Acceptance rate
s at the top colleges were lower than ever this year. No surprise just more stress from stories of top students getting rejection letters even from less competitive schools.
重点高校的录取比例是近年来最低的。所以当听到很多好学生受到一些竞争力并不很强的学校的决绝信时,不必惊讶。
Numbers tell the story. The Education Department predicts that the number of high school graduates in the united States will reach the highest level ever this year. 3330000 students are expected to graduate.

But not only are their(there) more college applications(applicants) these days, they are also applying to more colleges. On line and common applications make the process easier. It can mean several acceptance to choose from. It also means more work for colleges to get the students they accept to accept them.
但不仅是更多的入学申请者,同时还有更多学校。在线和公共申请让流程变得简单些。这意味着学校可以从一些申请者中挑选,也意味着学校需要做更多的工作,让学生选择自己的学校。
Many colleges and Universities hold visiting days that offer a chance to attain(attend) classes and stay overnight, sort of test drive. Some school send gifts. At least one college has its international students write letters in the Native languages of accepted applications(applicants).
很多学员和大学举办访问日,提供机会给学生参与听课以及在学校过夜,类似的体验过程。有些学校送礼物。还有不止一所的学校让留学生用自己的母语写申请信。
