斯坦福大学是国际知名大学，有着一流的师资水平和办学质量。每一年斯坦福大学都招收了很多世界各地的优秀学生，那么斯坦福大学是如何审核和评估这些学生的呢?下面和留学网一起来看看吧。
Application Evaluation
Our overall application review is holistic, focusing on academic excellence, intellectual vitality and personal context. In addition, we will consider your curriculum, teacher evaluations, essays and extracurricular activities.
斯坦福大学的入学申请审核：
斯坦福大学的综合申请审核是相当全面的，主要强调优秀学术表现、思维活跃性和个人层面能力。除此之外，斯坦福大学还会考虑你的全部课程、教师评价、自我陈述以及课外活动。
Curriculum
We do not have a required high school (or college) curriculum, but we do make recommendations. We expect freshman applicants to have engaged in a rigorous curriculum and chosen from among the most demanding courses available in their secondary school. It is not necessary to take every advanced course offered; but if such courses are available to you, we expect that you have taken advantage of many of them. Our most competitive freshman applicants often have four years (grades 9-12) of English, four years of math (including calculus), four years of social studies, four years of science (including biology, chemistry and physics) and four years of a foreign language.
There is flexibility, however, in how we view an applicant's curriculum. For example, an applicant may be competitive with just three years of a foreign language through 11th grade but also with five math courses taken in the last four years. Conversely, an applicant may be competitive taking two languages all four years and just three years of social studies.
While most of our applicants have enrolled in an accredited secondary school program (or college), students from schools that may not have undergone the accreditation process as of yet, as well as those with exceptional circumstances are given equal consideration.
学习课程：
斯坦福大学对于申请者没有必须的高中(或者大学)课程学习要求，但是会建议学生涉及相关学习。斯坦福大学希望大学新生申请者投身于严格的课程学习之中，从有最高要求的中学课程中做出选择。虽然不要求学生参加所提供的每一堂高级课程，但是如果有提供这样的课程的话，斯坦福大学还是希望你能够参与其学习。斯坦福大学大部分极具竞争力的大学新生申请者通常有四年(9年级到12年级)的英语学习、四年的数学(包括微积分)学习、四年的社会研究学习、四年的科学(包括生物、化学以及物理)学习以及四年的外语语言学习。
但是，斯坦福大学对于学生学习课程的审核还是比较灵活的。例如，拥有3年(直到11年级)的外语语言学习，以及在最后四年中参加5门数学课程的申请者也是比较有竞争力的。相反的，整个四年时间参加2门语言课程以及三年的社会研究课程学习的申请者也可能是很有竞争力的。
虽然斯坦福大学的申请者已经登记了公认的中学学校(大学)课程学习。但是来自没有经过认可程序的学校的学生，以及有例外条件的学生都会获得同等的审核标准。
Teacher/Instructor Evaluations
As we read the two required evaluations, we hope to discover specific evidence of your intellectual vitality. For this reason, we want to hear from those teachers/instructors who know the most about your performance in an academic setting. The evaluations for freshman applicants should be from teachers who taught you in the 11th or 12th grades in one of the core academic subjects (English, math, foreign language, social studies or science)though we will certainly accept evaluations from earlier grades in unusual circumstances.
教师/指导老师评估：
在斯坦福大学阅读所要求的两份评估报告的时候，通常希望能够发现有关你思维活跃性的具体证明。也出于这个原因，斯坦福大学想要从某一学术机构对你的表现最为了解的教师/指导老师那里更好的了解你。大学新生申请者的评估应该是从11年级或者12年级的核心学术科目(英语、数学、外语、社会研究或者科学)老师那里获得虽然在一些特殊情况下，斯坦福大学也接收来自更早年级之前的老师的评估报告。
Essays
We read essays to get to know you as a person and to learn about the ideas and interests that motivate you. The strongest essays are those where the student's genuine voice stands out. Because we want to discover who you are, resist the urge to package yourself in order to come across in a way you think Stanford wants. Such attempts simply blur our understanding of who you are and what you can accomplish.
个人陈述：
斯坦福大学通过个人陈述来了解你个人，发现激发你的观念和兴趣。一份优秀的个人陈述是学生真正声音的表达。因为斯坦福大学想要了解真正的你，所以一定要避免按照你认为的斯坦福大学想要的形式来包装自己。这样的陈述信息往往会模糊我们对你本人以及能力的认识。
Extracurricular Activities
Learning about your extracurricular activities and nonacademic interests helps us to discover your potential contributions to the Stanford community. Students often assume our primary concern is the number of activities in which one participates. In fact, an exceptional depth of experience in one or two activities may demonstrate your passion more than minimal participation in five or six clubs. We want to see the impact you have had on that club, in your school, or in the larger community, and we want to learn of the impact that experience has had on you.
In some cases, exceptional abilities in athletics may influence our decision if the applicant is otherwise well qualified, but such abilities never, by themselves, ensure admission to Stanford.
课外活动：
了解你的课外活动以及非学术兴趣可以帮助斯坦福大学发现你对于斯坦福大学社区的潜在贡献。学生通常假定斯坦福大学的主要关注点在于一个人参加的活动数量，实际上，在一个或者两个活动中的尤其深入的经验，比起至少参加了五六个活动更加能够证明你的热情。斯坦福大学想要看见的是你对于所属活动群体的影响，例如一个俱乐部、一个学校、或者是一个更大的社区，以及这些活动经验对你产生的影响。
在某些情况下，如果申请者本身符合入学资格的话，那么在运动方面的额外能力可以影响斯坦福大学的招生录取决定。但是只凭该能力本身(例如运动能力)是不能够保证获得斯坦福大学的录取资格的。
