我兒子現在9年級,擬申請明年9年級,現就讀北京一著名中學實驗班。8月份已考托福95分,還會再考一次,上100分可能性很大。目前正在攻克SSAT,預計2200以上問題不大。性格較為內向,藝術體育項目不是很突出,但會visual art,可以使用Flash, photoshop, illustrator等工具獨立制作藝術作品(比如動畫)。主要特點為喜歡computer programming, 可以獨立使用java等語言編程和制作網頁等。孩子希望大學主修computer science,不知道哪些中學在這方面(computer programming/science)有獨特優勢,并能有機會進入那些computer science牛校。非常感謝。

Repeating the grade may not be a bad idea especially if your child's English standard needs improvement. Most higher quality U.S. high schools would like to see applicants with at least 100 (should be 100 ) points on their TOFEL and 2200 on SSAT. It is good that your child has interest and competency in visual arts and computer science which is quite common among U.S. students nowadays and should not be interpreted as special skills. U.S. high schools have extensive computing program course for their students eventual entrance to college. You should research and identify the high schools who matriculate their students to colleges that specialize in computing.
翻譯:假若你的孩子英文程度需要提高,重讀不是一個壞主意。很多高質的美國高中想見到申請人起碼有100分以上的托福成績和2200 SSAT成績。你的孩子對visual arts and computer science 有研究這是很好。但現在這些技巧在美國巳經很普遍。不需要寫成是特別技巧。美國高中有很多深入的電腦課程幫學生預備大學課程。你可以去找一找那些高中會保送主修電腦科學的學生上大學。
