　　近日，密歇根大學(xué)(University of Michigan-Ann Arbor)宣布共收到31,599份新生入學(xué)申請(qǐng)，連續(xù)第四年創(chuàng)下新高。

　　截止到6月1日，學(xué)校已向其中的15,979人發(fā)放了錄取通知，預(yù)計(jì)秋季會(huì)有6,350人報(bào)到入學(xué)，比去年高出了300人，創(chuàng)造了密歇根大學(xué)新生人數(shù)的歷史新紀(jì)錄。

　　密歇根大學(xué)本科錄取辦公室的負(fù)責(zé)人Erica Sanders，對(duì)這一批數(shù)目異常龐大的新生可能帶來(lái)的問(wèn)題深感憂(yōu)慮。

　　Sanders說(shuō)，數(shù)目如此空前的2010-2011年度新生實(shí)在太不正常了，盡管這表明學(xué)校的聲望在提高，但學(xué)生群體的膨脹并不是本科錄取辦公室所期望的。

　　“近幾年來(lái)，密歇根大學(xué)的錄取競(jìng)爭(zhēng)一直非常激烈，”Sanders說(shuō)，“我們尋求創(chuàng)造一個(gè)充滿(mǎn)活力的學(xué)生群體，學(xué)校能夠從他們身上汲取各種新思想，同時(shí)教他們?nèi)绾稳ヌ剿鞑煌膶W(xué)術(shù)領(lǐng)域。但如此龐大的群體并非我們的目標(biāo)?！?/p>

　　密歇根大學(xué)確認(rèn)迄今已有6900名被錄取學(xué)生提交了入學(xué)定金，占實(shí)際錄取總?cè)藬?shù)的43.2%。考慮到已經(jīng)交納定金的學(xué)生中會(huì)有一部分最終決定放棄密歇根，于是，預(yù)期的新生規(guī)模降到了目前的6,350人。

　　由于新生人數(shù)激增，Sanders表示學(xué)校目前正在努力，確保學(xué)校到秋季能夠容納所有的學(xué)生。她說(shuō)：“為了讓即將入學(xué)的新生渡過(guò)愉快的一年，學(xué)校成立了一個(gè)工作小組，從設(shè)法讓餐廳有能力保障每個(gè)人的就餐，到讓課程能夠滿(mǎn)足每名學(xué)生的需求，做著方方面面的準(zhǔn)備?！?/p>

　　Sanders認(rèn)為整個(gè)錄取過(guò)程的管理是一門(mén)科學(xué)更是一種藝術(shù)，他們?cè)谂閷W(xué)生和家長(zhǎng)消除申請(qǐng)和錄取過(guò)程中可能出現(xiàn)的任何問(wèn)題。然而，仍然有一些因素，像經(jīng)濟(jì)上的，就不在錄取委員們的能力范圍內(nèi)。但關(guān)于這方面，校方會(huì)竭盡全力幫助家庭減輕支付學(xué)費(fèi)所帶來(lái)的經(jīng)濟(jì)負(fù)擔(dān)。

　　“對(duì)家庭關(guān)注的問(wèn)題，學(xué)校都有所回應(yīng)，”她補(bǔ)充道，“像助學(xué)金辦公室就在為緩解家庭在經(jīng)濟(jì)上的顧慮而向?qū)W生提供必要的資助?！?/p>

　　Sanders還透露，在上個(gè)月的會(huì)議上，學(xué)校的董事會(huì)投票通過(guò)了州內(nèi)學(xué)生1.5%的學(xué)費(fèi)增長(zhǎng)和州外學(xué)生學(xué)費(fèi)3%的漲幅。而這次州內(nèi)學(xué)費(fèi)的增長(zhǎng)幅度是26年來(lái)董事會(huì)通過(guò)的最小漲幅。她相信學(xué)校選擇將學(xué)費(fèi)的增長(zhǎng)控制在一個(gè)適度的范圍內(nèi)，幫助緩解了那些即將要供孩子讀大學(xué)的父母的焦慮情緒。

　　Sanders說(shuō)，密歇根大學(xué)不是唯一一所提高備選生源儲(chǔ)備的學(xué)?！，F(xiàn)在越來(lái)越多的學(xué)生開(kāi)始申請(qǐng)更多的學(xué)校，致使申請(qǐng)的總量在不斷增加，為了保證招生人數(shù)的穩(wěn)定，學(xué)校不得不采取這樣的手段。

