重磅!劍橋招生官親自解答中國學(xué)生問題，劍橋申請者不容錯過!

劍橋大學(xué)在世界人民心中的地位那都是有目共睹的，所以劍橋大門的正確的打開方式是怎樣的呢?還記得之前CA熱火朝天的“劍橋申請問題征集”嗎?劍橋招生官親自解答了大家的問題!想申請劍橋的小伙伴趕緊看一看!

Q：請問如果想申劍橋教育學(xué)專業(yè)，A-level選課除了官網(wǎng)上的申請條件還有什么其他的隱性要求嗎?

A：The entry requirements are on the website and will specify if a particular subject is required at A level, this tends to be the case for Science subjects. For Education there are no specific subjects required, however some Colleges may require you to have taken a subject relevant to the track you wish to study (Education is split into Education, Psychology and Learning; Education, Policy and International Development; and Education, English, Drama and the Arts). You can check with an individual College what their requirements are should you have a particular College in mind that you wish to apply to.

一般入學(xué)條件在網(wǎng)站上都有，如果有具體A level科目要求也會列出來，科學(xué)相關(guān)科目基本是這樣。教育專業(yè)沒有特定的科目要求，不過劍橋有些學(xué)院可能會要求你學(xué)習(xí)過教育分支某一相關(guān)科目(教育分成教育、心理與學(xué)習(xí);教育、政策與國際發(fā)展;教育、英語、戲劇與藝術(shù))。如果心里已經(jīng)有目標(biāo)學(xué)院，那么就可以到具體學(xué)院信息下查詢?nèi)雽W(xué)要求。

Q：劍橋?qū)-level重考是持有怎么樣的態(tài)度?

A：We wouldn’t be too concerned by a small number of resits. If there are extenuating circumstances e.g. illness that would explain poor performance please make sure the teacher notifies us in the teacher reference as well. If someone has a large number of resits with no clear reason why we may be more concerned as there are not generally opportunities to resit exams here at Cambridge so we would look to admit students who can generally ‘get it right first time’.

小規(guī)模重考不是太大問題。如果是情有可原的理由(比如說疾病)可以解釋為什么沒考好，老師一定要在推薦信中說明。如果沒有明確的理由大面積重考的學(xué)生可能不太容易被接受，因為劍橋平時學(xué)習(xí)一般沒有重考機會，所以我們想要的是“一次就過”的學(xué)生。

Q：劍橋?qū)τ谠谟就磷xA-level課程的學(xué)生和在國內(nèi)讀Alevel的高中生本科申請側(cè)重點上有什么不同?

A：They would be the same –A*A*A for Science courses and A*AA for Humanities. We don’t have any quotas for international v domestic students, we are looking for the best students from anywhere in the world. The only extra requirement would be English language requirements –we would ask for an IELTS 7.5, with 7.0 or above in each element, achieved in one sitting. But as you are studying a qualification in English hopefully this should be achievable!

入學(xué)條件上是一視同仁的，科學(xué)課程要求A*A*A，人文要求A*AA。劍橋?qū)τ趪H生和本土學(xué)生沒有配額限制，我們希望招募世界各地的優(yōu)秀學(xué)生來此學(xué)習(xí)。對國際生唯一的額外要求就是語言，劍橋要求雅思7.5單項不低于7.0，一次考試全部達到，不過對于正在學(xué)習(xí)英國證書的學(xué)生來說，能達到的機會還是很大的!

Q：在申請過程中, A-level, preinterview筆試和面試分別占多大的比重?

A：There isn’t one! We look at students on a very individual basis so we will consider a number of academic areas but their weighting will depend on the student – some do better in exams and some at interview, for example. We will look at your grades and predicted grades, personal statement, teacher reference, written assessment and interview. So just try to represent yourself as best you can in every aspect of the application!

并沒有這樣的規(guī)定!我們看學(xué)生都是按照不同個體來對待的，我們會考慮學(xué)術(shù)的很多方面，但是具體比重取決于學(xué)生本人，比方說有人擅長考試有人面試表現(xiàn)很好。我們會綜合參考你的成績和預(yù)估成績、PS、老師推薦信、筆試與面試。所以在申請中盡量展現(xiàn)出每一面最好的自己吧!

Q：想問下劍橋面試有哪些注意事項，面試官最看重學(xué)生的哪些方面?

A：There are some useful references online for this.

The interview is academic based and is conducted by a specialist in the area of study you are applying for. It is designed to be similar in format to the small group/ individual teaching style Cambridge is known for, the ‘supervisions’. The interviewer(s) will start with questions related to either your personal statement or what you have been studying in school and then will move to more challenging questions that are designed to stretch you. They are interested in how you think so won’t expect the correct answer right away, but make sure you can explain your reasoning out loud. It is fine to ask questions, the interviewer is there to help you, they aren’t trying to catch you out. Remember that the interview is only one part of the application process (see Q4).

