顶级寄宿中学桥梁项目

美国国土安全局的数据显示，截止至2015年11月在美全部持有F1或M1学生签证的高中生为60815人，其中中国学生为34578人。自2013年10月到2015年两年间的时间，中国在美的中学生从22558人增长至34578人，增长率为53%，增长个数为12020人，每年都达到新高。

到底进入顶级寄宿中学有多难？！

虽然中国申请人数持续增长，但学校的实际招生人数并未有所增加，甚至减少，超过70%的学校招收人数依旧保持在0-9人，因此竞争越发激烈。例如往年招生人数都在8-10人的The Hill School招生官明确表示2017-2018学年预计录取中国学生人数剧降为4人。

寄宿中学前10名的学校录取率只有3.59%，11-25名左右的学校录取仅为2.88%，排名26-50名左右的寄宿中学录取率才有3.77%。虽然中国申请者的人数逐年增加，但绝大部分学校依然严格的控制中国学生的数量和比例，让想进入TOP50寄宿中学的学生，难上加难。

录取分数普遍高于最低要求分数（只是个门槛），前10学校的录取分达到111分。排名越靠前的学校，托福录取平均分越高。前50学校基本都在100以上。据统计，录取学生的平均托福最高的学校为Deerfield Academy ，达到115分。

可见，由于整体培训市场的成熟，托福和SSAT的分数整体性提高，很难再起到对美高申请者的区分作用，整个申请过程中的参照标准向其它方面转移。例如：面试时的口语表达和逻辑能力，竞技性体育特长，音乐绘画等艺术特长，义工活动及其他特长等等。

即使进入顶级寄宿中学千难万难，但依然是众多家长和学生的梦想，所以火石的顶级寄宿中学桥梁项目，是进入顶级寄宿中学的最有效途径，让学生另辟蹊径进入美国顶级寄宿中学。
