                                        November 3, 1998      
              引 言 ： 为 什 么 要 申 请 名 校 ？  
 
              　 　 与 很 多 其 他 的 中 国 学 生 不 一 样 ， 我 在 十 年 
 级 以 前 并 没 有 仔 
              细 想 过 要 上 哪 一 个 大 学 。 记 得 那 时 我 们 家 也 并 
 不 特 别 注 重 「 名 
              牌 」 ， 父 母 的 意 见 甚 至 是 ， 如 果 争 取 不 到 资 助 
 ， 就 上 我 们 所 在 
              的 美 国 新 泽 西 州 学 费 便 宜 、 教 学 质 量 也 不 错 的 
 州 立 罗 格 斯 大 学 
              （ Rutgers University ） 。 说 到 底 ， 师 父 领 进 门 ，  
修 行 在 个 人 。 成 不 
              成 材 ， 主 要 是 看 自 己 是 否 努 力 。  
 
              　 　 但 后 来 这 种 想 法 有 了 一 定 改 变 。  
 
              　 　 许 多 过 来 人 对 我 们 说 ， 尽 管 在 课 堂 内 ， 名 
 牌 大 学 的 教 育 质 
              量 不 一 定 比 一 般 的 「 非 名 牌 」 大 学 好 多 少 ， 但 
 在 课 堂 外 ， 名 校 
              学 生 和 教 授 的 素 质 却 的 确 能 比 一 般 大 学 高 出 一 
 筹 。 在 一 九 九 八 
              年 五 月 中 国 北 京 大 学 百 年 校 庆 期 间 「 世 界 大 学 
 校 长 论 坛 」 上 ， 
              加 州 大 学 柏 克 莱 分 校 前 华 人 校 长 田 长 霖 博 士 说 
 ， 未 来 的 大 学 必 
              须 非 常 关 心 学 生 的 生 活 ， 因 为 学 生 在 生 活 中 学 
 到 的 东 西 ， 往 往 
              比 课 堂 上 学 到 的 多 。 这 番 话 也 指 出 不 能 光 看 课 
 堂 上 如 何 。 大 学 
              本 科 四 年 是 人 生 关 键 阶 段 ， 在 这 个 时 期 你 交 下 
 什 么 朋 友 、 建 立 
              什 么 社 会 关 系 、 认 识 什 么 教 授 、 被 哪 种 人 影 响 
 、 被 哪 种 学 习 环 
              境 薰 陶 、 遇 到 什 么 样 的 机 会 ， 这 都 与 你 去 哪 所 
 大 学 至 关 重 要 。 
              这 些 ， 尤 其 是 「 机 会 」 ， 也 许 就 是 名 牌 大 学 能 
 给 你 提 供 的 最 重 
              要 的 资 源 。  
 
              　 　 另 外 一 个 很 现 实 的 问 题 ， 就 是 社 会 各 界 ─ 
 ─ 研 究 院 的 招 生 
              工 作 人 员 、 公 司 的 人 事 部 负 责 人 、 各 种 基 金 会 
 的 项 目 审 核 小 组 
              成 员 ─ ─ 简 而 言 之 ， 那 些 可 能 决 定 你 的 未 来 命 
 运 的 人 ， 都 或 多 
              或 少 地 对 名 牌 大 学 有 一 种 固 定 的 印 象 。 「 名 牌 
 大 学 」 被 社 会 各 
              界 推 崇 ， 这 已 是 既 成 事 实 。 它 们 的 一 举 一 动 会 
 比 「 非 名 牌 大 学 
              」 产 生 的 社 会 影 响 要 广 泛 ， 它 们 在 人 的 心 目 中 
 确 实 占 据 了 重 要 
              的 位 置 ， 成 为 「 优 秀 」 与 「 杰 出 」 的 代 名 词 。 
 不 管 你 是 否 赞 同 
              这 种 印 象 ， 它 在 的 确 是 许 多 人 做 出 选 择 要 考 虑 
 的 因 素 之 一 。 从 
              这 一 点 看 来 ， 那 些 望 子 成 龙 的 中 国 家 长 们 急 切 
 地 想 要 子 女 们 进 
              「 名 牌 大 学 」 ， 也 是 不 无 道 理 更 无 可 非 议 的 。 
  
 
              　 　 还 有 ， 名 牌 大 学 的 名 气 到 底 从 何 处 而 来 ？ 
 名 牌 大 学 不 是 各 
              领 风 骚 三 五 年 ， 像 哈 佛 大 学 建 校 三 百 多 年 ， 在 
 高 校 林 立 、 激 烈 
              竞 争 中 稳 居 美 国 高 等 院 校 的 榜 首 ， 靠 的 是 实 力 
 ， 绝 不 是 浪 得 虚 
              名 。 一 个 学 校 的 实 力 由 多 种 因 素 构 成 ， 取 决 于 
 财 力 是 否 充 足 ， 
              招 生 是 否 严 格 ， 教 授 的 教 学 质 量 如 何 ， 它 在 各 
 个 学 术 领 域 的 影 
              响 大 小 ， 以 及 学 校 本 身 不 断 创 新 ， 随 著 社 会 需 
 变 化 而 调 整 的 弹 
              性 。  
 
              　 　 当 然 ， 尺 有 所 短 ， 寸 有 所 长 ， 名 牌 大 学 不 
 是 十 全 十 美 ， 更 
              不 是 学 生 成 材 的 绝 对 保 证 。 我 想 这 一 点 无 须 我 
 多 绕 舌 。
