再過一個多月，暑假就到了。對於很多同學，暑期是一個難得的提高自己的“充電”時間。 對於馬上要進入高中九年級的學生，這個暑期是進行大學規劃的黃金時間。大學錄取考察的是高中整個階段的學習和表現，所以該如何計劃高中階段的學習、課外活動以及考試等等，在這個暑假要認真考慮和安排。例如，許多同學想進伯克利或斯坦福，殊不知這些學校都有一些特別要求，如果不能及早瞭解，到了10、11年級，恐怕為時已晚。 對於進入10年級的學生，這個暑假可以安排一些大學的暑期課程或參加一些課外活動，社區服務等，也可安排準備下學年的課程，或準備SAT考試。如果你現在還沒有考慮大學升學的事情，那麼你得坐下來想想你要上什麽大學，算算你還有多少時間就要申請了，自己離理想的大學目標還有多遠… 對於進入11年級的學生，參加加大或其它大學舉辦的自己感興趣的暑期課程，并準備PSAT/SAT考試，預習下學年的課程，都是非常重要的。 對於進入畢業班的學生，著手大學申請是第一要務。如果你的SAT成績不理想，那麼這是最後一個衝刺階段。 以上只是一些粗線條，暑期該如何度過更有意義？家長應該與學生坐下來好好討論一下，同時可以參考同學和學校輔導員的建議，或是到大學升學機構做一個諮詢。
