前段时间在不同场合做了好几场夏校的讲座,收到很多家长的咨询,“要不要上夏校?”“上几个比较好?”“托福成绩不够好,有必要去夏校吗?”
关于夏校的好处和弊端,在讲座和之前的推文里我们也反复分析了。如果条件允许,特写君还是推荐大家至少上一次夏校。
个中原因,首先,夏校申请实际上和美本申请十分相似,都要填表,递交标化成绩和推荐信,有的还要写文书。如果这些步骤自己都曾经亲身经历一遍,到了真正的申请季时也就不会乱了阵脚,也不会出错。
另外,顶尖夏校,申请难度并不亚于美本。撰写夏校文书的过程,是一个非常好的契机让学生整理和反思自己的学习和生活。夏校文书的历练和思考,对于提升学生的自我认知水平和能力有很大帮助。

为了有效帮助未来申请者更好了解和理解“文书”,写出更真是更有力量的作品,我们将ZoomIn王牌文书产品AIR workshop精华浓缩,凝结为短期体验工作坊——BootCamp(申请预备营),迄今已经举办近20场。每一场,学员们都收获满满,不仅得到了申请一手资讯和信(information),更在这个开放、包容的环境中,有机会真实表达、自由探讨,对自己有了更多的洞察(insight)。
倘若对于自己的未来没有理解没有要求,谈何而来的文书,又谈何而来的他人对于你的认识和评价呢?或许现在的我,还是有点年幼,无法从更多的角度来认识自己。但我相信,当每个人能够清晰的剖析自己时,所收获到的不仅仅是对于自己的认识,还有对于未来的期许、展望。因此这次的boot camp活动带给我的,是一个思路,一个认知自己的思路。
——2018BootCamp学员 吴同学
QCS三字代表什么,想必也不必多言。
而其中最大的价值,便是同伴的交流。
这样一份认知,不仅仅应从你的个体认知出发,而是需要我们中国古人所谓强调的“海纳百川”来实现。

ZoomIn像家一样,老师与学生的沟通也像朋友一样,同时他们也是非常负责并专业地告诉你应该修改哪里。今天如果不来参加这次的Boot Camp的活动的话,那就真的太遗憾了。
——2018BootCamp学员 余同学
BootCamp这个产品同样对夏校申请者很有帮助。去年我们举行了一场夏校特别版BootCamp,反响热烈。
我们整理了广受欢迎、申请难度中上的大众情人夏校文书题目(见文末)后发现,夏校申请中最常见的问题围绕“why course”展开。要求学生对“我是谁”“我为什么选择这个课程”进行阐述,并考察学生是否有明确的目标
2019康奈尔夏校的题目为例:
What distinguishes you from your classmates and peers?
您区别于同学/同龄人有什么独特之处?
What do you expect to gain from Summer College?
您希望从夏校中获得什么?
Why did you select these programs?
您为什么选择这些项目课程?
What do you hope to accomplish during the program?
您希望在课程期间完成什么?
时值同学们期末考试收官,不少优质夏校也开放申请入口,夏校申请提上议程。本月,我们再次升级优化流程,更有针对性重启这一经典产品,推出2019夏校申请版BootCamp。
夏校版BootCamp的亮点
1. 你将在夏校BootCamp里完成目标校or经典夏校文书题目撰写。
这篇文书凝聚夏校申请最关键的两个问题:
一,你是谁?
二,你对项目的理解?你是否有明确目标?
2. 课程中,导师将告诉你文书撰写的与评估的原理,同时帮助你更好地认识自己的与众不同。
3. 导师将引导大家相互点评交流,启发大家对文书有更多的思路和更深刻的认识,并对文书进行自我校正和二次修改。
4. 你可以在BootCamp中了解不同类别的夏校情况和推荐,学会挑选适合自己的夏校项目。
5. BootCamp结束后,你会收到一份夏校文书指导报告。之后,你就可以根据建议修改文书,踏上夏校申请之旅啦!
