新罕布什尔大学将接受中国高考成绩

美国新罕布什尔大学(University of New Hampshire)近日宣布，将从2019年春季学期起，开始接受中国学生用高考成绩来申请该校。

该校成为美国第一所接受中国高考成绩的州立大学。

根据新罕布什尔大学在官网上的介绍，“高考录取项目”(Post Gaokao Admission Program)适用于拥有高考成绩的中国高中毕业生，申请费用为60美元，今年的申请截止日期是2018年10月1日，被录取的中国学生在2019年1月春季学期入学时，就可以在该校开始大学生涯了。入学之后的学费加住宿等费用就和所有州外学生一样，每年约为45459美元。

对于如何进行这个项目，新罕布什尔大学表示，具体的招生标准尚未最后敲定。大体上来看，学校会根据申请者的高考成绩和排名以及英语技能，决定他们是否可以进入下一轮，面试会在北京、广州、成都和重庆四个城市进行，考生必须前往其中一个地点。

但是，光有高考成绩肯定是不够的。学校发言人还透露，申请人在通过高考成绩筛选这一关后，很可能需要参加SAT或者ACT考试。另外，在目前新罕布什尔大学公布的内容中，还没有看到有关通过该项目入学的学生能否申请奖学金、助学金的信息。

无独有偶，旧金山大学(University of San Francisco)在2015年中国高考之前宣布了一个针对中国学生的高考录取项目(Admission By Gaokao Examination Program)。中国学生可以凭借当年6月的高考成绩，申请2015年秋季入学。当年7月，共有25名中国学生用这样的方式拿到了旧金山大学的录取通知书。几个月后，该校宣布永久延期这个项目，每年7月和12月都接受这样的申请，高考成绩从此成为一个标准录取渠道。旧金山大学的录取标准为：高考成绩、高中成绩、与该校教授进行一对一的视频英语面试。相比之下，新罕布什尔大学目前公布的可能的录取流程更为复杂，学生参加完中国高考，可能还需参加 “美国高考SAT或ACT”。

此外，欧洲、澳大利亚和加拿大的几十所大学已经接受学生用高考成绩申请入学。

以下是有关该消息的英文原文，有兴趣的同学可以抽空阅读：

A US university will begin accepting the Chinese university entrance exam known as the Gaokao in an effort to attract more Chinese students.

The University of New Hampshire will be the first state university in the US to accept the standardized placement test.

China is the largest exporter of students to the US, with 377,000 currently enrolled in US universities, according to government data.

The University of New Hampshire had 781 international undergraduate and graduate students on campus last fall, according to the Union Leader newspaper – double the figure from five years previous. About half of those foreign students – 357 – came from China.

As part of the new initiative, the university has launched a recruiting website in Chinese and English.

“This initiative is part of UNH’s commitment to attracting more and stronger applicants from around the world,” said university spokeswoman Erika Mantz. “This new program will in no way limit access for New Hampshire students,” she added.

In addition to submitting their Gaokao results, students must also take an English test, participate in a video interview and send their high school transcripts before moving forward with the application process.

Ms. Mantz added that the process was still being finalized, but that Chinese students may still need to take the American SAT or ACT exam.

Students who are accepted will be able to begin classes in Durham this January, allowing them to start a semester early.

Previously, students from China would have had to wait for a new application period to begin in the autumn, putting them behind the rest of the first-year class.

A similar program at the University of San Francisco, a Jesuit college, allows Chinese students to bypass US standardized tests altogether and instead submit just their Gaokao score, grades, and English language interview.

International enrolment – in which students are required to pay full priced tuition – helps universities bolster revenue.

The University of New Hampshire charges $45,000 per academic year for tuition and housing costs.

Dozens of universities in Europe, Australia, and Canada already accept Gaokao results on applications.
