“小众”的国度，但某些“小众”言行却是很大的“禁忌”，“譬如，种族、文化歧视、纳粹、宗教偏见、性取向等，总之，别走极端，个性是在约定俗成的共识内的自我表现，是有度的表现。”丁鼎表示。

That is,In the United States school interview link,your"personality"And not the contrariness alternative ways or dress style,Can sing[in]or[Jiangnan ST Y LE]Etc the so-called revolutionary"personality"Can only give yourself a deduction.In addition,Although the United States is respect"The small"country,But some"The small"Words and deeds are great"taboo","For example,race/Cultural discrimination/Nazi/Religious prejudice/Sexual orientation,,In a word,Don't go to extremes,Personality is the DE facto consensus within the self-expression,Is the performance of the chi."Ding ding said.

文化“潜规则” culture"Latent rules"

美国人喜欢“中国STYLE”学生 Americans like to"Chinese STYLE"students

　　许多留学中介机构的指导，总是潜移默化地想把中国孩子往美国孩子的方向靠拢，言行、表达方式已经十分“美国化”。但这种“迎合心理”却是美国考官较为排斥的如果中国学生都和美国学生一样，那他们还有必要招中国学生么？

Many study abroad intermediary guidance,Always subtly want to Chinese children went to the direction of the American children close,Words and deeds/Expression has been very"americanized".But this"Cater to psychological"Is the United States the examiner more exclusive if the Chinese students and American students,That they have the necessary recruit Chinese students??

　　美国名校希望中国学生带来什么？一些已经被中国学子“抛弃”的东西恐怕反而是美国考官看重的品质。例如，中国学生在学业上的钻研精神、重复执行能力、传统礼仪品质等等，许多准留学生面试时并没有充分表现出这些“中国化”的元素，这是一个很大的误区。如同丁鼎所说：“在申请美国大学时，一定要有意识地保留中国文化的痕迹，美国大学要你带给学校一些有用的东西、特别的东西。美国大学不稀罕西化的东西，你再西化也只是个东施效颦。中国文化中的谦虚、含蓄、内敛、以及千年悠远的文化内涵，等等，都是中国文化的魅力。个人之见，五千年的历史渗透其内、发散其表的中国文化特点，不用刻意，便能吸引其他文化背景的人。”也就是说，中国学生一定要保持“C H IN A S T Y L E”而不是“A M ERICA N ST YLE”。

American school hope Chinese students bring about?Some have been Chinese students"abandon"Things I'm afraid it is the United States the examiner value quality.For example,Chinese students in academic spirit/Repeated execution ability/Traditional etiquette quality and so on,Many prospective students interview and not fully show these"sinicization"elements,This is a big misunderstanding.As ding ding said:"In the United States when apply for university,Must consciously keep the trace of the Chinese culture,The American university school wants you to bring some useful things/Something special.The American university not rare westernization things,You again westernization is just a copy cat.Chinese culture of modesty/implicative/Inside collect/A long time ago in one thousand and the cultural connotation,, etc,Is the charm of Chinese culture.Personal opinion,Five thousand years of history infiltration them/The table spread of Chinese culture characteristics,Need not deliberately,Can attract other cultural background."That is,Chinese students have to keep"C H IN A S T Y L E"not"A M ERICA N ST YLE".

人情“潜规则” human"Latent rules"

“拍马屁”在美国招考面试中也管用 "Kiss up to"In the United States admit by examination the interview also help

　　其实，“人情”现象并非中国所独有，美国的招聘、招考环节也有“人情分”。因此，在面试时，一个应考者或应聘者如何建立和睦、宽松的聊天环境，如何发挥自己社交上“人来熟”的特长，也能成为潜在的加分因素。因此，如何“取悦”考官，适度“拍马屁”，这样的“窍门”也属必修之技。

In fact,"human"Phenomenon is not peculiar to China,America's recruitment/Admit by examination link also have"People because of".therefore,In the interview,A welcomed or applicant how to build peace/Loose chat environment,How to play to their social"People to practice"specialty,Also can become potential bonus factors.therefore,How to"please"Test an officer,moderate"Kiss up to",this"tips"Are the skills required.

