重庆快乐英语七段IVY LUO [在STARBUCKS无线上网的慵懒女孩]去年九月去BOSTON读硕, 半年后拿到VIACOM[NYC]及华纳兄弟[LA]实习机会,提名重庆快乐英语2008十大榜样第40位候选人!
重大电气覃自静获3所美国大学[Oregon, Florida, N. Carolina]全奖提名重庆快乐英语2008十大榜样第39位候选人
曾子墨:“高中毕业托福660的分数带给爸妈的喜悦,远远超过了我的想象。多年以后,我才明白,原来,660的分数,就像一张船票,能把我送到大洋彼岸,展开我幸福的人生。”-- 选自《墨迹》P20
考托考鸡不止一次,分数还是低得拿不到美国大学全奖怎么办?答:申请TOP-100以外的大学
较差大学怕你拿他保底占了名额不去怎么办?答:Honesty is the best policy.
国内每年有一万多人全奖留美,按人口平均重庆至少该有300人, 但实际上绝对不超过百人, 甚至不超过30人[如果不算重庆高中生考到外地大学的话]
重庆57所高校十几万应届毕业生中还能跃跃试一下的,恐怕只有重庆大学重点本科理工生了[在其它56所学校办成了那叫奇迹]。结果到美国一看,能在抵美前拿到全奖的,重庆大学恐怕算最差的国内大学之一了
而且,重大个别同学准备考托考鸡,基本上只能单打独斗,不仅无人可以与之切磋及互相激励,还要承受万一失败的巨大心理压力,本人谨在此向他们[多数是她们]的勇气致以无产阶级革命派的战斗敬礼!
由于上述种种原因,如果考托考鸡尽管不止一次,分数还是低得拿不到美国大学全奖怎么办?答:申请TOP-100以外但仍可能提供全奖的二三流大学。
但是,二三流大学怕你拿他保底占了名额不去怎么办?答:Honesty is the best policy [谎话总是说不圆的,何况还要在电话中用英语马上作答,这即使对那些有实力拿到美国排名五十左右大学全奖的同学,难度也太大了!]。
那么请看以下回信,并请以一举一反三的精神面对类似的WESTERN诚信考验
I really feel very excited for what you said in your recent e-mail. It seems that I am qualified to work for you as either TA or RA as long as I could convice you that I am indeed committed.
Well, if I said so, how do you know this is not another "empty promise"? This is why I decide to tell you the truth, all the truth.
It is given that we all want to get into at least the top-100 graduate schools in USA and I was not an exception, which was why I took TOEFL again.
Unfortunately, my scores just proved TOEFL is very accurate as it did to many peers of mine. The stuff I read at the Chinese going-overseas websites further convinced me that I am not qualified for the top-100. I believe this fact should be more convincing than any promise I could make to you.
Moreover, if I told you I am not going to apply for any other graduate school in USA, would you believe me? This is why I decide to tell you I am also planning to apply for another US school.
As you said, it is still too early for either of us to make the commitment. Therefore, may I suggest the following:
I will keep you posted about my application process. If at any point I feel it is the time for me to make my sincere commitment to you, I would let you know and hope that would not be too late for you to make your offer. At the same time, I hope you would kindly give me a call before you decide to make the offer to someone else.
I personally do not see any better way to deal with this matter. Dear Dr. XYZ, do you think what I said above is reasonable?
Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Honestly, so far in my application process, it is you who has treated me the best.
