北有哈佛，南有杜克：What Duke Looks For

　　相比哈佛、耶鲁、普林斯顿，杜克虽然建校晚(1838年)，但无论是学术，还是综合实力，一直是和常春藤名校相抗衡，稳居全美TOP10，世界TOP20，连哈佛大学都被戏称是北方的杜克。著名校友包括：美国前总统尼克松、现任苹果CEO库克等，宋庆龄的父亲宋耀如等。

　　杜克大学本科生课程最好的学科为政治学、公共政策、历史和化学，工程系也很不错，特别是电子工程和生物医学工程更为其强项。大学最多学生选读的学科，依次是：社会科学(30%)、文科(16%)、工程(14%)、生命科学(11%)、心理学(8%)。杜克的学生体育好是出了名的，被认为 “杜克有全世界最好的篮球队”。

　　根据杜克大学官方发布的2017年秋季入学统计，国际学生只占到总人数的10%。那么什么样的学生能够成功进入杜克大学呢?

　　Duke offers a multitude of opportunities to its undergraduates. We’re looking for students ready to respond to those opportunities intelligently, creatively and enthusiastically. We like ambition and curiosity, talent and persistence, energy and humanity.

　　杜克大学为其学生提供了多种多样的机会。学校寻找那些时刻准备以自己的聪明、创造力和热情应对各种机会的学生。喜欢有目标、有好奇心、有才能、有毅力、有能力和有爱心的人。

　　When we read an application and then discuss an application in our Admissions Committee, we consider both the academic and the personal qualities of each student. We think about what a student has accomplished within the context of the opportunities and challenges he or she has faced. And we seek those students who will bring a variety of experiences, backgrounds, interests and opinions to the campus. We especially appreciate students who love thinking hard about things and who like to make a difference in the world.

　　初审完材料并和招生委员会讨论申请时，会综合评估每个学生的学术和个人素质。会同时考虑申请者的学术和个人素质。会考虑学生在面对机遇和挑战时所取得的成就。寻找那些能给学校带来各种经验、背景文化、兴趣和观点的学生。特别欣赏那些喜欢对事物竭力思考并且愿意改变世界的学生。

　　Because the admissions process is so personal and contextual, it's impossible to predict a candidate's chances of admission by looking at academic qualifications alone. We're guided initially by our assessment of six primary factors:

　　>>立即评估我的申请条件

　　因为招生是一个涉及个人和个人背景的过程，所以仅仅凭学历来预测候选人的入学机会是不可能的。会通过六个主要因素来指导评估：

　　· The rigor of a candidate's academic program申请人学术课程的严谨性

　　· Academic performance as measured by grades in academic courses学术课程中以分数衡量的学业成绩

　　· Letters of recommendation from two teachers and a counselor两位老师和一位counselor的推荐信

　　· Extracurricular activities课外活动

　　· The quality of thought and expression in the application essay申请文书中所表现出的思维能力和表达能力

　　· Standardized test scores标准化考试成绩

　　Students we accept haven't just gone through the motions—they've put heart and soul into the areas that interest them. Frankly, students we do not admit often have these qualities as well. That's why Admissions Committee members spend countless hours reading and evaluating applications each year. Ultimately, we consider applicants within the context of their particular circumstances and the applicant pool as a whole, and do our best to determine which students will make the best match with Duke.

　　我们接收学生不是走过场，学生必须全心全意地投入那些他们感兴趣的领域。坦白地说，那些没有申请成功的学生常常也具备这种品质。这就是为什么招生委员会成员每年花费无数小时阅读和评估学生申请的原因。最后，我们不仅会在申请人特定的背景下考虑评估申请人个人而且也会把所有申请人作为一个整体进行考虑，并尽最大努力确定那些最适合杜克的学生。
