　　4

　　还未公布针对新SAT的政策

　　Rice University 莱斯大学

　　Georgetown University 乔治城大学

　　Washington University in St. Louis 圣路易斯华盛顿大学

　　Carnegie Mellon University 卡内基梅隆大学

　　University of California--Los Angeles 加州大学洛杉矶分校

　　University of California, Berkeley加州大学伯克利分校

　　University of Southern California 南加州大学

　　University of Michigan--Ann Arbor 密歇根大学-安娜堡分校

　　Brandeis University 布兰迪斯大学

　　University of Illinois Urbana Champaign 伊利诺伊大学香槟分校

　　University of Texas at Austin 德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校

　　政策解读：

　　新旧SAT明年肯定是绝大部分学校同时接受，不过值得注意的是新SAT写作部分变成了选考，各个学校是否要求写作部分将会成为一个新的关注点。根据College Board公布出来的已经确定明年是否要求递交新SAT写作部分的学校政策来看，绝大部分学校都是不要求的（not require），有部分学校是推荐。硬性要求递交的学校以耶鲁、普林斯顿、斯坦福和整个加州系统为代表，其他常见的顶尖名校或者常春藤，比如麻省理工、康奈尔、布朗等，则明确写着既不要求也不推荐（Neither require nor recommend）。

　　申请规划：

　　1. 各所院校对新旧SAT的接受程度各不相同，考试成绩作为申请录取的其中一部分，对于2016年申请的学生来说，选校策略可能要提前到报名考试之前，才能万无一失的准备所有材料。

　　2. 如果对于旧SAT成绩和预期目标不是很匹配，那么对于新SAT和ACT的选择势必要谨慎。毕竟新SAT分数变成1600分后，大学录取招生委员会只能做"换算参考"作为分数评判的标准，即400-1600分（新）对应600-2400分（旧），相比旧SAT，并没有明显的历史数据和美国大学院校录取分数要求进行相对匹配。ACT和SAT作为大学录取新生的重要依据，已被绝大多数学校普遍接受， SAT改革的焦点也是因为旧SAT更倾向于学生的应试能力，与学生的学习能力和综合运用能力背道而驰，根据美国大学委员会College Board之前发布的报告，新SAT改革后也更趋近于ACT考试，更像一种学科考试。因此ACT成绩录取对于申请者来说稳定性更合乎情理。

　　小结：

　　考试备考固然重要，但是作为美国本科大学的录取标准，成绩并非申请的唯一要求，对于2017或者2018届的同学来说SAT改革虽然有一定影响，但同学在保持好成绩的同时，课外活动及背景提升同样不可忽视，2016年暑期课程的申请多数学校将在4月1日前截止，因此这个夏天也是提升软实力的好机会。
