2017年7月28日消息,USNEWS排名第39的加州大学欧文分校突然之间取消了2017年秋季入学的503份本科录取一事在留学圈内闹得沸沸扬扬,今日UCI副校长针对此事终于发布官方声明。
下面附上双语声明:
Dear Prospective Anteater:
亲爱的食蚁兽们(食蚁兽为UCI的吉祥物,泛指该校的学生)
You recently received a letter from our admissions team regarding your status at the University of California, Irvine. I understand that the notification may have been disappointing and frightening, so I wanted to take a moment to explain our decision-making process, help you respond, and acknowledge our missteps.
你最近收到了一封来自我们招生团队的信,有关于你在加州大学尔湾分校的申请及录取状态。我明白这份通知可能给你带来失望和恐慌,因此我想花点时间解释一下我们的决策过程,以帮助你应对,并承认我们的失误。
This year, UCI experienced unprecedented demand from students eager to join the Anteater family. We received more than104, 000 applications – more than all but two colleges nationwide – and the number of students intending to register for fall classes was higher than expected. You are to be once again congratulated for your acceptance into one of the world’s premier universities.
今年,UCI收到的申请人数创历史新高,学生们加入食蚁兽大家庭的热情空前高涨。我们共收到超过10万4000份的申请-仅仅少于全国范围内两所大学的数量,而打算登记秋季课程的学生人数也比预期要高。再次祝贺你被世界顶级之一的大学录取。
Acceptances into all University of California campuses is provisional, contingent on meeting the contractual terms and conditions that were clearly outlined in your original admissions offer. This includes submitting all academic materials such as transcripts and test scores by the agreed-upon deadline, upholding strong academic performance throughout the senior year of high school that meets agreed upon thresholds, and having no discrepancies between the grades and courses you reported on your application and what we see once we review your official final transcript.
所有加州大学的录取都是暂定的,最终取决于你是否能够达到录取通知上所列举的入学申请要求。这包括:在截止日期前提交所有学术材料,如成绩单和考试成绩;在高三毕业期间保持良好的学术水平,达到录取分数要求;保障申请时所提交的成绩及课程与我们最后收到的官方成绩单一致。
Every year, we notify students who are not in compliance with these terms and conditions. And, every year, there are students who did not comply for legitimate reasons. In some cases, the actions which result in an offer being rescinded occur through no fault of the student. Perhaps their high school didn’t process the transcript or a teacher submitted the wrong grade. For those cases, we have an appeal process outlined on our website (http://www.admissions.uci.edu/apply/faq/appeals.php). If you believe that you received a withdrawal notification in error, or you have legitimate reasons for not complying with the acceptance agreement, I urge you to appeal. For those of you who already submitted an appeal, we are reviewing them as quickly as possible and we thank you for your patience as we work through the files we are reviewing.
