In our consciousness and life experience is very difficult to understand this idea, but know that young people can take on social responsibility, not afraid of difficult be willing to hard environment to exercise itself is a rare thing, so the support and encouragement of his decision.

        2011Years8Month IThe carTo send his son to HarvardReport, starting from Toronto. WayCorningManhattan, New York, Long Island, stay a little to the historic city of Boston, from a week time2000Km. It is very tiring hard trip, this was not a bit tired feeling, perhaps it is a good mood can drive away the fatigue, refreshing. Remember to send his son to Harvard's feelings, as parents we worry, happy, excited and proud mood in the mix, but these are not appropriate to describe, thought for a long time finally uncovered the true feelings in the heart should be "grateful", grateful to God's love for us, grateful for the education system in North America the children choose destiny opportunity to realize their dreams, of course, more thanks to the generation and the generations dream into reality......

 

       1999Immigration Canada son just in Beijing completed the fifth grade primary school education. Now in retrospect, had a growth in children and youth in transition period the child without transition into a completely unfamiliar environment, the impact of the great is our adult unimaginable. Fortunately, the soil gave him healthy growth, ten years we see his progress in a mature, happy to grow with. From our parents is in the eye of the beholder to record the son came to Harvard process.

 

        In retrospect the son "Harvard dream" long-standing, a few years this dream (say "ideal" may be more in line with Chinese thinking is easy to be approved) from hazy gradually become clear, finally become a reality.2006Years of son18Years, ushered in an important moment in his book life----In the university. In a comparison of several university admission (intentionOffer)(Note: the North American university admissions process and domestic is slightly different, allows candidates to apply for more schools or in the same school more professional, candidates may receive multiple school admission of intent, the examinee in the comparison of allOfferBefore deciding to accept the school, and give a reply before the deadline. Therefore, not to all university Chinese also issued admission notice, this admission time lasts several months), finally decided to enroll in OntarioKingstonQueen's University Business School (Queen 's Commerce)The undergraduate professional, this come out in front in Canada similar professional, by North American industry.

 

        The university decided to back the son once and we had a conversation he said18So far in school can be said that the successful, will now begin to consider the university after graduation. Then he began to talk USA Ivy League school, talk about American University rankings, speech from time to time showing on Harvard, Yale of these schools longing and yearning. Maybe it was from then on, bud of a "Harvard dream" has struck root in the hearts of young men. Bachelor's degree during the son has been in the global four big one of PWC(Pricewaterhouse Coopers)In practice a holiday, this period of internship experience so he began to seriously consider what is suitable for their own occupation. North American education children have a common characteristic, they have to think independently of their choice decided the direction of future, but never according to their parents' preferences and forced to walk be arranged road. Son is the same, he felt that the business after graduation engaged in that occupation is not very suitable for themselves, therefore decided to continue to pursue America law school in four years. Once selected the direction he began to plan time to prepareLSATExamination, we also follow together came to know America system of law education, law school admission requirements, know USA law school rankings (Top14)We don't know is, the only son in goal at harvard.

 

        2008Years6Month5Day son attendedLSAT(Law School Admission Test)Examination, achievement170Divided. Then he in the Beijing Olympic Games Organizing Committee made two months volunteers, in September of that year enrollment at Peking University Guanghua School of Management to do a one-year exchange student.2009Back to Toronto after the summer, has come to law school start time of application. When the application materials sent to the school in the preparation and the son, and he made a decision to go beyond all expectations, aLSATExamination.

 

        Here it is necessary to introduceLSATExamination.LSATIs American law school admission test, exam covers reading, logic, judgment and writing a total of four aspects100~103Questions. In order to eliminate the every exam in varying degrees of difficulty may be caused by differences in the performance. Examination managementLSAC (Law School Admission Council)The grade standard statistical methods for equivalent conversion, the points120~180Divided between. From theLSACA transcript of the candidates not only know their actual score can also learn in the percentage of position of the exam. For example, son06Years of170At points in the exam98.5%Above.

 

        In theory,LSAT170Divided intoTop14All the law school admissions, but can be admitted to Harvard, Yale, Standford chance these top law school is not high, the son decided to take the exam againLSATIs to improve his grades competitiveness. For the examination of family and friends are not very optimistic, even write a letter of recommendation for his two professors are not encouraged, to him carefully analyses the advantages and risks of. UnderstandingLSATThe exam can understand them,170Is in a relatively awkward position, from this fraction to improve again has not carefully prepared to do more exercises can be achieved. The so-called "days", "stop", "and" should be indispensable, that is to say the examinee examination the mental state, health and the environment all the details are crucial factors influencing the emergence, which a link point problems are likely to affect the game play. So with this fraction to test is taking a big risk, if possible even170Scores are not. Because some schools in the admission is the computation of multipleLSATThe average test. Although hardly get what support and encouragement, but all negative analysis to had not changed his mind, he eventually bravely out of mind to participate in the2009Years12Monthly exam.

 

        In preparation forLSATDuring the exam also appeared a strong enough to shake his determination to temptation: the application materials sent soon had received the admission of intent to Columbia University(offer of Early Decision). The early admission intention than formal offer a much earlier, is a school students in selected priority. If the applicant accepts theOfferIt is not allowed to consider and choose other schools. Columbia University is USA Ivy8One of the League school, has a long history, rigorous scholarship, in American is come first on the list of the school, the law school has been ranked the top five, one can imagine the value of early admission to the Columbia University intention and temptation. Whether or not to accept theOfferThe son is after the ideological struggle, we also carefully discussed the matter, but the words from the speech of the son of can feel he is not ready to stop, give up their own mind the goals and dreams, we understand that he wants most should be the parents to approve his own choice. Although there are some "very reluctantly what it treasures", we still support him to realize their "dream" to try, finally give up the big brother"Early decision", scheduled for the09Years12MonthLSATExamination.

 

        The last son is toLSATResults174Divided, undergraduate studiesGPA4.0Was admitted to Harvard Law School. Should acknowledge the achievement was admitted to Harvard to hard targets, but the only standard score is definitely not the selection of students of Harvard University. In about one month before the formal admission, Harvard Law School to arrange a telephone interview, talk time40Minutes. In accordance with the son described afterwards, Harvard interview without preparation is also unable to prepare, the interviewer will not in accordance with the ideas of your questions, all your thought and preparation of basic didn't ask questions. For example, to son interview asked "do you first testLSATGot170To test the second time points, why?" Question, topic subsequent non-stop conversion, he said about ten minutes before they find the rhythm feeling fully liberalized. According to his interview experience, I think the examiner in the comprehensive quality, talking on the phone all of things and the ability to analyze and judge, in short, is to understand and grasp the more the application materials do not reflect the situation. Only reading exam children might not this, because indeed heard of or met the good but can't be enrolled students.

 

        Admitted to Harvard, young people to achieve a "dream"; to get into Harvard this has a long history, culture eight USA president, near40A Nobel prize winner of knowledge and learning, believe that young people must have a new "dream",...... . Keep Dreaming ......
