How important are my senior year courses and grades in the admission process?
我大学第四年选修的课程和分数在申请过程中有多重要？
Your senior year is not only a full one-quarter of your high school career, but it often includes some of the most substantial college preparatory coursework. So, from our standpoint, your senior year curriculum and performance are important indicators of your potential as a Brown student. Students who take a lighter course load or who show signs of underperforming academically are often passed over in favor of applicants who (at least) maintain the rigor of their program and their best academic work. (Even admitted students should take care not to catch ?senioritis. We review all the grades for both Early Decision and Regular Decision admitted students to make sure they are not demonstrating a level of decline that might cause us to have second thoughts about our decision!)
答：你大学第四年所修的课程不光包括高中的一部分课程，而且还有一大部分大学预科课程。对于招生申请而言，我们很看重你大四的成绩，以衡量你在布朗的学习能力。对于选修轻松课程或者学习成绩不如意的学生，我们看重的是你持之以恒的精神和尽最大努力的恒心。我们会综合衡量你的成绩 对于你在早申请和正常申请期间的录取，但愿不要因为你成绩的逐渐退步而让我们失望。
How important are the alumni interviews?
校友的面试有多重要？
There are many dimensions to an application to Brown, and the conversation with a graduate of the University is just one. Our alumni write to us about the strengths they see in candidates based on that relatively brief encounter. Rarely will an interview be the determining factor in an application, but we suggest that you view it as an opportunity to learn more about Brown and to further convey your best qualities as a student and person.
答：布朗大学综合考虑一个学生的申请背景，而与校友交谈只是一方面。我们的校友经常写来鉴于他们短暂交流的关于申请人优势的推荐信，但是校友的面试很少能成为我们录取的决定性因素。我们希望你能利用校友面试的机会更好地了解布朗大学和表现自己。
Are interviews with admission officers offered on campus or in my area?
面试是必须在布朗大校园内还是可以在我的学校举行？
Given the large number of candidates and our small staff, we are not able to conduct individual interviews on campus or elsewhere. We try to save as much time as possible, though, to answer questions from visitors and callers, and to provide group information sessions and tours to students and their families who come to the campus.
答：鉴于众多学生和相对较少的教务人员，我们无法在校内外进行面试。但是我们已经尽力提高效率，尽可能地回答参观人员的问题和提供小组讨论以及参观校园的机会，并提供学生及家长参观校园的机会。
Does Brown favor Advanced Placement courses over International Baccalaureate courses or vice versa?
布朗是更喜欢AP课程的学生还是IB的学生呢？
No. There is a wide range of curricular programs represented among the more than 5,000 high schools from which our candidates apply. While we are happy to see our applicants take whatever challenging courses are available to them, we do not have a preference for one curricular model over another. When such courses are available, though, our most promising applicants will probably have taken advantage of them.
答：无定论。我们的申请人囊括了5000多所高中的课程。我们很高兴看到这些学生有如此广泛的兴趣，对于他们的个人爱好本身我们完全没有偏好。
Does Brown take into account the level of competition at different high schools?
布朗会不会考虑不同学校之间竞争程度的不同？
Yes. Communities vary widely in what they can provide in their high schools, but there are excellent, highly motivated students in every community, and we encourage them to apply.
答：是的. 社区及其提供的教育差别往往很大，但我们往往看到来自社区学校的聪明，优秀，自觉自主的学生，而这正是我们喜欢的.
Does Brown ?rank high schools?
布朗给高中排名吗？
No. We consider the characteristics of the high school from which our candidates apply, especially the level of academic offerings and rigor, but we concentrate on how well students have used the resources available to them. We do not start with the assumption that students from a certain school are better candidates than those from another school.
答：不。尽管我们很慎重地考虑任何一个申请人的背景和学术潜力，我们依然考虑学生们在条件有限的情况下如何利用了可利用的资源。我们不抱任何偏见，不认为任何名校学生必定比任何其它学校的学生要强。
