煮熟的鸭子飞了? 加州大学欧文分校取消500多名学生的录取

2018年01月30日 15:32 4135人浏览


很多学生表示取消录取资格的信函中,并没有给出任何理由,还有些学生在7月1日的截止时间很早之前,就发送了自己的官方成绩单,甚至有部分学生是亲自将成绩单送到UCI学校的。因此学生们怀疑UCI此举仅仅是为了简单粗暴地解决过量学生接受录取的问题。

迫于舆论压力,加州大学欧文分校I副校长针对此事终于发布官方声明。

下面附上双语声明:

Dear Prospective Anteater:

亲爱的食蚁兽们(食蚁兽为 UCI 的吉祥物,泛指该校的学生)

You recently received a letter from our admissions team regarding your status at the University of California, Irvine. I understand that the notification may have been disappointing and frightening, so I wanted to take a moment to explain our decision-making process, help you respond, and acknowledge our missteps.

你最近收到了一封来自我们招生团队的信,有关于你在加州大学尔湾分校的申请及录取状态。我明白这份通知可能给你带来失望和恐慌,因此我想花点时间解释一下我们的决策过程,以帮助你应对,并承认我们的失误。

This year, UCI experienced unprecedented demand from students eager to join the Anteater family. We received more than104, 000 applications – more than all but two colleges nationwide – and the number of students intending to register for fall classes was higher than expected. You are to be once again congratulated for your acceptance into one of the world ’ s premier universities.

今年,UCI 收到的申请人数创历史新高,学生们加入食蚁兽大家庭的热情空前高涨。我们共收到超过 10 万 4000 份的申请-仅仅少于全国范围内两所大学的数量,而打算登记秋季课程的学生人数也比预期要高。再次祝贺你被世界顶级之一的大学录取。

Acceptances into all University of California campuses is provisional, contingent on meeting the contractual terms and conditions that were clearly outlined in your original admissions offer. This includes submitting all academic materials such as transcripts and test scores by the agreed-upon deadline, upholding strong academic performance throughout the senior year of high school that meets agreed upon thresholds, and having no discrepancies between the grades and courses you reported on your application and what we see once we review your official final transcript.

所有加州大学的录取都是暂定的,最终取决于你是否能够达到录取通知上所列举的入学申请要求。这包括:在截止日期前提交所有学术材料,如成绩单和考试成绩;在高三毕业期间保持良好的学术水平,达到录取分数要求;保障申请时所提交的成绩及课程与我们最后收到的官方成绩单一致。

Every year, we notify students who are not in compliance with these terms and conditions. And, every year, there are students who did not comply for legitimate reasons. In some cases, the actions which result in an offer being rescinded occur through no fault of the student. Perhaps their high school didn ’ t process the transcript or a teacher submitted the wrong grade. For those cases, we have an appeal process outlined on our website ( http://www.admissions.uci.edu/apply/faq/appeals.php ) . If you believe that you received a withdrawal notification in error, or you have legitimate reasons for not complying with the acceptance agreement, I urge you to appeal. For those of you who already submitted an appeal, we are reviewing them as quickly as possible and we thank you for your patience as we work through the files we are reviewing.

每年,我们都会通知不符合规定的学生们,因不符合规定遭退学的情况也时有发生。

有时候学生被退学并非自身的原因,可能是高中学校未能寄送成绩单或老师提交了错误的成绩。如果是这样的情况,我们的网站上有上诉流程 ( http://www.admissions.uci.edu/apply/faq/appeals.php ) 。如果学生认为收到的通知有误,或学生有未能遵守规定的合理理由,都可以上诉。对于那些已经上诉的学生,我们在以最快的速度进行审理并且感谢你们在此期间的耐心等待。

We heard from some students that this year ’ s process was too stringent and our customer-service approach needs improvement. I acknowledge that we took a harder line on the terms and condition this year and we could have managed that process with greater care, sensitivity, and clarity about available options. Also contributing to the angst many of you have experienced is our traditional communication and outdated telephone systems that did not serve us well in this circumstance. For those who felt ignored or mistreated, I sincerely apologize.

我们听到有学生反映今年的入学审查太过严苛,而且学校的客服部门也需要改善。我承认我们今年提高了入学条件和标准,本来可以将申请流程做的更好,更谨慎,细致及清晰。但是,令大多数人感到焦虑和沮丧的是我们传统的沟通方式和过时的电话系统,没有能够很好地为申请者及校方提供帮助。我们向那些感到被忽视和怠慢的申请者们表示深深的歉意。

We are making every effort to do better, immediately. I have directed the admissions team to step up the personal outreach to notified students. We ’ re bringing in more people to review appeals and answer phones. We are committed to correcting any errors swiftly and providing the help you need in an empathetic and understanding way.

现在,我们正尽一切努力去做的更好。我已经组织我们的招生团队以最快的速度去和学生们取得联系。我们增加了更多的人员来阅读申诉和接听电话。我们承诺将会以最快的速度更正何错误,并且站在学生的角度为你们提供帮助。

In closing, there is one point that I want to make clear: All accepted students who meet the terms and conditions of the admissions offer will be welcomed into the Anteater Family. No acceptance will be withdrawn due to over-enrollment, despite external reports to the contrary.

