Application Evaluation
Evaluation of our applicants consists of many things, but four key and common factors are:
申请材料的审核
我校对于申请材料的审核包含诸多因素，但是其中最重要的有以下四点：
Curriculum
课程
We do not have a required high school (or college) curriculum, but we do make recommendations. We expect freshman applicants have engaged in a rigorous curriculum and chosen from among the most demanding courses available in secondary school. It is not necessary to have loaded your schedule with every advanced course offered; but if such courses are available to you, we expect 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.
我们对于申请人所学的高中或大学课程没有具体要求，但确有一些建议。我们希望申请大一本科的学生已经学过了一些要求严格并难度较大的课程。虽然你不必把所有的高端课程都选遍，但如果可能，还是希望你尽量多选。申请我校大学本科的最优秀的学生往往学习了四年英语（9-12年级），四年数学（包括微积分）， 四年社会学，四年科普（包括生物，化学和物理）以及四年第二外语。
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.
当我们考评一个申请人的选课时，当然也有灵活性。例如，一个很有竞争力的申请人虽然只学了三年第二外语（9-11年级），却在四年内学了五门数学课程。反之，一个有竞争力的申请人也许在四年内学了两门外语而只有三年学习了社会学。
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.
尽管我校的绝大部分申请人都在官方认可的中学（或大学）读书，那些在未经官方认可的学校上学或者有其它特殊情况的学生将得到同等的考虑。
Teacher/Instructor Evaluations
教师评估
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.
当我们阅读这两份必须的评估时，我们希望发现有关你才智生命力的具体证据。因此，我们希望读到最了解你学术水平的教师的评估。大学本科申请人的推荐信应该由在11或12年级的重点课程（英语，数学，外语，社会学或科学）中教过你的教师来写。当然，我们也会在特殊情况下接受早期教过你的老师的评估。
Essays
文书
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.
我们阅读文书的目的是充分地了解你的个性，你的兴趣，思想和动力。最好的文书是真实自然，充分体现一个学生自我独特之处的。鉴于我们想认识真实的你，切忌把自己包装成你认为斯坦福想要的学生。你这样做只会使我们对你的特点及成就的了解变得模糊不清。
Extracurricular Activities
课外活动
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.
我们需要了解你的课外活动及学术外的兴趣来发现你是否会对斯坦福的社群有所贡献。学生们经常误认为我们最看重的是一个申请人从事过多少课外活动。事实上，质量胜过数量。对于一两项活动特别长期地投入比对于五六项活动泛泛地参加更能表现你的热情和兴趣。我们想看到你对于你所加入的社团，学校，甚至更大的社区的影响，贡献，以及此种经历对你本人的影响。
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.
在某些情况下，特殊的体育才能会影响我们的录取决定，但前提是申请人在其它方面也完全合格。但这方面的才能本身并不能保证你就会被斯坦福录取。
