Congratulations to our Class of 2021! Students who graduated from BCIS in June have been offered and have accepted offers from universities all around the world. How was each student able to find the university that provided them with the perfect fit? Charles Grant, University Guidance Counselor here at BCIS Secondary School, discussed answers to this and other questions about the process students took to reach their dream schools.
立秋之际，收到了心仪的大学录取通知书的北京乐成国际学校（BCIS）2021届毕业生，陆续开始准备飞往世界各地、或开始办理入学注册手续，崭新的大学生活即将开启。
Charles Grant is originally from Jamaica and has been an educator for thirteen years. He has experience as a Guidance Counselor, a health teacher in Venezuela, and most recently a University and Career Guidance Counselor at an American school. Charles holds a College Counseling Certificate from the University of California Los Angeles, a master’s degree in Education from Framingham State University, and a bachelor’s degree in Guidance and Counseling from Northern Caribbean University.
在大学申请过程中，以“帮助学生选择最适合自己的大学和专业”为目标的BCIS大学升学指导团队给予了学生诸多支持。Charles是BCIS的大学升学指导顾问，有着13年的教育行业工作经验。他拥有加州大学洛杉矶分校的高校心理咨询证书，同时获得了弗雷明翰州立大学教育硕士学位及北加勒比大学指导和咨询学士学位。Charles老师分享了2021届毕业生从BCIS社区走向世界的历程。
Where our graduates go
成就与骄傲
BCIS graduates are admitted to a myriad of top universities all over the world. Most of our graduates find universities in the United States that best fit their interests and passions, but graduates from the Class of 2021 have also accepted offers from universities in the UK, Canada, Europe, Australia, and here in China.
Charles曾指导过的高中毕业生的足迹遍布世界各地。他的大多数学生都去了美国的高校，除此之外，还有英国、加拿大、澳大利亚、中国、法国、爱尔兰、日本、荷兰、韩国、西班牙、瑞士等国。Charles老师办公室的墙面上挂着哈佛、斯坦福、哥伦比亚等世界一流高等学府的纪念旗帜，进入这些学校的学生姓名都记录在这些旗帜背后，讲述着Charles老师的执教故事。
The application journey
未雨绸缪做准备
Students at BCIS begin their university search in Grade 9. Charles encourages them to begin writing their applications in the second semester of 11th grade, so they have enough time to complete the application. Starting early also means students can first write drafts of their essays, helping them to improve during the year.
Charles老师建议学生9年级伊始就开始为大学申请做准备，在11年级的第二学期开始正式着手申请操作。这样，学生可以早早在心里规划好自己的专业方向和目标院校，并根据院校的申请要求提早准备个人陈述等材料。
Finding the right fit
找到适合的选择
Charles and the team at BCIS provide students with a plethora of tools to help them find the right university. Students at BCIS have access to several cutting-edge platforms to help them find schools that have the programs they want, such as Maia Learning and The Big College Search. Many of these resources have moved online, so while students may not currently be able to visit schools in person, they can attend virtual campus tours from BCIS. Charles makes sure that students research thoroughly to expand the list of universities that they are already familiar with and meets with students regularly to ensure they take a balanced approach when searching for schools.
BCIS的大学升学指导团队致力于帮助每一位学生申请到更为适合自己的大学，在“兴趣、专业方向”与“学校排名”之间找到平衡。在充分了解申请要求之外，老师们还会运用丰富的经验并使用Big Future College和Maia Learning等专业工具帮助学生筛选学校和专业。Charles老师鼓励学生积极参加艺术、体育、社会公益等课外活动；同想要申请的大学在校生进行在线或面对面的交流；在条件允许的情况下提前去拜访心仪的大学，感受那里真实的学术氛围。
Challenges
直面挑战
Although the resources for students at BCIS are extremely useful, the lengthy university application process can still bring challenges. Students often find writing essays and personal statements to be daunting tasks, but Charles personally works with students, using tools like Screencastify to help each student write better essays. He also makes sure that the students start applying early enough, so that they have time to navigate the application process. #BCISchallenge
申请大学的整个过程不免繁琐和冗长，这对于学生的耐心首先便是一个挑战。学术成绩、论文、个人陈述、课外活动证明等申请所需的材料撰写和整理，对于学业繁忙的12年级学生来说，也是一个不小的#BCIS 挑战自我#。
The BCIS advantage
来自社区的力量
BCIS not only prepares students for college through academics, but also focuses on preparing students to be strong leaders who are active in their school community. This provides them with an advantage when applying to universities that value the balanced skills BCIS students have, as well as the students’ compassion for their surrounding communities. This advantage, combined with counselling from Charles, and the many BCIS resources, helps students to find and get accepted to their best-fit universities.
#BCIS 多元社区#为学生提供了在课堂学习之余参与更多实践活动的机会：或发起一个项目召集社区成员参与，或参加社区志愿活动，或基于切身体验为社区的进步出谋划策......其中，经验丰富且值得信任的BCIS大学升学指导团队，是助力学生进入更为优秀的世界大学的重要力量。
Exciting times
走向世界的喜悦
BCIS graduates who get accepted to their universities of choice are ecstatic, but they are not the only ones. Their teachers are also excited to see their former students move on to universities where they will continue to learn and thrive. The Class of 2021 students have received offers from almost 200 universities to date from the USA, UK, Canada, Netherlands, Spain, Australia, and Switzerland. Charles himself gets goosebumps every time he learns another of his students has been accepted into their first-choice university, and the whole BCIS family has reason to celebrate.
接到录取通知书后，学生和老师们都欣喜若狂！更令人兴奋的是，BCIS的很多学生都能收到他们最心仪的大学抛出的橄榄枝。截至目前，BCIS 2021届45名毕业生共收到了来自美国、英国、加拿大、荷兰、西班牙、澳大利亚等地的近200封大学录取通知书。这其中不乏加利福尼亚大学伯克利分校、纽约大学斯特恩商学院、帝国理工学院、华威大学、不列颠哥伦比亚大学、多伦多大学等我们熟悉的世界高等学府。
The BCIS community sends its congratulations to the Class of 2021 for their incredible achievements and growth. The Class of 2021 students have accomplished so much, and they will go on to accomplish even greater goals. #BCIScommunity
再次祝贺所有的BCIS 2021届毕业生，他们所取得的学业成绩、掌握的成长技能、收获的成绩录取，都令#BCIS 多元社区#成员们感到高兴和自豪！
