哈佛大學錄取新生，有你不知道的神操作

世界院校哈佛大學一直口碑頗佳，也是各類招生排行榜上名列前茅的選擇。然而最近，哈佛大學卻在招生問題上爆出了大新聞。據(jù)《紐約時報》報道，哈佛大學2014-2019屆的學生中，每年大約有50到60名學生通過“Z名單”被錄取，只是這些學生須推遲一年時間入學。>>>更多相關信息請咨詢新通留學專家。

Among Harvard students in the classes of 2014 to 2019, about 50 to 60 students each year were admitted off the "Z-list," according to a report by Anemona Hartocollis, Amy Harmon, and Mitch Smith at the The New York Times. Students who are "Z-ed" must defer their enrollment for one year.

在一份針對哈佛大學招生的訴訟中，原告方面認為，這些通過Z名單錄取的學生，都是哈佛校友的子女，其他人走不了這樣的后門。

But plaintiffs in a lawsuit against Harvard say many of these students are legacies, meaning their parents attended Harvard, and might not otherwise make the cut.

《商業(yè)內(nèi)幕》雜志網(wǎng)站：訴訟揭露哈佛Z名單，有些人涉嫌幫助分數(shù)不足的VIP子女入學

每年約有4萬人申請入讀哈佛，大概2000人收到入學通知，但只有1600人能夠順利成為新生。

About 40,000 students apply each year, and about 2,000 are admitted for some 1,600 seats in the freshman class.

據(jù)《商業(yè)內(nèi)幕》統(tǒng)計，哈佛是美國最難進入的大學，錄取率約為5%。

Harvard is America's hardest college to get into, with an acceptance rate of about 5%.

一般來說，2-3名招生官會從學術、課外、體育、個性和綜合等五個方面，對申請者做出考評。同時，他們也會評估教師或者輔導員的推薦。但校方也會對少數(shù)族裔、校友子女、捐助者親屬、教職員工子女甚至學校招募的運動員，提供一些“小獎勵”。

Generally two or three admissions officers, or readers, rate applications in five categories: academic, extracurricular, athletic, personal and “overall.” They also rate teachers’ and guidance counselors’ recommendations. Harvard says it also considers “tips,” or admissions advantages, for some applicants. The plaintiffs say the college gives tips to five groups: racial and ethnic minorities; legacies, or the children of Harvard or Radcliffe alumni; relatives of a Harvard donor; the children of staff or faculty members; and recruited athletes.

早在2002年，由哈佛學生獨立運營的報紙《Harvard Crimson》就報道過有關Z名單的相關事項。報道指出，他們收集了2001-2002年間Z名單上80人中36人的信息。在這36人中，有26位(72%)為校友子女。而校友子女比率在整個哈佛中僅為12%-14%。

The Harvard Crimson, an independent student-run paper, reported on the Z-list in 2002. The publication said it gathered information about 36 of the roughly 80 Z-list students at Harvard from 2001 to 2002 and found that 26 of them, or 72%, were legacies, compared with 12-14% of the entire class.

該報在2010年的一篇文章中則指出，接受采訪的28名Z名單學生中，有18人的父母曾在哈佛就讀。此外，24人沒有得到學校的經(jīng)濟援助。而據(jù)該報報道，全體哈佛學生中受資助的比例達到70%。

Another Crimson article about the Z-list, published in 2010, said that 18 of 28 Z-listers interviewed had parents who attended Harvard and that 24 received no financial aid from the college. The Crimson reported that about 70% of Harvard's student body received financial aid.

不過，哈佛方面并不這么認為。哈佛招生處負責人William R. Fitzsimmons表示，“Z名單”并不是用來招收校友子女的。Z名單中校友子女占比高是因為，這些學生更情愿接受該名單的特殊入學政策。而且Z名單上的學生也并不比正常入學的學生差。

Harvard's admissions staff has said the Z-list is not a way to admit legacy students. The 2010 Crimson article described William R. Fitzsimmons, the dean of admissions and financial aid, as saying the Z-list has a disproportionate number of legacy students to the class a whole because they might be more inclined to accept their spot on the list. Fitzsimmons told The Crimson in 2010 that the students on the Z-list weren't of a lower caliber than other admitted students.
