How are international students evaluated?招生官如何评估国际生？

Basically using the same academic criteria as for U.S. citizens and residents. In all cases, the primary consideration is the GPA and the rigor of the high school courses. High schools usually send a school profile along with the required student transcript and report. There is also an international supplement required from the high school counselor. Transcripts and recommendations as well as any other supporting materials need to be officially translated into English.

我们基本上使用与美国本土学生相同的学术标准评估国际生。拿到学生的申请材料后，我们首先参考的是GPA和高中课程的公信力。高中通常会在寄送学生成绩单和学术报告的同时提供一份学校简介。高中升学顾问还需提供一份国际生申请补充材料。成绩单、推荐信以及其他材料需要以官方认证的形式翻译成英文。

International students are usually evaluated in pretty much the same holistic manner as domestic students.

通常，国际生的评估方式与本国学生评价方式大同小异，都是根据学生情况整体打分。

Each college will have their own international qualifications experts, often the admissions officers who travel to those countries - for those that are unfamiliar then there are agencies around who will offer US equivalences to every national system out there in order to calculate a GPA - it is still wise to make sure that some kind of equivalence to a US 4 point GPA scale is on your school transcript though.

每所大学都有自己的国际生资质审核专家，这些专家通常由前往招生国家的招生官组成。对于不熟悉国际生录取的大学，专业机构会向其提供服务，保证国际生的成绩单可以采取美国本土4.0方式计算GPA，这样能够确保国际生和美国本土学生在相同的评估标准下进行比较。

International students' applications are evaluated in much the same way as other students' applications. More and more colleges are becoming aware of the difficulties in confirming the accuracy of information on international applications so there may very well be more intense scrutiny in the near future. This is especially the case for some applications in certain parts of Asia.

国际生申请评估方式与其他学生大同小异。越来越多大学开始意识到审核国际生申请信息准确性方面存在的困难，因此不久的将来可能会有更严格的审查，尤其是面向亚洲某些特定地区的申请人。

With more scrutiny than ordinary students, but they are often multi-lingual, very well traveled and have much to add to the diversity of the student population. Colleges also verify that they can afford to pay w/$0 in financial aid.

虽然与本土学生相比国际生面临更严格的审核，但他们通常掌握多语种、见识广，且有助于增强学生群体多样性。大学也会确认他们是否有能力支付一定数额的学校赞助。

International students slowly but surely gaining a strong hold on America' schools. This year not once superceded, but surges in the amount of international applications submitted to American colleges. China seems to be rapidly reaching their competition and catching up the trend of having the youth of their countries educated by the most elite colleges in the world.

海外学生一定会慢慢在美国学校站稳脚跟。今年向美国递交入学申请的留学生数量再创新高。中国正迅速步入竞争行列，赶上了让本国青年接受世界精英大学教育的趋势潮流。

For example, 10 years ago 17 Chinese students applied to the University of Virginia; three years ago 177 students applied and this year 800 applied. Over the past three years, the number of Chinese applicants to Georgetown University has increased from 95 to 208, at George Mason increased from 54 to almost 100, George Washington University 270 to 350, Brown University from 16 to 500 an Stanford from 268 to 400. Many colleges have been capitalizing on Chinese interest in studying abroad and heavily recruiting in China, hoping to gain name recognition among the country’s increasing wealthy families.

例如，10年前仅有17名中国学生申请弗吉尼亚大学，3年前177名，今年达到了800名。在过去三年里，乔治敦大学的中国申请者从95人增加到208人；乔治梅森大学的中国申请人数从54人增加到近100人；乔治华盛顿大学从270人增加到350人；布朗大学从16人增加到500人；斯坦福从268人增加到400人。许多大学一直在利用中国人对出国留学的热情对从中获利，在华大量招生，希望在中国日益富裕的家庭中获得知名度。