劍橋網(wǎng)站上有面試相關(guān)的有用參考資料。

劍橋面試是以學(xué)術(shù)為主，是由你所申領(lǐng)域的專家來面試的。有點類似于劍橋小組/個人教學(xué)模式中的‘supervisions’。面試最開始會問你關(guān)于PS上的問題或者是在高中時候?qū)W了什么，然后會轉(zhuǎn)到為了拓寬你個人可能性的一些有挑戰(zhàn)性的問題。面試老師感興趣的是你怎樣思考，所以不會要求你立馬就給出正確答案，但是你應(yīng)該大聲地解釋你的理由。問問題也是可以的，面試官也會幫助你，面試的過程并不是為了挑刺。大家要記住面試只是申請過程中的一部分而已。

Q：如果alevel成績達到了學(xué)校的要求，自身沒有課外活動會影響錄取嗎?

A：At Cambridge extra-curricular activities which aren’t related to the subject you are applying for don’t form part of the application decision. We are however interested in ‘super-curricular’ activities which are activities you undertake outside of class time which relate to the subject you are applying for. This can be any number of things but will demonstrate to us your interest and motivation to study your subject of choice. Make sure in your personal statement you tell us about these activities. The statement should be around 80% on academics and super curricular and 20% extracurricular.

在劍橋，與申請科目無關(guān)的課外活動是不計入錄取因素的。而我們感興趣的是你課外參加的與申請科目相關(guān)的“課程活動”。很多類型的活動都可以，只要是能展現(xiàn)你對所選科目的個性興趣和動機就行。確保自己在PS中列出了這些活動。PS的內(nèi)容應(yīng)該80%是圍繞學(xué)術(shù)與“課程活動”，20%是圍繞課外活動。

Q：想申請劍橋建筑專業(yè) Ps和作品集要怎么準備?有什么好的建議?

A：All Architecture applicants invited to interview are expected to show a portfolio of recent work at the interview but this isn't expected to be work of an architectural nature (e.g. plans, sections etc.).

Admissions Tutors want to see something that illustrates your interests, experience and ability in the visual and material arts. This may include drawings, paintings, sculpture and/or photography may also be included. It's usually sufficient for three-dimensional work to be exhibited in photographs.

A sketchbook with ongoing drawings is extremely helpful and applicants are encouraged to take one to the interview. It may be in any media (pencil, charcoal, crayon etc.) and should include a variety of subject matter. The work can be material prepared for school-leaving examinations but creative work executed outside formal courses is also welcome.

Portfolio requirements vary from College to College. Please see the Department website and individual College websites for further guidance.

所有獲得面試邀請的建筑申請者都要在面試時展示自己最近的作品集，但不能是建筑結(jié)構(gòu)圖(比如說藍圖、截面等)。

面試官想看到的是能說明你的興趣、經(jīng)歷和能力的藝術(shù)作品，可以是草圖、打印、雕塑或者攝影作品。三維立體作品可以在照片中展示。

連續(xù)的寫生簿也是非常有幫助的，最好面試的時候能帶一本去?？梢允侨魏我环N(鉛筆、炭筆、蠟筆等)，應(yīng)該包括很多專業(yè)相關(guān)的東西。可以是畢業(yè)考試時候準備的材料，不過也歡迎正式課堂以外的創(chuàng)意作品。

學(xué)院跟學(xué)院之間的作品集要求還不同，具體請參考科系網(wǎng)站和學(xué)院網(wǎng)站，查找更多具體消息。

Q： 申請劍橋大學(xué)能否同時申請不同的專業(yè)?

A： You can apply to up to 5 UK universities through UCAS, although you must choose between Oxford and Cambridge. You can only apply to one course at Cambridge. We would expect that you are applying to similar courses at each of your chosen institutions. You are demonstrating your interest in a particular subject to us throughout the application process, so if you are applying to more than one subject area this would be counterproductive. That said, courses at different universities may not all have the exact same name and that is fine as long as they are in the same subject area.

通過UCAS你可以同時申請5所英國大學(xué)，但是牛津和劍橋只能選一個。你只能申請劍橋的一門課程，我們希望所選院校你能都申請相似的課程。通過申請向我們表明你對某一科目的興趣，如果你申請不止一個科目領(lǐng)域，那反倒會有不利。不同大學(xué)的課程可能不是都用一個課程名，不過只要是相同領(lǐng)域的就行。

Q：劍橋各個學(xué)院要求是否有出入，如果自己想要申請的目標(biāo)學(xué)院沒有被錄取是否可以調(diào)劑到其他的學(xué)院?

