升学指导

 

概述

波士顿国际学校的学生服务部致力于提供一个包容性的体验式课程，使每个学生都能充分发挥自己的教育、身体和发展潜力。该计划致力于促进和维护学校社区的健康和福祉。

四年计划

9年级

学生主要与学校辅导员合作，专注于学术准备，更积极地参与校园里的俱乐部和组织，并开始走向职业准备。此外，大学辅导员可以在预定的会议上提供支持。在8/9年级的春季，学生参加PSAT 8/9，并与辅导员会面以选择时间表。学生应该努力制定一个具有挑战性但不压倒性的时间表。教师顾问、系协调员和学术负责人都可以协助制定时间表。

10年级

学生们继续努力在学业上走向成熟。10年级学生在10月份参加PSAT/NMSQT，这是作为DP候选人参加SAT考试的练习。PSAT不向大学报告。分数在辅导员和学生之间进行讨论，并提供学生潜在优势和劣势的指标。在这个阶段，学生和他们的家长将被介绍给BridgeU，并将开始探索该平台提供的各种工具。其中包括旨在帮助学生更多地了解自己的兴趣清单测试，以及世界各地最全面的最新学院和大学名单。春季，学生将再次与辅导员合作，为下一年选择课程，并确定哪种系统最适合他们，并在大学辅导员的帮助下制定个人学习和测试计划。家长们被邀请参加家长会、研讨会，了解大学咨询时间表并提问。

11年级

学生开始参加大学咨询课程，这将帮助他们在最后几年及以后的大学申请过程中导航。常规课程旨在帮助学生在12年级开始为申请大学做准备。课程将涵盖世界各地的大学比较、文科教育、个人陈述、补充论文、入学截止日期和许多其他主题。我们的目标是在11年级建立对这一过程的深刻理解，以便学生在12年级回到学校，准备立即开始申请。

除了这门课程，大学辅导员还会单独与学生和家庭会面，制定申请大学的行动计划。这将涉及建立大学名单、财务考试准备建议、面试和论文支持。

12年级

学生们应该努力争取在学术、社会和经济上最合适的学院和大学。随着学年开始，学生们会定期与大学辅导员会面，讨论在准备和向大学提交申请时可能出现的任何问题。虽然这主要是一个学生驱动的过程，但他们将得到大量的指导和帮助。欢迎家长就大学规划过程（包括经济援助和金钱问题）与辅导员联系。

FAQ

Offered by the College Board, the PSAT is designed to measure mathematical, verbal, and writing abilities necessary for success in colleges.

The test is a practice exam for the SAT. It is also used by the NMSQT to determine candidates for the National Merit Scholarship Program, the National Achievement Program for African American Students, and the National Hispanic Scholars Program; 1% of students with the highest nationwide scores may be eligible for further scholarship consideration.

Many students scoring between 95-99% are awarded Letters of Commendation in recognition of their achievement.

The PSAT exam is offered to all BIS students through G8-11 each October/January.

Students do not need to register in advance; registration is automatic through the College Counseling Office.

In most cases, if you are a musician, artist, or thespian your application process will be the same as your peers.

You will, though, want to submit a special resume detailing your musical, artistic, and acting accomplishments. Moreover, a portfolio, recording, or video of your work is recommended.

Some colleges, especially those with conservatories, may have special requirements and audition or portfolio days. Look closely at the fine print in their applications.

College visits can be made any time during the junior and senior years.

To learn how to best maximize a visit to a college campus, visit the college’s website or call the admissions office. A tour, information session and, if offered, an interview are three productive ways to spend your time while visiting a college.

Over the years, BIS students have been following the international trend and have applied to an increasing number of colleges. In recent years, BIS students have applied to an average of 8 schools. We recommend that students apply to between 6 and 12 schools, depending on the student and the types of schools he or she is applying to. We work individually with students to make sure that their final college lists are balanced.

The BEST way to find scholarships to apply for is to apply to universities you are interested in. Why? Universities have dedicated matching scholarship searches ONLY available to students who have been accepted. The scholarships you find in University portals are vetted (legitimate) and usually matched to your strengths, which increases your chances to earn them.

Speak with your school counselor, HR advisor for up-to-date information.

Check out the following scholarship sites

There are two types of scholarships, Merit Based Institutional scholarships and "Private" or "External" scholarships. To get Merit Based institutional scholarships, try to get the best grades possible all through high school, keeping your G.P.A. (Grade Point Average) close to 4.0, which is the highest you can get. The great thing about Merit Based Institutional scholarships is that you don't need to apply for them as a senior. When you apply to Universities, you will be awarded them automatically based on your high school performance.

Private or External scholarships are competitive scholarships that have different types of eligibility criteria. Many websites have lists of these types of scholarships. But, you need to be sure that the scholarship is legitimate. If a scholarship ever asks you to send money, it is not a real scholarship. Please talk to your counselor if you have questions.
