More than numbers or rankings, every one of these offers is defined by a story—each individual student’s growth, their participation in activities, their self-discovery and increasing confidence. These are the stories they have learned to tell through their academic accomplishments, their feats in leadership, their participation in Building Shanghai, their community service, their time practicing and performing on stage—and these are the stories which appeal so compellingly to the most competitive colleges and universities. Indeed, it is that investment in every single student—helping them to realize their full potential—that truly creates the larger story of SHBS and these results.

每一份录取通知都不仅仅是一个数字或排名能够定义的，而是由它背后的故事来定义：每一位学生的成长，活动参与，自我发现和不断增加的自信。这些故事就是他们通过自己的学业成绩，领导力成就，建设上海项目的参与和思考，社区服务，舞台排练和演出等来书写和讲述的，也正是这些成长和探索的故事真正地打动了最优质的大学和学院。实际上，正是由于我们关注每一位学生，帮助他们不断发现和发掘自己的最大潜力，才创造了宏润博源的成长故事，获得这样的好成绩。

I’m especially impressed that while college admissions has become all the more competitive over the past few years, our students have actually been all more successful. Whether from elite institutions in the UK, Canada, the US, or elsewhere around the world, our students are receiving more offers that speak to their tremendous potential. Our focus on helping them to understand and articulate the environments in which they’ll best “fit”—and to show how they will gain from and contribute to such distinguished institutions—helps them to stand out from other applicants.

尽管在过去几年里，大学升学竞争变得越来越激烈，但我们的学生却变得更加成功了，这让我不禁赞叹。我们的学生收到了更多的来自英国、加拿大、美国或世界其它地方的顶尖高校的录取通知书，这也说明了我们的学生的巨大潜力。在指导同学们申请大学的过程中，我们重点帮助同学们去了解和表达自己最适合的学习和成长环境，去展现出他们将如何利用卓越院校的资源来锤炼自己，并将如何为院校的发展做贡献。这样的深入思考可以帮助学生在大学申请中脱颖而出。

In the nearly twenty years since I started my first job as an admissions officer—then engaging with students at Princeton, at St. Paul’s School, and since coming to China—I’ve realized how it is students’ sustained self-reflection, their exploration of imagination, and their pairing of curiosity with the creation of new opportunities—that ultimately leads to the most desired outcomes.

自从我开始做大学招生官已经快20年了，后来又在普林斯顿大学和圣保罗高中工作，与学生们有很多沟通互动，之后又来到了中国。我深刻地认识到学生持续的自我反思，对想象力的探索以及将好奇心与创造新机会结合的重要性，正是这些真正帮助他们实现最终的理想结果。

This combined preparation with rigorous academics and so-called “soft” skills begets long-term achievement—and allows students to have the confidence that begets opportunity, rather than simply trying to jump through as many hoops as possible with the view that ranking is the be-all and end-all of their application journey. This begins with the activities we provide for our Pre-high school students—focused on self-discovery and taking initiative—through our application workshops, PS-writing seminars, and one-on-one counseling sessions.

这种深层次的自我探索和准备，再加上严谨的学术训练以及所谓的“软”技能，可以给学生带来长期的成就，让他们有信心创造或抓住机遇，而不是简单地认为大学排名就是他们大学申请的全部，进而孤注一掷地只追求排名。我们对学生的这种深层探索和思考能力的培养贯穿于他们高中生活的每个阶段，从预备年级的自我发现和主动性培养到高年级的升学沟通会议，文书写作研讨会，一对一咨询等各项活动中。

So too as a School, we also work to engage with colleges and universities in ways that provide beneficial prospects—from offering information sessions, to sharing those stories of what makes our community special and advocating for individual applicants.

作为学校，我们也经常与各大高校保持互动沟通，为我们的学生争取升学优势—我们会向大学提供学校的相关信息，分享我们学校的优势和独特之处，也会直接联系大学为学生的申请站台。

Along with my colleagues on the College Advising team—Chuman Lin, Olivia Chen, and Chloe Chen—I know that SHBS’s truly remarkable track record will pave the way for all the more fantastic results in the future. We hope you’ll learn more about the individual stories reflected in these compelling results, that you’ll come to craft your own as part of the SHBS community.  

我和我们升学团队的同事们—林楚漫老师、陈远萍老师、陈皓一老师—都坚信宏润博源学校越来越好的升学成果会为我们未来更大的成功铺好道路。希望大家有机会可以多了解一下我们每一份升学成果背后的故事，也期待你开始构思作为宏润博源学校一份子想要书写的故事。
