目前受中国学生和家长喜欢的学校,绝大多数都能在Common Application和UC Application申请系统中找到。但是不在“绝大多数”群体中的学校……肿么办?
能够通过CAAS系统申请的学校
2015年9月28日,美国83所高校宣布了一项计划,即共同创建一个新的大学申请系统——联盟申请系统CAAS,英文全称是the Coalition for Access , Affordability and Success。
去年开始正式接受学生申请的新系统Coalition平台截止目前宣布,2017/2018申请季将有116所院校用该系统接受本科新生申请。
想知道CAAS全部成员学校列表?请戳:http://www.coalitionforcollegeaccess.org/members.html
首先你需要在https://applyweb.collegenet.com/account/new/create?origin=https://www.mycoalition.org/app进行注册,注册完成登录后,你可以看到:
仔细看图中标识大家可以发现,与CA和UC都不同的是吗,CAAS为申请者提供了一个Locker,这是什么?
Virtual College Locker,是申请者上传文件的一个Locker,我们也可以把这个虚拟储物柜理解为一个专供大学申请使用的Dropbox或者百度云盘。学生可以在这里保存任何对申请有帮助的文件和材料,包括课堂作业、人生经历、生活体验、获奖经历、文书草稿、灵感碎片、以及个人照片等。学生在这里储存的资料都是保密的,除非个人愿意分享,否则其他人是无法看到的。
重要的是CAAS鼓励所有申请者从9年级开始使用系统,在Locker中记录自己中学四年的点点滴滴,这可是前面两个网申系统做不到的哦~
下面我们看一下填表步骤:
● 第一步: 点击Profile
这部分内容与CA、UC都比较相似,填过CA和UC表格的申请者一定不会觉得陌生
● 第二步:点击Locker
进入后点击“upload”键,会出现以上界面,上传想上传的文件,文件总大小不要超过50M。
在第四部分也就是选择了需要申请的学校之后,Locker中会出现“Official Documents”,在这里你可以看到不同学校要求的官方文件,即成绩单、推荐信等(需要counselor和推荐人完成)。
● 第三步:点击Contacts,填写推荐人信息
这部分如实填写即可,但是要注意:推荐人必须已经使用你提供的email注册CAAS,你才能将他/她添加到你的Contacts当中。
● Step. 4 添加需要申请的学校
输入关键字→找到你要添加的学校→点击Add to list就
了。通过其他平台及学校独立系统申请的学校
还有一丢丢部分的学校,CA、UC和CAAS都申请不到,怎么办?
这部分学校有自己独立的一套申请系统,或者需要通过系统平台申请。