A：The requirements are similar across the Colleges, and the standard university offer is indicated on our website, however Colleges may have slightly different requirements. It is best to check on the individual College’s website if you have a particular one in mind. You must choose one College to apply to, or make an open application and we will allocate you to a College. This is the College that will assess your application, however we do have a moderation system known as the pool. This means that other Colleges can view applications from good applicants who aren’t accepted by their original College, so it is possible to receive an offer from a different College to the one you applied to.

劍橋各學(xué)院要求類似，標(biāo)準錄取要求網(wǎng)站上有明確給出，不過學(xué)院之間的入學(xué)要求可能會有細微的不同，如果有目標(biāo)學(xué)院最好到學(xué)院網(wǎng)站下具體查詢。申請的時候必須指定一所學(xué)院或者開放申請聽學(xué)校安排。將由這所學(xué)院審核你的申請，不過劍橋也有一個調(diào)劑系統(tǒng)叫做pool抽選系統(tǒng)，也就是說別的學(xué)院也可以查看并沒有申請他們學(xué)院的優(yōu)秀申請者，所以你有可能收到的錄取不是一開始申請的學(xué)院給你發(fā)的。

Q：在準備申請的過程中，除了成績和英語還有什么是需要提前準備的?

A：You will also write a personal statement as part of your UCAS application (see Q6), and there will be a written assessment. The format for this varies depending on the subject you are applying for but all the information will be on our website on the relevant course page. Most assessments take place either at the beginning of November or on the day of your interview, depending on subject. There are practice papers on the website for you to look over. Top tip: make sure you practice under timed conditions. You can also prepare for the interview by reading over your personal statement and brushing up on the topics you are studying at school.

你還需要寫一份PS作為UCAS申請的一部分，還有筆試考試。考試形式取決于所申科目，但所有信息都能在網(wǎng)站相關(guān)課程頁面找到。大多數(shù)測試都安排在十一月初或者是面試當(dāng)天，因科目而異。網(wǎng)站上有練習(xí)試卷可以查看。重要建議：練習(xí)的時候要注意把控時間。準備面試也可以好好讀一讀你的PS，過一過上學(xué)時學(xué)過的那些課題。

Q：最近幾年申請人數(shù)有上升趨勢，那會不會提高各方面的成績要求?劍橋?qū)χ袊鴮W(xué)生有沒有刻意控制錄取比例?

A：We don’t have any quotas for international students or students from any particular countries –except in Medicine where the government restricts how many international students we can take. We are looking for the best and brightest students regardless of background or nationality. Our entry requirements are already very high so we aren’t planning on increasing them any time soon. Many students that we give an offer to do actually exceed their offer however so there are a lot of high performing students out there! Our acceptance rate is actually about 20% which is far higher than that of Harvard for example, which is 5%.

劍橋沒有國際生招生配額或者特定國家招生配額-除了醫(yī)學(xué)，政府限制了醫(yī)學(xué)專業(yè)能招多少國際生。我們尋找的是最優(yōu)秀和最聰明的學(xué)生，不論背景和國籍。劍橋的入學(xué)要求已經(jīng)很高了，目前我們并沒有打算要再提高條件。很多學(xué)生實際成績超過offer，然而也有很多高分學(xué)生與劍橋無緣。劍橋?qū)嶋H錄取率大約20%左右，遠超哈佛的5%。

留學(xué)規(guī)劃和留學(xué)申請是一項復(fù)雜的長期工程，不能片面聽取網(wǎng)友的交流，更不能輕信留學(xué)中介的說辭。留學(xué)監(jiān)理網(wǎng)由有20多年國際教育行業(yè)管理和服務(wù)經(jīng)驗的前教育部官員胡本未老師創(chuàng)立，得到新華社和央視網(wǎng)的高度評價。留學(xué)監(jiān)理網(wǎng)免費為學(xué)生提供留學(xué)咨詢規(guī)劃建議、推薦靠譜的留學(xué)機構(gòu)、審核留學(xué)方案和中介服務(wù)協(xié)議，受學(xué)生委托提供監(jiān)理服務(wù)、督辦留學(xué)中介的服務(wù)過程并“先行賠付”。

任何關(guān)于英國留學(xué)問題，比如去英國哪個學(xué)校留學(xué)好?留學(xué)讀什么好就業(yè)?哪個留學(xué)中介好?等等問題，大家都可以在線咨詢或持續(xù)訪問該欄目的其它相關(guān)文章。
