【升學規劃系列1-4】CommonApp 要開啟囉！ 你，準備好著寫撰寫最重要的 #Essay 了嗎？

The Common Application has announced that the 2016-2017 personal statement essay prompts will be the same as the 2015-2016 prompts. By conducting a review process every other year, rather than annually, we can hear from admissions officers, as well as students, parents, and counselors, about the effectiveness of the essay prompts. 

These prompts are designed to elicit information that will strengthen the other components of the application. "We want to make sure that every applicant can find a home within the essay prompts, and that they can use the prompts as a starting point to write an essay that is authentic and distinguishing," said Scott Anderson, former school counselor and current Senior Director for Programs and Partnerships for The Common Application.  

Among the more than 800,000 unique applicants who have submitted a Common App so far during the 2015-2016 application cycle, 47 percent have chosen to write about their background, identity, interest, or talent - making it the most frequently selected prompt; 22 percent have chosen to write about an accomplishment, 17 percent about a lesson or failure, 10 percent about a problem solved, and four percent about an idea challenged.  

With the release of the essay prompts and the announcement that student accounts created now will roll over to 2016-2017, counselors can introduce their juniors to the Common App now, or whenever they are ready. 

2016-2017 Essay Prompts 
1. Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.

 2. The lessons we take from failure can be fundamental to later success. Recount an incident or time when you experienced failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?

3. Reflect on a time when you challenged a belief or idea. What prompted you to act? Would you make the same decision again?

4. Describe a problem you've solved or a problem you'd like to solve. It can be an intellectual challenge, a research query, an ethical dilemma - anything that is of personal importance, no matter the scale. Explain its significance to you and what steps you took or could be taken to identify a solution.

5. Discuss an accomplishment or event, formal or informal, that marked your transition from childhood to adulthood within your culture, community, or family.

【校園生活點滴系列1-4】歡迎你參加我們的有氧課程，一起舞動汗水吧！

體育與課業並重一直以來為學校的教育理念，如何輔助讓學生在學習上再獲得最佳效果無非就是著重學生平日的體能訓練，每學期體育課也納入娛樂性、多元化等多方面的課程考量依據，此學期除了原有深受學生喜愛的籃球課、體適能、瑜珈課外，另開設有氧課程與足球課增加學生對體育活動的新鮮感與需求。

有氧課程：除了助於增加耐力體能外，看到女孩們別於瑜珈的柔和展現出力與美的一面，活力的舞動連老師們都想加入一起揮灑汗水了！

執行長常常強調學生在學生活除了要吃得好、睡得好再加上好的體能訓練必定有健全的身心健康面對學習的挑戰與壓力！

#UEUSA社團就是這麼有趣！ #一起來舞動年輕的汗水吧！

【校園生活點滴系列1-3】邁向全美百大學院迎新會活動，夜襲進擊中！

這一群同學排隊到底做什麼呢？讓我們一起看下去！

2016 Fall 校園迎新活動
為了歡迎眾多剛報到的新生，
也為協助他們更快融入新環境，
以及舊生同學們更快認識新面孔。
學校和學生會特別策劃了最消暑的迎新活動--水球大戰!

活動初始，
學生會們先是設計了不同的關卡在各教室，
讓新舊生們藉由闖關活動互相熟稔，
在互動及分組合作中更熟悉彼此~

最後天台上的水球大戰更是打破師生，
以及新舊生之間原有一點的陌生藩籬，
大家不計形象不管全身溼透的high翻天，完全零距離!!!

度過了一個清涼而歡樂的夜晚~
讓我們再次歡迎所有的新生，
與期待他們在外語部能擁有更多更美好的回憶~

【升學規劃系列1-1】前往美國百大升學首重目標及規劃！

今日教務針對Level 3 (9年級與10年級)學生進行升學規劃說明，Sherry老師向同學強調
1.目標訂立的重要性，並一一針對個別學生所需特別叮嚀
2. 加強學生對未來升學條件的認知，也讓學生清楚理解申請時間與程序，同時鄭重強調在座學生時間的有限性與重要性，我們將會不斷提醒學生各環節對往後升學的重要，增強學生對未來的危機意識。

雖然本班學生距離申請大學還有兩三年的時間,但是Sherry老師強調學生千萬不要以為自己的時間還很充裕,務必要及早開始準備GPA已開始納入申請計算,以及活動參與和擔任社團幹部培訓的重要性!之後也會再邀請家長們到校參與升學座談與個別學生規劃面談!
