近年来,参加SSAT考试和TOEFL考试的初中生人数直线上升,SSAT考场也由两个增加为六个。由此可见,选择到美国读私立中学已经成为继赴美国读本科之后中学生赴美留学的又一个新趋势。然而,美国私立中学与美国本科申请相比存在巨大的差异,不论是校方对申请者的选择条件、考查因素还是录取形式都不尽相同。 In recent years, the number of junior high school students taking the SSAT and TOEFL examinations has risen linearly, and the number of SSAT examinations has increased from two to six. This shows that the choice of private secondary schools in the United States has become a new trend of secondary school students studying in the United States after they went to the United States for further studies. However, there is a huge difference between private secondary schools in the United States and those in the United States. Whether it is the selection of applicants, the examining factors or the form of admission, the private secondary schools in the United States have different forms of admission.
