Does Brown award credits toward graduation based on Advanced Placement exams or for courses completed at another college?如果学生通过了AP考试或者在其它大学已经修过了某些课程，布朗大学在毕业时承认这些学分吗？Any work you have done beyond your high school curriculum is valued as part of our consideration of your candidacy, but Brown does not grant course credit based on exam scores or college credits earned before enrolling as an undergraduate. However, strong AP exam results (and certain other credentials) or advanced coursework may allow students to forego certain course prerequisites so as to progress more quickly to upper level Brown offerings.答：布朗虽然很重视你高中毕业后所学的任何课程，但是在正式成为布朗大学的本科生前所修的任何课程我们是不能给予学分的。不过优秀的AP考试成绩，特殊才能和提前选修的高级课程有可能帮助学生提前选修高年级的本科课程而促进提前毕业。
Does Brown use a formula to evaluate academic credentials?布朗大学使用一个固定的公式来衡量学生的学术能力吗？No. There is no formula we can think of that would accurately capture the academic ability and qualities of thought that we value most.答：不。我们从不认为有任何死板的公式能准确衡量我们最看重的一个学生的学术能力和思辨力。
Is there a minimum grade average or class rank expectation for applicants?对于申请人有没有最低的平均分或者班级排名要求？No. However, we are fortunate to be able to select from among a group of students who tend to do exceptionally well, so there may be an illusion that only students with all ?A’s are admitted. For one thing, grades at one school are not awarded in the same way as they are in another school, so it does not make sense for us to be unduly focused on comparing applicants’ grade averages. The same applies to class ranks. Everything else being equal, students with mostly high grades often stand out among our applicants, but we do not make our admissions decisions based on a grade average or class rank without also considering the many other factors that help us gauge students’ academic promise.答：没有。但是布朗一向能幸运地从大量极其优秀的学生中选择录取对象，因而给人造成非全优生不录取的错觉。但是我们很清楚各个学校评分的宽严程度不一，因而我们并不盲目地比较学生的平均分或者排名。但是成绩突出的学生倾向于在各方面都表现得更优秀，但我们对一个学生学术潜力的衡量标准是全面的，绝不只靠分数和排名而定。
Are there minimum standardized test requirements or expectations for applicants?关于标准化考试有没有基本要求？No. As with grades, we do receive many applications from students with high test scores, and do consider standardized test results in the context of all the other information we have about a candidate. Many of our applicants demonstrate strong academic potential in spite of relatively modest test scores.答：没有。虽然我们每年都会收到大量标准化考试成绩突出的学生申请，分数并不是考量的绝对标准，只是其中一个考虑因素。有很多申请人虽然标准化考试成绩平平，在我们看来却有很强的学术潜力。
How does Brown evaluate standardized tests?布朗如何衡量标准化考试成绩？We look at your test scores along with other information about your academic promise as we read your complete application. We do not attempt to assess test results in a formulaic way. If you have taken tests more than once, we concentrate on your highest scores. For the three components of the SAT, we focus on your best scores, regardless of the date you had taken the test (we do not calculate averages, nor do we look at the sum total of the components).答：我们综合地看，你的标准化考试和你的全套申请材料是不可分的，没有什么僵化的公式可以简单地界定。如果你考过不只一次，我们倾向于看你最好的分数。对于SAT考试的三部分，我们只会关注你每部分的最高分而不算平均分或者每次总分的最高分。
Does Brown allow the ?Score Choice‖ option for reporting SAT results?布朗允许在SAT送分的时候选择送哪些分数吗？Yes. However, because we require both the SAT Critical Reasoning tests and two SAT Subject Tests, it is very important that you have those results available to us when we begin reading completed Regular Decision applications in December. That means you must not wait to see December or January test results before making your score choices. You may select among any test scores you have up until and including the results of the November SAT test administration. Keep in mind that we
automaticallyfocus on your highest test scores anyway; in that sense we exercise ?score choice for you, and always in your favor. You should also know that we
doconsider test results from the December and January SAT exams; the scores will reach us in time for us to see them before our final decisions are made in late March. The ACT with writing component may be used to substitute for the SAT Critical Reasoning Test and the SAT Subject Tests.答：是的。但是因为我们要求SATI的阅读分数和两门SATII的分数，你需要在我们十二月份审查你的完整申请材料时提交这些分数。这就意味着你不能等看到你十二月或者一月份的考试成绩后再决定你的送分选项。你可以选择迄十一月为止的任何一次考试分数。请记住我们会自动只看你的最高分，尽力选择对你最有利的申请条件。但是，在三月底我们做出最后决定前，我们也会参考十二月和一月份的SAT成绩。带有写作部分的ACT成绩可以替代SAT阅读和SATII.
How does Brown evaluate my high school record?布朗如何评定我的高中成绩？The most important consideration in our determination of your academic potential at Brown is your high school performance and preparedness. By performance we mean not only whether you have high grades, but how well you have been able to master certain skills associated with learning. For example, we review your teacher recommendations to get a sense of your curiosity, problem-solving abilities, openness to different points of view, ability to express yourself orally and in writing, work ethic—and a few dozen other qualities. By ?preparedness we mean the depth and breadth of the academic learning you have undertaken (both in the classroom and outside). We want to know the extent to which you have taken advantage of the courses available to you in your school, whether you have challenged yourself in advanced classes, or have stretched yourself with outside-of-school educational opportunities. We know that it is impossible to assess your talents and potential fully and perfectly, but we try to look well beyond a checklist of high school courses and the number of A’s and B’s earned along the way.答：你高中时的表现和和潜力是我们考虑你未来学术发展最重要的因素。所谓表现并不单单只高分，而是你是否有一定的自主学习能力。举例来说，当我们看到你的老师的推荐信时，我们想看到你是否具备好奇心，解决问题的能力，对不同观点的包容，优秀的口头和书面表达能力以及严谨的工作态度。这只是一部分。关于潜力部分，我们希望看到你在课内外学习中表现出的深度和广度，想知道你在多大程度上利用了学校的课程资源，是否选修了难度较高的课程或者利用了校外的教育资源来挑战自己。我们清楚要全面而完整地了解你的潜力和才能是不可能的，但是我们尽力做到如此而不是仅仅看重一串高中的成绩单。
