先週2月13日、アメリカ政府は教育省のCollege Affordability(値頃感) and Transparency(透明性) Centerから、カレッジ・スコアカードを発表しました。2011年の大卒生が平均$26,600の学生ローンの負債があるという現状から、各大学がいくらかかり、学位を取った後その経済的な負担が割りに合うのかを、高校生やその家族が知ることができるように作られたオンライン・ツールです。http://collegecost.ed.gov/scorecard/
• Some students have a background or story that is so central to their identity that they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story. • Recount an incident or time when you experienced failure. How did it affect you, and what lessons did you learn? • Reflect on a time when you challenged a belief or idea. What prompted you to act? Would you make the same decision again? • Describe a place or environment where you are perfectly content. What do you do or experience there, and why is it meaningful to you? • Discuss an accomplishment or event, formal or informal, that marked your transition from childhood to adulthood within your culture, community, or family.