最后,尽管外界报道的相反,有一点我要明确说明:欢迎所有被录取及符合入学条件的学生加入食蚁兽大家庭,不会有任何一份申请因为超过录取人数而被撤销。

We are dedicated to providing outstanding educational opportunities to as many qualified students as possible, and strive to ensure Anteaters have a successful and positive experience on campus and in the classroom.

我们致力于尽可能多地给符合条件的学生提供卓越的教育机会,并努力确保学生们在校园和教室里都有一个成功且积极的学习经历。

Sincerely,

敬上,

Thomas A. Parham, Ph.D

拿到offer,如何避免大学撤销你的录取?

多高三的同学们在拿到心仪大学的offer后就想着万事大吉了,于是就旅游,刷剧,以至于导致GPA下降。这些同学放松是放松了,可是却面临被撤销offer的危机!这篇文章就来给大家科普一下拿到offer后可能会面临的情况,如果高三不努力的话,就算拿到了offer也有可能要家里蹲呀!

offer被拒

如何避免大学撤销你的录取?

很多人以为不同于英国、部分加拿大大学的条件录取,学生在被美国大学录取之后就万事大吉了,所以也就开始放松,不管不顾了,各种安排、旅行、逃课、放肆等,对于常常会出现的所谓“高年级倦怠症”(senioritis)毫无顾忌,其实不然,美国大学在发放录取通知后因为学生的种种原因而撤销(rescind/revoke)录取的情况并不算罕见。所以,即使offer在手,也得要慎重,继续认真学习、过好有意义的高三生活,毕竟这也是为自己的未来做准备。

根据美国国家大学升学指导协会(NACAC)2009年的一项针对上一年大学招生录取的调查(见下图),约21%的大学有撤销录取的案例发生。最常见的原因根据调查(多选)显示有:高中最后一学年的成绩出现了问题(65%),然后是违纪情况(35%),再有就是申请资料的伪造(29%)。相对来说,公立大学(84%)比私立院校(49%)更容易出现撤销录取的情况;一些竞争更为激励的顶尖大学似乎更容易因为学生在高中最后一年的违规违纪而撤销录取。

撤销录取数据

可能不少人拿到Acceptance letter后都是喜出望外,没有注意到在信的末尾一般都会有类似这样的话语:The acceptance is conditional upon the successful completion of thefinal year of high school. It is our expectation that you remain fully engagedin your studies and other pursuits for the remainder of your secondary schoolcareer. (录取是基于你能成功完成高中最后一学年成绩的条件之上的。我们期望你能在余下的时间里继续全身心投入学业和努力当中。)

那么什么情况下有可能会面临大学撤销录取呢?

学生成绩严重下滑。何谓严重下滑,如果你是一个A学生或者90+分的学生,你在高三一些学科取得的成绩是B或者80+分,这大约不算是严重下滑的情况;如果一个A学生或者90+分学生,在很多高三学科中出现了C或70+及以下的成绩,这就会比较危险。如果仅仅是单科,问题则不大。其他层次的学生以此类推。

学生成绩在高三学科出现了不及格,这也很危险,尤其是主要学科。

学生在申请时所列出高三在修的课程发生了重大变化,比如,原本选择了更高难度的AP课程(不是考试),结果转而选择了一些更为轻松的非AP课程,如果这样课程变化较多,也是比较危险的。或者是原本列出了5门课程,结果却中途放弃了一些课程,变成了3门或者更少。因为大学录取你时,最后一年所修课程也是考虑因素之一。

拿到录取信之后,就不再查阅大学后续提醒补交材料的邮件或者通知,而错过了重要的信息或截止日期。

在高中最后一年出现了重大违纪、甚至违法事件(高中升学指导顾问或咨询师须如实向大学汇报该情况)。

无论因为何种原因,未能成功拿到高中毕业证。

大学在后续过程中发现学生的申请材料涉嫌造假。

那么如何避免自己的录取被撤销呢?

首先,自然是好好学习、继续保持好的GPA,顺利毕业啊,甚至还可以自行多学一些,包括AP,为进入大学做准备,也可以换学分(多学东西是录取是不会被撤销的)。

高三第一个学期往往由于忙于申请会影响到学习,那么在申请季后,在寒假和高三第二个学期,必须好好努力,提升GPA表现。

如果在给大学提交了Mid-Year Report(MYR,中期成绩报告即高三第一学期成绩)后,大学给你发了warning(警告)邮件,不要慌,至少没有被直接取消录取,应该立即回复大学解释为什么会出现成绩下滑的情况,并表达你会继续努力的决心——当然表达了决心后,要真的有改变,成绩有提高。

如果确实因为特殊原因自己的选课发生了变化(尤其是换课或减课),一定要提前让你的升学指导顾问和咨询师知道,他们在提交MYR时是可以替你说明的,当然你自己也可以写邮件给大学说明和解释。

其实拿到录取后,只要稍微留心和努力,应该不至于让录取撤销这种事情发生;如果抱着一种:大学也录了我、高中不能怎样我的心态,就不对了,这属于自作的行为。严格来说,如果你太过分,推荐你的老师和帮助你的指导顾问是有责任向大学撤销对你的推荐和汇报你的真实情况的,这是这些老师、咨询师以及你的学校能够被国外大学所尊重和认可的重要原因,因为他们要保证真实、透明和诚信。