　　“美国的人情，应该是在合乎职业道德之上的多一些注意或小心，而恰恰就是这个注意或小心，便平添了很多成功的可能。如何把握和利用好，是一个只可意会不可言传的无形的东西，中国人现在叫"情商"的东西可能就是指此。在西方，类似的词汇是"Breakice"，也就是说，见面最初几句话，能否打开交流之门。是一个面试中和几乎所有场合中最具成功力的能力。很多时候，如果不能在见面最初打开交流之门，便失去了机会，便没有了再试的机会，便只有出局。Breakice和一个人的个性和生活经历以及文化背景有关，绝非短期培训能达到的。照许多美国考官经验，意大利人似乎有这方面的天赋。”丁鼎透露。

"The United States and,Should be in according to professional ethics on more attention and care,But is precisely this note or be careful,Then make the same score a lot of chance of success.How to grasp and use good,Is a is not words but meanings intangible things,The Chinese people now call"Emotion quotient (eq)"Things may be to show this.In the west,Similar vocabulary is"Breakice",That is,To meet the first few words,Can open the door of communication.Is a interview and almost all occasions the most successful force ability.Most of the time,If you can't meet in the first open the door of communication,Lost the opportunity,Without the chance to try again,Will only out.Breakice and a person's personality and life experience and cultural background are linked,Not short-term training can achieve.As many American examiner experience,Italian people seem to have the talent."Ding ding said.

分数“潜规则” score"Latent rules"

美国人也在乎“分数” Americans also care about"score"

　　在目前的留学语境中，美国名校往往被舆论塑造成一个完全不在乎考试分数的地方。其实这又走进了另一个误区。事实上，在美国学校，你的成绩单究竟是A +还是C-，会直接影响家长、老师和同学对你的评价。因为“分数”低而产生的自卑、自闭、被他人孤立等症状，在美国也大面积分布。

In the present study context,American schools are often shaping public opinion into a completely don't care where test scores.In fact, this and went into another misunderstanding.In fact,In American schools,Your report card actually is A + or C -,Will directly influence the parents/Teacher and schoolmate to your evaluation.because"score"Low and produce inferiority/autistic/The symptom such as isolated by others,In the United States also large area distribution.

　　许多留学资料过分强调所谓“课外活动”，事实上，美国高材生或优质留学生在“活动”与“学业”之间的时间、精力分配是有一套科学计划的。正如深圳新东方学员、深圳中学出国班的Larry所述：“我一直都保持学业与"活动"齐头并进，这样的"综合素质"才能令面试官青睐，而一个丰满的、大量的"社会活动经验"却搭配上一个惨不忍睹的考试分数，这样的简历，也是会令面试官极其反感的。”

Many study material overemphasize the so-called"Extracurricular activities",In fact,The United States top student or in high quality students"activities"and"academic"Of time between the/Energy distribution is a set of scientific plan.As shenzhen new Oriental students/Shenzhen high school go abroad class Larry mentioned:"I always keep the academic and"activities"Neck and neck,this"Comprehensive quality"To make the interviewer favour,And a full/A lot of"Social activities experience"But collocation a horrible test scores,Such a resume,Also will make the interviewer extremely aversive."

排名“潜规则” ranking"Latent rules"

专业性文理学院比名校就业率更高 Professional liberal arts college school employment rate higher than

　　在美国，一些小型的专业性文理学院，其实比那些“常青藤名校”、“TOP10名校”性价比更高。因为，这些定位准确、专业性强、硬件和软件都比较集中于某个专门领域的中小型学院，善于培养高端“专才”，而这些学校的就业率甚至比传统的“名校”还要高。“许多美国企业的人力资源系统，会根据企业的个性需要、校友比例、专业水平等设置一个高校的"潜排名"，以此作为招聘的独家依据，而这个"排名"跟公众所熟知的"常青藤排名"、"T O P10排名"等可能会有较大差距。”深圳西点学院H R总监朱永生如是说。

In the United States,Some small professional liberal arts college,In fact than those who"Ivy school"/"TOP10 school"More cost-effective.because,The accurate positioning/Professional and strong/The hardware and software are focused on a specialized areas of small and medium-sized college,Good training high-end"professionals",And these school employment even more than the traditional"school"And high."Many American enterprise human resources system,According to the character of enterprises need/Alumni proportion/Professional level set of a university"Latent ranking",So as the sole basis for recruitment,And this"ranking"Known to the public"Ivy ranking"/"T O P10 ranking"And there may be a large gap."Shenzhen west college H R director Michael said.
