美国留学美国CACA申请系统CA变革
和Google云盘整合
美国CA申请系统这一变化模仿的是CAAS申请系统的Locker功能。和Google云盘整合,学生将能上传文件、简历、作业以及拥有申请的补充资料等。而且,在申请的时候,学生可直接调用存在谷歌云盘上的申请材料。美国很多高中学校都采用Google文档和Google云盘,学生和教师能够在有网络的情况下创建和访问共享文档。这大大方面了美国高中老师和学生之间的协作。功能虽好,但国内还需要翻墙才能使用。
Google Drive Integration:Students will now be able to easily access and upload documents, resumes, and school assignments while completing the Common App and the college-specific sections of the application. We know that many school districts have adopted Google Docs and Google Drive to enable their students and teachers to create, collaborate, and access shared documents from any internet connected device. We also recognize that some students do not always have personal computers at home but use Google Drive on school or library computers to store their documents. We want to meet students where they are. By using the systems that they are already using, we are making the process more accessible for students.
学生可邀请校外求学顾问辅导
这是今年美国CA申请系统的一个重大变化,依然是基于CAAS联盟申请系统功能模仿的。之前学生可以邀请在校求学顾问参与申请过程,而2017-2018年开始,通过美国CA系统递交申请的学生,还可以邀请校外资源,比如校外的申请顾问、独立咨询顾问及社区组织(community-based organizations)辅导自己的申请。
CBO, Advising, and Recommender Enhancements: Students receiving support from advising and community-based organizations will be able to work with those counselors just as they work with their school-based counselors and teachers within the application. These individuals will then be able to manage their caseloads and view student progress within the Common App system. In addition, any student who wishes to do so will be able to share a view of their in-progress application with their school counselor, CBO counselor, or other advisor.
Courses & Grades
一些大学要求学生在申请过程中自行填写课程和成绩分数。美国CA申请系统新增Courses & Grades功能,意在将成绩递交流程精简、标准化。通过Courses & Grades,申请人自己可以填写高中课程和高中成绩,而填好之后,CA申请系统会进行整合,从而方便了学生、顾问和学校这三方。这一功能目前还在测试中,将在2017年8月1日后正式启用。
Courses & Grades: Many students are required to submit self-reported high school academic records when applying to some colleges and universities. With Courses & Grades, students will be able to fill out their self-reported tran information as part of their Common Application. By integrating the Courses & Grades section into the Common App, those students who are already sending this information will be able to complete and submit it with their Common App, making the process of self-reporting trans more standardized and streamlined for students, counselors, and colleges.
Courses & Grades was developed from the feedback of member institutions, high school students, and counselors. The Common Application hosted a series of student and counselor focus groups with beta testing to determine how to make the self-reported tran process accessible and efficient. Courses & Grades will launch in limited release on August 1, 2017.
西班牙语版
为了方便第一语言是西班牙语的学生申请,美国CA申请系统的主要信息会被翻译成西班牙语,家长和其他家庭成员可以更好地了解大学录取过程。
Spanish Language Resources: Key information for using the Common App will be translated so that students, parents, and other family members who speak Spanish as their first language can better understand the college admission process, including applying for financial aid and receiving virtual mentoring. This new tool will also benefit counselors who will be working with these families and will need Common App materials in Spanish.
另外,美国CA申请系统又加入了一些新成员校,目前总共有740所高校使用该申请系统。
