Speaker:才腾创始人 Neil Chyten
Title of the topic:
The New Role of Standardized Tests in Admission to America’s Elite Universities
标准测试在美国名校录取中扮演的新角色
Short introduction of topic:
The role of standardized tests in college admissions is changing. While some colleges are going “test optional,” others rely more than ever on the scores, subscores, and writing samples they receive from the testing agencies. While some colleges give you the option of sending scores or not, no college will reject scores if you send them. Thus, sending high test scores to test-optional schools can provide you with a significant competitive advantage. It is also important to understand the other factors that are highly significant in earning admissions into competitive colleges across America. College admissions and testing expert Neil Chyten comes to NCLS on Sunday, November 8 at 3:45 to discuss these and other factors that can help your child earn admission to America’s elite colleges.
Short introduction of speaker:
Neil Chyten began tutoring in 1984. In 1999, he opened the first Chyten Educational Services Center in Newton Massachusetts. His philosophy as a tutor is the same as it is as a business owner, you should only expect 100% of others if you give 100% of yourself. Since 1984, Neil has written several study manuals and teachers guides. These are the books used by Chyten’s tutors and Education Centers nationwide. He has had the pleasure of training literally thousands of students and hundreds of tutors. His goal is to build the best private education company in America.
