   "Which college are you going to？"Many high school students are often asked this question. For some，the answer is Harvard，Stanford，Princeton or another famous university. For others，it might be State U，a small liberal arts college or even a community college. Whether high school students' answer is a private top college or a large public university，it should be their best-fit choice.

Admission rates（录取率）of some of the country's top universities have been dropping for years up to now，with many admitting less than 10 percent of applicants. This makes these colleges all the more desirable to some applicants because they think being admitted to one of these highly selective colleges makes sure of success.

The truth is that the name brand doesn't make a college a good choice for you. Just ask one of the students who were admitted to all eight Ivy League colleges this year. He turned them all down to attend the University of Alabama，which best met his financial and academic needs.

Just like anything else in life，when something is a good fit，it works. Students that attend colleges that match their academic，social and financial needs，while still providing an academically challenging environment，are more likely to graduate on time. On the other hand，students who attend colleges that are not a good fit are more likely.to struggle，feel anxiety and stress，and fail to get out in four years. In fact，some of the colleges with the highest graduation rates aren't in the Ivy League.

It's a good fit that leads to good results — not the name of a school. Just look at some of the colleges with the highest starting salaries. Colleges like Montana Tech and Oregon Health & Science University are among the top 10 colleges with the highest early-career salaries-with Stanford and the Ivy Leagues only making the top 25.

No single college is going to be a great fit for every student，and this especially applies（适用）to the Ivy Leagues and other well-known colleges. That a college just has a famous name doesn't mean it's going to make sure of success in college or your career.

   Immigrant children are often highly motivated and have ambitious parents. And these clever, knowledge-hungry youngsters often achieve higher results than the rest of the classmates.

In 1954, the United States opened its borders to an immigrant from Syria. His son, Steve Jobs, became one of the most creative entrepreneurs（企业家）.In the current refugee crisis, that might look like a fairy tale, but it is not that unbelievable.

While immigrant youngsters might face cultural, social and economic disadvantages, the top 10% of 15- year-old students with an immigrant background in the United States did just as well as the top 10% without an immigrant background, as measured by Pisa, an international test.

In fact, when considering social background, these high-achieving immigrant teenagers were almost a school year ahead.

This doesn't only happen in the United States. In 13out of the 37 countries with comparable data, including the United Kingdom, the top 10% of immigrants were at least 10 points ahead of the non-immigrant students in Pisa, after considering social background.

These highly motivated students, managing to overcome the double disadvantages of poverty and an immigrant background, have the potential（潜力）to make exceptional contributions to their host countries.

On average across all countries, top performing immigrants and non-immigrants reached similar levels of performance on the Pisa mathematics test. Many immigrants seem determined to make the most of any opportunity that arises. Their children also seem ready to take on an academic challenge. Alongside the Pisa are questions about students' willingness to try to solve more complex problems. First-generation immigrants, including in the UK, are more likely than average to want to stretch themselves and try to answer more difficult problems.

The OECD's research shows that in most cases immigrant students and their parents hold an ambition to win the matches, and in some cases they go beyond the expectations of families in their host country. For example, parents of immigrant students in Belgium, Germany and Hungary are more likely to expect that their children will go to university and get a degree than parents of students without an immigrant background.

It's my honor to share my dream university to you. I'm glad to tell you that my dream university is Peking University，that is one of the best university in the world.

There are several reasons why I like Peking University. At first，it had first-class teachers and equipment, which will help me make the progress quickly. Secondly, it is famous for their positive academic atmosphere, where students study hardly to meet new challenges. But at last, my brother, who studies there, says he is very satisfying with the university.

It's not easy enter Peking University, but I think my dream will come true if I work hard. Could you tell me something about your dream university?

Yours,

Li Hua