　　密歇根還宣布，為了方便那些在未來(lái)幾年想要申請(qǐng)來(lái)校讀書(shū)的學(xué)生，學(xué)校將于今年8月1日，即2011-2012學(xué)年度申請(qǐng)開(kāi)始的第一天起，正式啟用Common申請(qǐng)系統(tǒng)。Sanders說(shuō)，雖然加入Common申請(qǐng)系統(tǒng)的決定最終是由錄取辦公室做出的，這一決定同樣得到了學(xué)校主管的支持。本科錄取辦公室的執(zhí)行理事、密歇根大學(xué)代理副校長(zhǎng)Ted Spencer表示，是完善整個(gè)錄取過(guò)程的愿望讓錄取辦公室決定加入Common申請(qǐng)系統(tǒng)。

　　“我們一直在想辦法做得更好”，Spencer說(shuō)，“特別是在眼下，經(jīng)濟(jì)上頗具挑戰(zhàn)的時(shí)期，我們?cè)谙朕k法用更少的資源做得更好。我們相信Common申請(qǐng)系統(tǒng)將會(huì)為學(xué)生、老師和升學(xué)顧問(wèn)簡(jiǎn)化整個(gè)申請(qǐng)過(guò)程。同時(shí)，能夠?yàn)殇浫∞k公室節(jié)省開(kāi)支?！?/p>

原文：Record number of applicants not goal of Admissions, 'U' director of recruitment says

　　By: Devon Thorsby

　　Published July 1st, 2010

　　In a press release issued last week, the University announced that it received a record number of applications — 31,599 in total — from the incoming freshman class for the fourth consecutive year.

　　With 15,979 of those applicants being offered admission as of Jun. 1, the press release projected that 6,350 students will begin classes as freshmen in the fall, setting an all-time record for freshman class size at the University and topping last year’s enrollment numbers by some 300 students.

　　Erica Sanders, the director of recruitment and operations for the University’s Office of Undergraduate Admissions, weighed in on the implications of an unusually large incoming class for the University community.

　　Sanders said the record number of projected freshman for the 2010-2011 academic year is an anomaly at the school, and while it reveals an increasing level of prestige for the University, the increase in the size of the campus community was not the goal of the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.

　　“Admissions have been competitive to the University of Michigan for a number of years,” Sanders said. “We look for a vibrant class of students the University can learn from and teach to explore many different academic opportunities. But large volume isn’t really our goal.”

　　The University confirmed in the press release that 6,900 students out of those who have been accepted have paid their enrollment deposits thus far — a 43.2 percent yield rate of those accepted to the University.

　　With the possibility that some students who have already submitted enrollment deposits will eventually decide not to attend the University, the projected size reaches its current number of 6,350 students.

　　As a result of the increased size in the freshman class, Sanders noted that the University is in the process of making sure all students will be properly accommodated in the fall.

　　“The University has created a working group to make sure incoming students have a good year next year,” she said. “From making sure the dining halls will be able to serve everyone … to the availability of classes.”

　　Sanders said that the management of the admissions process “is more of an art than a science” in working to eliminate any possible problems in the application and enrollment process for prospective students and their families.

　　But Sanders said some factors, like the economy, are out of the hands of admissions officers. For that aspect, Sanders said the University works to ease the financial burden of paying for college.

　　“The University responded to concerns families had,” she said. “The Office of Financial Aid worked to provide individual assistance with planning to ease any financial concerns.”

　　In their meeting last month, the University’s Board of Regents voted to approve a 1.5-percent tuition increase for in-state students and a 3-percent tuition increase for out-of-state students.

　　The in-state tuition increase is the smallest approved by the Board of Regents in 26 years.

　　Sanders said she believes the University’s choice to present a more modest increase in tuition has helped to ease the concerns of those preparing to pay for new students’ educations.

　　The University also announced its official switch to the Common Application for students considering applying to the University in future years.

　　Sanders said while the ultimate decision to switch to the Common Application happened in the Office of Admissions, the decision was also supported by the University’s executives.

　　Ted Spencer, executive director of the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and associate vice provost for the University, said the desire to improve the overall application process led the Office of Admissions to join the Common Application network.

　　"U-M decided to join the Common Application because we are always looking for ways to do better,” Spencer said in the press release. “Especially in these challenging economic times, we are looking for ways to do better with less. We believe the Common App will streamline the application process for students, teachers, and counselors.”

　　Sanders added that while the use of the Common Application could initially save the Office of Admissions money, it is too early to determine if the application network will ultimately be a source of financial savings.

　　“It’s too early to tell,” Sanders said. “Reports from peer schools indicate an increase in applications, and the savings in application vendor may mean additional money spent for processing.”

　　The University’s use of the Common Application network will begin Aug. 1, marking the first day applications for the 2011-2012 school year may be submitted, according to the press release.
