去大學官網上找,基本上都有“Admission”這一欄,就是點進去瀏覽網頁。然后可以找到大量的信息。比如進入加拿大多倫多大學的招生招生主頁,就可以看到如下要求::Admission requirements vary between specific colleges and programs. In most cases a high school diploma is required. However, colleges may have program-specific requirements. It is prudent to enquire directly with the college regarding program specific admission requirements.http://www.utm.utoronto.ca/future-students/parents-counsellors/the-admissions-process#college所以建議學生去自己心儀的大學找自己心儀的專業,看自己未來需要在學業和課外活動方面準備哪些材料。在瀏覽學校網頁的過程中,你能找到許多實用的信息,比如:
例如,斯坦福大學對學生課程的總體要求是:Recommended High School CurriculumWe respect the responsibility that high schools, principals and teachers should have in the development of courses and curricula for their students. For that reason, we do not have a set of required courses for admission to Stanford. We have found, though, that a curriculum emphasizing depth and breadth across the core academic subjects is the best preparation for the academic rigors at Stanford. Our experience has suggested that students who excel in a curriculum like the one below are well-suited for the demands of college academics:
English:four years, with significant emphasis on writing and literature.
Mathematics:four years, with significant emphasis on fundamental mathematical skills (algebra; trigonometry; plane, solid, and analytic geometry).
History/Social Studies:three or more years. Such courses should include the writing of essays.
Science:three or more years of laboratory science (including biology, chemistry and physics).
Foreign Language:three or more years of the same foreign language. Your study of a foreign language ought to include the development of four basic skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening comprehension.
We expect applicants to pursue a reasonably challenging curriculum, choosing courses from among the most demanding courses available at your school. We ask you to exercise good judgment and to consult with your counselor, teachers and parents as you construct a curriculum that is right for you. Our hope is that your curriculum will inspire you to develop your intellectual passions, not suffer from unnecessary stress. The students who thrive at Stanford are those who are genuinely excited about learning, not necessarily those who take every single AP or IB, Honors or Accelerated class just because it has that designation.https://admission.stanford.edu/apply/selection/prepare.html
