2017-3-7 昨天妹妹转过来一个伊妹儿,说是拿到了迈阿密大学的提供的全免学费奖学金: Congratulations! I am pleased to inform you that you have been selected to receive the Isaac Bashevis Singer Scholarship, one of the highest academic honors given to incoming students at the University of Miami, which covers full tuition for four years of undergraduate study. In awarding you this scholarship, we recognize your exceptional academic achievements. You were selected from an elite group of students to be part of one of the most talented and diverse classes in the history of the University of Miami. It is also my pleasure to invite you to become a member of the prestigious Foote Fellows Honors Program. As a Foote Fellow, you will have maximum freedom to explore a multitude of educational resources within the curricular framework of your school or college. Foote Fellows have access to unique learning opportunities and educational guidance within their school or college and many are able to pursue additional majors and/or minors, as well as study abroad. 迈阿密大学每年大约授予50-60名新生这类奖学金,是所有300名被邀请去面试学生的1/5,机会还是蛮大的说。 这是像迈阿密大学一样排名在前二十到五十之间的二流学校,和全美一流大学竞争优秀生源的唯一妙招。排名前十之内的学校,提供的学生按需奖学金数额,对中等收入家庭出身的学生,会有更大的诱惑,而对收入富裕的家庭,学费根本不在考虑之内,吸引力也不是很大。所以除非学生特别喜欢迈阿密大学的某一专业,否则仅靠提供奖学金,很难收到全美最顶尖的学生。
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For " is a song by Irish rock band U2 . It is the second track from their 1987 album The Joshua Tree and was released as the album's second single in May 1987. Songwriters: CLAYTON, ADAM / EVANS, DAVE / HEWSON, PAUL DAVID / MULLEN, LARRY / REINA, VICTOR U2 1987 I have climbed highest mountain I have run through the fields Only to be with you Only to be with you I have run I have crawled I have scaled these city walls These city walls Only to be with you But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for I have kissed honey lips Felt the healing in her fingertips It burned like fire This burning desire I have spoke with the tongue of angels I have held the hand of a devil It was warm in the night I was cold as a stone But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for I believe in the kingdom come Then all the colors will bleed into one Bleed into one Well yes I'm still running You broke the bonds and you Loosed the chains Carried the cross Of my shame Of my shame You know I believed it But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for... All I want is You U2 1988 You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold You say you want your story to remain untold But all the promises we make from the cradle to the grave When all I want is you You say you'll give me a highway with no one on it Treasure just to look upon it all the riches in the night You say you'll give me eyes in a moon of blindness A river in a time of dryness, a harbour in the tempest But all the promises we make from the cradle to the grave When all I want is you You say you want your love to work out right To last with me through the night You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold Your story to remain untold, your love not to grow cold All the promises we break from the cradle to the grave When all I want is you You All I want is you All I want is you All I want is you
