前段时间Jacky和我联系,处于欣喜的纠结中。他今年高中毕业,申请美国本科入学,拿到多所美国顶级名校的录取和奖学金,包括哈佛大学,耶鲁大学,普林斯顿大学,西北大学,约翰霍普金斯大学,杜克大学及全额奖学金,圣路易斯华盛顿大学及全额奖学金。

在讨论深入了解及选择入读哪所大学时,我鼓励他将探索各名校的见闻和心得记录下来,和大家分享。Jacky欣然应允。在期待了一段时间后,Jacky给了我大大的惊喜,写了洋洋洒洒几十页的经验分享文章,全面介绍了他的考试和申请过程及经验,分别与十几位哈佛大学及耶鲁大学学长的交流见闻(因为他决定在哈佛和耶鲁选一所入读),以及为什么选择哈佛放弃耶鲁的最终决定。

更令我惊喜和感动的是,Jacky愿意将他这些宝贵的经验和资料全部免费分享给大家。并且,他还愿意和我做一次公开的分享会,直接和朋友们面对面聊聊他的成长故事和申请经验。
